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

Yeh, true enough. Dalot too has played LB but it's not a big ask to sign a dedicated LB.

No player is worth a £100M but unfortunately that's the way things have gone but why would he be decent for Spurs and not for United?

Anyone else not keen on Tonali after the betting thing?

Much rather Fernandes

City looking at Tonali as well as Anderson, this thread will be fun after they drop 230m on 2 players 😅

85m is absolutely crazy. It should be closer to 50m. We can give them 60m and 85m if he wins us a premier or CL, or scores 40 goals in his first season.

I can't see any official quote from Romano saying £100m. I think that's some fake news bullshlttery.

This was from Romano on the 8th and I can't see anything reliable saying otherwise.

I suspect it'll be done and dusted around the £65-70m mark with some add ons. If as reported, Fernandes has made his desire clear, then it's just a matter of time.

Crazy how Barcelona paid £70m for Gordon but don’t want to pay £35m for Rashford

30m euro even I think!

Yeah Barcelona could have had him for as little as €30m, he is apparently available to most English clubs for an asking price of £40m (and they could most likely negotiate 25% less due to the circumstances) and yet there's sod all substantial interest thus far is very telling.

Bags of talent but his poor attitude and application will see what should have been a fantastic career drift off into obscurity.

I fully expect him to linger through until the last day of the window before skulking off on loan somewhere with us covering a chunk of his wages.

Why buy the cow when you got the milk for free comes to mind.

Fans don't get excited about paying big money for a player that is already at the club.

I can see Barcelona's point of view but also this is why we shouldn't loan out established players without the obligation to buy.

I don't think its an obsession. Its more pointing out Rashfords state of mind re United. He obviously feels everyone except Utd has helped get him where he is. He'll never be welcomed back to the club as a legend and that's something he's gonna have to live with. Although we've already seen on this very thread people talking up Anthony Martial like he wasn't a lazy waste of space he gave very little in return for the massive money he was paid. But online is very different to the reaction of the crowd at OT, and the OT crowd weren't exactly fully behind Rashford before he left.
