Manchester United Teamtalk/Transfer/Gossip 23/24 - [New Thread Available]

above is a typo - it should say 'two' midfielders.

he didn't have two workhorses in front of him.

he'd Casemiro, and midfielders around him who could keep the ball high up the pitch, and they could generally play a higher line.

but maybe I'm wrong.

The thing is if we don't start winning silverware our best players will start getting impatient.

I agree that we will need to play 2 holders because Pogba and Bruno aren't the robust pressing number 8s you need to make a 433 work however you could certainly improve on the 2 in there . Can you imagine how much better we would be with this team and a prober coach

De Gea

W.Bissaka Varane Mcguire Shaw

Kante Jorginho

Greenwood Bruno Sancho or Rashford

Ronaldo

I agree . We are too top heavy. It just goes to show there's no plan. Cavani was basically told lies in the summer so he'd stay.

The only way Ole gets sacked is if it's mathematically impossible to make top 4.

The new contracts for the entire coaching team prove that there is absolutely no intention to change manager. And have absolutely no intention to win things.

I hope Ronaldo hands in a transfer request in January. Because he's not winning anything at Man Utd and it saddens me seeing the greatest ever player waste his twilight years here.

But yet people will continue to support the Glazers and fund their cash cow.

The difference is that Jose was proving to be very high maintenance, he was falling out with players and calling out the club for not getting a centre back. That was all compounded by poor performances.

The Glazers adore Ole because he is the anthesis of José. He will never fall out with anyone and will never say a bad word about the club. Now the squad is so good that it can't possibly not make top 4. We'll accumulate enough points in the upcoming fixtures to stay in the hunt. There's absolutely no reason to sack him from the Glazers point of view.

They don't care if we get knocked out of the CL at the group stage. We did last year and he was safe.

People won't like this but I'm 95% sure Ole will be our manager next season.

This is how it is, until people actually start boycotting the club, but we know that will never happen.

Does he play the same role as Pogba i.e attacking midfielder?

CDM but he also tends to get his fair share of goals as well - haven’t seen loads of him but I believe he’s a box to box type of midfielder.

There is a write up about him here that should help: https://sempremilan.com/formation-evolution-and-a-changed-role-how-kessie-has-become-one-of-serie-as-best-midfielders

The ideal signing so. Watch him go to Spurs now.

I thought Kessie was really good against us last season. Proper bossed the midfield in both games even if he faded out towards the end of the second leg I felt. He has that ability to look like he has far more time on the ball than he actually does, a thing we badly miss in the middle.

Renato Sanches is another id like us to look at. Seems to be finally showing his promise at Lille and looked great for Portugal in the Euros. Lille, like a lot of the Ligue 1 clubs aren’t in the best financial situation so he could be picked up at a bargain price.

I've always viewed him as kind of a Fred type player, similar strengths and weaknesses.

I'd be the same as that really yeah from watching him not exactly an incredible amount of times but probably enough over the past couple of years to form the opinion

I wasnt comparing him to Kante abilitywise. Just as describing what type of midfielder he is. Obviously he is a discount version of Kante.
