Saint Matty 76

The fact that it's United, Arsenal and Leicester enquiring for him is probably an indication that it could be a reflection on the poor players he's been surrounded with, kind of similar to Tadic. Would be happy if we could get anything upwards of £22m for him though, but would definitely be disappointed if it's the £15m being initially rumoured.

Yeah. If we could shift him and use the money to bring in a proper Romeu replacement like Phillips I'd be happy. Lemina doesn't quite fit into the formation and the DM to partner Hojbjerg is probably our weakest position at the minute apart from CB.

He can't be that great if he's going to Brentford.

Gunn Valery - Bednarek - NEW - Bertrand Hojbjerg - NEW Redmond - Djenepo Ings - Adams Don’t personally rate Ings but this would be an alright looking team to start the season with. Need a proper DM next to PEH though.

If we can get £20m+ for Austin and Targett we'd have done pretty well I'd say.

Wolves hitting Rondon's £16.5m release clause apparently. Would like to think we'd be able to rival them to be our first choice rather than their second, but probably not. No real reason why he'd choose us over Newcastle any more either. Didn't realise Che Adams was only 5'9 as well, wouldn't mind us having someone up top alongside him who can actually hold a ball up/win a header.

Really surprised the club haven't rounded it off to a million tonight. A little disappointed.

I honestly don't think anyone in our squad has done enough to justify a move. Hojbjerg and Redmond are the only two who arguably play above our level and I can't even imagine them having teams lining up to buy. I'd be happy with Gunn, McCarthy, Vestergaard, Bednarek, Bertrand, Valery, Ings, Romeu, JWP, Lemina, Redmond and Hojbjerg in the 18 next season. Boufal, Targett, Sims and Obafemi also having a chance to prove themselves in pre-season. Anyone else I wouldn't even blink at them leaving.

Redmond in for Armstrong and anyone in the world in for Stephens and I'd have really liked this team. Elyounoussi needs the chance in a more attacking set-up and it'd be great if we could get Lemina/Hojbjerg working.

Best I've seen us play in a long time, absolutely dominating them. Hopefully we don't do our usual and somehow turn this into a nervy game, we should smash them.

Holy **** what a save from Foster.

Nah I'm with you on that. It was great to see him play well but I still don't think he gets into our best team right now if everyone's fit, let alone next season with hopeful reinforcements.

Gunn Valery Bednarek Yoshida Bertrand Hojbjerg Lemina JWP Armstrong Redmond Ings Always like the look of this on paper but really feel like we struggle without Romeu in the side. Wouldn't mind a 4312 set-up with JWP making way.

Long absolutely brilliant today.

Sitting back way too much here.

Like the team, little worried to see how we'll do without Romeu in there though. Would've preferred him in over JWP if we're going for the 5-2-3/3-4-3.

James, Bowen, Maupay, Wakins and Adams are all a step in the right direction in regards to transfer policy I think, would be nice to get a couple of them in.

Definitely bottling this now, prove me wrong please Stephens!

I'd happily take two if they're available. Can't DM on here though.

...shut up you idiot.

Seen better starts.

Since 13/14, only City have a better record at Old Trafford than we do.

I've changed my mind about 20 times on what I'd like to see from the line-up tonight. I THINK this is what I want. Gunn Valery - Yoshida - Bednarek - Bertrand Romeu - Hojbjerg Ward-Prowse - Armstrong Austin - Redmond Not sure he'll drop Vestergaard though so I'd be fine with him in over Yoshida. Biggest problem with that is the glaring lack of pace other than Redmond.

Surprise, surprise. No sign of Ings in any of the training photos. Bertrand looking involved and Austin is the first photo in the gallery, not sure if that holds any relevance.

Hope there's some strange break clause that means we don't have to buy him if he doesn't play a certain amount of games or something.
