I didn't.What did people really expect? That we replace entire team?
Indeed....There's a lot of vipers in this team too.He's gotta be a legend killer with some of these players.
Half this summer, the other half by next.What did people really expect? That we replace entire team?
Our squad has been bloated with players who don't contribute for far too long. Those players going and 3 solid 1st choice players coming in would leave us in a much stronger position. We also have a few youth players coming through who can become involved more if we trim numbers.Not really when we should realistically remove 7-8 players from the squad - those with expiring contracts and those that are clearly not at the level we need Man Utd players to be. Jones, Bailly, Matic, Mata, Pogba, Cavani at the very least should go and that is six players that had a role this season. We will be left with a very thin team.
He has mentioned it several times, and also as a reason why players are unhappy.This. Including the players out on loan, and the younger players in the squad that will likely see more integration next year, this was always going to be a summer of more departures than signings. Didn't Rangnick comment on the size of the squad when he first got in?
We could sign a CB, two midfielders and an attacker to cover all six of those really. Maybe youngsters like Hanibal or Diallo could be part of the first team squad as well.Not really when we should realistically remove 7-8 players from the squad - those with expiring contracts and those that are clearly not at the level we need Man Utd players to be.

The "3 players" number is never really just 3 players. Usually 3 starter types. We have a decent budget for changes and it ultimately depends on who stays or goes. It makes sense number wise because our squad is overly bloated right now though.So we have at least 5 players leaving on free (6 if include Greenwood), but we will only target 3 new signings?
What a joke of a club.
Yeah, I mean haven't we got 4 goalkeepers?He has mentioned it several times, and also as a reason why players are unhappy.
Tom Brady has a squad of world class players. Even without AB Tampa are very strong. We have a squad of absolute bottlers, underperformers and players who think they are world class but their level is midtable at best.Meanwhile Glazers probably think Ronaldo is going to do a Tom Brady and take us to a title.
It means he'll have to work with 70-80% of the existing players, he won't be able to basically sign a new squad.What do they even mean by evolution?
Yeah I can’t see is signing less than 5 players but with the caveat there’ll surely be some free agents in there as well.I'm convinced we'll sign more than 3 with all the outgoings, but it won't be a revolution agree, club isn't bold enough
Evolution is a mysteryThe club are targeting Randy Orton and Batista as possible signings

Mazraoui seems a very obvious one for example.
Full of changes no one seesEvolution is a mystery
We'll 100% sign a striker, can't see Martial wanting to stay or us going into the season with only Ronaldo as the recognised number 9IN:
Defensive Midfielder
Right Back
Left CB
Right Winger
OUT:
Grant
Henderson
Jones
Matic
Lingard
Pogba
Mata
Cavani
At the beginning of this process, I believe it's about addition by subtraction. Get rid of as many as possible, and slowly start building the squad in ETH's image.
4 new faces before the start of 22/23, 1 or 2 in January, and 4 the following summer. By that time, we'd be around Ralf's number of 10 new signings, and had time to get rid of the players who would stunt their development.
Certainly more than 3, you can’t just replace 3 players at a time and expect anything to change, it’s a horrendous model.What did people really expect? That we replace entire team?
But surely we'll need more than 3 new players if the plan is to ship out 10. The squad is already short on depth in terms of ability, reducing our numbers by 7 shortens it further still.It means he'll have to work with 70-80% of the existing players, he won't be able to basically sign a new squad.
The reports from last week pointed towards ETH thinking major overhaul of the current squad wasn't needed anyway so this fits with that.
Ten Hag is going to have to be a cerebral assassin to take them out.Indeed....There's a lot of vipers in this team too.
I'd be interested to see Klopps team after his first summer and second summer. Uniteds players haven't been coached properly for years. I feel like ETH will improve a lot of our players.This just means you cant get rid of or bench certain players i.e no revolution. But you can buy a few other players. So same sht different manager
If you include the players in the sale list, then we are shipping out 10 if you include those leaving on a free (which is already 6)...But surely we'll need more than 3 new players if the plan is to ship out 10. The squad is already short on depth in terms of ability, reducing our numbers by 7 shortens it further still.
Unless we have no intention of shipping out 10 players.
and yet, people always do.......ESPN spout nonsense, wouldn't believe a word any of their journos or pundits say.
FfsThe club are targeting Randy Orton and Batista as possible signings
If he is thinking of bringing Donny back and Garner then they might just be looking at one DM. Scott and Fred taking turns rather than both of them at the same time, a striker and a CB. I would be tempted to get a RB as well. If AWB then it leaves us Dalot and Laird who has only been playing for Bournemouth recently. They have said that money, but it depends what we get in sales, plus if we can play the free agent market wisely for a change.Certainly more than 3, you can’t just replace 3 players at a time and expect anything to change, it’s a horrendous model.
Is that confirmed, I saw Bayern and Barca links but nothing concrete?Joining Bayern
