Manchester United Thread 25/26 - Teamtalk/Transfers/Gossip Mod Note in OP 12.02.26

Todays waffle, mostly decent sources, some very worrying links, Berge in particular.

United are currently FOCUSING their efforts on Mateus Fernandes, also of West Ham, as talks through his agent Jorge Mendes ADVANCE, with personal terms not anticipated to prove an issue. #MUFC [@David_Ornstein]————

mufc are paying serious attention to Crysencio Summerville, and have enquired about his situation. He ranks high among the options for left-wing.

United will be aware that it is expected to cost approximately £50m [@David_Ornstein]—————-

ManchesterUnited’s midfielder Manuel #Ugarte has been offered to #ACMilan. Coach Amorim knows him since they were together at SportingCP. No talks ongoing yet, but just a proposal. #transfers #MUFC

@NicoSchira ————————

As things stand, Marcus Rashford will return to #mufc next month and it is unclear whether a move happens before the window comes to a close.

Another switch to Barca is not completely discounted, nor the idea of fellow European sides pursuing the England attacker, although United intend only to entertain permanent solutions. [@David_Ornstein]——————

Manchester United have explored a move for Leeds United goalkeeper Karl Darlow, who will become a free agent this summer.

Sam Johnstone is another option, with two years remaining on his deal at Wolves.

——————

Fulham midfielder Sander Berge is another player that #mufc are considering signing. Fulham would want to make a profit on the £25m they paid two years ago. [@TheAthleticFC

——————

Manchester United’s interest in Lewis Hall remains, although Newcastle United are not looking to sell.

United may still seek to strengthen the left-wing rather than left-back, with Patrick Dorgu able to cover either position.

[@TheAthleticFC] #MUFC——————

Manchester United are OPEN TO LISTENING TO OFFERS for Manuel Ugarte and Joshua Zirkzee.

[@TheAthleticFC] #MUFC

——————-

A £40m clause available to all, EXCEPT Liverpool & Man City to sign Marcus Rashford.

A number of PL teams have expressed interest IN SIGNING him.

His preference is to honour the remaining 24 months at United RATHER THAN JOIN ANOTHER English team.

[@David_Ornstein] #MUFC——————

Andre Onana is SET TO RETURN to Carrington when training resumes next month following his loan spell at Trabzonspor.

Trabzonspor's president, Ertugrul Dogan, has expressed a desire to RE-SIGN Onana.

There is NOT MUCH INTEREST from other parties.

[@David_Ornstein] #MUFC——————

The fruits were never coming. He didn’t have it in him. He will be remembered for his time at United as a quitter and not much more. As much as he wants to blame the club, that’s on him.

“I deserved more time and more backing to show what this team could have become.”

Funny how it took Carrick just two games to show what the team could do, convincingly beating City and a big win away to Arsenal. Then went on to make that 4 wins in a row. Something Amorim could never achieve.

Miracles? Nobody wanted miracles, but winning a few football games would have been very nice.

Some of you are still very fond of him. He’s a charming guy, he had me for a long time, but at the end of the day he was a lot more bark than bite at United. He won’t get away with “first we need to suffer” comments in Milan. Good luck to him (sincerely), hopefully he does well for his own sake and his future as a coach.

Amorim is taking up a new role at a different club. He isn't going to begin there by admitting he underperformed at his last job. He would undermine himself at his new club right from the start. The narrative that he was on the verge of greatness but was undermined is better for him when it comes to inspiring confidence. The one thing he could have done without any cost to himself was thank the fans for the support he received.

Playing Bruno out of his best position was a big mark against Amorim for me

But he clearly did good stuff as well in terms of cleaning up the culture. The progress always looked very fragile rather than a solid consistent trend for me. But let's be honest it's a tough job so no shame in it not working out or being a fit, doesn't make him a bad manager, just not right for what we need

He didn't have to talk about his old club at all, beyond vague platitudes about thanking the players but focusing on his new club now.

Instead he has a whinge about miracles and not getting backed. He didn't have to say any of that, but like I said its very on brand for the guy who repeatedly **** on his own players in media interviews. He can't resist any opportunity to blame everybody but himself.

We should take him?

Clearly MC is really JC having performed the miracle of winning a few marches

All this chat over fake amorim quotes.

Oh my.

Were they fake? My fault - should have checked.

Yeah I haven't seen any amorim comments anywhere online a paper from here and one or two dodge twitter folk.

Just goes to show how easy it is to go all in one made up news.

My memory of Amorin was when we were under pressure in penalty shootouts he was hiding in the dugouts with his head in his hands, first time I seen it I started thinking this club is too big for this manager. Couldn't believe what I was looking at

Óle in line for the Ipswich job.

90 mins for Licha last night for Argentina. Messi's hattrick was a joy to behold.
