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

I think he means Vardy

As the back ups back up I would, absolutely not as a starter.

Decent player, had him in mind myself but can't see the club paying the money Brentford want for a player (with Mbeumo going they'll dig their heels in) who'll be 29 in 3 months.

The problem with Hojlund isn't so much his age, it's his experience.

Between United, Atalanta and Denmark, in the last 3 seasons alone. He's knocked in 44 goals. It's not a great total, but acceptable for a young lad.

The problem is that he's played 154 matches most of 4/5 of which have been international/PL games. He's may be young but he's not inexperienced. And he certainly hasn't improved. in fact in almost every aspect he's arguably gotten worse.

That's the worry, 3 seasons and getting worse instead of getting better, despite plenty of opportunities.

You'd hope he'd come good, but it's increasingly looking like he's a busted flush.

It's obvious who he's talking about... Chris Wood.

Hang on, it said we're more supported than Liverpool and Arsenal, but what about City? Surely they must have colossal support in order to generate all that income of theirs?

Need an INEOS sponsorship for 100m.....

Think you may have missed the part about potential to be good Vs finished product as opposed to yamal who is fully the finished product already at 17 while still having potential to be even better. He would come in and have the ability now to hit the numbers we need

i didnt think barce would go for rashford, but this would certainly be the final nail in that coffin.

the only clubs i can see (where there is a good chance of starting) that he may want are bayern and atleti - other clubs that are interested, i dont he would want to move to.

t'will be a long summer sage i fear, which will prob end in another loan.

Barcelona, meanwhile, met with Williams on Friday regarding a potential move to the Catalan region. A matter of moments after that was reported, Lamine Yamal shared a picture of him and Williams together.

In that case, if Williams were to leave Bilbao, then he would prefer to stay in La Liga and would open the door to Barcelona - as long as they are interested in formalising the deal and triggering his release clause. Williams is close friends to several players in the Barca dressing room and would, seemingly, welcome that option.

Yep and I saw this yesterday and the eyes rolled into the back of my head

Not sure how reliable Ben Jacobs is (below Ornstein & Ducker I don't keep track), but he reckons that although Spurs are interested in Mbeumo, the player still refers a move to United.

Also says that United never made a second formal bid (as others reported) but will be doing so shortly after ongoing discussions.

ornstein already said he chose us over spurs. maybe frank going to spurs influences that.

i didnt think we had made a 2nd bid? more so we are negotiating with brentford so when the 2nd bid is put it has already been accepted.

EXCL: Bryan Mbuemo decides he wants to join Man Utd & #MUFC now expected to open talks with Brentford in bid to sign 25yo forward this summer. Likes of #AFC #NUFC #THFC all interested but Cameroon int’l favours Old Trafford if deal agreed @TheAthleticFC

United teasing a big reveal of Cunha's shirt number. Most expected it to be the number 10 but are they holding off on that until Rashford leaves?

Every man and his dog knows that he's done at United but to strip his number would really wave the flag saying "we're desperate to shift him, will accept some Tesco vouchers and a fill of petrol".
