Manchester United Thread 25/26 - Teamtalk/Transfers/Gossip Mod Note in OP 26.09.24

According to Amorim sales need to be made.

Hopefully Rashford and Anthony keep up the form and earn us 50m+, Sancho will be 25m if I remember correctly. I think Garnacho is a gonner too so another 60-70m, Malacia Im guessing 10m? The usual kids being sold for a few million each we should have a healthy transfer budget.

Easier said than done obviously.

Rashford and Sancho alone are on massive wages so not just the sale of them wages free will be huge for us.

Sancho 25mil (250k a week)

Rashford 40-45mil (325k a week)

Anthony 20-30mil (120ish a week)

Saying we hit top sale value that's 100mil

Wages saved is nearly 36.5mil in wages alone.

We are about 300mil(ish) in debt with transfers owed so only Rashford would be true profit, while being the highest earner and the most we could get for this summer.

Still crazy money off the books on all 3.

Casemiro will stay till the end of his contract on 325k no doubt and won't go anywhere.

In the championship…

Leicester and Southampton looked great in the championship last year but their players look like they are miles off the level this year.

Trafford's age profile might fit but nothing else does. You can't take a keeper from a championship team and throw them in at Utd simple as.

He'd be eaten alive. And no even if Burnley are in the PL and letting goals in there won't be a tiny fraction of the level of scrutiny that a Utd keeper faces.

All I can say is Trafford's last showing at this level did nothing to suggest he'd be a Utd level keeper. And he won't be cheap either

I dont see any point in keeping Garnacho. Even if he was model pro, he’s not suited to 10 or wingback. Cash in and buy players who fit.

Also I’m sure the whispers in Jan of Mainoo being available is ‘no smoke without fire’. Feck sentiment. Get a big transfer fee and buy players who fit the system.

United have a huge amount of young talent. But no point hanging on to them if they are not going to be first team players. They either save money (not having to buy a player) or generate money so you can get the right players.

Europa league would be a huge bonus to get into CL and be able to attract the best players (in particular Isak who would be the perfect proven 9). Any one of 5 or 6 have an equal chance of winning it, including United. Last year you had to beat Liverpool and City to win the FA Cup and there is no-one of that calibre in the EL. Of course United could lose to anyone also.

Dibling yes anyday, the others no.

Direct cover for Amad? I guess the issue would be putting funds into a non-priority position.

Cuhna for the no.10 or striker role id like us to look at.

Seen his name mentioned alright. I’ve thought the benefits of having strong footed, aggressive wing backs has shown in Dorgu already. Bit worried that the likes of a Quenda (or Dibling) on the right won’t be the greatest, particularly combined with Diallo also looking to cut in from at RAM. Trusting Amorim to gauge the best for the team though.

I wonder what player will cause an error leading to Fulhams opener.

Can't say I've seen Dorgu do anything close to say this yet. Been ok. Hasn't come in and had 5 assists or something incredible. He has plenty of time on his side but seems just like any new signing.

The left side just seems a whole lot better so far. Not saying he's a world beater but he offers a lot more so far than what we've seen previously

I'd rest a few today personally. I know we need every avenue possible to get into Europe but I think the Europa league suits us better.
