Not another fragile Dortmund player, please. I'd rather we go for Timo Werner or someone of that ilk
So as me. I was excited to see we are up to Pulisic purchase until realize whose report it.I wanted to believe this then I read the reporter's name.
I dont think it's a Dortmund curse just that the two players we've bought from them were two players that had the sides built around them and going from that to being shoehorned into a position with us has been the difference (well that along with all the other usual factors)Not another fragile Dortmund player, please. I'd rather we go for Timo Werner or someone of that ilk
Same.I wanted to believe this then I read the reporter's name.
Imagine the US marketing possibilities!
I have little doubt that we will be signing him at some point in the future for precisely these reasons.I think it will be Woodward's signings for market commercial reasons, not Mourinho.
Oh god, feel old when a footballers recollection of watching United as a youngster is Rooney.He was a big United fan as well. Our largest fan base on US finally got us something back. We got lot of fans around the world but always dominated by Madrid and Barcelona of South America players.
Pulisic admits he supported Liverpool’s big rivals Manchester United growing up.
“I was a big Manchester United fan when I was younger, so I loved to watch Wayne Rooney,” he told ESPNFC.
He's progressing well and will continue to do so at Dortmund, being only 19, so I can understand why we'd like to let him continue to do so until the time is right. I guess we are just prepared to move on him if someone else does, even if that means getting him in earlier than we thought. This is too good of an opportunity for United and the Glazers to pass up, for sure.Sounds like we want to wait another season but will make a move if someone else tries, like what we did with Jones and Martial and I'm pretty sure this was the case with Rooney as well, we would have waited a bit longer had Newcastle not made a move..
We should, even though he's only 19, he's a better overall player than both Mata and Mkhi at this stage of their careers, he's faster, he's better in tight spots against pressing teams, more effective in 1 v 1 situations, great crosser and finisher, and much more mentally tough than Mkhi. Mata is tough as nails and still has many other great attributes, but simply doesn't have the speed or quickness to keep up with the rest of the team. CP also has some leadership intangibles that would fit in nicely at United.No if there's any chances he's available we'll compete for his signature.
Ed is being a giddy bastard today for sure.How many players have we been linked to today?
Good idea hence the article @KM posted that we won't go for him unless one of our rivals does.Pulisic is a must. We could build our team around him and Pogba and give Pulisic the No. 10 shirt. Although I think that we should have a deal in place and have him play in Dortmund for another 2 years on loan.
Or it 'might' be significant..de bruyne was a liverpool fan and his favourite player was owen when he was a kid
him being a childhood united fan might not be all that...
What incentive would Dortmund have to sell him to us now and keep him for two years? They have a genuine future star, and who knows where prices would be if they sold him in two years?Pulisic is a must. We could build our team around him and Pogba and give Pulisic the No. 10 shirt.

He’ll be out of contract in 2020, so they’ll be selling him before then.What incentive would Dortmund have to sell him to us now and keep him for two years? They have a genuine future star, and who knows where prices would be if they sold him in two years?
It’s also a risk for us to pay massive money today for a player we won’t have for another two years. We might not even want him in two years!
This is the only summer they'll get a massive fee for him if that's the case, if he doesn't sign a new contract that is. Depending on if clubs have sounded out his advisors already about a future transfer, I can't see him signing a new deal. I think the player will see the PL too good to turn down, it'd be the ultimate showcase for him to show his talents.He’ll be out of contract in 2020, so they’ll be selling him before then.
This kid has to be the new Number 7, without a doubt, he can become a star that nails down this position and this number for nearly 15 years.Pulisic is a must. We could build our team around him and Pogba and give Pulisic the No. 10 shirt. Although I think that we should have a deal in place and have him play in Dortmund for another 2 years on loan.
Were Lfc ever in for KDB?de bruyne was a liverpool fan and his favourite player was owen when he was a kid
him being a childhood united fan might not be all that...
It’s better for our prospects than him supporting another team as a kid.de bruyne was a liverpool fan and his favourite player was owen when he was a kid
him being a childhood united fan might not be all that...
He can pull a Dembele after all.He’ll be out of contract in 2020, so they’ll be selling him before then.
Pulisic is a level above those two. He's going to be a great playerNot another fragile Dortmund player, please. I'd rather we go for Timo Werner or someone of that ilk
I don't quite understand how you can just stop being a fan? It doesn't make any sense to me.He was a big United fan as well. Our largest fan base on US finally got us something back. We got lot of fans around the world but always dominated by Madrid and Barcelona of South America players.

“I was a big Manchester United fan when I was younger, so I loved to watch Wayne Rooney,” he told ESPNFC.
He's a Dortmund fan now. Joined them as a kid. Learned a new language, new culture. It's covered in the doco about him.I don't quite understand how you can just stop being a fan? It doesn't make any sense to me.
Think it’s a joke tbh.Wait what? Is he saying hes coming to United?
He feels American apparently. He even pronounces his last name with a k I believe. Which is bit weird but I guess it makes sense if you live in the states.His grandad was born in Croatia. Had a chance to play for our NT but refused. A shame.
He's also in the top 10 in attempts and 2nd in Germany in successful dribbles.was really bad this first half of the season. had the most unsucessful dribbles in Europe. just like Julian Weigl, Tuchels System made him look very good and both struggled in Boszs system, but that´s normal for young players. curious to see how they are doing in the Rückrunde.
Yeah he's 2nd generation American so it's not strange although on the other hand some opt for the country of their grandparents.He feels American apparently. He even pronounces his last name with a k I believe. Which is bit weird but I guess it makes sense if you live in the states.
De Bruyne grew up and realized life has choices - he chose wrong, but he was right in ditching Liverpool at least.de bruyne was a liverpool fan and his favourite player was owen when he was a kid
him being a childhood united fan might not be all that...
