I won’t worry about United as long as Ten Haag is in charge. He’s clueless beyond belief, like a bald, Dutch Southgate. That's all changed now with the appointments they've made, don't expect the same level of incompetence going forward. Regards Ten Hag, he's added Van Nistelrooy and some other dude to his coaching team, so i'd expect an improve somewhat there as well. They won't be as bad next season.

I dunno De ligt is a good signing for where they are and he's better than what they have but he's not a top top CB I've not seen zirkee for bologna but I'd say the same about him too If they get branthwaite for £70m then questions should be asked And even after all of that you've still got to wonder if their heads will go cos they know ETH is getting bulleted at some point Don't think they'll be as bad but not convinced they'll be that good either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Surprising detail in the proposed deal for Zirkee Quote Manchester United are close to completing a £33.7m deal to sign Dutch striker Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna. United sources say the club are set to pay a slight premium on the £33.67m release clause in order to secure an extended payment period for the 23-year-old. link Why do they want / need extended payment terms as a super rich club buying a relatively cheap player? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure that I read recently that United owe the most amount in transfer fees in the Premier League by a considerable amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's generally the way clubs tend to operate these days. We did the exact same with Maatsen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 Lost 1-0 to Rosenborg in a friendly. Only first game and they were missing half a team of course but amused me that Rosenborg had 22 shots at goal so clearly Ten Hag made no attempt last few weeks to improve their defensive structure. They will have to sign very well this summer to seriously challenge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke313 Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 What funny is that most united fans in the comments doesn’t realise this is coming from an Italian source so the wage figures are net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still worry more about Chelsea clicking into a good team but assuming Yoro is done, then United will be better than last year. A lot will rest on if Bruno is sold, if Rashford is better than last year, if Martinez stays fit and if they can resolve their centre midfield issues with a new signing. So as things stand, they could finish anywhere from 3rd to 8th and many of our XI would walk into theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no doubt Yoro is going to be a very good player for them in the future, but United fans think they are signing a 17 year old Van Dijk, who is going to come in and fix all their defensive issues.

Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 I think it is around half a billion Ten Hag has spent now, if they are not competing at the top of the table in November then they will have to go to Southgate for inspiration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the best CB in the world at his peak but I think it's the concussions that have destroyed him which is a little sad to be fair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 not sure how utd are back with that signing, when liverpool needed a CB they went and got VVD for a record fee, when city needed one they went and go dias for a record fee with dias in mind im surprised with all the CBs they've been linked with the 2 young portuguese ones havent popped up in conversation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 It’s another fairly big money, and fairly risky signing by United. It shows how they have fallen. They used to go out and buy the finished article but those players don’t want to join them anymore hence these riskier buys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
