Under new owners, #MUFC would massively increase its financial power. Why? Because, A) we could have equity investment (which allows for more spending under FFP) from the owners (0 from the #GlazersOut today) and B) We won't have to service a huge loan, which also burdens FFP.

Nmecha, Tchuameni, Baleba, Bouaddi, Manu Kone are all brilliant additions. Haven't seen Scott that much, but I trust the recruitment team. #MUFC

[Red Devils21 @Roussman2]

When we've been starved of proper midfielders for the best part of a decade, we can very easily raise the team's floor for much less than Fernandes would cost, especially in terms of his wages. No more merchants at the club! #MUFC

[United Updates @UnitedUpdates]

🚨JUST IN: Aurélien Tchouaméni is now the dream signing for Manchester United and Felix Nmecha is an alternative option.

Mateus Fernandes was the 'can't miss' player of this summer & Manchester United missed out on him. Fans won't walk to hear it because losing out on a priority target to a rival sucks, but it was the right decision by the club to not drastically overpay.

You can't pay Fernandes £250k when you pay Kobbie Mainoo £120k. Every club interested except Spurs - Real Madrid, PSG, Arsenal, United, rightfully baulked at the fee/wages & were right to do so. The outcome can be a letdown while also being the right call.

Elliot Anderson £116m & £300k per week, Fernandes £85m guaranteed & £250k per week & the club were happy to hold firm & not make previous mistakes of overpaying for players & blowing up their wage structure. I get it, despite how disappointing it is.

The question now & the balance to strike is landing other players & the club has to prove they are ready to pivot to alternative targets. Not only that, if Premier League proven is no longer feasible because of price inflation, flex your scouting nous & shop abroad.

Manchester United obviously have to prove holding their nerve & refusing to overpay is the right call, because priority targets are dropping off the board.

@Malachians Who's gonna be this preseason's Pereira?

[Red Devils21 @Roussman2]

@Utdtruthful Somebody got his paycheck it seems...

[Red Devils21 @Roussman2]

I think long term, that's his spot. Left foot RW. This would explain why we're looking for a new RW player. #MUFC

@FergieStandards @siphillipssport looks to be the main source atm. That's why I said if they're true. Not really Tier 1 yet.

Η ανανέωση του στρατάρχη Μάρκο μέχρι το 2029, αυξάνει θεαματικά και τις πιθανότητες παραμονής του Γιόβιτς στην #aekfc Γνώμη μο.

[Red Devils21 @Roussman2]

@AdamJoseph He is miles ahead of Ugarte. He's his replacement imo.

[Red Devils21 @Roussman2]

@AdamJoseph He silenced Yamal. Enough said...

[Red Devils21 @Roussman2]

Καλό ταξίδι Μάριε. Πόσο κρίμα. Θα σε θυμόμαστε για πάντα. Κουράγιο στην οικογένειά σου. #aekfc

[Red Devils21 @Roussman2]

On his day, he's formidable. But these days are getting rarer and rarer. Big gamble! #MUFC

[UtdActive @UtdActive]

Rafael Leao is keen on a move to the Premier League, especially to Manchester United.

United are interested but haven’t made a formal move yet.

[@Gazzetta_it] #MUFC

[Red Devils21 @Roussman2]

I'm starting to believe Ederson is the Ugarte upgrade. Tchuameni/Tonali are the Case upgrades/replacements. Meanwhile, Baleba has gone very quiet recently. #MUFC

[Red Devils21 @Roussman2]

That's the type of transfer SAF would make back in the day. I'm all for it. #MUFC

[Transfer News Live @DeadlineDayLive]

🚨 Manchester United are considering a move for Jean-Philippe Mateta this summer. 👀

The Crystal Palace striker is viewed as a cheaper alternative to other No.9 targets on the market, with his contract entering its final year.

United also believe Mateta would be willing to accept competition for a starting spot at Old Trafford. 🇫🇷

@cousincrypt0 Hear me out. Baby wipes. If u know, u know...

[Red Devils21 @Roussman2]

@mufcMPB Ederson"s attributes are mostly suited to a Case replacement though. He's as technical, equal in physicality and a bit faster. He's mostly used in the No6 role in Italy.

[Red Devils21 @Roussman2]

Barcelona's treatment of Rashford and #MUFC is disgraceful. Simple as that. Haggling over the 30mil option, while dropping more than double that on Gordon...

[Red Devils21 @Roussman2]

@AdamJoseph Ederson is -- probably -- that 3rd auxiliary player, as he's adept in both midfield roles, but mostly the No6 position. He's a technical player, quicker than Case, but equal in physicality (so not Anderson levels). I still feel we would need a more physical player there.
