@MartienBall INEOS and crew shot themselves on the foot with their over confidence. If Fernandez goes to Spurs, let see the garbage they would sign. First target gone now second about to slip away from them.

What exactly do INEOS want though? They paid £40m for a 27 year old SQUAD player, yet they expect to get their top target for £50-60m? Are they serious? I’ve said before that paying £80m for a Championship player is ridiculous, but I hope they understand they aren’t getting Tchouameni for anything less than that. They promised a “marquee” signing, but you’re definitely not getting one for £60m.

@UtdForever7 @ManUtd @premierleague Bunch of retards

🚨In one of Manchester United’s most important transfer windows in years, INEOS seem determined not to pay “over the odds” while every major rival is spending aggressively. • Elliot Anderson? Too expensive. • Sandro Tonali? Too expensive. • Mateus Fernandes? Reluctant to meet the asking price. Meanwhile: • Man City are ready to spend £120m on Anderson and are monitoring Tonali. • Spurs are willing to pay £100m for Tonali and £85m for Mateus Fernandes. • Liverpool have spent heavily last year and are reportedly ready to go again with Yan Diomande. • Arsenal are prepared to spend around £100m on Morgan Rogers. At some point, if you want elite players, you have to pay elite prices. Manchester United cannot keep watching top targets slip away while rivals strengthen. We will never close the gap on our rivals if we refuse to spend. This is the new reality of football. Look across Europe — clubs like Real Madrid and FC Barcelona are having €150m bids rejected and still remain in the race because they understand that’s the market. Elite players cost elite money. That’s not changing anytime soon. The club needs to wake up — and it needs to happen now.

@samuelluckhurst Fernandez is the cause of all this nonsense. If he really wanted United, he would stick to it. He doesn't want to join United period.

#mufc at risk of being blown out of the water by Tottenham on wages for Mateus Fernandes. Spurs going big on targets’ salaries whereas United have started to get wage management under control thesun.co.uk/sport/39530259…

@FabrizioRomano Chelsea moving fast than @ManUtd

@AdamJoseph @ManUtd And United hierarchy are enjoying the media noise than signing players.

@AdamJoseph Tchouameni is Ugarte 2.0. We need a EPL proven player and not someone whom would take time to adapt to the league. Why can't we put in 68 plus add on since we've missed out on Anderson. Seems we keep identifying players for other clubs to sign @ManUtd

I don't know what will happen with Mateus Fernandes, but we'll find out pretty soon. I've always felt he was the 'can't miss signing' of this summer like Mbeumo was. Even if it's because the fee has become way overpriced, it'd be disappointing to miss out on him. If Manchester United do walk away, the due diligence on other players (in a deep CM market) better be ready to act upon, because if you're missing out on priority targets eventually you're giving yourself far less margin for error as you move down your list. Next few/several days the pace will pick up, no doubt.

@MickRuby_MURTV Why is @ManUtd quite? Don't they want to sign players quickly so that they can go on pre season after the world cup. We need to sort out the midfield problem immediately since it's our top priority.

And has it occurred to anyone that Spurs could also be using Matheus Fernandes as leverage to put pressure on Newcastle? 👀 Their MAIN target is . 🎯 Tonali Newcastle already rejected their opening £75m bid. ❌💰 Now suddenly all this noise around Fernandes, Spurs “leading”, and willingness to go over £85m for West Ham’s valuation yet put a bid for 75 m for Tonali 🤔 Seen these negotiation tactics too many times. Create pressure. Force movement. Shift the market. 📈🎭 This window is far from straightforward. ⏳🔥 #MUFC #THFC #NUFC #Tonali #MatheusFernandes #Transfers

@markgoldbridge Another Ugarte. We are running away from EPL proven player to someone who will come in and take alot of time to adapt to the pace of EPL. We are making a huge mistake.

Enzo to Madrid. Tchouameni to United. Only United's Wage limit can defeat us now

@Nuel006 Players from EPL will always be expensive. United should've known this and place their bid. The hierarchy are just reluctant about solving the midfield problem. Now all their targets are slipping away from them. Let's see how they cope next season.

Man City paid £100m for Grealish. Arsenal paid £105m for Declan Rice. Chelsea paid £106m for Enzo & £115m for Caicedo. Liverpool paid £116m for Wirtz & £125m for Isak. All of these teams have won the Premier League in the last 13 years while we haven’t. Three of them have won the Champions League, and one has the ONLY Club World Cup, all while spending big. Yet Manchester United ACCOUNTANTS think INEOS shouldn’t pay £85m for Mateus Fernandes. We’re not ready to win anything, and I truly feel sorry for Carrick. He deserved better.

@JacobsBen United keep dragging things and letting clubs know their transfer deals. This will hurt them badly.

Spurs are in advanced talks with Mateus Fernandes as they rival Manchester United for the West Ham midfielder. Fernandes is one of Tottenham's top targets, as exclusively revealed. West Ham seeking £80m-£85m, around double what they paid to Southampton. An incoming £90m shareholder cash injection is likely to leave West Ham in a stronger negotiating position. Manchester United are also in talks with both Fernandes and West Ham. Spurs are also rivalling Manchester City for Sandro Tonali. And Spurs, Manchester United and Arsenal all have Alex Scott on their radar, who Bournemouth hope signs a new deal. Movement expected now in the next days/weeks on all fronts as clubs enter into the new financial year.⚒️

@KrrishFT Keep recycling fake news just for Elon money.

