I’d love him here for a year if we could afford it.
Do we have the budget to sign Messi?

Yes, easy peasy. He pays for himself.
We can’t even buy Kieran trippier without selling first.of course not.
He’d increase our revenue by 30% I’m told.
Can we afford him? Of course we could.
Should we sign him? Probably not.
It would be cool though lets be honest.

I just feel if we sign him he turns into another Alexis Sanchez; if we dont he will go on at amazing for a few years yet.
Messichester United
Utd are happy paying players like Martial £250K a week so paying Messi £500K+ is a no brainer.
It’s tempting but it flies in the face of everything we’ve worked on for 3 years
We could afford a year only but would he come for a year?
He's been pulling the pants down of the club who made hime, and refused to take a pay cut to stay with them - if he can do that to them then he'd want more to play in Manchester.
It'll be PSG, though I would find it hilarious if Madrid suddenly pulled out all the stops...

Didnt United say over the years that they didnt operate with a budget, and if special players were to turn up in the market they would find room for them?
We'll be selling to bring our net spend down by the end of the summer. I go with no.
Alexis Sanchez was declining before he even joined us, mostly because he couldn’t be arsed anymore.
Messi is still the best player in the world.
I can't imagine Messi playing in Parc des princes. A player like him shall be adored on every matchday in the most electrifying atmosphere. He should end his career in Old Trafford, that's it, there's no other option. Footballing gods should align, Sir Alex shall make a call to Messi, Pogba should simply sign the contract and demand Messi, whole Utd squad shall speak to Ole. I mean seriously, can you guys see Messi playing at the Bridge? Etihad? How can the GOAT play in smaller leagues? How can you see him in clubs that became big overnight? He should don the shirt of a club which has some history to its name.
Yeah been thinking of this. Is it even a factor for the club, signing Ronaldo's eternal rival? I think the relationship has dwindled enough over the years that it isn't factor, but still very much is for the fans.
In any evident, as much as I would love it simply because we would be able to say we had the 2 greatest footballers of this generation at least, at our club, would be cool.
Football wise and whether it will be beneficial, yeah don't know about that.

Fecking hell my eyes. I know this must have looked all prim and proper on your screen, but I assure you, it's fecking painful to look at.
Not the team though, that's just pure sex. But yeah, no don't do that.
I Tarzan, you Jane?
On one hand we've done a lot of good work to get bad wages off the books under Ole and harmonise the squad, this could be at risk with a signing like this.
On the other we're talking about the greatest player to have ever played the game. We'd immediately be in contention to win the biggest prizes
Football is about moments and memories. Despite being in the tail end of his career this guy still creates magic like no one else.
I would absolutely love to see him in our shirt, it would be extraordinary
He's off to psg though, we all no it

Thats why we'll be buying neves aswell
I've admittedly only been to Parc des Princes once, but the atmosphere was amazing. I was pleasantly surprised.
Forget about whether we can afford it. Do you think its even a conversation that is being had at United? Which clubs would be considering it? He would be worth every penny of £100 million.
Not winning trophies?
Uturn here, why the feck would we want Messi, when we got fecking Messe Lingod.
Close thread.

Not happening. This is another summer like Mourinho's last one. Two quick transfers (for Utd, at least) and then absolute speculation and press manipulation until the end of the window to end up with nothing and not even selling anyone. I wouldn't be surprised if that's the year we last extended Mata.Thats why we'll be buying neves aswell
If we hadn't signed Sancho I'd be all for this.
Not signing elderly players based on prior reputation and upsetting the dressing room with huge wages
I doubt anyone will get upset about Messi getting paid more (or even a lot more) in the dressing room, when De Gea is on £375,000/week
he will win his 7th Ballon d Or at the end of the year.
We don't have the budget to sign Trippier.
I've only been to few Ligue 2 games and one Ligue1 game. From my observation, In France, there will be supporters stand with a few guys to orchestrate the chants and the rest of the crowd follow them, from a guy who grew up watching PL on TV, this is a major turn-off for me. Don't forget that OT has 30K more seating than Parc des Prices. I just want Messi to play for a club that has a large fan base and history. Not the clubs which pumped in money, broke FFP rules, and got banned for few windows. Hate to say this but only Anfield comes next to OT.
Pogba+DDG=35M a year wages but Messi is on 120M per year at Barca, can we match even 100M per year?
i want him no where near this club, not cause he's won't be brilliant but because he represents everything we are trying to move away from by giving over aged players obscene contracts, we should focus on a DM.
Do the Glazers view this as United's Tom Brady? Let it happen!
To be the only club to have had both Messi & Ronaldo play for it would be quite special.
I'm not sure I trust a player like Lindelöf who neither orders sides or starters. Completely indefensible.
If he accepts the same wages that Pogba is on in place of Pogba, sure.
Can play upfront and will bring a tremendous amount out of players like Rashford and Greenwood around him.
He's held Barca together. Imagine what he'd do here.

I'm willing to make a exception fom a player who has problems finding space for all his Ballon D'or awards
