Unfortunately I suspect the hierarchy at Juventus don't make their footballing decisions based on Nike's advertising or the stats in computer games.
Read that. Not sure how much football the writer of that article has seen wan bissaka play. His attcking play is an area that needs development and as for playing in midfield as a right sided midfielder, ive never seen him deployed there while at Utd.On a similar note, here's an article from a real madrid fan channel suggesting that they could give us Varane and get Greenwood or Wan Bissaka in exchange

As opposed to those charming sweet gentlemen in Italian teams?Why is Ronaldo returning still being considered? He's 36, doesn't need to return to a league where he would have to contribute here and there and be brutalized by thuggish defenders. He's near the end of his career and needs a slower league where he would bang in a couple of goals before jetting off to the US to live out his fantasy celebrity dream.
I posted that article sort of as a wind up, cos the author comes across like he has looked up 'good young manchester united players' on football manager and considered his research done. Imagine buying wan bissaka to use him in midfield! Imagine thinking there's a chance in hell we'd let greenwood go for less than a world record bid! It's an example of how fans can see the possibility of swap deals which is absolutely implausible to anyone with more detailed knowledge of things.Read that.

As for Greenwood, not a chance in hell. Pogba? Fill your boots.
We’re building a team that isn’t, or shouldn’t, be reliant on one player. Why ruin that by signing Ronaldo who at his current age does score a lot but contributes little else to the overall match and would need to become the focus of all our play to get the best out of him?just a thought I’ve had. We all know Martial is inconsistent, there’s no knowing which version of himself shows up in a season yet immensely talented and valuable.
...with there being reports/rumours that Martial would be open to joining a new club - which I’m fairly certain United would not mind doing as long as they have the adequate cover (the only thing stopping them from doing so imho) - what’s stopping both United & Juventus from swapping the 2 players?
Martial would go to a top club in a new country to rejuvenate his career. Ronaldo would come back to OT with a final kick at the can to win major trophies/accolades. Juventus get financial relief not to mention 10 years younger. United get arguably the worlds best striker who’s nearing the end of his playing career to help propel them to their final evolution as a core/team AKA to put it all together and start winning competitions.
is there any reason, from the players to the clubs, that you can think of why this wouldn’t work? Seems like it would be a rare win-win scenario all around.
He'd still be top scorer in the Premier League. I'd easily take Ronaldo for a season or two. At some point you have to just let go of reason and live with football romance you know. Ronaldo coming home is the dream of dreams.Maybe it's just me but I'd hate to have Ronaldo back now. He had his prime years in Madrid and is on ridiculous wages. Plus he's not that good anymore.
Dafuq.De Light is on too high wages and has the baggage of Raiola. Besides, his dad is fat.
You haven't seen his dad yet, have you?Dafuq.
No. Is he De Heavy?You haven't seen his dad yet, have you?

The fact it's unlikely Juventus would see Martial as worth such an exchange.just a thought I’ve had. We all know Martial is inconsistent, there’s no knowing which version of himself shows up in a season yet immensely talented and valuable.

It really shouldn’t happen. We should be looking forward not backward. Great, great player. Arguably the greatest, but I’d hate to see him milking us for money and showing us a shadow of his old self. He’d be a big disappointment for most people.But of course would be great to see him in a United shirt again, but many reasons why it won't happen.
No. Is he De Heavy?
You do know he is 44 though Utd. people?Ronaldo would be great here if, and that's a big if, he accepts being a Zlatan/Cavani type figure that doesn't play every game all the time. Unleash him of the left every now and then and that's a title winning player.
Still better than Martial.You do know he is 44 though Utd. people?
