Sky sports used to be THE transfer source. Incredible fall from grace.
When? They’ve never been particularly good
I honestly think that while we aren't great in the market, the perception of how bad we are is increased by shit like that from Sky Sports.
Literally nothing. Just a fake update
I remember hearing we had signed Andy Cole through Sky. Glory days!
Pre social media.
Aware of
Sheth didn't do a good job with that "aware of" part, but he means to say that United are "aware of" Sofyan Amrabat being available for a purchase. That is to say, Fiorentina have put him on the market and won't stop him from leaving especially since he rejected Fiorentina's new contract offers up to now. We wouldn't be getting this update from Sheth if Fiorentina didn't put Amrabat up for sale.Who isn't aware of him? He was incredibly well known before the world cup, but after his excellent displays through the tournament I'm sure every football fan on the planet knew who he was.
But like with Muani and Hojlund I'm not getting my hopes up.
"Player X is appreciated by #mufc"
Pre-social media and early social media. I used to only believe a story if it came from two sources. Sky sports and the BBC.
Why are we not just selling him and buying a better player. What is the uncertainty exactly - that no one will pay what we want for him or that we may want to keep him? Regardless he is clearly not a defensive midfielder and also proven to be not good enough if we have ambitions to challenge.
This, but our "fans" are more than happy to lap it up.
How about we proactively sell him and sign an actual, decent defensive midfielder?
McTominay is far better further up the pitch and he should join a team where he’ll be able to play there.
United want to sell him for a good fee and not just for any price. Their stance of not just putting him up for sale will mean that other clubs will need to offer a significant sum of money to have a chance at securing him. If we put him up for sale, then we'd be lowballed by Newcastle and co.
Because he's on big money at United. Who's gonna pay a transfer fee and big wages for him when there are other, better, cheaper alternatives?
Pretty much. They clearly all see the comments on forums/twitter of fans moaning how we are "monitoring fc" etc and capitalise on it by throwing variations of those words about us and random players to get those clicks.
Fans get hysterical as if every time a media report comes out, the club are saying or doing something when it's just media rehashing news daily to fill time and space.

And had a decent WC just 6 months ago, I'm sure stuff like that goes under the radar for most club scouts but not United's scouts, so fair play to them to be aware of him, good job, earning their corn.
Pre-Internet days.

from all the positions in the team left wing is the last one we need right now
Unless Rashford is going to be our new striker - quite possible
Even then you have Garnacho, Sancho and even Martial who can all play there.
Feels like lazy journalism.
Left winger?!?
To be fair, this is the Daily Mail. Even Mussolini is a left winger by their standards.
Another one bites the dust.

That was such a funny and random link. Probably to wind up Leeds fans.
the £1.6m we have made from sales probably won’t stretch that far
Interesting. Why would Inited go after a LW?
I feel this is most likely, maybe we get Hojlund also but I think Rashford will be the main forward to start the season. Martial will no doubt be injured and I think Garnacho could be ready to start on the left after hopefully a good pre season.
I guess they may have tentative interest from elsewhere in Sancho?
Because we're very silly sometimes.

Because we are a club that is obsessed with LWs, at least for the past 10 years or so.
If that's the case we're in serious trouble! He is not the solution.
Its not true, this is an ETH pick again, the scouting team have never heard of him!!!
Neymar on loan deal if Jassim gets club?

Neymar
Only one which kinda makes senseNeymar
Probably why he wanted Gakpo.
If Rashford gets injured or goes through a barren spell, who do we have that can deputise?
Martial is made of glass and just about out the door. Sancho runs hot and cold(mostly cold) and seems more effective on the right. So not surprising at all that we need a good LW for depth
