Been linked with about a thousand players. Nothing will be in this. We can’t even afford his right boot. On the other hand there’s always El Ghazi who is a free transfer :lol: We’re becoming a laughing stock if we even try to sign him.

Hes the closest we got to peak Ryan Giggs. The ability to drive the ball forward in tight space is something we've been lacking of since Martial forms fell off the cliff. Is he worth 150m? well for comparison Massimo Morrati was willing to pay whatever it take to bring Giggs to Giuseppe Meazza in early 2000. Thats how expensive world class wingers were/are. Honestly I'd gladly sold Rashford for 100m and buy him, but then we already have Garnacho waiting on the wing.
You would rather sell one of our own academy players? For someone that might and probably won’t work out here… we’ve signed lots of expensive players and I don’t really know which ones have been a huge success… at least with Rashford we know that he’ll at least try and give 100% with him being a fan and grew up at the club.

Manchester Utd never lose, just run out of time

It'd be nice if we did get from Rashford. He's generally the laziest player on the pitch most weeks. :(

Funny he's been criticized as a one season wonder and scored no goals since around March. If people critique Rashford for consistency than I wonder the opinions of kvaratskheila.

How can he be criticized as a one season wonder when the next one after his breakthrough is only just starting?

Exciting player with great potential, but seems a bit inconsistent at the moment, although it's to be expected for a player his age. He didn't really do much in the final part of last season after a brilliant start, and Rudi Garcia isn't using Kvaratskhelia as much as Spalletti so far this season. I think Rafael Leao is the more talented and better player and if we're going for a left winger, then it should be him, in my opinion.
he had some niggling injury issues throughout August, the Georgia games are the first full 90 minutes he's played. He didn't look fit against Norway to me.

One of the few wide players i think can do. And i have seen him play as RW for his previous club before he joined Napoli. Beside Federico Chiesa.

Both players can do a really good job both as RW and LW. Why?

Reasons why :

+ High end product
+ Direct. Both of them know they are really quick in the first metres with the ball = top acceleration and explosiveness. So no fancy skills and tricks here. It's all about the speed pedal on the bottom. Even though. They are really good dribblers too.
But if you are super quick and eplosive in the first metres? Why not use it?
+ Consistent. Both mentality and skill
+ Good finishing skill/end product. And good to set up others too.


But i just suggest United and Ten Hag shall drop the wingers to go for 4312 formation. That can be the alternative formation. Like this:


Amrabat/Eriksen/McTom - Casemiro/Amrabat - Mount/DVB +

CAM = Bruno/Eriksen/Sancho

Højlund/Kvicha - Rashford/Kvicha/Garnacho


But again. I did scout and observed Kvicha as RW. Both for club and nation team. He always want to beat players. And he was really hard to handle. Super quick and really good ball control in small area.


So i do agreee with those who said. Kind of top quality signing your team shall aim. If you want to reach the top in the league and end up by winning the league.

Players with consistent high end product = big big potential matchwinner and goalscorer players

Agreed. It's odd, I mean, are people really criticising him this season already? He's played in two games. Two. A total of 95 minutes for Napoli. What were people expecting to happen in the equivalent time of one single game's minutes? And he has an assist already at that.

As for Kvara's drop of productivity in the last couple of months, that's easily accounted for. Napoli won the league with 16 points difference. The team coasted it in the last month. The team was more complacent overall. Even Osimhen's rate of scoring decreased a little in the run-in of the season.

There's this weird thing about heaping unconditional praise on Osimhen (because he's a striker and as long as you're scoring what else matters) and showing different standards to criticising Kvara. Last season:

Osimhen played 39 games, scored 31 goals and registered 5 assists. 36 G/A's.
Kvara played 43 games, scored 14 goals and registered 17 assists. 31 G/A's.

