Absolutely dreadful bore fest. 🥱. Friendly or not, heat or not. That was fucking rubbish. My god that carries on and it'll be an exit straight after the group stage 🚮
@LeusRoby@UnitedDays99 No that's what his team(agents etc) are briefing because more money being offered by City and he's given them priority. Nowt to do with what our board etc saying, . Personally don't want to spend £100+M on him. Rather more players than now budget on 1!
@bensmithppc Wow. Let me guess, you actually think we'll be in with a chance of winning it🤔. You do realise it's New Zealand we are playing? Ranked 85..85 I'm the world. Awful performance so far.
@LeusRoby@UnitedDays99 You do realise Elliot Anderson has given his priority to City! I don't want anyone signing that doesn't want Utd as a priority no matter how good. Wether that fits your narrative of what players you want should be irrelevant. A player should always want to sign for UTD!
There are less leaks than ever from Manchester United - there were plenty who didn’t report on Ederson until it was done & dusted.
Fan channels looking to maximise outrage from negative reactions ironically aren’t ‘fan’ channels at all. It’s not what they’re in it for.
Don't care what the majority of the FIFA/Wannabe Talent Scout accounts/Nigerian etc mongs say. Anderson at over £100million we should stay away from&I'm glad we aren't bidding at that much and also Diomande isn't anywhere near worth £50/60 million never mind £100m+ 🚮
Éderson + Fernandes for £100m is by far better than going for Anderson (£100-£120m)
Top it off then with a Tonali, Tchouaméni or someone else & it’s a proper midfield rebuild imo

I don't understand the complaints about Manchester United not bidding for Elliot Anderson. Have people learned nothing from last summer, or the Frenkie de Jong saga? There is no point bidding for a player that has decided they do not want to join the club.
City bid for Anderson because he has clearly indicated that he wants to go there. The reasons? Irrelevant. That is where he wants to go. In the transfer market you bid with encouragement to do so from the players' camp. Why would a meaningless bid be better?
Sadly Anderson hasn't been in briefs for a little while now, it is becoming clear why that was. The club wanted him, did what they could & he picked someone else. That isn't a slight on their ambition. It's the reality that they can't compete with City's wages.
It was the same with Antoine Semenyo. Money talks. Manchester United have not recovered financially from years of transfer & contract mistakes, they still have some on their books. It'll take more time & good season on good season to fix that.
It is often the people complaining the loudest who either don't know how the game is played, or are being actively ignorant about it & don't want to learn.
Forest want around £105+million for him. So glad we walked away at that price! Jesus if he's got that valuation João Neves and Vithinha must be worth £150/£160+ million EACH!
🚨 EXCL: Manchester City submit opening offer to Nottingham Forest for Elliot Anderson. #MCFC bid rejected by #NFFC but pursuit ongoing. Club bosses spoke at UEFA dinner last week (no suggestion it was to negotiate deal). W/ @lauriewhitwell@TheAthleticFC https://t.co/ZCZbfRgZLY
@LeKingsCollar Yeah I totally get that just think maybe somewhere new, with Bruno as his Captain he might change, he's got to at some point he's 26 now, otherwise it's a hell of a talent wasted, but I get and agree with what you're saying too. 1st choice would be Nusa tbf
Ideally would be so happy with. Ederson,M Fernandes, Scott, also then go Grab Lewis Hall ,Antonio Nusa or Rafael Leao that's the left hand side sorted with depth then try for a back up/extra striker for Sesko. Rather spend on them than £120+on Elliot Anderson. That price is 🚮
