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

Ref was my man of the match....we usually don't get much from officials but tonight he definitely was on our side...we do seriously need to sign strikers that can finish…it would make a huge difference

I wonder if we could get that ref to officiate some of our games in the premier league.

Thought that was an excellent performance from United, so many players were really on it.

De Ligt, Heaven, Casemiro all had very good games. Dorgu was excellent too, constant threat and draws loads of fouls. His shooting was cack though, a theme for the team.

Thought Zirkzee was excellent aside from his finishing although to be fair the keeper made a great save from his late effort. Garnacho had a better game although his decision making is still lacking. Better on the right than the left though. Hojlund as others have said had a great game even without scoring, that assist was superb.

And what can you say about Bruno. He's taken a shed load of criticism and then puts in a performance like that. Outstanding.

PS Dalot is still a donkey. Imagine how much better we'd be if we had another Dorgu on the right!

Welp, United miss out on their apparent priority rwb target with Chelsea swooping in for quenda. Bitterly disappointing as it doesn't paint our recruitment efforts in a good light.

Yeah, if the club allow it! We just going to ignore missing out on a player we apparently thought we had in the bag? A key target from the managers former club, and we still get blindsided.

Theres surely a less experienced more expensive kid in Serie A. Be grand.

We know he’s no Szoboszlai but what a boy he is for us.

This is what happens when you believe everything you read.

I'd imagine every club was interested in him, united were also reported to have sent scouts to watch him in February if that's true I doubt they had agreed a deal with the player.

I don't think we will see many 50m signings this summer and if we do it will more than likely be on a goal scorer.

Had a personal preference for an upgrade at RWB to be right-footed so I’m not bothered. Won’t be able to get every wonderkid, especially at that price.

Chelsea willing to pay that on a player to immediately loan back. Chelsea aren’t short players but would think he’d be straight in the squad given his versatility if he would warrant reasonable game time. He may turn into a brilliant player yet but United need to prioritise.

Also no United player in the England squad (bar Rashford)

Can't be many squads in living memory with no active United players

I'm surprised Maguire didn't make the squad. Due back at the weekend so figured he could be in it and has just not been selected.
