Topic: Harry Maguire considering his options thread

[Ghost Town]

I guess Seven Haag is worried it'll be Eight or Nine Haag against us this season and so is training his side to become grocks and assassins to stop us.

Howard Webb: "I'll allow it"

Manc fucks dropping another £70 mill I see. Those tight, oppressive Glazers. 

[DangerScouse]

He's spent about €450m since last summer?

Yep,need Qatari sportswashers as owners now to take those damned Glazer imposed spending shackles off.

Agreed personal terms with Amrabat too. Looks like Fred is on his way.

I thought Amrabat was a DM? His defensive stats are awful.

And this £70mill striker bagged a massive 9 goals in over 30 games in Serie A last season

I'm guessing they've give up on Kane then?

[newterp]

you missed out the "NO" response.

He may have just been asking her if she was Albanian.

[HeartAndSoul]

Take it the Norwich scarves will be put away for a little while until a bad result then it’s glazers out again..

[kaesarsosei]

Feels to me that the maligned Fred is a better player than Amrabat.

Also I'm trying to be fair to Utd, is this new foward any good? Literally never heard of him.

Scores less than Szobo does from midfield. But name sounds like Haaland and he’s tall and blonde - so it’s all good.

[JovaJova]

Really quite amazing how awful this club are at spending money effectively.

What exactly are they trying to achieve ? Every transfer window they spend hundreds of millions and don’t get any better.

They still need a whole new team to have a chance at challenging for the big trophies, it’s a never ending billion pound Groundhog Day.

But the Glazers haven't backed him...

[tonysleft]

Weird amount of money to spunk on a lad who hasn't scored 10 league goals in a season yet but I couldn't name you another guy Utd should have signed that they could have gotten. Kane seems to be off limits so it was very slim pickings for a CF.

[GreatEx]

Scores less than Szobo does from midfield. But name sounds like Haaland and he’s tall and blonde - so it’s all good.

Also runs really fast from what I've heard. I assume he'll therefore receive the Darwin Nunez treatment of a "why did they spend 120m pounds on this guy" HYS after every missed chance.

[RedG13]

Amrabat is much better ball progressor then Fred.
The Forward is basically banking coaching there to improve him and produce. Forward generally score more as they age. It a big risk money wise but basically the elite forwards are not moving right now and the prices for the 2nd tier youngers ones are very high with the market. Balogun asking price from arsenal is like 50 mil.

bissaka with an assist for dortmund today

is he still first choice RB because "best slide tackler per 90" stat?

“No one has ever gone past him in training” crystal palace put out there, and got 60m for it, well played.

They had TalkShite on the radio on the coach yesterday and the pundits were fawning over the Man U transfers.  One of them reeled off a potential starting XI and said it was the best in the league.

Onana

Wan-Bissaka
Shaw
Varane
Lisandro

Casemeiro
Mount

Antony
Bruno
Rashford

Hjolund

They seemingly think Mount is Busquets and Mascherano rolled into one if they're expecting him to be the foundation for that front four!

10 year extension with Adidas worth a minimum £900m.

What's our deal with Nike worth?

That's £90m-a-year. Swiss Ramble has our current deal with Nike at £70m-a-year and I think we're due to renew soon.

Nike better be prepared to break £100m a season for us then.

That team is so fricking good they could afford to leave out *checks Redcafe notes* a top 5 defender in the world. 

[tubby]

Are they playing Mount in a double-pivot pre-season then?  Interested to see how he gets on there.

[xbugawugax]

lol

maybe they think mount is some kind of pirlo.

they are just putting their most expensive signings on the pitch without any balance

shaw as CB? what happened to their butcher?

oh think i read somewhere with the hojlund signing ten hag have already spent more than klopp have his entire liverpool tenure.

fucking six fingers sister shagging hypocrites

New Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana showed he will bring more to Erik ten Hag's team than ball-playing ability during a 3-2 defeat by Borussia Dortmund in Las Vegas.

The 27-year-old Cameroon keeper, who came on at half-time, has a reputation for letting rip at team-mates.

And he had a furious rant at Harry Maguire after a slack pass to Christian Eriksen gifted Dortmund a chance.

Onana denied Sebastian Haller then raced from his goal to berate Maguire.

The former United captain kept his counsel, which is more than could be said of fellow defender Brandon Williams in a separate incident. Williams was involved in a slanging match with Tom Heaton, who started in goal as United's three-match tour of the United States ended in defeat in front of 50,857 at the Allegiant Stadium.

Williams had been responsible for Donyell Malen cancelling out Diogo Dalot's excellent opening strike, but took exception to being blamed by Heaton for Dortmund's second goal, barely a minute later, when Victor Lindelof gave the ball away.

Heaton seemed to suggest Williams had been too slow getting out and had played Malen onside. Williams evidently disagreed, making his feelings known in industrial terms.

All good in the United camp in pre season

I hope we're not playing Utd for a good while yet. They are cocained up to the back teeth and will definitely seriously injure someone this season (again if you count the Wrexham player).

I saw that on the highlights and thought that's not a really good way to introduce yourself to a player who's just relinquished the armband.

Funny that. I think these are in for a stinker of a season. Out of the top 4 places and out of the Champions League early.

[B0151?]

Incredible how overrated this lot is getting. But it's absolutely par for the course. New manager comes in does OK initially and now they are back. When I watched them last season they were the same old United they were under Ole. Still no identity other than hit teams on the counter.

Hojlund just seems like another Martial transfer to me. I'm sure he will have bright moments but can easily just completely turn out to be not anything special. They are asking a lot of him.
