Really don't feel its an exaggeration to say if United can get a few more sales over the line, sign Ugarte and another CM/ST cover that this summer could be the best our club has had in over a decade.
As a genius at recruitment we won't sign another striker unfortunately. Mount this season will cover the 8/10 & false 9 positions. Need to try signing Ferdi kadıoğlu..but Brighton are favourites would also have to sell Mctominay most likely to have enough cash he's around £25/30m. I have No doubt Ugarte will sign on loan with obligation to buy. My striker list goes 11 deep and we got the guy I wanted in Zirkzee my second choice was Solanke. The cheap option was Guirassy plus he was experienced but yeah Dortmund snapped him up lol
Need LB big time so Shaw can be a back up LCB he's a better option then Evans who should be 3rd choice LCB. The RCB options are top notch Yoro De Ligt maguire but I do know De Ligt can play LCB comfortably.
Hey Sam, I don't think we need ST cover. We have Hojlund and Zirkzee with Bruno now playing in that pocket with Mount behind. I think our key positions are DM, CM cover for Mainoo and LB. Lief Davis is one that comes to mind for LB, Ugarte for DM, and I have no idea who CM. Would be, but that's what I think would complete us for this window
*Finally rewatched the Game* Our best signing class for over 10years 1.Mazraoui starting, plus the bench quality coming on (Garnacho,Zirkzee and Delith) 2.I did not realize how big Zirkzee was and he was triple pressed on every possession, obviously he was no secret to Marco Silva. 3.We the fans have every reason to be excited this season, I encourage everyone to re watch this game. *Just watch the bench quality.*

(this is where we definitly need a player who can also play at lcb; Hermoso free might be a good one) DM: Casemiro-Ugarte CM: Mainoo-Collyer (might need a back up for mainoo, but it isnt necessary) CAM: Bruno-Mount RW: Amad-Antony ST: Zirkzee-Hojlund LW: Garnacho-Rashford That squad if they stay fit can easily get top 4. The quality in it is criminal to not get top 4.
Maz and Dalot can both cover LB. We'll be playing three at the back in possession, with one of the defenders either slotting into a double pivot or Dalot or Maz to operate as a RWB when Amad operates in the right channel.
I’d still want another LB personally. Even if it’s another short term loan. We currently have 3 full backs covering 2 positions. One of which has a history of injuries. Shaw hopefully will be fit some day. And Malacia the same. I’m not convinced Amass is ready yet. Leaves a hole imo
Ugarte + a LB plus getting rid of McTominay, Lindelof, Anthony, Sancho, Casemiro & Hannibal makes it absolutely perfect window and definitely the best this century

This is not open heart surgery, the players who have left are all obvious end of contract or players who were not in the starting squad. We have sold no one of significance, open heart would be removing Lindelof, Maguire, sancho, Mctominey, Casemiro, Ericsson and I would make a sacrifice as well in Rashford to show no one is bigger than the club.

We need more quality in depth in the midfield. Oyedele has a football brain and skills. He is very composed on the ball even under pressure and is quick when he seeks a chance to take the tackle and can beat the press.ETH needs to keep and use Oyedele to play in the early group stage of the Europa or Cup to gain more first-team experience. No need to repeat Pogba's mistake.

Left back is more important than striker in my opinion. With Shaw and Malacia constantly injured I think it's more necessary. Especially with Ten Haag's 4-2-4 I think we're covered upfront with Mount, Fernandes, Zirkzee and Hojlund. Maybe give Ethan Wheatley some chances too.
A good comparison stat would be the players we missed out on during those post Fergie, Ed Wankwood led TF windows. That would really balance out the horror of the past 10 years. Agreed this summer is a huge improvement. Finally feeling hopeful for the season ahead. C'mon United!
Definitely agree with the overall points here but 'LCM' cover is kind of a strange way of putting it. It's more of a 'number 8' cover. Indeed we have number 10 cover for Bruno in Mount. And number 6 cover for Ugarte in Casemiro and Collyer. But indeed no cover for Mainoo who's pretty much our only natural 8.
Probably because we have Shaw, Malacia and Amass there, and Dalot and Mazraoui can also play LB. And also I don't think it's quite as much of a critical position as some of the other positions, like CDM or striker.
