Quite positively surprising window so far, indeed. Even if Cama or Goretzka go to another club, United at least made serious steps to sign them. After that there are still possibilities and right amount of time for alternatives.Well at least we are being linked to multiple midfielders now which shows that the club think there is an issue in that position and after sorting out Varane and selling a few may just sign one late in the window too
Yeah we definitely need a proper DM and either DLP or tempo controlling CM when Pogba leaves, would love to think we could sign Rice and a Camavinga/Neves/Goretzka over the next two summer windows but that looks too much of an askSancho situation is a bit strange but I'm not worried. As long as himself and Rashford get to ore season on the same day it's irrelevant
CB situation is a bit worrying. Ideally would have had one done for pre season. If we get someone experienced liken Varane it doesn't matter too much but if we where to risk it and get Pau Torres then missing ore season is a big negative.
Midfields very concerning. For me we must get a DM even if we keep Pogba. So if we lose him we need two starting quality Midfielders to ensure we don't regress in that department.
Lots still to do. This summer could be a 10/10 it could even be a 1/10 yet.
Its in the balance as far as we know.
It really shouldn't be. How we haven't been planning for Pogba going or even staying is insane.Yeah we definitely need a proper DM and either DLP or tempo controlling CM when Pogba leaves, would love to think we could sign Rice and a Camavinga/Neves/Goretzka over the next two summer windows but that looks too much of an ask
Totally agree with youIt really shouldn't be. How we haven't been planning for Pogba going or even staying is insane.
A DM needed to be signed last summer the second that we pulled out of the Sancho deal.
What has he done in club football in his whole career not just here for you to consider him the best central midfielder in the world?Who are the best and potentially available CMs in the world right now? I don't see anyone better than Pogba for this season.
The days of having CMs the calibre of Scholes/Kroos seem to have gone. Whose better than Paul Pogba?
A player isn't just a player when he plays club football.What has he done in club football in his whole career not just here for you to consider him the best central midfielder in the world?
So we shouldnt sell Pogba based on 10/15 games a season he plays for France? We should sign Grenit Xhaka as he is also very good for Switzerland?A player isn't just a player when he plays club football.
Who would you say are the best box to box midfielders in the world?
Should be targeting a DM if Pogba stays and more of a playmaker if he leavesthere is no chance we bring in another midfielder unless Pogba is sold. No one is going to buy mata and matic so they'll get minutes here or there and it appears Jesse is going to stay. There is no room for another CM without someone leaving.
Could see us getting one of those midfield two but not both, still cannot tell what type of MF we are actually going to target if Pogba leaves because have been linked to both pure DM's & playmaker types who sit deep. Like I have said before ideally we sign a player who can shield that back four but also pass through the lines as well but who is that person. Gut feeling all along is that the top target is still Rice but maybe that has changed since the usual suspects reported it.Cavani
Rashford-----Fernandes------Sancho
-----Saul-Niguez-----Neves-------
----Shaw------Maguire---Varane----Wan-Bissaka
De Gea
Would you think we could get two if pogba leaves though?Could see us getting one of those midfield two but not both, still cannot tell what type of MF we are actually going to target if Pogba leaves because have been linked to both pure DM's & playmaker types who sit deep.

Neither of those 2 are as good as people think they are.Saul-Niguez-----Neves
Highly unlikely as think we may try out Donny as a playmaker when he leaves and focus on signing a proper DMWould you think we could get two if pogba leaves though?
Having been impressed him in the Euros and now this YT vid, I’m now convinced he’s the imposing, positionally solid, technically sound CM/CDM we’ve been missing (our Rodri, Casemiro, Fabinho).Have you guys ever heard of Joao Palhinha from Sporting? All-Around Deep Lying Play Making Anchor. Definitely fits the bill, can play solo DM with ease w/o the need of a partner.
No rumors or links with him thus far, but he is the type of player that we should be taking a closer look at.
