Intention. So there is a chance.
I dunno when we suddenly got 300M more to spend, but I'm all for it.

Didn’t you hear we’re selling Garner?
We’ll get none of those 3
Club thinks they're playing FIFA ultimate team
reminds me of Woodward and Moyes chasing Bale and Fabregas all summer
Or the Spanish press are just making shit up
Ornstein mentioned we are keen on Casemiro
Hope those emissaries have a nice time in Madrid. Maybe Murtough will fly out to join them.
I’m not arguing with that but yes when we signed Varane Sancho n Ronnie after finishing 2nd we were kind of a dark horse in the race.
Yeah interested maybe but sending 'executives' out to Madrid to try and sign two players whose clubs don't want to sell seems far fetched.
So he is for sale then?
Not cheap at all for a 30 year old player, but that would be a very good player at least
I think we should pay that.
70m for a 30 year old who's already won it all at Real Madrid? What could go wrong!
Don’t forget Kroos too. I’m sure his buddy will be able to tell him exactly what it means to be linked with United over the summer.
Top of the line at our biggest position of need but can't see it happening for the life of me.
We're desperate and would likely gladly offer up near that sum and it would be hard for Real to turn that down after investing so heavily in their midfield already lately.
At the end of the day, just like with De Jong, it's hard to see the player thinking it'll be worthwhile for him or worth the extra millions he'd earn.
This move is clearly not going to happen, but if today has any silver lining it's that we're not signing Rabiot.
We were linked to Kroos during the Moyes season. We actually had the deal done for him but we sacked Moyes and van Gaal didn't sign him.
Similar situation with Thiago in 2013.
This is the only reason why I think there's a chance. They'll be looking to shift him at some point anyways, if some club comes with a stupid offer they'll surely consider it. Of course, whether the player accepts is another story.
Nice to see our time is being wasted by silly things like these.
Casemiro would be my dream DM signing joint with Verratti, however can safely say will never see either in Utd shirt.
Perez cashing in now does seem a possibility given Casemiro’s age and having already signed his replacement.
Plus some extra money never goes astray when he tries for Ninja Turtle again next summer.

Well that lasted long, Utd please start using some sense of brain cells and stop chasing unrealistic targets not looking to leave
Mr Mbappe is the world's first combined player and sporting director. I doubt he'll leave PSG. If he's unhappy, he'll just give himself a raise.
Kroos actually wanted to come but LVG didn't want him the goon. Wanted a washed Schweinsteiger and Schneiderlin instead though
.Next up. Kylian Mbappe and Joshua Kimmich.
We aren't quite that deluded, well don't think

God that one still hurts to this day, never forgave LVG for such a ridiculous decisionKroos actually wanted to come but LVG didn't want him the goon. Wanted a washed Schweinsteiger and Schneiderlin instead though
"So here's the deal. We realised we're shit. We're paying you £400K a week. We'll be signing de Jong on the same wage to play with you, and we're signing Joao Felix to play up top on the same wage."
I can see this happening.
So can I.
Limited play time, the writing is on the wall for him at Madrid. If not this season, then the next.
One last sizeable contract.
Madrid would be willing to sell at the right price too.
Wouldn’t be the worst scenario, to be frank. With those three coming this transfer window, I could see United challenging for top 4"So here's the deal. We realised we're shit. We're paying you £400K a week. We'll be signing de Jong on the same wage to play with you, and we're signing Joao Felix to play up top on the same wage."
Louis fecked up.
Finally a target who would make a difference for us. Marco Asencio is available for transfer, he'd be another one i'd go for.
I was initially skeptical, but Madrid have invested heavily in midfield and unlike us, they rebuild on the fly while they're on top. Why wouldn't they cash in to increase their reserve for a Mbappe run in the future.
They would. Everyone who said they’d never sell weren’t thinking it through. The question is should we spend 55m on a 30 year old who has won it all and would be taking a step down. That seems to have red flags all over it.
I'd rather we spend that on Caicedo tbh.
I always wonder how differently things would be had Thiago and Kroos joined as they were supposed to. Then I remember how poorly we have been run so they probably would have looked average.