@@JoeBob79569 Shaw and Malacia are injured. Amass is young and Mazzouroui should not be pressured. Try to use Antony in the meantime because at least he has defensive capabilities which United are lacking right now. Bring Hermoso if he is available for free.
No way We want to get rid of these troublesome characters yet we are being in more in!!! Crazy 🤪 He slags his club of on holiday constantly Always flirts with a move away He won’t want to be second choice and can see him being toxic to our other 3 strikers, Rasmus, zirkzee and chido And his betting scandal still lingers over his head…
If this summer's transfer window proves to be the best since Sir Alex Ferguson's era, it may signal a pivotal moment where the choices made today redefine the club's future legacy.
love UPTV but this video gave me a headache. never left a graphic on screen for long enough to understand or take it all in. just lot of transitions and choppin and changing!
I think, it's better to focus on getting the Ugarte deal done ASAP and focus on the footballing side. In my opinion, transfer sagas can be dramatic and can unsettle moods in the camp. Some players can be moved on and some should just be seeing out their contracts because they can serve as good squad players for a season (e.g.hannibal and ericksen for mainoo) This will also create a good path for some good academy players to come through.
What I’m most positive about is if Lindelof, Sancho, Pellistri (confirmed), Wheatley (loan), Hannibal all leave we have a great balance of depth and quality. It’s the central midfield and defensive midfield which is currently over stacked with numbers but lacks quality. Personally I would’ve liked if we sold Casemiro and brought in Ugarte&Amrabat. Then sold Eriksen, McTominay & Gore to find someone like a FDJ.
Mount and Mainoo should be splitting that role all season.. Mainoo shouldn’t be playing 50+ games at his age.. he will be burned out.. Mount has to play there or it’s 60 down the drain as he isn’t ever starting as a 10
I still think we got the Joao Neves situation all wrong. Considering how much PSG paid for him we massively missed out on an opportunity there. I believe he will be the one that got away and we will be thinking of what could have been... If we had to sign him as early as we did Yoro and now be figuring out how to sign Mazraoui and de Ligt going into the final week of the transfer window. It wouldnt have been that difficult considering de Ligt agreed to personal terms fairly easy and Mazraoui moving was determined by AWB leaving.
My problem with our midfield is we still don't have someone to give those Hollywood passes. That is the only aspect of Mainoo's games that he needs to develop. You look at Arsenal they've Odegard and Partey from deep midfield. United has just Bruno, maybe Csemiro but if he drops to the bench, who do we have to unlock opportunities with these passes?
Do you not get it, he’s a sellable asset personally he should have gone years ago not need better strength in depth mcshite has been here for too long and has only had one decent season out of 6 if you want to climb higher up the table you need better players
Honestly speaking i would prefer casemiro to ugarte because of the passing ability casemiro has over ugarte which can allow casemiro to act like a deep line playmaker which would be wonder in our 4-2-4 setup
Ugarte on loan with an obligation to buy will be great bit of business & unless Eriksen & McTominay leave i highly doubt we'll sign another midfielder. Signing another LB is unlikely to happen unfortanately although we might revisit that area in January if Shaw is still struggling. All in all a window of Zirkzee, Yoro, De Ligt, Mazraoui & Ugarte that is a pretty good first window under INEOS imo. Squad Goalkeepers - Onana, Bayindir, Heaton Defenders - Martinez, Yoro, De Ligt, Dalot, Mazraoui, Shaw, Amass, Maguire, Evans, Malacia, Lindelof Midfielders - Mainoo, Mount, Bruno, Casemiro, Ugarte, McTominay, Collyer, Eriksen Forwards - Hojlund, Zirkzee, Garnacho, Rashford, Amad, Sancho, Antony, Wheatley That's pretty much a very good strong squad with good depth
Bro, why is no one talking about the youngster we signed from Arsenal? That’s not even mentioned in the signing list you gave. Make me more proud to be United fan. ❤
If we do manage to sell those players especially Mctominay and get Ugarte on loan I think we wack a big fee on the table for Branthwhaite/Wharton or Ferguson on the last couple days of the window. 3 young players Ineos wants.
If we can get 2 midfielders and Ivan Toney and sell the players like McTominay, Maguire, Lindelof and Eriksen then we have to push for the Premier League title. Maybe another LB since neither Shaw and Malacia can stay and Alvaro and Amass aren't ready for the first team.
