He's a centre-back, right? Why would we buy an expensive centre-back?
So we can rotate at CB, we will lose an expensive CB in Maguire, that leaves us 3, one who is always picking up injuries. If we can rotate it might help with Varanes fitness.
Turned into a great squad player and come on leaps and bounds under ETH. Will help enormusly with squad rotation next sesaon
Glad we're keeping Lindelof. Licha - Varane - Lindelof - Kim would be a fantastic set of options at CB. Just what a serious CL club should have at its disposal.
Before signing a backup cb we should definitely look at the gaping holes in the first XI.
agree 100 %. All we then need is a keeper that that will attack corners and free kicks and can distribute the ball efficiently
Because great CBs are critical to great teams. They are critical as central midfielders in terms of the importance to the team. Can't have too many great CBs. Same with great CMs. You always have a chance to win.
All the great United sides had great CB pairing plus great alternatives.
That's just Romano's way of saying that he's not for sale. He says players are untouchable all the time, which makes it sound dramaticLindelof "Untouchable"
We'll buy one after we address those holes in the first XI, namely the striker and midfield positions. The striker position's our #1 priority, but that depends on how much money we have available (depending on the club's sale). At the moment, it looks like we're on standby for the striker role as, after Harry Kane, there's no other experienced & established option for United at this time, and we want to wait for the ownership situation to develop before we make a move.

That's one less team to worry about for our midfield options.

How many of those were sideways or backwards to the keeper? That’s why I don’t like those stats. How many passes were progressive?

Nothing is more Manchester United in a transfer window.
only if you believe every story, we're used in every rumour, 99% is bollox and makes everyone think we just spend the entire window finalising or monitoring situations when in reality we're working on a select few transfers and journalists know feck all and just repeat stories involving us for clicks.
The report implies that Porto are open to selling at the same price as the release clause amount without the release clause being triggered i.e. the money won't be offered up front but over a span of several years. In that case, it makes sense that United are preparing an offer rather than just offering the full amount up front.

Name me a better third-choice/fourth-choice central defender in any club in the P.L
Are we looking at Kane alternatives due to him going to Madrid or just the fact Levy won't sell in this window and we are playing long game

Focusing on one target at once is a mistake, we should look to make deals at the same time.
Getting rid of Maguire and AWB, and replacing them with Kim and Pavard, for about 70m, would be a great deal of business.
Yeah he walked into that one
City could be dark horses for Pavard
Don't think he wants to be second option though.

Yeah that's very true
Clearly he isn't willing to push enough for this move to Utd or Ramos words worked and he will join Real after his holiday
Nah the Times are reporting he would he prefer a move to United than oversees. He wants the PL record. If Spurs don't sell him this summer then I can see him joining us next year on a free.
Problem is we will have others involved next year
No surprises there. Register your interest with his agent. Tell him we’d be willing to pay over 100m for him right now. Leave Levy to block the transfer, while we move on. Hopefully it buys us some good will with him for next summer if he becomes available on a free. Only thing this can be useful for right now is as a smoke screen for other transfers. This was never, ever on.
If he wants to stay in England, who else can he possibly sign for? Doubt it will be Arsenal, City have Haaland, Pool Nunez, Newcastle have Isak. The only possible competition would be Chelsea, if they don't sign someone this year. The bigger concern will be Spurs having a good season and Levy somehow convincing Kane to sign a new contract.
If we have a great season and if we show him we are genuinely interested in him and that he can win titles with us, I can see him preferring to join us next year. I would ofcourse love for us to sign him this year, but that doesn't look very likely.
It's OK. We'll get him for free next summer so long as Harry kane isn't dumb enough to sign a new contract.

Doubt Kane is going anywhere really. If anything he will evaluate his options in January. The idea of being so close to Shearer's record only to piss it off in the last 2-3 years would be too much for him.
As far as our club goes I think we had 2 MAIN priorities: CF and GK. Based on that we have 2 scenarios for this transfer window:
Scenario A: Sign Kane and spend most of the transfer budget on him. Also sign a back up GK to compete with DDG in the mould of Raya or the Andrelecht goalie. Also sign what ever other reinforcements are needed.(CM and CB most likely)
Scenario B: Sign a back up striker instead(Hojlund), bring back No. 11 to lessen the goalscoaring burden. Sign a top GK instead. Reinforce the squad with a CM and CB.
Looking at how persistent the Costa links are I imagine we are going with scenario B.
Also No. 11 mouthpiece's in the Sun suggested that ETH would like to see him back in the set up, but the decision is made at the board level right now. Considering that no decision has been made so far, I imagine they are monitoring the transfer window and see how it goes. Based on that they will decide if they keep him or send him out on loan.
If this is true, take it and run
Balls to rivalries, I'd sell that loser to anyone for £50m
