Everyone is up for sale (again)

Can we sell ETH's player to Leverkusen? He can take back Onana, Hojlund, Martinez, Mount, Malacia, Antony.
 
3 gone already, then we got Rashford ,Sancho, Antony, Malacia.. hopefully £100 million for that lot or there abouts.. spent £62 already on Cunha, that leaves not a lot If we get Delap £30 that's it all gone, I'm hoping they can squeeze another £50 million get Mbweno.. look for the odd free transfer maybe..
 
To everyone

I’m a huge fan of Bruno Fernandes and I love Bruno, and I will be heartbroken if Bruno leaves and I have to pic a new man for my member card for the team and this won’t be easy for me, because I stand with Bruno Fernandes and he should stay on the team.

I think he will end up staying
 
It’s obviously still very early days but aside from the obvious names- Antony, Rashford, Garnacho, Sancho- I do wonder how ruthless we’ll be after two dismal seasons and how much will change beyond the forward line. There have to be question marks about the likes of Onana, Bayindir, Shaw, Mount, Casemiro, Dalot. i’m not saying all those players are bad or all should be sold but you’d expect the club to be evaluating them.

The club can be as ruthless as they want. Yet there are no indications that we can sell any of the ones you mentioned, apart from Bayindir and Dalot.

We have a ton of bad players, that no club would consider, or if they did, they'd never offer a contract to entice said players to move. Can you imagine any club, apart from maybe the Saudi League that'd consider Onana as a transfer target, after the last two seasons?
 
Sadly, I can't imagine any top flight club from the big leagues would want Onana as their No. 1.
 
Not onr sale so far makes me worried. Plus all rumours are about loans. It is early but there should be some movement about players who we want to sell.

Yeah Onana is pretty much a Saudi only sale, same with Casemiro . I think Shaw could attract some interest from Italy but they’d have to take a chance on his fitness and I imagine it would be a low fee.

Obviously you factor in the manager change and the system tweak but it’s interesting that, of the players linked to be leaving, only Garnacho really played any significant part of the season as a whole.
 
With Cunha already on board, Mbuemo possibly next, and then a striker...theoretically that moves Amad to RWB permanently. Does that make Dalot surplus to requirements? Would you play him in a back 3 over Mazraoui? I'd think he could get a decent return from someone...

Dalot is great for the squad, can play on both sides and offers a more defensive option when needed.

Dalot is one of very few players who potentially we can make some money on.

We need squad depth, he’s got got good fitness levels and is mostly available. He can play multiple roles.

I wouldn’t assume Amad makes WB a perm move. Other players would need to settle, and he could well outperform them.

This is definitely a case of evaluate in a years time.

As much as Dalot is limited and not what we need long term - in this window he stays.

Think of all the players who have to leave before him: Anthony/Rashford/Onana/Casemiro/Sancho/Garnacho. That's a lot of work, while future's of Bayinder/Shaw/Hojlund/Collyer remain clouded. Dalot stay's purely due to us being overwhelmed with outgoings this year

He's reliable and half decent. He's lucky cos there is so much work to do elsewhere that he'll stay

I would never play him RCB though - absolutely not good enough, hasn't got the footballing brain to do it and Maz/Yoro are better.

Dalot is an odd one - like the modern day O'Shea - versatile, distinctly average at a couple of positions and always available. Just reeks of "he'll do" rather than "he's a great player" Will he ever be a nailed on elite level player? No. Handy to have around for now

I suppose and if he's willing to accept being a squad player this coming season, then so be it. You're right, he's bang average. Doesn't kill us but also doesn't really do much and in this system, he's locked into wing back only...and we have better players there.
 
I picture United as this booth at a market with a lot of stuff but everyone just walks by and show zero interest. The salesman just sitting their watching his phone…
 
Honestly, from every other club's perspective, why woudn't they just wait to buy any of our want-a-ways?

The closer we get to the end of the window, the more we desperately need funds to purchase players we desperately need to make our first team squad not terrible. Everyone knows this. Agents, other teams, the media etc. Our public falling out with Rashford and Garnacho in particular mean there is absolutely no pressure on teams looking to buy them - they WILL be available.

I'll never understand our club's inability to play the game. What should be happening is we should be getting stories of how impressed the United hierarchy are with Rashford's fitness regime. We SHOULD be leaking that given the prices of other CFs, Amorim and INEOS have analysed Marcus' time at Villa alongside his good finishing metrics and are going to put him up front. Similarly, we SHOULD be seeding stories that Garnacho and Amorim have had great discussions, with Garna now appreciating the tough love because Amorim has explained that he only gives that to players he believes could one day be top 3 in the world at their position, and his belief in Garna is so strong that nothing could prise him away this summer. Antony? We should be briefing that the club barely know what to do with the number of offers received, and the real question is just about where Antony and his family most want to settle, given the host of options.

Instead we're doing the opposite. It's honestly mind-boggling how bad we are. We are the worst club in the world at selling players. I don't think that's an exaggeration.

The base salaries at Manchester United are too high for the wast majority of clubs in Europe to bother contending with, and the clubs that do have that kind of pull are generally not on the market for failed players.

Very very few professional footballers want to leave money on the table "just to play". The megastars can because they are rich enough already, but your run of the mill squad player on 120k a week? He is not downgrading to 50k a week in a different country.
 
I think it's a huge reality check for those who believe that there was a top player in Rashy, Sancho and Garnacho. There was a time that people suggested they are doing us a favour staying with us

It’s the Adnan syndrome. The squad is so shit that people can’t recognise quality players anymore.

Rashford and Garnacho are both players who rely on their pace and have middling technique.

Sancho has no drive. His career aspiration is probably to have himself on FIFA and he doesn’t care what happens as long as he’s paid.