I think you have it wrong. I think Mount is playing up there because of injuries and a lack of other options. Mount and Ten Hag both said he was an 8 when we signed him. Also, Zirkzee is not a striker, hes a CAM. Therefore, we need a striker!
@@TomJ_3 What an insightful response 👏 Mount and Ten Hag have both actually said themselves that he is a number 8. Zirkzee played the vast majority of his games for Bologna in a number 10, rather than a number 9 role 👍
They have opened up the chest and put the defibrillator in, but we have quite stitched up the wound yet, so the heart is being correctly but we are still in danger. The recovering will be long and maybe painfully at times, but ultimately, the body will be in better condition
I think mact is one of the few clutch players we got .... Not saying he should not be sold.... But just scared about the goals .cuzz those finishes when we need with rashfotf out of form idk who is gonna scorr them
Disagree. After Ugarte, if there is an urgency for us, it is at LB. You cannot go into the season with Dalot as the starting LB and hoping that a 17yo Amass will be able to cover. A LB on loan is compulsory.
I think so far it's mainly due to player contracts running out, and previously United would give them a bumber new deal even when the majority of the time they didnt even deserve an extension never mind a pay increase, Phil Jones getting a new contract whilst he was still injured comes to mind. Ineos at least are not that stupid. However i question if they are ruthless enough when it comes to players like Maguire and Rashford who must go. But they also have their difficulties because they're trying to get rid of players on huge contracts that they didn't originally give. Radcliffe said it would take a few transfer windows and I think that's easy to see, so got to he patient. As long as the players all stay fit and we finally have a consistent style of play, ideally keeping the ball and attacking. Or maybe a deep lying player maker. LCM: id probably go for a box to box physical (tall) midfielder to win duels in the air and carry the ball forward as rotation option. Striker- id only want a striker whos known for their professionalism and experience rather than ego and huge salary. Im thinking a Henrick Larson type striker who we signed years ago. Left back option, easy Kadioglu is the only one i want.
We’re still an injury or 2 away from playing the same as last year. We need another CB, LB, Ugarte and another MF. We wont be different while Harry and Lindalof are in the squad. Sancho needs to go for the dressing room control and either Scot or Erikson to bring in a 2nd MF
If Ugarte is a loan (wotb), I'd keep Mctominay, don't personally like the idea of him leaving still, even though I know he's not perfect. A committed youth player, physical, determined, can get a goal. I'd move on eriksen, then I think we have enough there. Mount can play a bit deeper in certain games as well, particularly if ugarte is there (eg cover for mainoo role). Like others have said, I'd still want another left back. It was a really big issue yesterday that affected the whole team, and we're starting the seasons again without a left back. The two guys have serious injury records, we can't rely on them... And we can't have only 2 fit full backs playing 90 mins each game.... They'll get injured!
Buying another striker would be fucking ridiculous. We shouldn’t sell Erikson, 5 million is not worth what his cover for Kobbie would be. It’s only left back which would make any sense after Ugarte, if it makes any sense at all. We can always keep our money for another day.
Get Toney ,Ugarte and LB then we good...sell all Mctominay, Lindelof Eriksen Pellistri and Hannibal and the like...loan out Sancho with obligation then we good to go 9/10 window
I agree with almost everything you said but ur squad building isn’t accurate imo cos our FB position (left and right), is one more injury away from being a crisis. So, I’d say if we miraculously get Ugarte on loan and sell all those players u mentioned, a CM and FB is priority.
There is nothing Casemiro would do to earn Praise from Sam. Casemiro easily has been in the top 3 performers for United in the Community Shield and against Fulham. But Sam wouldn't acknowledge that. It's Cool thou. Everyone with their Opinion.
Dont agree with your logic, we are losing way too much depth. Mids are too light, we should keep scottie. Arguably his run allowed Zirkzee to find the gap and score. He isnt “man utd quality” but his work ethic and love for the club is good enough in the rebuilding phase when we also need to retain some depth.
I do not think we do not have a chance of this happen this window. Ugarte in and maybe one more (Amrabat??) and a couple more out is as much as we will do.
