🗣| Make it make sense.
Manchester United supporters keep hearing that the reported price tag for Mateus Fernandes is "too high," yet the club is now being heavily linked with Alex Scott, who is reportedly valued in a similar £80–85 million range.
So which is it? Is the issue really the money, or is it the club's priorities?
If United are prepared to consider spending that kind of fee on one player, then using the price tag as the excuse for walking away from another simply doesn't add up. Fans are tired of mixed messages and inconsistent transfer strategies.
At some point, Manchester United have to stop confusing supporters with contradictory signals. Either the club is willing to invest in top targets, or it isn't. Trying to argue both at the same time only makes the recruitment strategy look directionless.
🚨 BREAKING: Spurs have made a new bid for Sandro Tonali worth around £90m.
Newcastle hoping for £100m. Talks between clubs continue.
Spurs remain optimistic.

Fernandes is not worth 85m imagine United pay 120m for Baleba last transfer market just to put up not up to the expectations, same you who wants united to go all out for fernandes would be the first to criticize our scout, the board and all involved in the transfer
We’re going to lose a lot of player bcuz we don’t have a top manager to convince them.
Some players need convincing about a project before they’ll accept to join the club
Do people think we sign Mbumo, Cunha, Sesko bcuz they love United? That’s the work of having a top manager.
Last two seasons ago Baleba was worth over a €100m but two he's worth way less than that, Manchester United can get Baleba for as low as 40-60m,that extra 40m+ in the bag. So if you're mad they didn't go 4 fernandes who isn't worth that amount then I don't know what to say to u
People keep saying we should’ve just paid the transfer fee and the wages because he was our top target. But have people already forgotten about Alexis Sanchez?
He was one of the best players in the league, and even City were close to signing him. We offered bigger wages, he chose us, and we all know how that turned out. Money isn’t the solution.
The first priority should be signing players who genuinely want to play for Manchester United, not those who simply go wherever the highest salary is offered.
Today’s market is heavily influenced by agents. Many don’t care which club their client joins they push the move that earns them the biggest commission.
As for Fernandes, it was never really about Manchester United; it was about the wages. Walking away was the right decision. Otherwise, we’d have ended up with another high-earner who’d be almost impossible to sell later because of his salary. We’ve already made that mistake too many times.
