Good signing. We have lacked a genuine winger for years.
Excactly, we've missed out on a few shrewd signings recently so if this goes through I'm happy to see us take the gamble. It's a low risk signing.

£15m on a young up-and-comer shouldn’t affect our business this summer one bit really.
What about Mane?Well - I was laughing about Ricky Lambert - not Virgil van Dijk
- British
- Good age
- His game is very direct and plenty of pace
- Comfortable with both feet
- £15m

Media has been saying there is more likely to be five signings.
Our scouts don't really have a good track record, in fairness.
Yes because City and Liverpool have good recent histories in terms of signings. There's a reason for it. United's scouts trying to unearth the hidden gems doesn't exactly inspire confidence given the amount of crap they've managed to fill the squad with.
How about we don’t spend it.
Offers what? Speed? If that’s the case just play Chong. Just reminds me of all the crap Fergie was buying at then of his reign like Nick Powell.
This is exactly the type of signing we should be making.
Hope we get this over the line

Runs a bit like Bale
If we sign him then our right side looks very good for the future with him a Dalot imo.

No-one really has a clue how many, if certain players are available at the right price, they’ll be bought.
Tbh we don't actually have oneAnother left winger
Don't see why everyones getting their arse out about this potential signing, i'm sick of us going out and wasting 50+ on some random european prospect that turns out to be shite, or even worse some even more expensive established player who turns out to be shite. The kid is British, got bags of pace and looks comfortable on the ball, and if he signs for man united, despite how shit we are this season its a big step up and hes going to be keen to impress, even if it is off the bench. For the rumoured price its a bargain.
4 goals in 33 games. Not so good for attacking player. I like his speed though
For sure. But the number five popped up in a few articles around the same time. Obviously, if we do end up with some high profile departures like De Gea, that number could rise.
That should put an end to the negative ones and make them suddenly shift to meltdown mode if Spurs or Liverpool sweep in
I reckon we might look to bring more than one player in. Crazy, I know.
We definitely need someone to challenge Martial.Another left winger
At least we know hes an unknown talent and he can be either really good or pretty shite. Unlike the Dalot hype where most people were convinced he's going to be great.
Dalot looks superb, gonna be a great player for us.

Interesting.
Watched him play live a few times. He's talented and has fantastic acceleration but has so much to learn - doesn't always use his pace in the best way he can and good experienced full-backs can read him. Personally think he will end up being more West Ham, Everton level but for that price I think he's worth a punt.
Never seen him play but sounds fun, low cost, potential must be there surely, happy if we land him.
Sort of like the time when Liverpool kicked off their revolution and signed Downing and Pennant.
At that price, why the hell not?
Worst case he turns out to be a mid-level PL player and we make a profit on him anyway.

So is he right or left footed, or is he arguably ambidextrous? Sites differ on this. Presume he's not another inside left.
They signed those two to go direct into the first team.
Is four enough? It really depends on who stays and who goes but actually we probably need more since our squad don't really have depth. Maybe four is a number that's been thrown out but if it was 6/7/8? They wouldn't tell you. Because it's one thing saying what you need, it's another getting what you need and dealing with the expectation. So even if he comes in, it don't mean we're down to 3 players.
But you never know how a player will do. If he's got heart and fair technique? That's more then some have shown here this past season. We don't know. Our squad needs probably 5/6 maybe even more players - if we sell. Especially if we seel Lukaku for example.
Exactly, I remember how pissed off fans were that we missed out on Bale and Ramsey too.
Looks like he is naturally right footed (he dribbles primarily with his right) but is happy to stay wide and cross with his left.
The biggest risk with this is that once again we're left without an established player in a position. Hopefully he's not this years Dalot and in 6months time people aren't telling me "What can Ole do his only options are Mata and James and he's not ready"
oh yes! very happy with this possible signing in terms of what type of signings I would personally like to see: UK players, young, ambitious, hard working. I think this may fix the dressing room in the future in terms of ambition and workrate.
I personally hope we can add Wan-Bissaka, Declan Rice, Kieran Tierney and maybe James Maddison in the summer. The only oversees transfer I would do is Sancho and a top top Centreback if the opportunity arises.

I have doubt on this kinds of signing. Would be a non story if he's not English