Psg signed ugarte for 50, his value has dropped. Both parties want to move on… we should hold firm and pay no more than 40mil. Remember we signed di Maria for 57 and a year later sold him to PSG for 44 mil 😂
We bought him for £9m. He's been at the club for 4 years, so anything above £1.8m is a profit in this years accounts. We're also reportedly putting a 40% sell-on clause in there. When he only has 1 year on his contract, it's OK. Why only £5m? This is what happens when you keep a player for too long. This is what happens when you keep sending a player out on loan year after year and they don't really impress at the lesser clubs they've been sent out on loan to. There's not much for buying clubs to buy into, they see a player who isn't good enough for top level, and his loans indicate he's not good enough for the next level down. We need to be quicker at making these decisions on young players.
Can someone please tell me which of United new signings would get into any of the top 4s teams? None of them would. I'm baffled by people suggesting this is an incredibly successful transfer season. It's lots of players but they are all average and mostly players unwanted by the their current clubs.
If we get Toney and Ugarte it’s a 9.5 out of 10. If we got another CM LB, and shifted out lidelof then Maguire we would have a 10/10 but still rate this one so high because we got young talent in all key positions we were most sorely needing imo attacker cdm if we get Ugarte Striker of a different style in Toney if we get him and a complete upgraded defensive unit… I don’t want to pigeonhole collier he’s very very versatile just just cdm imo he’s capable or more than that and I really want Toney over Mainoo cover
Yes we need a LB and another CB to cover for injuries. Harry and Lindalof cant play how we want to. An injury or 2 in Defence would completely mess up the team play.
Really don't feel its an exaggeration to say if United can get a few more sales over the line, sign Ugarte and another CM/ST cover that this summer could be the best our club has had in over a decade.
Actually I already think it is, without further signings or sales

Danny Wellbeck is for me the best option of an experienced striker who wouldn’t cost too much
I will go for a left back before considering a striker
Ivan Tony is the man
No more then 25mill for sure
No way
We want to get rid of these troublesome characters yet we are being in more in!!! Crazy 🤪
He slags his club of on holiday constantly
Always flirts with a move away
He won’t want to be second choice and can see him being toxic to our other 3 strikers, Rasmus, zirkzee and chido
And his betting scandal still lingers over his head…
Why do we need 3 starting strikers? When we only have 1 cdm
Pass
3 STs is crazy when we can’t even score. We don’t even have a left back or left cb. This optimism is so misguided😂😂😂😂
Best summer transfer since Fergie was 2016... Pogba, Ibrahimovice, Mkhitaryan, Bailly
LB is the position we need cover not a striker nor a lcdm
If this summer's transfer window proves to be the best since Sir Alex Ferguson's era, it may signal a pivotal moment where the choices made today redefine the club's future legacy.
Ugarte would make it a 10/10 first INEOS window... If we don't get a fair price for McSauce, I'd rather kept him instead; great quality squad player
Sancho needs to go even for 35m he's on high wages
love UPTV but this video gave me a headache. never left a graphic on screen for long enough to understand or take it all in. just lot of transitions and choppin and changing!
Getting rid of greenwood was the biggest mistake man united made he is the best winger at the club and hes already proving his worth at Marseille
Chris Wood as ST cover... he wants to leave Forest and he has one year left. He would bring something significantly different to our attack
In addition to ugarte, we shouid try to get Truffert from rennes for the left back in addition to retaining amrabat.
I think, it's better to focus on getting the Ugarte deal done ASAP and focus on the footballing side. In my opinion, transfer sagas can be dramatic and can unsettle moods in the camp.
Some players can be moved on and some should just be seeing out their contracts because they can serve as good squad players for a season (e.g.hannibal and ericksen for mainoo)
This will also create a good path for some good academy players to come through.
We didn't bring Bruno and Mcguire in the same window, Bruno arrived in next Jan
Get Kadioglu who can cover in the midfeikd and also play left back, he seems like a very versatile player
Evan Ferguson from Brighton, complete a striking trio, with Wheatley being blooded in the first team this year
What I’m most positive about is if Lindelof, Sancho, Pellistri (confirmed), Wheatley (loan), Hannibal all leave we have a great balance of depth and quality.
It’s the central midfield and defensive midfield which is currently over stacked with numbers but lacks quality.
Personally I would’ve liked if we sold Casemiro and brought in Ugarte&Amrabat. Then sold Eriksen, McTominay & Gore to find someone like a FDJ.
