Ciro Venerato (RAI journalist): "Kalidou Koulibaly at United for 150m is bull****. In fact, they are talking to Mino Raiola for Roma’s Kostas Manolas who has a €36m termination clause." #MUFC

PSG dressing doesn't want him.Poor Ander.
Now I want to give him a cuddle.
In PSG dressing room decides on transfers.
This is actually true IMO but it's up to the club to be ruthless with moving past their best players on, not the fans to boo them out of the club.
Might as well burn the money and heat Old Trafford for a week.

Please not T-Rex arms
Sign Oblak and we wouldnt even care de Gea was gone.
I've said it from day one if he leaves Oblak should be the one to replace him and no one else.
Pickford
Not Pickles.
If being back in Madrid is DDG's alternative to being here (my opinion, he wants to stay if we pay him), and if he isn't going to sign a new contract, a straight swap with Oblak is my preferred choice.
Agreed. Not even that fussed over De Gea personally. Not that I don’t recognise he’s the best, but he’s just a goalkeeper still. Get another top keeper.
No thanks to pickford with his litterpick arms.
I'd give up football if we signed Pickford.
The Mirror piece regarding the two Goalkeeping replacements is made up by the Mirror. They don't even put a name of a Journo to it, which is telling.
Replacing de gea with oblak would be pretty unnoticeable, I reckon. Replacing him with Pickford? Give me strength
Exactly. I like all United fans who have endured the past 6 years absolutely love De Gea. He is the sole reason we won so many games but his shot stopping (second to none in history) would be balanced over the season against his poor ability to play the ball, come for it and command. Oblak is the best keeper in the world at the moment.
Pickford is probably just thrown in there because there's been rumours of Ole wanting a British core. If you're a "journalist" it's an easy link to establish if you want to.
Oblak would be great if DDG left. No thanks to Pickford obviously.

Think I’d rather take my chances with Hendo over Pickford if it came to it.
Ole said he has the best goalkeeping department in football...let them battle it out for it, Romero, Henderson, Pereira, Grant, more than enough.
Yeah we know for a fact that Romero is a safe pair of hands because we've won cup competitions with him as first choice. Give him de gea's current role and give Henderson the fa cup and the league cup.

I think in the longer term most of our players would be doing us a favour by leaving. Being forced in to a big rebuild may be exactly what we need. Our team feels fundamentally broken anyway, and making a few changes every summer doesn't seem to make any difference whatsoever.
We're talking about Pogba and De Gea, two of our best players. Don't think there's a scenario when your best players wanting out is a good thing unfortunately.
I agree with you completely.
I look at our rivals and their players are harmonious and seemingly enjoying being at their respective clubs, yet we have to deal with a constant barrage of shit from our players and their agents.
We have Romelu Fecking Lukaku talking about stepping up to a team that wins trophies ffs. He should be the first to be shown the door.
There is honestly no one in this squad I’m desperate to keep - that’s how broken the club feels.
Rip it all up and start afresh.
So all the players where excited to play under Ole but now he has become full time they want to jump ship, really. Strange how well Paul was playing
and then all of s sudden Zidane is back at Madrid has oppose to Jose and his form just disappears. When Ronaldo flirted with Madrid he never once dropped
his level of play. Time to cash in his head has turned. And for the rest that want a small African countries GDP to play for United they to can leave, the Sanchez
deal was a mistake.
Interesting how since Jose has left, every Castles article portrays Utd in a negative light, either our structure is wrong or players want to leave. Surely it's just a coincidence.
I understand the frustration but this "revolutionary road" of rebuilding United is completely utopian. Most of the players are normal professionals who would thrive under Klopp or Guardiola. Hey, they have put in some good performances under Ole too. It is not impossible that they surprise Barca or make the top 4 by winning 5 of the last 6 league games. Let's see first how the season ends before starting to get on their backs.
Was wondering the same thing! Castles is the biggest joke of a journalist out there! Absolutely loved us last year when Mourinho was feeding him lines; now he has turned into a bitter fool! How he gets paid for the tripe he spouts I'll never know!Interesting how since Jose has left, every Castles article portrays Utd in a negative light, either our structure is wrong or players want to leave. Surely it's just a coincidence.
Have you ever listened to the podcast he’s on? I’ve only listened a couple of times but It’s fecking atrocious, 3 Scottish blokes talking like everything they say is fact and that Castles fella is clearly pissed that Mourinho no longer calls him, like a spurned lover his bitterness is consuming him.
Lukaku thinking he is good enough for Madrid or Barca is hilarious. If those are the clubs he will leave us for I think it’s safe to say he’s staying.

I’m in the camp that does not see Pogba as one of our best players. Too inconsistent and very replaceable.
DDG clearly is and needs to be retained - to a point though. Wages can’t keep climbing like they are.
Totally agree with your first paragraph and not so much with the second. Look at Liverpool before Klopp arrived, they were further away than we were now, what was it three years ago? They got the right manager (the one I wanted to replace Ferguson) ad have spent a lot of money on the right players that the manager has got to perform.
Moyes was never the right manager, LVG I actually thought would do well and Mourinho was always a ticking timebomb as soon as he arrived. But look at the half a billion or so that has been spent on round pegs in square holes or plain average players.
Because of this we will be going into another season with pretty much a new manager, still needing 4 signings if no major names leave, possibly 7. As so much of the recruitment has again been poor we will also still several years later before the window unbelievable have Jones, Smalling and Young as virtual first choice defenders and Lingard as our first choice right winger.
Paul Inces comment of anybody could come in and improve us was misinterpreted. Solkjear has done a wonderful job up to now, but the honeymoon period is over, he has a huge job, is he good enough I dont know but transfer wise, apart from DeGea Im not too worried if any of the names linked to leave do. We have a group of players who dont seem to have right mental attitude or many who if we are honest are massively under performing.
I hope we get the incoming transfers right this summer both in terms of numbers and quality, as so far since Ferguson left only two windows havent left me hugely underwhelmed before the season even started.
Havent we already done that with the colossal failure of Sanchez, who is a great player and not worked and also with the colossal waste of £75m it was always going to be on Lukaku?
There is always knee jerk reactions but lets be honest, as ridiculous as it sounds, many fans were calling for Fergusons head in the early days
It’s not just getting on their backs after a few crap results though. Some of these players have been getting away with it for years while the management and board (who are culpable too) have taken the brunt of it.
The ability of many within our squad is totally overstated, as shown by their consistent inability to do the basics, while their collective attitude stinks.
The players at this club are sickening and it’s completely turned me off from football. We have compiled a bunch of mercenaries, while genuine world class players at Liverpool and City get on with the task at hand with no fuss.
Pogba is a player who is the antithesis of what made us good under Ferguson. Compare and contrast against the likes of Silva, Aguero and De Bruyne.
