@realsavanti My assumptions are United are securing Ederson first not as a marquee signing but as signing establishing depth; Champions league quality with the ability to play when needed. This is also good because the amount we’re getting him for suggests that we are only looking for deals.
— £38m for Hojlund
— £26m for Rashford
— £18m from UCL qualification
— Casemiro wages off the books
— Rashford wages off the books
— Sancho wages off the books
And there’s still a strong chance Ugarte, Onana, Malacia and Zirkzee leave too.
Do NOT let INEOS push the “financial situation” narrative again. Anything less than 6 players is a failed transfer window.
🚨🗣️ @TyMarshall_MEN:
“United might well look to sign a versatile forward to replace Zirkzee, someone who can play wide as well as through the middle. Or they might look for an older head.
“Danny Welbeck is an obvious candidate, with a year left on his contract at Brighton. United have twice considered bringing him back to Old Trafford in recent years.
“He will turn 36 in November but has had another good season at the Amex and his experience could be valuable.”