Am happy you can see that void,mainoo is always tired at 65th minute.we need strength there
Mount and Mainoo should be splitting that role all season.. Mainoo shouldn’t be playing 50+ games at his age.. he will be burned out.. Mount has to play there or it’s 60 down the drain as he isn’t ever starting as a 10
I’m still SO PISSED OFF we didn’t throw the checkbook at Vardy 7 years ago🤦♂️
This would be random but Luuk De Jong would be perfect for us along with getting in Adrien Rabiot
All united need now is ugarte, Amarabat and Ferdi kadioglu that will complete the season. And sign Hermosa as free agent
I think wat we need are CM or CDM cover, LB because we cant trust Shaw and maybe Malacia and need to prepare for his departure
Napoli and Scott would be lovely
No premier league haunting.
Rabiot , kadioglu , Ugarte , Amrabat , Toney and thats a complete squad
Pass on Toney
I still think we got the Joao Neves situation all wrong. Considering how much PSG paid for him we massively missed out on an opportunity there. I believe he will be the one that got away and we will be thinking of what could have been... If we had to sign him as early as we did Yoro and now be figuring out how to sign Mazraoui and de Ligt going into the final week of the transfer window. It wouldnt have been that difficult considering de Ligt agreed to personal terms fairly easy and Mazraoui moving was determined by AWB leaving.
My problem with our midfield is we still don't have someone to give those Hollywood passes. That is the only aspect of Mainoo's games that he needs to develop. You look at Arsenal they've Odegard and Partey from deep midfield. United has just Bruno, maybe Csemiro but if he drops to the bench, who do we have to unlock opportunities with these passes?
Y'all want Hollywood passes all of a sudden now?
De Jong
Hollywood passes are not needed at this stage. A midfield that can control a game through passing is more important.
Mainoo will improve on that don't worry about it
@@saqib7965
Mainoo improvement is not a guarantee.
Getting rid of Mctominay is madness at this point. We need to keep him. He clearly has impact as a sub.
Do you not get it, he’s a sellable asset personally he should have gone years ago not need better strength in depth mcshite has been here for too long and has only had one decent season out of 6 if you want to climb higher up the table you need better players
Hello Sam 👋🏽 Fantastic all the way moves and more moves at last we have that' structure in place and it's paying off let's Goooooooooo Utd!
Honestly speaking i would prefer casemiro to ugarte because of the passing ability casemiro has over ugarte which can allow casemiro to act like a deep line playmaker which would be wonder in our 4-2-4 setup
Ugarte on loan with an obligation to buy will be great bit of business & unless Eriksen & McTominay leave i highly doubt we'll sign another midfielder. Signing another LB is unlikely to happen unfortanately although we might revisit that area in January if Shaw is still struggling. All in all a window of Zirkzee, Yoro, De Ligt, Mazraoui & Ugarte that is a pretty good first window under INEOS imo.
Squad
Goalkeepers - Onana, Bayindir, Heaton
Defenders - Martinez, Yoro, De Ligt, Dalot, Mazraoui, Shaw, Amass, Maguire, Evans, Malacia, Lindelof
Midfielders - Mainoo, Mount, Bruno, Casemiro, Ugarte, McTominay, Collyer, Eriksen
Forwards - Hojlund, Zirkzee, Garnacho, Rashford, Amad, Sancho, Antony, Wheatley
That's pretty much a very good strong squad with good depth
Bro, why is no one talking about the youngster we signed from Arsenal? That’s not even mentioned in the signing list you gave. Make me more proud to be United fan. ❤
Nevermind, you did mention. My bad. ❤
This summer has to be the standard bearer for INEOS now.
Kante might be looking to move out of Saudi. Could be a loan deal there. Was excellent at the euros. Would be a great rotation option for this season
Sam, do you edit your videos by yourself? i really like the editing style...it always has a nicely shaped narrative to it
Don't think Eriksen will leave as he said he's family are happy in Manchester and won't look to leave.
Let's hope we can improve to get it right players need to be fit so far 2 or 3 big injuries bee struggled v Fulham
Mctominay is an option for striker , as he is used to play that for his national team
If we do manage to sell those players especially Mctominay and get Ugarte on loan I think we wack a big fee on the table for Branthwhaite/Wharton or Ferguson on the last couple days of the window. 3 young players Ineos wants.
If we can get 2 midfielders and Ivan Toney and sell the players like McTominay, Maguire, Lindelof and Eriksen then we have to push for the Premier League title. Maybe another LB since neither Shaw and Malacia can stay and Alvaro and Amass aren't ready for the first team.
