£70m? Really? Wouldn't even get Dortmund answering the phone. It's the Sun though so should we expect better?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

Double it at least, make it sound believable.
Sancho in, Mata and Alexis out would be a dream.
70 million? Yeah right.
Would love us to sign Sancho, ticks all the boxes. This week has shown us how much our gameplan can be affected by a couple of injuries, especially if we're looking to play the way Ole wants to play with speed and dynamism.
Barcelona sign players to replace their older ones before they are past it. We wait until our players are ready for the scrapheap and then desperately try to find replacements. It's one of the main reasons we desperately need a dof, for long term recruitment planning.
Reliable imo.
Compared to what Christian Pulisic went for, sounds reasonable.
what? people are getting ahead of themselves with the valuation I think, I think Dortmund would seriously consider 70 bloody million pounds
Might be annoying but yes he’s quite reliable. I might be mistaken but he was one of the first journalists who wrote that we were after Neymar. His father confirmed it a few months later.
Luckhurst also wrote a piece on how United tried hard to sign Sancho from City, but City were making it very difficult for the player to join United. United were willing to pursue the signing even after City's stance and were willing to be patient but the player wanted out from City ASAP which gave Dortmund the opportunity to sign him.
Custis is a decent source for United transfer news and I imagine we'll go back in for him in the summer.

Was exactly my reaction
When did £70m become a laughable price for a promising young player? Sounds reasonable to me.
Why would Dortmund sell for a reasonable price?
If city/Liverpool/anyone else had been linked with him for that price, this place would be full of people saying that we’re a joke for missing out on him for such a good price and taking it as gospel.
Because it’s us that's linked with him, the whole story is obviously bullshit...

Slow news day. Icardi won't fit in our current system so a no go. Dybala would be
Dortmund sold a young player nowhere near as rated, a bench warmer and a year left on his contract for close to that figure.
about 12 months ago
Get rid of Lukaku and buy Icardi 
Probably not true anyway.
Probably not true anyway.
I'm dreaming here but selling Lukaku and signing the likes of Dybala, Sancho, Koulibaly, a CM and a full back would put us back up there.
Sancho LW, Martial ST and Dybala RW would be great. I think we need a DM more than a CM because Matic is being run into the ground. If we could sign a good DM and someone like Pellegrini for CM then we would be able to challenge.
Seems we are getting rid of all the players we should have left at Everton in the first place.Tweet

It would or Martial LW, Rashford ST, Sancho RW, Dybala CAM and Pogba in CM vs smaller teams at home, that'd be amazing to watch. Pellegrini or Barella would be my picks as DM.
. So has Rashford not really done it for you this season?No way United are getting dybala. He's loving life atm with Ronaldo bromance. Icardi on the other hand is very possible. Dybala and pogba again would be just beautiful.Tweet

Herrera New DM Pogba
Martial
Icardi Rashford
But id rather get the RW to fit the 4-3-3Martial
Icardi Rashford
We would need more than one striker obviously. Between Rashford and Martial the latter should start. If we do sell Lukaku and Sanchez then we need a starting striker. A 21 year old Rashford will not win us a title playing upfront. He is still very raw and needs to develop.
How do people see it working if we signed Dybala and a RW?
The best possible side would likely be....
Martial Dybala RW
Pogba Herrera
DM
However that means Rashford drops back down to rotating with Martial for the LW when he has shown his best form up top.

The sun's a banned source.
Actually I'd like to swap Martial with Sanchez if he was any good for us. But yeah, looks like 443 is what Ole is going for .
But not the reporter I think.
The reporter is fine, even if he works for a rag.
He certainly should be.
Hasn't Dybala been on the bench a lot recently?
Maybe. I don't watch those games. But it just looks like he's finally starting again.
I guess because United weren't playing this weekend that the media needed to make up a few stories for print.
So we're taking this as legit then?
No, 29 appearances on a total 32 games.
Ah, fair enough.
That doesn't differentiate between starting appearances and ones from the bench though.
Custis is a decent source for United transfer news and our interest in the player goes back to when he left City as reported by Sam Luckhurst in the MEN. I take it as legit transfer news.
