Sign this motherfecker up. He’s quite good.
Playing a blinder tonight. Looks like absolutely everything we need.
His price is going up a few million tonight, he's looked absolute quality against Atletico
Like VVD I fear this is an obvious transfer that we will see our rivals complete instead of us.
He is top quality - only 21? Forget Koubillay.....
Is this his normal level?
If so, any club that needs a defender (i.e City /Chelsea /US) that doesn't go for him are complete loons

I've always preferred him and his style over Konate, though the latter is generally rated higher.
He just signed a new deal with a release clause of 42 million next summer. We also tried to sign him when he was 16 so you would imagine (a) we know all about him and like him (b) he might not be that interested If there are other big clubs knocking around. He’s very good!
This game will start a bidding war.
How much this summer?
Excpet AWB, Fred that is a good time.
Sign him please and put Lindelof on the bench. Please.
Him and Sancho will Woodward's £150m loan
He's been immense. Looks like the complete CB.
I know it was bit OTT but we could have got better options than Maguire for 80m.
I’d imagine the new contract was so he wouldn’t leave this summer for any price. There was info online he was available for under 50 million so around the same it seems. @Adnan is your man for info on these guys.
This game? He’s having a fantastic season tbf. €42m release clause can be activated next year. Some big clubs will be all over it. Hope we are too!
For sure, he looks absolutely dominant. What a player.
So is anyone going to say something about him being caught out in the build up to the penalty for AM?? No doubt he's a talented, but still has a lot to learn and improve on like defending and reading/anticipating.
Agreed at the cost of risking the wrath of the Upamecanites
@Adnan has been high on him for a long, long time now. Games like this certainly take him up a level because he looks world class out there against a team who are seen as proper CL contenders.
Of course he’s got a lot to learn, he’s 21.
Not sure he’s what he need, as we need an experienced CB to partner Maguire, rather than a talented youngster.
Would be a risky signing, but if he fulfils his potential, would be a risk worth taking.
Mad that neither him or Laporte have been capped yet.
He has bee the best player on the pitch by a mile. Different level. What a prospect.
What a player and what an investment he would be. Should be our main target, exactly what we need
In 3 years over 200 days injured.. It's something to think about.
United are in a precarious situation where if you throw in a young CB, no matter how talented, he's going to have growing pains and mistakes in him. I'm all for letting young players mature, but it's a huge risk you do take and you see why teams don't always integrate young players straight into their first XI or primary rotation. It's why Bellingham not coming to United right now made complete sense, it's why Greenwood not starting so much in the league until the restart was correct, etc.
Every transfer has risk obviously, but this guy has at least two big transfers ahead of him. It's really up to him on where he wants to go if multiple teams activate his release clause.
But aside from his physical makeup, nobody really knows how he is mentally, emotionally, and what type of personal/character he is and how that would adapt to Manchester United. RB Leipzig are perennial underdogs under the shadows of Bayern and Dortmund. It's a different animal at United, even if they haven't been in the CL consistently, let alone actually challenging for the league. The intensity, demand, pressure from within the club and outside of the club go up levels, more than in Germany (excluding Bayern).
I know but doing it in a CL quarter is different. This is what the big clubs are looking for.
Don’t understand why we did not trigger his release clause this summer. He was looking to leave, hope we are targeting him for next summer
This is an example as to why people say I’m hard on Axel. When I see this sort of standard, from a younger player - this is the bar I demand from our own equivalent. Otherwise, why wouldn’t I want us to sign Upamecano and move Axel on? It’s not like Upamecano plays for Madrid and is unattainable. I’m not into just happily advocating a lower standard because a player is from our academy, under some sort of ‘every player can’t be *insert top level player* level’ position.
Where we can, we have to try and get the best. Random rambling I know, but watching tonight just highlighted the point to me. Axel looks alright, but not THIS good.

If he was looking to leave he wouldn't have signed an extension so early on in the window.
He looks great.
Are you sure? I've only seen him constantly say that Konate is better than Upamecano.
Looks like a monster of CB. Has it all (speed, technique, physique).
I want him. I want him bad
I don't think any other young centre back in the world looks this good.
A useful perspective for those who aren't sure: Would you like Liverpool to pair him with Virgil? Upamecano is the real deal.
Around 54m pounds but expired due to signed new contract. He has new release clause lower but only active next summer.
So people shouldn't bump this thread and hoping we will sign this guy this summer, because unlike Sancho, Dayot is to be guaranteed staying.
He is the one . Go get him Ed
