re: Manchester United - Season Long Thread 2025/26 Ruben at work version 1.5

It's no surprise. All United are going to get are low ball offers until the eleventh hour, where we MIGHT get something fair. We have no leverage.

McTominay and Elanga are probably the the two best in recent memory.

Would have been nice to have gotten 70M for Garnacho during the winter window.

Chelsea offer like £30-£35 million for Garnacho but want £90+ for Jackson

Chelsea can eat shite in general. I wouldn't take less than a premium for anyone from Chelsea, regardless of our situation.

But yeah, they can low ball us for Garnacho and dangle Jackson for $100M but neither of those deals are going to happen so frick them for wasting everybody's time. The only way they get Garnacho for less than 50M quid is with an enormous sell on fee IMO.

TYFYS Bruno but if you are going to whine about a ref not apologizing after inadvertently bumping you on your penalty routine, I can't defend that weak mentality any longer. I love the fire and passion and appreciate how he is an incredible player with an insane injury record but he is not what United needs going forward.

If we don't have a top class 6 next to him, our midfield just doesn't work. Now Mainoo can't play because Bruno is never going to be subbed.

:lol:

"He looks like a rat, he looks like a raaaaaaaa-aaaaaaaaaaaat. Bruno Fernandes, he looks like a rat" Fulham supporters at Old Trafford!!

Theres no reason why they should hesitate to ship out anyone thats been with the team from last year.

High wages and no results is the worst position to be in and they need a complete culture overhaul at the roster level.

At this point in time Mainoo has not put in a request, just said he would be open to a move if the right suitor came along before the window closes.

Having said that, the contract saga and play time situation do not look favorable to keeping him around past 2027. This will be a huge factor in the perception of Amorim...he needs to get this right.

Mainoo drama ratcheted up to 11 today!

Laurie Whitwell was on Paddock yesterday and didn't really have anything say but this morning drops a whole bunch of BS that's got everybody pissed off. I read a comment that said breaking the "academy streak" would be worse than placing 15th.

Now it's Mainoo vs Amorim. The journo shite stirring cycle continues.

Yep there's been a lot of talk about numbers but the bottom line is he hasn't signed what's been put in front of him. If he wants 180k a week...just no. That's the kind of bad business that put us in this shite hole.

Mainoo is a good, young player but if there wasn't this focus on keeping the academy players streak intact, nobody would care about us selling a 20 year old who doesn't fit our system and doesn't want to sign a fair contract. The inconvenient truth is that to properly back Amorim, we need 2 midfielders that can run with the ball and cover the middle third of the pitch seamlessly. Neither Bruno or Mainoo fit. My only complaint is that this should have been handled already, backlash be damned.

I am all in on Amorim but we need to start winning TODAY. If that means we have to be ruthless, so be it. Bruno and Mainoo can go and it won't bother me if we get players that help us win.