I think you have it wrong. I think Mount is playing up there because of injuries and a lack of other options. Mount and Ten Hag both said he was an 8 when we signed him. Also, Zirkzee is not a striker, hes a CAM. Therefore, we need a striker!
Incorrect.
@@TomJ_3 What an insightful response 👏 Mount and Ten Hag have both actually said themselves that he is a number 8. Zirkzee played the vast majority of his games for Bologna in a number 10, rather than a number 9 role 👍
Yes, Ten hag bring in Mount to play no.8 but he got injured and Mainoo was developed. But Zirkzee is what we needed in that 424 formation.
@@adambarlow8294 Even more incorrect.
@@TomJ_3 yeah nice one troll 👍
They have opened up the chest and put the defibrillator in, but we have quite stitched up the wound yet, so the heart is being correctly but we are still in danger. The recovering will be long and maybe painfully at times, but ultimately, the body will be in better condition
Actually in the new formation we don't really need Bruno. We need another Zirkzee because Bruno would be a low budget 9.5.
Alfie Doughty £10m, 24 years old, would complete this window for incomings.
Yes very good player
His crossing are class
Plays like Robertson

I think mact is one of the few clutch players we got .... Not saying he should not be sold.... But just scared about the goals .cuzz those finishes when we need with rashfotf out of form idk who is gonna scorr them
Would rather have a LB if possible. Great video Sam
You forgot about mount playing as an advanved midfielder.
Disagree. After Ugarte, if there is an urgency for us, it is at LB. You cannot go into the season with Dalot as the starting LB and hoping that a 17yo Amass will be able to cover. A LB on loan is compulsory.
Anybody else watch from Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 let's gather here❤
We together bro
I think so far it's mainly due to player contracts running out, and previously United would give them a bumber new deal even when the majority of the time they didnt even deserve an extension never mind a pay increase, Phil Jones getting a new contract whilst he was still injured comes to mind. Ineos at least are not that stupid. However i question if they are ruthless enough when it comes to players like Maguire and Rashford who must go. But they also have their difficulties because they're trying to get rid of players on huge contracts that they didn't originally give. Radcliffe said it would take a few transfer windows and I think that's easy to see, so got to he patient. As long as the players all stay fit and we finally have a consistent style of play, ideally keeping the ball and attacking. Or maybe a deep lying player maker.
LCM: id probably go for a box to box physical (tall) midfielder to win duels in the air and carry the ball forward as rotation option.
Striker- id only want a striker whos known for their professionalism and experience rather than ego and huge salary. Im thinking a Henrick Larson type striker who we signed years ago.
Left back option, easy Kadioglu is the only one i want.
I cannot wait for a Ugarte X Casemiro midfield duo
Weghorst is available. Cheap. Good for the team spirit. Doesn’t mind coming in from the bench.
😂😂😂 next joke
@@leemccccccc999 😁. He played some good matches for the national team though.
@@A.Guggenheimer he was bang average raise your standards will you
@@leemccccccc999 you are right of course. But what top-class player will come to the club cheap to sit on the bench? 🤷🏻♂️
We’re still an injury or 2 away from playing the same as last year. We need another CB, LB, Ugarte and another MF. We wont be different while Harry and Lindalof are in the squad.
Sancho needs to go for the dressing room control and either Scot or Erikson to bring in a 2nd MF
If Ugarte is a loan (wotb), I'd keep Mctominay, don't personally like the idea of him leaving still, even though I know he's not perfect. A committed youth player, physical, determined, can get a goal. I'd move on eriksen, then I think we have enough there. Mount can play a bit deeper in certain games as well, particularly if ugarte is there (eg cover for mainoo role). Like others have said, I'd still want another left back. It was a really big issue yesterday that affected the whole team, and we're starting the seasons again without a left back. The two guys have serious injury records, we can't rely on them... And we can't have only 2 fit full backs playing 90 mins each game.... They'll get injured!
Shaw and Malacia should be sold if we can’t get them playing
There is no replacement for mainoo at this time. The boy is just so slick playing football. Who would u bring in?
We need cover at left back please.....with shaw and Tyrrell ever on the sidelines
Buying another striker would be fucking ridiculous. We shouldn’t sell Erikson, 5 million is not worth what his cover for Kobbie would be. It’s only left back which would make any sense after Ugarte, if it makes any sense at all. We can always keep our money for another day.
