Transfer Tweets - Manchester United - 2024/25

I love how this forum is obsessed with “backups” every transfer is seen as a backup whilst simultaneously claiming that our starting 11 is shit and they won’t even make a league 1 side

I don’t think I implied anything like that. Dalot was one of our better players last year. He even won the players player of the year award if I remember rightly.

Mazraoui doesn’t seem like a clear upgrade to me but form could play its part I suppose.
 
I'm not fussed about Rabiot, but we need another midfielder along with Ugarte. Either sign amra or we get this momma's boy in.
Not fussed about Mazzy but we need a LB. With shaw and malacia (treatment table boys) we need cover.

Here's my season starting 11:

Rashy Hojlund Diallo
Bruno
Mainoo Ugarte
Shaw Martinez Yoro Dalot
Onanananana

(bit concerned with goal output tbh, need a more clinical striker)
 
Stick him on the bench and give him 15-20 minutes here and there, could be the purchase of the summer if he progresses
Is he a Central Forward or an inverted winger like Rashford?
 


Hopefully this is a great signing but I'm cautious about hyped up youth signings from other clubs.

When we signed Charlie McNeil from City that was supposed to be a huge coup but did he ever do anything of note?
 
These signings are really underrated. We reportedly got two of the biggest talents from our rival teams. Obi could be everything from the new Mcneill to Greenwood (skillwise) to Haaland. He could either get loaned for some years and come back as a pro player or directly integrated to the first team and get minutes. It would probably affect Wheatley's future too. Excited to see how he will develop under Ruud.

Nope, which is why people need to be patient. Hes not going straight into the first team squad at 16
 
Great signing, has great numbers in the U18s with 32G/3A in 20 games. I know its not a warranty but its definitely exciting to be signing this kind of prospects hopefully he can make an impact in the first team in the short term.
 
Ben Jacobs says we're serious about Chilwell, this club never learns when it comes to injury prone players does it?
I think it's 1+1 equals 11. The Chelsea manager hinted that they may be open to him leaving. Cue...United need a new LB, let's link them with Chilwell.
 


Tempted to take a punt on him in FPL. It seems like he has been given assurances that he'll get decent gametime (close to starter levels) on the RW. I think Ten Hag plan A is a wide creator + inside forward on RW and LW and he has been forced to play with Rashford (LW) / Garnacho (RW) because our wide-creator types (Sancho and Antony) are so garbage.

It all depends on if Zirkzee elevates our game more than Hojlund. But even then we could pull off a Garnacho, Zirkzee, Amad forward line. Interesting times in the forward positions atleast. I hope we sort the midfield / defence by the time the season starts so we can have a good platform for the forwards to play.

I think that's amazingly harsh on Rasmus, based on last season where Amad had very few minutes and Rashford/Garnacho/Anthony had no intention of passing.

If Amad gets a run in the team and we have better link of play from the FBs with Shaw back then that's the fair benchmark for him.
 
Good, so that means Mazzraoui in.

Now sell Lindelof to get De Ligt in.

Sell McTominay and/or Eriksen to get Ugarte in.

And sell Sancho and/or Casemiro to get another midfielder in.
Sell Eriksen (he deserves first team football he won’t get here) and Sancho. Keep Case and McT, unless we get stupid big offers. Presumably we will get Mazzraoui, Ugarte, de Ligt and maybe Rabiot. Would like a cheeky deadline day striker too, just cos I’m greedy! :lol:

Less tactics chat in this thread please. Again, this thread is for transfer news and comments directly related to the news. We have plenty of other threads for further discussion.
