Thank you @B_Fernandes8 I got no words! My daughter is going to go crazy when she wakes up!
This is why we need a proper DoF and proper owners who realise this and make money available to be spent properly and bring as many players in as possible to overhaul the squad.
None will happen
You're the new DoF at Manchester United.
The club has just missed out on Europe, the money is tight, and your new manager wants top players. Your budget is £120m, plus whatever you can raise from sales.
Here's the mess you've inherited:
- Bruno Fernandes is leaving, fed up with broken promises.
- Maguire, Martínez and Shaw won't be offered new deals so all leave on a free.
- Rashford has left on a free for Monaco. Apparently the casino swung it.
- Mazraoui has quit football altogether.
-De Ligt never got back to top-level fitness and has retired.
-Santos wasn't up to it. He's gone to France on loan with an option to buy, but the £30m won't arrive until next season.
-Mount and Ugarte have been shopped around, and the only offers so far are loans.
- Zirkzee is back from an unremarkable loan at Everton, and Pisa have bid £15m.
What's your plan? Who do you sell, who do you sign, and how do you rebuild the squad on this budget?

United don’t miss a trick calling members to see if they want to take exec season tickets now Carrick is gone and Poch is coming in. Brave!

While they at it change the dugouts back to what they were before these cowboy managers came in after Jose.
Adam Lawrence took training yesterday for the four fit senior players not on internationals, merged into U18s/U21s session.
Team off now until Tuesday. Leaves couple of days to sort at Carrington before Mauricio Pochettino expected to arrive. #MUFC ⬇️

🚨🇺🇸 BREAKING: Manchester United appoint Mauricio Pochettino as new head coach, here we go!

New era at #MUFC. 🆕🇦🇷
If you got ambition and money you can buy these 4 in January
Bassey
Branthwaite
Rayan
Kayode
Fulham
Everton
Bournemouth
Brentford
We used to do this, buy the best players of teams outside the traditional top 6.

Sell him in the summer get some money for him. Time to rebuild it all again.
What a player he has been for us. This season maybe the decline beginning to happen. Looks like 2 games a week is too much now for him.
🚨 Exclusive: Bruno Fernandes has turned down a second contract offer from #MUFC, further talks anticipated.
First proposal in summer, latest more recent. Salary + length of deal up for discussion. Current terms expire 2027 (+1)

Maybe the Glazers and Jim agreed on Pochettino and they both said f**k what you Berrada and Wilcox think.
Weird one that the people who paid to run football operations are overruled.

So just to confirm. Berrada and Wilcox went to Monaco and back just to see if Jim agreed in an age where Google Meets, Zoom exists?!
Then we don’t get the leaks or photos? Something makes me think Berrada and Wilcox want to be seen to be working. Get rid!

I miss Edison Cavani the last proper striker we had. So many misses in the transfer market it is ridiculous.

Appointment is the right one for now but the people upstairs are so incompetent it is unreal!
Historically, this international break is a good time to sack your manager, and bring in somebody you’ve lined up. Man United have apparently decided to try to hire Pochettino in the only week he’s actually been busy for 2 months.

Fundamentals done at an elite level. No fuss just gets on with the stuff that doesn’t make a highlight reel. Top player.
This guy is a top analyst, and listen what he says about Kobbie.
I can’t say anymore. What he brings is off a real high value. Stuck with far worse performers around him. He’s actually saving their bacon while doing all jobs.