Osimhen's scoring almost doubled from the season before just becuase Kvara was so influential last season, and it's Kvaratskhelia busting his ass off pressing, chasing, dribbling, covering, tracking, defending as well as being a creative and scoring outlet too. A lot of folks go nuts about Osimhen for Napoli's title win, but that doesn't happen without what Kvara did last season.

Two footed
elite dribbler
double figures in both G+A last season.

This guy would be a great signing. I imagine Napoli would demand a fortune unless we give them Antony and Sancho as a swap deal :lol:

don't give a shit which side of the pitch he's comfortable on....if you have a snowballs chance in hell of signing him, you fecking try. He'd be the best 1v1 player/winger we've had since when ronaldo was in his prime years at United.

That would be Nani

A 1-season wonder, specialist left winger, and ridiculously overpriced?

Just up our alley. He's absolutely not who we should be signing though.

Only 22 years old though, dribbles like George Best, 14 goals 16 assists last season.

I’ve no idea what games you’re watching if you think Rashford tries and gives 100% for the club. Even 50% would be laughable.

Top goal scorer last season…. We could spend 100m on this winger and he turns into a bag of shite just like the majority of our signings do. We break players. The days of making them are long gone since Ronaldo.

don't get me wrong, Nani was class at times and clearly overshadowed by Ronaldo....Khvicha is just different level right now

I could just counter that video quite easily with a compilation of Nani. What particular moment in that video do you think is extremely impressive? Nani was playing against top defenders in Premier League, while Kvaratskhelia is playing against mediocre defenders from Serie A. There is quite a big difference. Kvaratskhelia is a huge talent, but right now he's not even close to Nani's peak.

Nani had two good seasons at United....2010-2012 statistically which made up 90% of his goals and assists.

So you gonna conveniently forget about Rashford’s effort where he doesn’t track back and backs out of any 50/50. Happened already few times this season.

And can you guarantee that the Napoli winger will do better? Watching YouTube vids of him doesn’t count.

That's why I said his prime. His prime is a higher level than current Kvaratskhelia. Whether Kvara becomes better remains to be seen, but so far he's only had one good season and he's almost 23.

We really need someone on the wings to start racking up assists, we have nobody in the squad that can do that.
Potentially Sancho was that style of player, but we all know how that's gong atm.
Rashford goals keep him in the team, but he's been really poor outside of the goals.​

World class potential. He should go somewhere he has a chance to fulfill it, which is not here. And besides, we don't need a LW, and Napoli will want a record-breaking fee.

The point was about his effort, not his quality. He’s a game changer when he’s playing at his best, which unfortunately for us is not very often because he’s really damn good when he can be bothered.

How can anyone watch him and say he’s willinng to do anything for the club when on the pitch his usual behaviour is to walk about and acting like he wishes he was anywhere but on the pitch.

No way! Serie A is the league I watch the most. Leao is almost unstoppable when he wants to be, but he's way more inconsistent than Kvara. The only thing Leao has over him is speed. Kvara has better ball control (better dribbling in tight spaces), better shot technique, better passing, better vision, better decision making skill, better on and off ball movement. Also he can press and has great mentality, always striving to improve. Leao has the talent but doesn't have the right attitude, he's a spoiled lazy brat with low football IQ and space awareness.

You're just showing your bias.

Kvaratskhelia goes 15 games without scoring or assisting and not particularly standing out and Leao is the more inconsistent one? You're talking about Leao as if this is two or three years ago. He is much more refined and consistent now. He has grown a lot in these years and shown massive progress. Already started the season brilliantly too.

You should watch Kvara for more than a year before claiming he's at Leao's level. He is much more hard working and presses more, I'll give you that.

Leao is the better dribbler, quicker and stronger. All of these together in PL will give you a much bigger advantage than Kvara would have, and would translate to PL more easily.

The people crying to “upgrade” Rashford for Kvaratskhelia are exactly the type who I’m sure would cope really well with a 6+ months (21-games-and-counting) goal drought for club and country. Just one assist in that time too.