🚨 | BREAKING : MATEUS FERNANDES 🇵🇹 Understand Mateus Fernandes has given his approval to Tottenham Hotspur’s contract proposal, personal terms sorted! 🚨⚪️#THFC Mateus Fernandes has given green-light to Spurs contract proposal until June 2031, with an option to extend it for another season, June 2032. Salary worth £8m gross per season. 💣💥 Roberto De Zerbi has been key to get the personal terms done, held talks with Mateus Fernandes to explain him the project and his role, and convinced Mateus to open the possibility of a Spurs move! 🇮🇹🚨 Manchester United still pushing, they have approval from Mateus Fernandes since weeks, but agreement with West Ham is currently difficult. WHUFC want £85m package, while MUFC offering £65m package. 🔴👀 Tottenham Hotspur pushing too, but they are ready to offer high package to Spurs, situation remains open if MUFC decide to raise their budget for Mateus Fernandes! 👀🚨

@WestHam_Central Nothing will still happen. No be EPL we dey again. Ask City and Liverpool how they collect wotowoto for united hand.

Imagine they have Kudus, Fernandes and Summerville in their XI next season 🤣 our £200m sugar daddies, that Spurs

@Wizarab10 It's good to define your relationship. Since he's not ready, my sister bounce. Him wan use you pass time.

It is not good for your mental health.

@Emmanuel_Tips Oko ike🤣🤣🤣 Some men dey chop rubbish

Treat infection, u say no way... oya look at yourself outside 🤣😂

@KingAndreasss @mufcMPB @MarioCortegana He'll struggle to adapt to the league. We need an EPL tested type of midfielder

@mufcMPB @MarioCortegana Manchester United fans, would you rather take Tchouameni if we miss out on Mateus fernandes

🚨 JUST IN: Real Madrid WOULD CONSIDER offers for Aurélien Tchouaméni. He could be of interest to Manchester United. #MUFC [@MarioCortegana]

@UnitedRedem The guy isn't good. No wonder PSG sold him ASAP for Neves.

Manchester United didn't sign the wrong player. They created the wrong environment for the player they signed. Manuel Ugarte arrived as one of Europe's most aggressive ball-winning midfielders. At Sporting CP and Paris Saint-Germain, his job was simple: recover possession, break up attacks, cover space, and allow more creative players to dictate the game. Yet at United, he has often been asked to do the opposite. The problem is that Ugarte is not a deep-lying playmaker. He isn't Rodri. He isn't Toni Kroos. He won't complete 100 passes or control the rhythm of every match. That was never the player United paid over £40 million for. This has become a familiar story at Old Trafford. The club repeatedly buys specialists and then asks them to become something else. Donny van de Beek was not a holding midfielder. Fred was not a tempo-setter. Schneiderlin was not a creative passer. Now Ugarte faces the same problem. His strengths are obvious: 🛡️ Ball winning ⚔️ Defensive duels 🏃 Covering ground 💪 Aggression and intensity His weakness is equally obvious: progressive passing under pressure. The worrying part is the lack of trust shown toward him late in the season. Being left out repeatedly suggests the club may not see him as a long-term solution. But perhaps the bigger question is this: Did Ugarte fail Manchester United? Or did Manchester United once again fail to build a midfield that suits the player they bought? Because sometimes the problem isn't recruitment. It's the plan that comes after it.

@EngMarts @FabrizioRomano Make dem no nack you 2 by 2 oh🤣🤣🤣

@skillcarter @FabrizioRomano Ehh 😂😂

🚨🇵🇹 Clear feeling on Mateus Fernandes deal as reported last week: he’s ending up to the club bringing best financial proposal to West Ham. Mateus has opened doors to both Man United first and then Tottenham, now up to the clubs. 🎥 youtu.be/f9UNOSOa8wg

@Dee_9889 We need to vote out these monsters.

Charles Aniagolu: Peter Obi says insecurity is worsening, yet the presidency insists it is improving. If security is truly getting better, how do you explain the continuous kidnappings, attacks on communities, and even the killing of military generals? Bayo Onanuga: The opposition is creating the impression that the country has been completely overrun by insecurity. I travel by road regularly and have found it to be safe. In many cases, these attacks occur at night, and the government has repeatedly advised citizens to avoid traveling at night. 😓😓

@Hindsight1011 @MickRuby_MURTV His agent like to push him to a relegation team. First Southampton, second Westham now they're trying to lure him again to a 2 time relegation escapee team named Tottenham, all bcos of money. Now that he has a better escape route to play champions league he doesn't want to push.

@MickRuby_MURTV Do you feel confident we will get this over the line, I’m just thinking based on common sense why would anyone choose spurs over united, but would like to hear your opinion

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Manchester United remain in active negotiations for Mateus Fernandes and are prepared to meet West Ham’s valuation under the right structure. 🔴 Our sources close to the club indicate Matt Hargreaves is playing a key role in negotiations, expertly managing discussions to ensure United reach a fair price, valuation, and payment structure. While West Ham are keen to spark a bidding war, Hargreaves’s approach is focused on maintaining discipline and securing terms that align with United’s long-term strategy rather than overpaying. Sources also suggest recent internal personnel changes at West Ham have impacted the process and timing of discussions. Despite the noise around Tottenham, there is still NO agreement on personal terms on that side. United remain calm and strategic, with the new financial year in July expected to be key for movement. More to follow. 👀 #MUFC #MatheusFernandes
