I'm not clicking on that link.
It seems like a huge gamble to go into the season without bringing in at least one central midfielder. It's far more important than signing another central defender, in my opinion.Q: Marouane Fellaini, and Ander Herrera have left. Are you comfortable with the your midfield like it is? You've got James Garner coming through.
A: Jimmy is young, only 18, so you can't expect too much from him, but you can see he is going to be a top player.
Andreas I expect a lot more from, Scotty I expect a lot more from. Those two between them had maybe 15-20 starts last season. You expect them to have at least 20 each this season maybe even more. That's maybe two players into one that can replace Ander.
"Manchester United's transfer strategy - are you the man who decides?
There won't be any players here I don't want. No. We are still looking at one or two options but it depends on outgoings. It might be more because if suddenly two or three go, then you have to replace players."
If ever you thought Ole wouldn't tow the line, sadly he's already doing it. Clearly doesn't have final say and has given as good a diplomatic response as possible.
I can give him a new challenge.

Anybody see the last bit where the press officer is asking them to take a line out about Pogba being sold. Said she doesn't mind then writing about it as an off the record story or something...
Don't think that's any reference to Pogba, that's just referring to him saying that if players go, we'll have to replace players (since he said if like 2 or 3 go, doesn't mean 2 or 3 are looking to leave, just that it was an example). How I saw it anyway.
Think she said "four" rather than Paul. Like "off the record if four go, we'll replace, not necessarily that four will go".I just thought it's strange that she mentions "Paul" when he didn't even mention Pogba leaving. Unless there's more that isn't shown?

What's this bollocks? This was basically the perfect interview from Ole, showed he has the balls to be the proper manager of Manchester United. Never hides from questions and never gets personal with his answers. A true professional and a red devil in his bones!"Manchester United's transfer strategy - are you the man who decides?

This is a hard one.
He don’t say anything controversial and he’s political correct about all questions who’re transfer related so why don’t I feel comfortable with some of his his answers?
“As I've said to you, we're working on one or two and we're still hoping, but I also understand that the market has changed. Prices have soared.”
“We have taken our time and we are not going to over pay,”
“There are players here that are coming into pre-season as well that (I think) 'I might just have a look at him again because if he has changed as I think he has and it looks like, he might have a career here'.”
“Many have followed as you say, successful years, but there have been many who have been before that as well. Probably them you don't see on Twitter or social media, so you don't hear from them as much.”
“Andreas I expect a lot more from, Scotty I expect a lot more from. Those two between them had maybe 15-20 starts last season. You expect them to have at least 20 each this season maybe even more. That's maybe two players into one that can replace Ander.”
Once again! I don’t like when he in a passive aggressive manner criticize our supporters. That’s a battle he can’t win and I can’t understand why he’s going down that road. It’s clear as daylight that the club have media trained him in the last couple of days so then I can’t understand why they let him address this “problem”
again. If you ask me it’s stupid and counter productive.
The answers about Andreas and “Scotty” replacing Ander scares the hell out of me on so many levels. The other thing I don’t like is when he says that “prices has soured” and “we’re not going to overpay”.
I’m sorry but I don’t like it.
I think not replacing Herrera may come back to bite us. Not entirely convinced with Pereira and needs to step up this season as he will be 24 come January and can't be considered a young player anymore. Hope McTominay continues his progression which I think he will do as Ole seems to like him, as he does whatever he told to exactly, which is a quality i think Ole admires mate.Not replacing Herrera/Fellaini will be a mistake. Hopefully McTominay and Pereira will step up next season. McTominay already did last season, with few of his performances was good and looked like regular player. Pereira has technical ability but he looks very passive player.
If Ole trusts both of them to replace 2 players who left, then it's a risk. Hopefully they won't let him down.
Same with RW too, he said Dan James will play as LW and RW.

I couldn't have said it better. We have huge huge concerns at DMI think McTominay and Periera are fine, personally feel a lot less worried about them. I am more worried about our DM. We are basically hoping that Fred will come good and expecting Matic to be much better. IMO, that is a far bigger risk.
I also think we won't go for a winger, at least not this season. Not surprising, as we have to make space before we get more players. In terms of attack, I can only see us getting a player to replace Lukaku, if he goes.

One or two options. What?
So he’s happy with just a guy whose played in championship and right back.
A few things i would like to add. Fellaini and Herrera left and there's no new midfielder coming in. Him mentioning the high prices and the criticism of some the fans weren't necessary.A: If we sell players, we will have to replace them.
“There are players here that are coming into pre-season as well that (I think) 'I might just have a look at him again because if he has changed as I think he has and it looks like, he might have a career here'.”
feck off. Go support City or 'Pool.
