PSG sold Aurier and Dani Alves is 34 years old. I think Meunier is going to replace Alves.
But you are right, Meunier has a good cross on him.

whats his contract? isnt he a United fan?
He was acquired after the Euro 2016 for 7 millions (yes, seven) of euros only.
rumoured to be a United fan, but no real source on it so far. Contract til 2020.
Three years left, and yes he is. Alves will probably be at PSG for 2 seasons and part of the reason they sold Aurier was because they had Meunier. They don't sell players they don't want to.
Apparently he says here: http://www.dhnet.be/sports/football...r-united-et-le-piano-58a1e2d7cd702bc3192aa529
sounds good
He is, but he still has a long contract with PSG iirc. PSG only really let players go if they want to, the player and money doesn't influence their decision.
Meunier didn't have a good game against Greece though, even when considering the whole team was poor. A lot of misplaced passes that should have been straightforward. That sublime cross did make up for a lot of it.
Welldone to PSG for getting him for a miniscule fee in this day and age. I'm very hopeful with our new team of scouts, that we'll see a similar deal for us very soon.

Sign him, great player.
Sign him now.
Ffs we need to sign this guy, but i can't see us getting him away from PSG.
190 cm, can play football, is a Utd fan.. Could it be more perfect?

His defending could improve..
Doesn't even hide it.
Bless him.

This lad would be Mourinho's ideal fullback, hopefully some fancy South American RB pops up soon and we can get Meunier.
Can imagine him being a great complementary outlet for Lukaku given some of their combination plays for Belgium. Linking up on crosses is a bit like an intuitive art-form that cannot always be trained, and they seem to have a natural and precise understanding between them.
He could be for United what someone like [Irrelevant point] is for Chelsea - maybe not the greatest fullback around when compared with the likes of Alves and Marcelo and Sandro, but a critical contributor in attack and on set pieces (we're slightly vulnerable there when we field combinations of Bailly, Jones, Rojo and Lindelöf). Not convinced Paris Saint-Germain will sell him, though. Alves isn't going to perform at a high level forever, and they let Aurier go - so they're not that well stocked in the position for a club that seems hell-bent on landing a Champions League title.

The footballer that gives the best interviews and in general I don't give much importance to them. Medias love him because he's as honest as they get.
I was just going to post this myself....hahaha what a guy...!!
Sign all the Belgians!
Accurate crossing is such a great weapon to have. Obviously, the vast majority of crosses are not converted but that threat is such a psychological factor both for the attacking and defending team putting them on edge and forcing them to shift their focus on defending it. Just give you another option and more things to think about for the oppo defense.
A wide man who can cross? Get him!
Edit; wait, is he a fullback? I've not seen him much at all but considering he got a hat trick the other day for Belgium and can cross like that I thought he was a winger.

He's a converted winger, used to play in a very attacking position. Has been playing fullback for years now.
He's great, very down to earth and genuine good guy. Would be an awesome signing.
Surely we'd play him on the right, he seems wasted at right back with his attacking capabilities.
Thomas Meunier: “Manchester United is the perfect club.”
Speaking in an interview with SFR Sport, PSG right-back Thomas Meunier was effusive with praise for Manchester United.
“I play with PSG on FIFA to play myself upfront otherwise with Manchester. As in Manchester United, the real one, the real one. I have always been a fan of Manchester United. They are back in the Champions League, they have formed a good team this year. I am thinking of Matic, I would have loved him in Paris, he is really an exceptional player. For the rest, they have a great team, a great manager, great fans, its the perfect club.”

Our right back is basically a winger anyway in our system.
Hopefully Dani Alves has a stormer of a year and PSG would sell Munier to us.
He'd be a massive improvement.

You should do the decent thing and let him fulfill his dream
I nutted
Just said in an interview that Manchester United was the reason he loved football as a kid.
Sign him. He likes a goal, too doesn't he...
Very unlikely, Dani Alves is not getting any younger and Meunier has put in great performances so far, he's actually been playing out of his mind so far this season.
Agreed he's been fantastic but what's good for us is he's told L'Equipe he wants more playing time a week ago.
"Yes, because I want to play every match, whether it’s against Gueugnon, Niort or Bayern Munich," he told L’Equipe when asked if he was frustrated with a lack of playing time.
"I want to be on the pitch every time. I am in a team which is one of the top five in the world where the back-ups and the starters are about the same level."
Of course, he's going to say that. He's a professional who wants to play every game, you ask anybody on the bench and they will all say that. It's up to PSG to be able to manage both egos because Dani Alves didn't come to Paris to sit on the bench either. I just think with Dani's age and the fact that he can't put consecutive games together, Meunier will have enough games to keep him satisfied. It would take a very strong offer from Manchester United to tempt him, and it remains to be seen over a consistent amount of time if he'd be worth such an offer.
The question becomes whether PSG will part with him and would United pay what would be an outrageous transfer fee (70 million Euros would be my guess, 10x what PSG paid)
They are just too light at RB right now to ever consider that, with the departure of Aurier. Dani Alves is one injury away from Meunier playing 95% of the games. As of right now, I feel the rotation between the two of them is fine. I wouldn't put any stock in what Meunier said about his playing time. If/when Valencia call it a time on his career at United, then the offer of being the starting RB could be too enticing to resist for Meunier, but it remains to be seen if he will be worth the fee PSG will undoubtedly ask for him. They aren't really interested in the profit they'd make, given the sums they've been offered for Veratti who they got for under 3 million (probably their best piece of business).
David Alves is 34. Thomas Meunier is 26. I don't see PSG selling him.

I'm not sure why I thought the figure was so low, it was actually 12m after looking it up. It's still a great piece of business where they've turned down 10x what they paid for him, they just don't need the money which makes them complicated to deal with in any transfers.
Next year, they will certainly sell 2-3 players like Lucas Moura.
