    For Ronaldo there are literally 1000s of players signed that dont make it so that’s a strange analogy to make.

    What are you basing your “Dalot will surprise a lot of people” comment on? Have you seen him play?(difficult considering he has so few senior appearances)

    Dalot could be the next Rafael da Silva in that he progresses into being 1st choice RB..........or he could be the next Guillermo Varela


    Obviously we all hope hes more Rafael than Varela but theres no way to know at this stage.

    He is basing it on nothing, all he has done this summer from what I have seen is a set up for his main course during the season.

    Some positive news to start the new thread:

    https://twitter.com/BILD_Sport/status/1026933259907751936

    Boateng tells Mourinho he's not coming.

    I know it's Bild but let's just be positive and hope it's true.

    If we don't get Toby in or a really good cb and just pay the cash then you'd assume there's doubts about Mourinho and an unwillingness to back him any longer.

    seen him play against liverpool.

    he just looks ready, he is big, strong and fast already, has the body type of a much older player, thats why i think he will surprise a few, because they are not expecting much.

    Plenty of others here setting up their "main course" as you put it too. Expect the "Jose wasn't backed" excuse after any and all sh*t performances over the coming season.

    I’m somewhere in the middle on this. The squad is not good enough to challenge for the league this season and more additions should have been made.

    However the putrid football is at Jose’s door.

    It’s all pretty depressing from where I’m sitting.

    “Dalot will surprise a lot of people” “he just looks ready”

    That sounds like something someone who has extensively scouted the player would say not someone who bases it on the above.

    Yes to Toby, no to Mina.

    Plus, why sign another CB who isn't exactly what we need? Jose chose to sign Bailly and Lindelof, plus he seems to rate Rojo, Smalling and Jones to some extent.

    'The club cannot continue stockpiling defenders' - Whether Woodward actually said it or not, the sentiment is true. Signing two defenders at this stage, especially if one is Mina, would be overkill.

    he was very good when he played against liverpool and he wasnt even playing on his strong side.

    strong in the air, fast, well built, and going by comments here a lot dont think he is up to much so thats why i said i think he will surprise a few people

    Don't think anyone actually thinks that or said they think that. He's a young, relatively untested player at the required level, simple as that. That he's regarded as having a lot of potential is great- he could be the next Cafu, but just as easily he could be the next Luke Shaw...

    I was going to say, it's actually much easier to read someone being optimistic about something here at this stage rather than the doom and gloom. It's the start of a new season and all anyone can talk about on here is how much better Liverpool are than United.

    United still have a very good squad and for the first time in a few years will have players in the most important positions who have more than 12 months experience together for the most part so should look better. I just have a good feeling about this season once the other players from the WC get up to speed.

    I think it’s a no brainer for them after probably playing hardball.

    Less than two days left. Take £40 million for a player who the manager most likely won’t play and has shown the club can manage without, or refuse and be stuck with him until January at least and lose him for a hell of a lot less or worse for noth8ng in the summer.

    If he was a regular last season then maybe there’s a case but Levy won’t cut off his nose to spite his face. Cash in the chips when you can.

    Utd have left it this long that I think they should hold their nerve now and they’ll get the player.
