I'm sure we can still find players of quality who are willing to join United. Right now it's not important to find the best players but players who can take us to a top 4 place, then we can build on from there and get some of our reputation back.
If he has no appetite to play for a team in the Europa League and in a league he has never had any desire to play in, he’s going to want to be compensated handsomely.
I think you guys have been great for a few seasons now but saying you're "bigger" than Juventus? Can't even compare to that magnitude. It's about so much more than revenue or a new stadium. They can attract any player in the world.
He isn't an idiot at all. He's looking for his best interest.
He is taking a huge risk with his career if his plan is to stay at Juventus. Another bad season then its no longer a blip and big clubs will see him as a huge gamble. Its easy to go from almost playing for United to then going to China next year.
It makes perfect business sense. The world's press have been fixated for days on this 'story' - all good 'free 'advertising for club sponsors. Good news is we need a top striker and Lukaku (far from burning any bridges, as some have suggested) is under contract. He needs to be in and around the 6 yard box and he'll score a hatful this term.

Do you think another season like 18/19 is in his best interests? Not producing enough goals, being benched for the big games and played out of position? If he is planing to join an inter or Spurs fair play to him but if he stays put at Juve then that would be a worse than coming to united
Loyal? Determined? Ambitious?
When one of the two parties doesn’t want the relationship and are specifically ending it due to them preferring someone else, that’s not called loyalty.
He would have to be intoxicated never mind ambition - if the club and coach want him out.....It's not like Juventus don't know the player. They KNOW the player and what he can do and they've shown him the door. They choose a 34/35 year old Ronaldo over him. If he wants to stay so much? Why don't he ask Juve to lower his contract.....you know? To make him more financially manageable.
If we don't get a couple more missing pieces this window, we won't be in top 4. Midfield needs addressing now, mate.
Let's not pretend we're some sort of step up from Juventus. If Lukaku has an offer from a top team of course he's going to go. Dybala choosing to not come to a club who have shown little sign of getting anywhere near the top again is absolutely fair enough. He's got a contract, he can do what he wants. If he chooses to stay he'll get plenty of game time.
He is not in Manager's plans
Sure it is.
Exactly. If he has better options then fair enough. But it doesnt look like he has. Playing Europa at Utd on double your salary has to be better than being benched at a club that doesnt want you. If he really doesnt want to play at Utd then he could quite easily stay quiet, put in the performances and once he has proven himself move on on 2/3 years. Its not like hes going to Watford. Does he think Real/Barca will be knocking on his door if he scores 5 goals again next year? This says more about Dybala than it does about our current status. I think hes one of those scardy boo players that is afraid of challenging himself in another league or moving to another country.
They are frustrated that things didn't go as they wanted and are therefore throwing toys out of their prams.
Yeah these are some pretty childish and bitter comments tbh. They could also be considered mercenaries if they joined us just for the sole purpose of money.
He is hardly going to be scraping his overdraft is he? His bank balance is probably so large he wouldn't have noticed much of a difference.
In Europe/Historically we are. We're in a funk now but that's mostly due to the owners. Lukaku may have wanted to play in Italy all his life, but this stems from him being put on the bench. What's funny to me is that people pretend to know what's going on. We're in the dark. Todays a big day, you'd think his agent might come out and say he's going to stay and fight because Dybala has social media to state i'm loyal to Juventus. I want to stay publicly, but he hasn't. Yet.
I’m expecting Mandzukic to arrive. I’m also expecting him to quickly become our starting striker.
Your anti-Rashford venom is transparent.
Stop pushing the anti-Rashfrd narrative.
