Isaac Hayden has been trying to escape for over a year; that’s likely who he’d replace.
Sean Longstaff
- Thread starter Zoo
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

if he is able to actually run after people and even attempt to challenge them, he's already an upgrade on Static.
So maybe you can clear this up for me, is he more Carrick or more Lampard? It seems more people are comparing him to Carrick now but i've also read comparisons to Lampard because of his apparent goal scoring prowess.
Longstaff makes more forward passes per 90 but he also makes more backwards passes than Rice according to the Squawka comparison matrix. They are almost even when it comes to sideways passes. The sample is small though since Longstaff didn't play much. Rice is the much bigger talent, two years younger as well and already so much more experience in the PL

im definitive impresses by this guy. He is a clinical finisher and can score goals as well. He is composure and good with the ball. So again, he definitive got mine attention as a scout. He is definitive on my notebook and one to watch and follow.
Think I'd prefer to take a punt on Jack Clarke - what I've seen of him reminds me of Alan Smith's passion and work ethic
Don't think this current Leeds set up will ever sell to United. They're too close to getting back to where they reckon they should be. Although I suppose they're prone to making tits of themselves.
was hoping they might "need" to sell having failed to get promotion this time round...
Clarke was never a main starter for them, just an emerging youth talent. He’d no doubt be happy sticking around to see what happens next season.
This one's gone quiet. Do we reckon it's a dead end?
Nothing to say that it was ever more than media creation.
Sorry but...
Longstaff is central midfield player, but he does has a clinical finishing in him. Like Frank Lampard. If you give this boy some space inside or abit outside the box, then you are done. Longstaff is really determination when it come to finishing. Looks at the goals he has scored so far
Longstaff could become one of the stars of English football. I've seen him play a number of times and thought straight away the MU should buy him. Really talented and intelligent footballer. I don't think Newcastle will sell him though, which is a huge shame for us, not so much for them.
The times have stated again that he is a target. Said that Ole sees him as a star of the future

Rabiot and Bruno Fernandes as the holding midfielder and attacking midfielder.
AWB or TM as the right back, and the commanding centre back could be anyone at this stage.
Regards to the forward, I wonder if OGS would go for a versitile forward that can play as a winger forward and lead the line.
Why is this still being reported after Newcastle buy out there is no way they will sell and no way he will leave.
I seriously hope not, looks like another Fred. Would much rather this kid who looks like he's born to play in the PL.
Rabiot refused to play DM for PSG so thats not going to work.
James Garner plays pretty much the same position and is extremely highly rated.
Will almost certainly play pre season.
Superb passing between the lines at speed, better than the footage I've seen of Longstaff.

I think we will be playing Matic as the main defensive midfielder and then replace him next season.
I've got high hopes for Garner just not sure if he's ready this season.
What does Daniel James class as in that list.
From reading the bit available pre-paywall Its cobbled together click-bait, i wouldnt fret over the technicalities.
fecking hope not. He needs replacing as much as Young.
I hope we’re fading him out and giving him limited minutes. I doubt it when we’re going to give Young the captaincy.
Good point.
We can’t afford to fade him out, he’s done. Legs are gone. Needs replacing ASAP
Garner seems very mentally mature to me.
Combine that with the intelligence his game has and he's a tall lad so if he can 5 or 6 pounds during the inter season break to his (relatively) thin frame there is no reason he can't be available to play next season.
I also rate Garner extremely high, but he plays in a position where experience is essential. He is still a couple of years away.

Think it'd be a really good move, especially at £25m.
Oh yes, Brexit United my body is ready for you
Better not be our only midfield signing. Do Newcastle fans actually rate him?
Our midfield could be completely overhauled next season. Nice!
Our big summer window could be 175M spent on James, AWB, Harry Maguire and Sean Longstaff...
This could be a very good bit of Business. 25m ,he could go on to be a very solid player for us . Dont mind this at all .
I really rate this lad from what I saw off him against City and Chelsea. For £25m he'd be a fantastic pick up.
Is Neil Warnock our DoF?
Jesus christ, we are doomed
They really rate him very highly.
