I personally feel we’ll definitely put a bid in for Lewis Hall this summer but it’ll just get rejected from them because they’re so tough in negotiations and will ask a crazy steep price.
At this point Carrick, Manchester United need to stop the hesitation and show some real urgency in this window. We’re hearing all the right names, but we can't afford to be reactive when other clubs are moving with such intent. We need to lock down Bruno’s future immediately rewarding his record breaking season with that new contract isn't just about the wages, it's about making it clear to Jose and Madrid that he’s untouchable. On the recruitment side, the situation with Lewis Hall is heating up Chelsea is clearly lurking, and we cannot let them hijack a move for a player who fits exactly what we need on the left. The same goes for Mateus Fernandes the interest from Arsenal is real, and the longer we spend debating the valuation, the more we open the door for someone else to swoop in. It’s time to move past the slow bidding phase. We have the plan and the targets, now we just need the decisiveness to get these deals over the line before the competition beats us to the punch. No more excuses, just get it done INEOS. #MUFC #TransferNews
I see United fans complaining that Real Madrid are moving quickly in transfer windows, but both clubs actually operate very differently behind the scenes. Real Madrid work with a tight, highly prioritised shortlist and only move when internal conditions are right, which makes their deals look sudden and efficient.
In contrast, Manchester United tend to have more public and fragmented recruitment processes, with multiple targets discussed at once and heavy media reporting. This doesn’t always reflect internal pace, but it does make negotiations appear slower and more chaotic.
Madrid also benefit from long-term squad planning, targeting players at precise moments when value and opportunity align, while United have been in more of a rebuilding phase that often requires reactive decisions across several positions. That difference in planning style shapes how each club approaches each window.
So the perception of Madrid being “quick” and United being “slow” is less about actual speed and more about clarity, structure, and control of the transfer process.
I like that Mourinho is trying to build a team with ordinary professional footballers that will give their all to play for him as opposed to going for generational superstars..
That being said, Man United needs to close Fernandes' deal tonight cause this is very concerning.
This Marc Cucurella to Real Madrid news changes a lot.
Chelsea will now enter the market aggressively for a new LB, and Lewis Hall instantly becomes an obvious option.
The problem? He already knows Chelsea. He’s an ex-player there.
If Hall completely shuts that door, United gain an advantage.
But if he’s open to returning, then we are looking at a serious bidding war between Chelsea and United.
And this is exactly why United moving slowly in this market is worrying.
Today it’s Lewis Hall. Tomorrow it could be Mateus Fernandes.
All it takes is one elite club to seriously enter the race and the entire situation changes. Prices rise. Pressure rises. Negotiations become harder.
United might still win these deals.
But dragging negotiations in this market is dangerous.
INEOS need to move faster and act with more urgency before the market turns chaotic.
I understand why Bruno G stayed at Newcastle
It’s because his performance yesterday for example, wouldn’t cut it at a serious club, but at Newcastle he can get away with bum mentality, cs they “love him “
Newcastle is where he belongs, mediocrity is his ting
Mazraoui is a top top player.
One of our best signings in recent years.
Doesn’t get talked about enough. Just as good LB as he is RB and only cost us 18 million
Having a player like Mazraoui is a blessing for any coach.
Versatile, disciplined, professional, aggressive and technically gifted. Really glad he plays for United.
Diogo Dalot & Noussair Mazraoui both cop a bit of criticism at times, but what both give Manchester United is reliable floor raising squad players which every club needs & who are top professionals who you can count. Players that coaches love, even if fans don’t all the time.
Bouaddi is a ridiculous talent.
Physicality, composure, superb reading of the game, underrated athleticism.
Whoever signs him is getting a superstar in the making. 🇲🇦🇲🇦
Bouaddi could become the best number 6 in the world. He’s so calm under pressure.
He has that rare trait that Declan Rice also has.
Knowing when to go and when to stay. When to engage and when not to.
He knows he will win.