This is the best video you have ever made.
What a coincidence, we bring in a professional management team and we have a great window
Get Toney ,Ugarte and LB then we good...sell all Mctominay, Lindelof Eriksen Pellistri and Hannibal and the like...loan out Sancho with obligation then we good to go 9/10 window
If you want a passer/scooter like Odegaard, Veerman from PSV.
CDM and i still feel a left back needed although the Athletic said MUFC signing one, can't rely on Shaw or Malicia, Harry Amass isn't ready yet
Linderlof is injured mate.
I agree with almost everything you said but ur squad building isn’t accurate imo cos our FB position (left and right), is one more injury away from being a crisis. So, I’d say if we miraculously get Ugarte on loan and sell all those players u mentioned, a CM and FB is priority.
Why so negative on Casey - ALWAYS?
There is nothing Casemiro would do to earn Praise from Sam.
Casemiro easily has been in the top 3 performers for United in the Community Shield and against Fulham.
But Sam wouldn't acknowledge that. It's Cool thou. Everyone with their Opinion.
Dont agree with your logic, we are losing way too much depth. Mids are too light, we should keep scottie. Arguably his run allowed Zirkzee to find the gap and score. He isnt “man utd quality” but his work ethic and love for the club is good enough in the rebuilding phase when we also need to retain some depth.
Open heart surgery goes well beyond the playing squad, but INEOS are delivering on all fronts so far.
Ivan Toney would be good as back-up striker
But the loan with obligation still makes us pay 60m plus add ons. That’s the problem as ineos don’t value him that high.
Buying two strikers in the same age bracket is rarely ever a good idea, reminds me of the benzema- higuain, they won’t develop until one leaves.
I do not think we do not have a chance of this happen this window. Ugarte in and maybe one more (Amrabat??) and a couple more out is as much as we will do.
If we can get ugarte on loan, we shd try for rabiot (free transfer) & a cheap lb cover (maybe reguilon)
Psg signed ugarte for 50, his value has dropped. Both parties want to move on… we should hold firm and pay no more than 40mil. Remember we signed di Maria for 57 and a year later sold him to PSG for 44 mil 😂
Ifs ands buts, it's been a great window without those
I don't understand why we sold pellistri for only 5mil when we bought him in for 12mil+
Because he's not good enough and who wanted him? No one
5m with a 50% sell on is all he's worth
He will next summer for free... so instead leaving him for free at least we've got something... also there is no one in the market wants him !!!
We bought him for £9m. He's been at the club for 4 years, so anything above £1.8m is a profit in this years accounts. We're also reportedly putting a 40% sell-on clause in there. When he only has 1 year on his contract, it's OK.
Why only £5m? This is what happens when you keep a player for too long. This is what happens when you keep sending a player out on loan year after year and they don't really impress at the lesser clubs they've been sent out on loan to. There's not much for buying clubs to buy into, they see a player who isn't good enough for top level, and his loans indicate he's not good enough for the next level down. We need to be quicker at making these decisions on young players.
you are missing wage offload here. It is much bigger in terms of how united can write this in books...
We have been selling players for way too low this window
I would have a change Greenwood than Rasford, Sancho, Antony. Look at Marse 1st game. He didn’t take penalty even he was at hatrik
Can someone please tell me which of United new signings would get into any of the top 4s teams?
None of them would. I'm baffled by people suggesting this is an incredibly successful transfer season. It's lots of players but they are all average and mostly players unwanted by the their current clubs.
If we get Toney and Ugarte it’s a 9.5 out of 10. If we got another CM LB, and shifted out lidelof then Maguire we would have a 10/10 but still rate this one so high because we got young talent in all key positions we were most sorely needing imo attacker cdm if we get Ugarte Striker of a different style in Toney if we get him and a complete upgraded defensive unit… I don’t want to pigeonhole collier he’s very very versatile just just cdm imo he’s capable or more than that and I really want Toney over Mainoo cover
Toney ain't happening
Forget toney he's 28 and too expensive the new board will go for players under 25 especially for that money
Yes we need a LB and another CB to cover for injuries. Harry and Lindalof cant play how we want to. An injury or 2 in Defence would completely mess up the team play.
