This would actually be a brilliant window for United. But don't see hoe United could afford it as De Ligt would cost around £100m anf Frenkie £65-70m. Unless you can sell of Maguire or Lindeloff for like £30m I don't see how United would afford those two.
Yes, goes a hell of a long way to solving 2 problem situations.
This would be the point where I give up on this club. If we can't identify any targets that would improve us beyond the most obvious ones, there is no hope for this club.
Who would of thought the day we paraded him around old Trafford we would be thinking like this.
Yes I will be quite happy, even with just De Jong. I can tell you that if that social media was active during 95/96 season, most of them would be cursing and swearing at Ferguson for promoting youth and they would have predicted United to finish in 6th. This is why we should always let the manager do the assessment instead of us saying who should be signed and who should play.
Out of all the shite we've had to sit through over the last 8 or 9 years, you'd choose the unveiling of Frenkie De Jong and de Ligt as the point where you jack it all in?
Only 6'2 even... he could play the role of a dwarf in a Snow White but a premier league centre back? Too short. Who cares that he is taller than Ruben Dias for example
Personally, I'd probably say yes.
I'm only thinking in terms of player that Juve would want and appropriate value of said player to bridge the financial gap.Who would of thought the day we paraded him around old Trafford we would be thinking like this.
it would make perfect sense for us anyway.
Whats it with Man Utd fans thinking they can use their garbage for the players that they are targeting? Why in the fkin world would Juventus be interested in Maguire? And if they would be, United would still havd to pay a massive amount along with it. The same with United fans thinking Ajax would be interested in United youthplayers for loan in return for Ajax's stars.. ffs get over yourself. Selling clubs want cold hard cash, not your rejects or youth players on loan.
He looked class for Ajax but no way would I be happy with him as a marquee signing for a load of money that prevented us from getting a better player in a more important position. I think it makes to do that with de Jong because it’s a critical position we haven’t addressed in years, not another expensive CB.
Did you consider, that maybe, just for a second that the guy was joking?Whats it with Man Utd fans thinking they can use their garbage for the players that they are targeting?

Buy him and then move him into a fortress so he can't be burgled
Only if those two remain the only additions. They wouldn't be enough to get us even back in the top 4.
With the right training from ETH and co - we might. We might actually play properly again.
Maybe something like Big Yellow storage? I think they are quite safe.
I did but it wasnt clear. Obviously I didn't think hed be talking about a straight swap, but nevertheless its quite a tendency here that people mention Uniteds leftovers as possible medium of exchange. It's quite arrogant to think that these clubs are really waiting for your leftovers in exchange and then expect that this will significantly lower the price.Did you consider, that maybe, just for a second that the guy was joking?
Leave Donny Van De Beek out of this please.......
You'll be telling me we can't factor in Pereira to the DJ deal next.
You know we'd sign him and still never score from a corner
Phil Jones doesnt really play football anymore but if Phil Jones wouldnt have been injured for most of his career he would likely be the Manchester United captain and Harry Maguire would hopefully still be playing at Leicester. Phil Jones wasnt a bad player so a better Phil Jones isnt a bad thing. Phil Jones sure had the potential to be a good central defender. Injuries ruined his body and the lack of games ensured that he never got the experience to get the flaws/brainfarts out of his game.
De ligt hasn't been a flop at all, he's basically their first choice cb at this point and still only 22, Van djik was in Celtic at this point of his career for contrast.
Like Big Harry is proficient on scoring from corners!
