Moukoko nipping in ahead of Shaw to score the winner is the stuff that gets me hard.

ten Hag was very critical of the players who came on after the hour mark.

4 losses in a row now:

• Real Madrid 2-0 Man Utd
• Wrexham 3-1 Man Utd XI
• Altrincham 2- Man Utd XI
• BVB 3-2 Man Utd

Which means United will win every game when the real stuff starts.

Liverpool selling Henderson and Fabinho in the same window is the kind of ruthlessness you need.

They're a little light at DM now, but will probably sign Lavia.

That would be 3 big midfield signings this window.

Mac Allister/C.Jones-------Szoboszlai/H.Elliot

Lavia/Bajcetic

It is relatively high spending compared to recent years and supposedly may not be done yet either, lot of moving parts to try and settle into a team, a new look midfield, I do wonder with pulisic what will happen given they have leao on the left (his best spot) and chukwueze for the right, unless they’re expecting a late big offer for leao maybe? 
 

depth is hugely improved though, if enough of them click they should be really competitive but 8 or more additions to the first team squad may take some time to bed in

Mostly sensible moves though players of a good profile and a lot with potential to grow still or kick on with a fresh start

I think Milan will play 4-3-3 and rotate a lot.

Romero could be a top player one day. He's already shown glimpses.

aye-  your right up with modern street slang you are.   Nothing remotely backward about you in the slightest pal    

Feisty one you are.

What do you make of Milan's transfer business, @hdcantona?

• Sportiello - Free transfer
• RLC - €16 million + 4m
• Munsah - €20 million + add-ons
• Reijnders - €20 million + 5m
• Pulisic - €20 million
• Chukwueze - €20 million + 8m
• Romero - Free transfer
• Okafor - €14 million

Certainly improves the squad depth.

@TheManc is one of the best;  

TM is an idiot who backed De Gea and paid the price.

Thankfully, despite ten Hag being a sexual predator apologist, he at least saw that De Gea was a cancer and got rid. Not a deluded prick like yourself.

Pre-season El Clásico last night.

Barcelona won 3-0... despite Real Madrid hitting the woodwork 5 times and ter Stegen making some brilliant saves.

2 big chances vs 6 big chances. Lolz.

According to the gutter press, Greenwood is in talks with Adidas in the hopes that they will green light his return to the fold. The club want him back and all is seemingly forgiven. They should have ripped up his contract months ago and washed their hands of him. I expect the women's team will be thrilled to see him back too.

Adidas didn't let that rumour stick.

Bit naive all the could’ve got Osimhen / Kane for a few quid more chat - 

Few on here desperate for nxt stick to beat Ten Hagg, without coming up with better solutions,  hoping UTD have a poor season

I think large chunk what fee is declared publicly is PR - appeasing fans etc.  it’s structure of deal that really matters, a lot of which isn’t made public

good signing -  anyone who thinks we’re getting much better for much less living in f-wit Ten Hagg bashing cuckooo land 

You are the most naive poster on the forum. lol.

Max is on another level of late. 

The records Red Bull and he have broke are phenomenal. Even in Hamiltons era of dominance he wasn't as consistent.

Hamilton alleged stated he has 4/5 years still. His ego is getting the better of him wanting desperately to eclipse Schumacher as being the outright winner of the most championships. If I were him I'd bow out relatively still at the top.

It's the car. Mercedes have lost their way, while Red Bull have found a way to produce a faster car.

I hate Mercedes, so long may it continue.

I've caught a few of the pre-season games.

Chelsea have shown encouraging signs under Poch. They've streamlined the squad.

The players brought in over the past 12 months or so have done well. Nicolas Jackson has been excellent. If he can bring that form to the games that actually count, Chelsea will finally have a ST.

Maatsen has impressed after two good Championship loans. Casadei has shown glimpses of quality.

Jackson

Mudryk------Nkunku-------Sterling

E.Fernández-----Caicedo

Chilwell------Colwill-----T.Silva-------R.James

Kepa

They should push for top 4 if they can sign Caicedo and bring in another winger/wide forward.

PSG have bid for Hojlund.

Watch them get him for less lol.

I still think that United will wait until Bayern have agreed a fee with Spurs for Kane, then match it.

Højlund does want United, so that's the one thing they have in their favour.

A 24/25 year old ST is ideally what United should have gone far. Højlund is a bit green, while Kane is 30. 

I would have taken a chance on Openda. Leipzig signed him for €43 million.

He's been a busy boy during pre-season. Naughty challenges on Saka and Bellingham.

Bellingham poured water on the fire after the game. He should have called him a midget.

We beat arsenal? Or do you mean this game?

we have had some amazing pre season performances before that led to nothing, and I remember losing to sporting Kansas city when we won the league in 10/11 (berba scored a pen) I take a lot more note of individuals and any repeated / consistent patterns than anything else 

Wrexham. That doped B team lost vs newly promoted Welsh trash.

I really hope that United have a terrible season. But I actually think that they'll win the league. Comfortably as well.

Dunked on by Joselu. 2 defeats in a row. Inject it.

Eh?

I think the consensus is that Mount is an overpay for a player in a contract year and Hojlund likely will be as well.

They improve the squad sure but you’d expect more quality for the money spent. The striker options are abysmal. Ferguson’s “no value in the market” critique rings more true now than it ever did then. 

Onana is a bit of a wildcard. Amrabat doesn’t feel like a Utd signing but could be decent business for the reported fee. 

I never said that United fans were intelligent.

Lost 3-1.

The figures being talked about for Hojlund are an absolute joke. How do we manage to get absolutely bent over on every transfer we make?

Most United fans think that they have done amazing business this summer.

some spanish outlet says he'd "rather sit on the bench in paris, than go to saudi arabia" 

But I think I'd sell out all my values for 700 million :L 

It's just 1 season. Then he can join Real on a free.

He'd be crazy not to take it.

He's an obvious pick to be fair, other than maybe Martinez who's only been here a year, he's been the leader on field since he got here pretty much anyway and much like it didn't matter that maguire was captain it doesn't really matter who wears the armband imo 

ETH was playing the hell out of him anyway so at least he's not now forced into playing someone else every week

Tom Heaton would have been a better choice.

Bruno will only have more license to moan now.
