I reckon they'll leave it to the last minute and end up paying full whack for Sancho

What's amazing is their almost blinkered focus on improving their front line.

They deserpately need to improve their defence in particular the central defenders ( I know slabahead was £75M so must be awesome) and the central midfield is slow and cumbersome and offers little to no cover to the defence.

What I find amazing is that Manc fans I know banging on about getting in Sancho as he'll make them title challengers immediately. I mean cracking young player but the solution to all their woes he most certainly isnt!

It's funny that they are so blind to the fact that they need to start with the coaching set up. If I was coaching Messi he'd be ok still but the team would probably lose most games

Case in point it seems like Van Der Beek is fed up already and his agent is moaning:

Swart told Dutch outlet VoetbalPrimeur: "A substitute; I don't like it at all. I couldn't do it, coming on with four minutes left. You'd have to leave me on the bench. But normally they should have lost 7-1. Brighton hit the post and the bar five times. They (Brighton) have a nice team, but that shouldn't happen to Manchester United."

Apparently (well according to RC) sadly this bloke isn't actually his agent.

Defences have taken a right drop off due to Covid by the look of it.

If Covid attacks the defending part of the brain, there must quite a few old pros in Italy absolutely ****ting it.

Why are Manchester United finding it so hard to sign players?

In his typically forthright style, former Manchester United skipper Gary Neville has underlined what many of the club's fans are thinking. Why are the club finding it so hard to sign anyone?

Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has identified three areas of weakness, a wide right-sided player, left-back and central defence.

But, despite being linked with scores of players, so far they are yet to add to their solitary close-season purchase, £35m Dutch midfielder Donny van de Beek from Ajax.

"It's appalling that in this market, which is probably the easiest in Premier League history to get transfers done, that United haven't done more yet," grumbled Neville on Twitter. "The others are managing to get things over the line, why not United?"

....

Neville may believe deals are easy to do but in addition to not signing players, United are having difficulty realising their assets.

Andreas Pereira is set to join Lazio on loan but there are half a dozen other first-team players available for sale that United are yet to move on.

Chris Smalling has been training on his own, hoping to return to Roma, where he enjoyed a successful loan spell last season. Smalling knows agreement is not certain, which would effectively turn him into an outcast.

It is not what the former England man wants. However, he will accept the situation if that is what occurs, leaving United picking up a hefty wage bill for someone who is not getting picked. Phil Jones and Marcos Rojo are other central defenders who fit into the same category.

Can't get rid of Smalling, Jones and Rojo. Easy to forget that they've got some really **** players.

The major issue is in the picture.

Who the **** would want to play for him? Lets hope they continue to blame Woodward

As has been said elsewhere Jurgen has been instrumental in attracting players. Starting with Big Virg.

[red g]

if you add in Woodward its the perfect storm of **** management, Basically a club knows that at one point, United will **** a load and pay whatever the asking price was initially.
