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

for people that travel over regularly lads how long would it take by taxi to get from OT to Manchester airport after a match ye think?

Villa will more than likely cough up the 40 mil now.

Would Villa pay him his current wage though?

Villa got burned on Coutinho after a successful loan spell, so they’ll be wary enough. Goals though may mean there’ll be interest elsewhere which could drive the price up. But nobody will pay his current wages, so MU will have to use part of the transfer fee to make up the difference.

He had gone 11 games without a goal I believe.

He’s working hard, and he’s been playing well.

When you’ve got that mentality, the goals come with the good the performances.

Goals were never the issue with Rashford, it was his attitude, he was coasting with us. He was in a funk, and id say he got a massive shock when he was frozen out, and that’s obviously the jolt he needed.

Right now, he needs to be practical, if he carries on like the way Jessie Lingard did after his loan to WHU, I think his career is over, but if he’s practical, and doesn’t just chase the money, he might be able to engineer a decent move for himself, and if continues to work hard and mange his expectations, he might just have a successful end to his career,

Can't really seeing him enjoying it as much in Ipswich. Think he has spoken about the non footballing side of the move and said how much he likes it over there. It's a factor. I would be just glad to see us get a half decent fee for him from Betis.

From last night's Seville derby… proper freedom, in a good way this time.

Interesting that Chido is back with the U18 squad for the FA Youth Cup game tonight, but Amass is staying with the senior side - given Chido has had way more involvement in the senior side (and wasn't in the squad for the Arsenal game last round).

Assuming Dorgu starts left, Dalot right - if Mazraoui isn't starting in the back three it feels odd Amass is being kept up.

I guess it might be too soon to start Maguire or Yoro, Heaven, Evans and Martinez out - so Mazraoui, MDL and Lindelof back 3? Would make the Amass retention make sense.

Ipswich was just a joke, was comparing the cities and the way of life in both countries. I think he seems a lot more suited to Spain both on and off the the field. I'm not sure a PL loan would have been the right move.

Yip, it was the Southampton game and we were 1 nil down at the time. Seemed impossible to miss it.

Up stepped Amad with his late hattrick.

JJ Gabriel travelled with the squad. Wonder if he will be involved.

Just watching the u18 game here it's fairly clear obi is a talent but he is nowhere near ready to be starting for the first team. His link up play and awareness of those around him wouldn't be the best. A loan move in summer might do him world of good. He is definitly a bit too good for youth football.
