Offer him a better contract. We've offered him a 1 year contract ffs, we offered more to mata, matic, cavani etc and they were older.

This would be a really smart signing for once. If he plays to his top level it would be a massive improvement on what we have.
“The old method didn’t work, what were they thinking!”
“Why are they doing this, they never did it this way in the past!”
He's 30 years old not 35! A two contract isn't ludicrous, surely we don't want to sign him for a single season ?
Even if he signed a 1 year contract and played decently we would anyways try to renew the contract on increased wages so might aswell tie him down for 2+1 years now.
I wasn’t aware we had to be honest. Feck is he waiting for. Seems to happen to all of our targets.
Will we get a player on free that's something that you don't see at Utd often. He will add much needed depth and quality.
Absolute class player. I want us to sign him so badly. We get him and de Jong and our football changes radically. One of the biggest reasons teams over run us and mount attack after attack is because of our midfield. You don’t need a destroyer in the middle of the park to control the tempo of the match against teams outside top 6. We have been so bad at keeping the ball and playing simple passes it’s almost criminal.
It feels like fred Mctominay and Bruno are having their own competition who can misplace as many passes as possible. How can the defense have any sort of protection in such a scenario ? Ten hag has recognised this and is prioritising to rectify it first and foremost and I couldn’t be more happier.

Pep would make that work.
I’d actually be excited for that. Would just need Rashford to find his desire again.

Most players do that. With Manutd, press report the same thing daily so it seems it takes an eternity.
Most likely we will get to know by next weekend.
The Spurs correspondent (tier 1) Alasdair Gold is basically saying that Paratici (Spurs DoF) has made multiple attempts to sign him since his time with Juve and now with Spurs, but Spurs are now playing down the signing. Seems like he's rejected Spurs and will be moving elsewhere. And staying in London isn't important to the player by what's being reported.

Looks like this is a goer then.
It would send him on another sabbatical.
Bruno and Fred would drive him to drink
Age starts with a 3, and out of contract. What the feck are Juventus waiting for?
He had a heart attack and died on the pitch.
His recovery has been incredible and I hope we take the risk and sign him but I am not bothered about taking him long term. Would rather go year by year.
Not allowed to play in Italy!
You don't say. I can assure you I have eyes, and use them. But football is also more than just forming an opinion and reinforcing it every time you watch someone play and pay particular attention to the things that are already at the front of your mind. Which is why it is also useful to notice stuff like someone creating more scoring chances than any other player in the PL, because frankly that is not something that is possible to do unless you are very, very good.
Thanks, that's an interesting and thoughtful argument. I'll have a good think about that.
That is what I thought about Alexis!
He's got options aswell then.
He had a cardiac arrest, not a heart attack. Had he had a heart attack it wouldn’t be possible to come back because there would be reasons for that heart attack that would prevent him from performing at this level.
I agree completely with the rest.
Jamie Jackson saying he’s turned United down. Wants to stay in London with Brentford or Spurs.
Which was reported last week by some Spurs journalist. Think Jamie is bit behind on this one. Just today, Spurs tier 1 journalist has ruled Eriksen out for Spurs and said London is no longer the priority
Yeah, dunno, seems like you're right and that Jackson is getting staggered info. Although I've never considered him that reliable anyway.
This is what has been reported in last few days
Seems like nobody has any clue which team he is joining

Feck off
It’s a snippet from his article where he was discussing the narrative that we’ve been slow this Summer. Certainly not an exclusive scoop like that Tweet makes it out to be. Those aggregator accounts are just after RTs.
What does Jackson actually say?
Yeah ok pal thats why the bookies keep pulling our odds from the market right? I mean we are talking about a player who, checks notes, has been playing for us for the last few months. I know it’s hard for some fans of bigger clubs to understand and sometimes arrogance can blind opinion but logically if we were out of the running he would have told us by now. He has our offer and he is considering it he may well end up back at Spurs but at this stage he is just as likely to end up here or even at United. Nobody knows, potentially not even Eriksen himself yet….
Well as I’ve said multiple times we can offer him things United and Spurs simply can’t match and likewise United and Spurs can offer him things we could never match. All boils down to what his true priorities are in this next move. I wouldn’t arrogantly claim he is going to re-sign for us but I do know he has our offer and hasn’t rejected us (yet) which to me is a good sign. I just enjoy the narrative that it’s either Spurs or Utd and the little bus stop in Hounslow is not even in the equation
So he does say that hes ruled out United pretty much, right?
Something like “Ten Hag wanted Nunez but he chose Liverpool. Further rejection then followed with Eriksen, who prefers to be in London. The only business so far at United has been exits.” He literally just mentions it as though it’s something he’s read. As I said, nothing like an exclusive twist.
It is quite possible that Eriksen himself doesn’t know yet either so how these so-called ITKs would know is beyond me.
I think it's probably guesswork on Jamie Jackson's part; Eriksen prefers to stay in London = Eriksen has rejected United. I don't think there's anything concrete there - no one else is reporting this yet.
Maybe he called him “Sorry to interrupt your holiday……”If Jamie Jackson says something, I believes the opposite. NGL, I do that a lot.
Football journalism is a joke regarding transfer speculation. Jamie Jackson doesn’t have a clue what Eriksen has decided yet.I wouldn't take too much notice of Jamie Jackson. It's a flowery article and there's no indication of him doing anything other than regurgitating what other people have already said.
Aggregator accounts are the worst. Not at all what Jamie Jackson said.
