Samuel Luckhurst: "A move for McTominay depends on the severity of Mainoo's injury and whether United receive an acceptable offer. The club have valued McTominay at between £40million-£50m after West Ham expressed interest."

"McTominay, 26, has two years left on his contract but West Ham are in the market for a new midfielder to replace Declan Rice and McTominay's agent, Colin Murdock, played under Hammers manager David Moyes at Preston North End in the late Nineties and early 2000s. McTominay's partner also resides in London."

If we got 40 million either for Scott or Maguire Ten Hag should be kidnapping them and dumping them outside the club they plan to sell to. Both are absolute scutter and can't wait to see the back of them. Hopefully Mainoo injury isn't too bad and not ligament damage.

I wouldn't put it past the way the club is run with Murtough / Arnold. United have already spent close to 100 million on two players who could potentially have been acquired for free with more planning.

Pretty sure the story goes we’re signing a replacement for Scott if he leaves?

We're not selling McTominay now. He's got more lives than a cat. The Mainoo injury has pretty much guaranteed his necessity until January.
Of course we will. Mainoos injury, which will probably last 2 months, won’t influence a 40M transfer. We need the funds

If West Ham, or anyone offered £30 mill we should snap their hand off. This is the best time to sell him at premium value, as he wont get much game time if kept this season and will only have one year left on his contract. No one will be offering £30 mill next summer.

I think we under appreciate McTominay so much here. He is a very good box to box player and could be a very good player for the way West Ham play. Hes 40m minimum and we should not bow down to the pressure of our fan base and try to sell him for less. Murtough and Co should do their best to ensure we sell for good price or dont sell him (im happy at that if the sell not happen)

hehehe, incase West Ham are looking here.

Fan base has little sway over transfer I think, no matter how vocal they seem to be online.

If we sell him for £40m/£45m it'll be our 4th highest transfer fee received for a player.

That's mad.

If we manage to grind 40-45 mil for McT it's probably our best business in the history after Lukaku to Inter. Literally nothing player chapmionship level player, who will soon find a place on the bench even for the likes of WHU. I am curious if they really don't have any scouting department to go for Amrabat isntead - much better fit than subpar no8 mCtominay with only one good trait - driving with tha ball forward. But abysmall defending and positioning quality, horrific passing ability, questionable mentality, never available for the ball, and we can continue. This is the lad who plays in back 3 for Scotland because he;s not good enough to play in midfield.

Maguire on the other hand would be a great fit for them, 20m should be okay price all things considered..

I’d be happy with £30m-£35m for him. If West Ham use him as a predominately attacking box to box centre mid then he’d be great for them. That’s his main strength in my opinion.

A PL proven player who has played in the biggest matches coming to his peak years and has started to score in international games like a striker. Newcastle also have an interest in him as well. He will get offers near the end of the window. Probably 40m easily.

Not that mad. We are not a selling club.
Yup exacttly this. Let’s look through the Fergie years. I can only think of 3 players we sold either in their prime or getting there. Ince to Inter, Beckham to Madrid and of course Ronaldo.

outside of them we sold players who were past their best or just not suited anymore. That’s the way it should be.

im probably forgetting someone. But I can only think of those 3

edit: forgot Kanchelskis but he was a weird one

Why are people pretending British = bad? Classic Caf nonsense?
It's hipster superiority.

British players are "mainstream" because everyone's already aware of who they are. Foreign players are better because you've "probably never heard of them".

The sense of superiority that comes from hating on British players is down to those posters thinking that they know better and are therefore cooler than the rest.

Jaap Stam was still in his prime. It was dressed up as him having lost a yard, but SAF just made the wrong call on the back of Stam's autobiography.

Regardless of Mainoo's injury if we can get 40 million for McTominay and another 20 million for Fred we should take it.

Casemiro, Amrabat, Mount, Fernandes, Eriksen and Hannibal should be enough options for us in the short term.

If we can invest that money in another CM or CF even better.

As soon as I posted I knew I’d forgotten an obvious one. Stam was probably the most surprising exit, we knew Fergie had issues with Ince, Becks and it was obvious Ronaldo was gone after that season he was convinced/not allowed to leave.

Stam was a shocker, and to repalce him with a spent Laurent Blanc

could you imaging the RedCafe meltdown if that happened now?

That really is, bearing in mind 30m is the price of an average defender these days.

Who are the 3?

Di Maria, Lukaku are the obvious ones.
Surely not as far back as Beckham for the 3rd?

That's one theory, the other is a dirtier one about whether his future ban for failing a drugs test had come to light already.

Either way Stam for a 36 year old Blanc was one of the biggest all time downgrades.

Thankfully it wasn't for long and we ended up with Rio very soon after.
