This would be a massive signing. Strong on and off the ball and the right age.
After Sancho this guy should be thr priority.

Zakaria is a tricky one. If we managed to get this guy, we would essentially be getting someone in the mould of a Fernandinho who would be our DM but could also fill in at CB when either Maguire or Lindelof isn't available. That way we wouldn't need to spend on a CB for a couple years with Tuanzebe and Bailly also being available. We could also sell Smalling and use that money towards acquiring Zakaria. He would offer McTominay competition to lift each other's games and phase Matic slowly out. How much is he being quoted for?Watching Zakaria against Dortmund. He's playing centre back/sweeper.
I guess if we got him, Sancho & Grealish for next season, the lineup will be something along the lines of the following:
Zakaria Fred
Sancho Bruno Grealish
Rashford
Rashford isn't a no 9I guess if we got him, Sancho & Grealish for next season, the lineup will be something along the lines of the following:
Zakaria Fred
Sancho Bruno Grealish
Rashford
Was he planning good? I was watching Spurs.How bad is the injury? Got taken off after Sommer fecked up his knee
What am I missing? I haven’t read any report of an injuryWas he planning good? I was watching Spurs.
Well just checked he wasn’t in the squad. So maybe he was injured before hand.What am I missing? I haven’t read any report of an injury
This is why I don't think we need Grealish. Shoehorning Rashford into the striker position when he has already proven he's not good enough there and how good he is on the left with a better endproduct than Grealish. How about putting Rashford back on the left and using the money for Grealish(60m maybe) to get a strikerI guess if we got him, Sancho & Grealish for next season, the lineup will be something along the lines of the following:
Zakaria Fred
Sancho Bruno Grealish
Rashford
Went off injured with pain to his knee, could barely walk alone. But not that bad apparently. Should be back in a couple of weeksWhat am I missing? I haven’t read any report of an injury
History or money ?Between us and Bayern Munich? Eek!
I think there are three things that are nailed down as long as Ole is our manager and they are as follows:I guess if we got him, Sancho & Grealish for next season, the lineup will be something along the lines of the following:
Zakaria Fred
Sancho Bruno Grealish

Or stability with a culture he’s familiar with, guaranteed UCL place every seasonHistory or money ?
? Both clubs have history and money.History or money ?
Just like Villa and Leeds have history too.? Both clubs have history and money.
He's citing Sky Germany as the original source who say United are leading the chase for his signature. Bild also reported in the last few days that United and Bayern are leading the chase for him.I see Jeremy Cross is linking him to us in tomorrow's papers, only trouble is the paper he works for is the very unreliable Daily Star but at least a UK journo is mentioning him which is a positive sign
I really don't know what kind of point you're trying to make tbh.Just like Villa and Leeds have history too.
How many do you think we will bring in this summer just out of interest, personally my gut feeling is 3 and could see the players being Sancho, Grealish (if Pogba leaves) and either a proper DM or Ighalo on a permanent deal.He's citing Sky Germany as the original source who say United are leading the chase for his signature.

Would be a fantastic signing and would be brilliant in the first phase of the build up and a very smart/intelligent player tactically that is blessed physically and has pace to burn.
I think if we bring in Ighalo on a permanent deal he won't be considered one of the three. I mean the dream (although I'm only taking it on the basis of what everyone on here is writing) is Sancho, Grealish, Zakaria, and Bellingham.How many do you think we will bring in this summer just out of interest, personally my gut feeling is 3 and could see the players being Sancho, Grealish (if Pogba leaves) and either a proper DM or Ighalo on a permanent deal.
I'm thinking 3 too. And I'd be more than happy with 3 new recruits. Sancho, Zakaria, Grealish/Konate.How many do you think we will bring in this summer just out of interest, personally my gut feeling is 3 and could see the players being Sancho, Grealish (if Pogba leaves) and either a proper DM or Ighalo on a permanent deal.
Not a fan of dembele personally, but that is the makings of one hell of a team. Even with Pogba leaving we'd have (for once) some strength in depth across the whole 11.This is why I don't think we need Grealish. Shoehorning Rashford into the striker position when he has already proven he's not good enough there and how good he is on the left with a better endproduct than Grealish.

......... .... Fred......... Zakaria. ...........
Sancho.......... Bruno......... Rashford
................Werner/Dembele...........
This. Swap dembele from the above lineup for Martial with Konate at CB and we're in business.I'm thinking 3 too. And I'd be more than happy with 3 new recruits. Sancho, Zakaria, Grealish/Konate.
I was just being sarcastic about that history vs money post. It was referring to Sanchez transfer between us and the City.I really don't know what kind of point you're trying to make tbh.
History?History or money ?
7 yrs in limbo and counting (maybe).History?
If we get him we have clearly turned a corner, it looks like we are finally learning..Tweet

Promising young DM who's impressed in Germany this season, would be a shrewd summer signing as Matic's long term replacement.
The fact that a smartly ran club like Bayern are sniffing around him is telling
Fred and Zakaria in the '2' of the 4231 with Bruno and the advanced role would be a quality and balanced midfield.Tweet

In Limbo we won the Europa League, FA cup and League cup. Not bad.7 yrs in limbo and counting (maybe).
No. It is the transfer forum, but it is posted by a fella called United Academy.Should this be in the Academy section?
