🚨💣 BREAKING: Éderson to Manchester United, here we go!
Deal done with Atalanta for €45m package with add-ons included, agreement now in place.
Medical and formal steps to follow but deal in place.
Éderson will sign a four year deal plus option, as @TheAthleticFC reports.
This is fucking crap
Man United are so close to getting it right, and this is getting it wrong on so many levels
Break the bank and prioritise Anderson
Ederson is absolutely brutal
Ederson has verbally agreed a five-year contract at Manchester United, while club-to-club talks are advancing.
#MUFC also keen on Mateus Fernandes and Aurélien Tchouaméni. Both names high in their thinking.
Elliot Anderson remains the dream (and top) target yet #MCFC optimistic of agreeing terms with the Nottingham Forest midfielder.
Sandro Tonali cost would need to drop for Manchester United to move up him their list, while Carlos Baleba and Alex Scott are other options. However, Bournemouth are in a strong position with Europe to agree a new deal with Scott.
Joao Gomes not on the list currently, despite being considered in January. Wolves midfielder expected to complete a move to Atletico Madrid in the coming days, as revealed on @talkSPORT.
Manchester United will sign at least two new midfielders.🔴
🚨 Jamie Carragher on Premier League Player of the Season and PFA Player of the Year award:
“These awards should go to the player who controls games, carries his team to winning the title, and shows up when it matters most. Not just someone collecting stats like it’s a hobby and ending the season with no trophy to show for it.”
Ridiculous… @_DeclanRice should have won this.
Absolute travesty that someone whose team never once competed for the Title wins over a guy whose brilliance all season led us to the Title.
So Michael Carrick continuing to play Amad (could also say the same about Mbuemo) despite him being shite for months and continuing to play Martinez over Heaven
Red flags
Ole was the same. Had his favourites and never deviated no matter their form
Must be a fergie thing…
Another 3-4 signings in the summer again then with 0 in January
Rinse and repeat
If this was a top club they’d realise that they’re close to challenging again and would recruit accordingly whereas Man United are happy with top 4 so recruit accordingly
🚨 JUST IN: Manchester United updates via @David_Ornstein on @NBCSports:
- Casemiro will be leaving the club this summer, possibly Ugarte too - possibility of one or two players may be coming in for that area of the field.
- Elliot Anderson remains a key target but it remains to be seen if Man United can land him, this is due to valuation from Nottingham Forest & rivalry from Man City - Forest intend to keep all key players this summer.
- Tchouameni is one to keep an eye on. The forward left position is one United want to strengthen with Rashford potentially leaving and Sancho leaving.
- De Ligt’s surgery went well, the CB position is not the forefront of agendas at this time. If someone was to leave then it may be looked at so they can be replaced.
- This summer is not expected to be one of ‘lavish spending’ - Man United will continue to be prudent, diligent & measured this summer.
Make no mistake about it
Carrick will not win us the league or get us close
Rival fans are celebrating this as we were so close to getting it right
Ole 2.0 incoming
✅ "I think Michael Carrick is the right appointment!"
👀 "There's no harm in waiting!"
Rory Jennings & Darren Bent debate whether there are better managers available for Manchester United than Michael Carrick
🚨💣 Manchester United and Michael Carrick are set to continue together next season and beyond.
Chances increasing for weeks as reported and everyone at #MUFC feels he should stay.
Players, management, everyone on same page.
Next step: talks to final stages and new deal.
