Transfer Tweets - Manchester United - 2023/24

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
We won't be buying a CB in January unless Varane leaves. Even then I doubt it, we won't have the funds (FFP).
depends how they calculate FFP (I am not expert) - but if they calculate FFP based on calender-year - by januari 1st 2024, the 2020 year will vanish from the calculation - and that was the Covid-year which should make it easier to spend for clubs in 2024.
No, 2024 (this season spend) is going to be an issue for us. The 2021 year (which will drop out from the 2022-24 calculation) was actually a positive year for us because of allowed Covid adjustments. 2022 is the problem year (big loss).
We're likely going to need to make sales to balance the books. McTominay a key one given he's pure profit.
One can dream that's the only reason he constantly plays at the moment

Only two years late.
I can smell something unpleasant
Don't know why he wasn't considered initially, watched very little of him in games but he was consistent.
Comedy heaven.
Santi J FM is a clown.
No. I don't care how good a player Maignan is. We do not sign a player until we have a proper recruitment team in place. If this decision is being recommended by them, then by all means.
So Ten Hag doesn’t fancy the keeper whose capabilities he was fully aware of before we signed him? Sounds legit,
Ten Hag not convinced by the signing he pushed for, whom he had previously coached for multiple years.
If we keep him as manager, he should be given zero input over transfers. Not even polite suggestions to the recruitment team.
I'm posting Santi's original Tweet here as it offers a bit more info (Tier 3):
Basically, United are just monitoring his situation, and there are no suggestions of them making a move for Maignan. Same goes for Bayern, who've been more strongly linked to Maignan, but they have more than one option regardless.

The real comedy is you lot believing every nonsense source you read.
Needs to be an obligation, not an option. We’ll send him out, he’ll stink out another team for 6 months then we will wind up stuck with him like Martial.
What a steaming great pile of disappointment this guy has been.
How many windows have we been through since twitter was a thing to know that 99% of these are nonsense (Tier 1).
Come on. It's a nonsense tweet and shouldn't even be posted here.Ten Hag not convinced by the signing he pushed for, whom he had previously coached for multiple years.

He can't be that delusional
what's delusional - if ETH gets fired, a new manager might take him back. Greenwood has done a lot worse, and I still think United will take him back eventuallyHe can't be that delusional
If he takes no responsibility, he'll still be half-assing it under a new manager so what'll be the difference?
Greenwood is one of few players who never has always made an effort on the pitch - I am not saying I will forget what he did but he unlike players like Sancho, Rashford etc - Greenwood at least tried on the pitch
Sorry I meant Sancho. Personally I can't see a way back for Greenwood and not sure I want to but if he tears it up anything's possible.
Maignan was apparently our scouts' top recommendation but we were quoted something like 90m euros for him.
Wasn't sure where to post it but here we are. Do any of our Swedish fans have any insight to him?

Here’s a rogue question due to the lack of information I’m giving people - what happened to that winger (Norwegian perhaps) who played for Bodo-Glimt who was meant to be the next possible big talent?
I’m sure he joined an Italian team but I can’t for the life of me think of who it was.
Professionally speaking this isn't even remotely true. The only record of Greenwood being unprofessional was breaking camp with Foden while on NT duty.
Jens petter hauge was sold by Milan plays in Bundesliga .
That’s the guy.
Well I wasn't speaking professionally. I have never questioned Greenwoods behaviour or effort on the pitch
Hauge looked promising for Milan as well, but Pioli wanted someone more reliable and let him go to Frankfurt. He, however, never seemed to refine his game and make himself more consistent, so he's fallen by the wayside now.
Anyways, Tier 2:

If you're wondering where the Malen-Sancho swap rumours came from, they were reported by Christian Falk.

Dortmund don't have the money to buy him or pay him. Same as Juve.
Don't buy it at all.
Onana is ETH's boy. Despite his atrocious CL form, he's been pretty solid in the PL. Don't see it happening. Journalistic click bait
Interesting, didn't know that.
Would make sense for us to sell Casemiro and Varane to the Saudis and replace them with a younger alternative. Get their massive wages off the books as well. We can add Sancho into the mix and if PSG are still crazy enough, Rashford can go as well.
Can definitely see us trying to sell McTomminay and Maguire. Would be sad to see them go though. Proper squad players they are. Not many players have their mentality.
Would be the proper wage restructuring we so desperately need. And knowing us we will miss out on it as usual. Hopefully our new CEO and Sir Jim can change that.
Not sure what @Leftback99 says there is entirely accurate tbh
If Sancho wants a restart at United all he has to do is apologise…..
