Desire MUFC

Thinking back… What first made you start supporting United? Family influence, a player, or a particular moment?

Probably the right outcome now. But where do you think it went wrong? The player, the club, or both?

Which player hasn’t quite kicked on this season… and is that down to coaching, role, or something else?

@lukestanley03 Glad to hear you are ok. Shocking footage.

I’m aware of a video that’s circulating of a gang of lads attacking me so just thought I’d let everyone know it was from back in 2023 and I’m all good. Thankfully made it to Luton away about 12 hours later. Jack Grealish winner. Thanks for the support. 👍🏻

@BBCNews @ASRobbo7 So sad to hear. My thoughts are with his family.

@PaddyKeoghAF Mostly sounds good to me, though going for Baleba is a worry. Also I think we need to see what happens to the end of the season with Carrick. What does everyone else think of this scenario?

👹 #MUFC update, it's been a while. Man United are targeting a versatile left back who can play further forward this summer. Nathaniel Brown is on the list. Manuel Ugarte has been linked with a move, likely to leave given limited game time. Clubs in Italy and Turkey are interested. Will happen pending incomings due to Casemiro leaving. Toby Collyer likely to be sold if a bid in excess of £7m comes in. Hasn't shone on loan this season. Has a year left on his deal with the club having an option. Andre Onana feels he can challenge after his loan spell and won't push for a move due to his massive salary. His charity commitments are more important than playing. Won't ever get a salary like the one he's on at United. Vitek will come back as number 2 after a positive loan spell this year. Could go back out on loan if we can't get rid of Onana. Club will inform Onana that they want him to leave and will have no opportunity to get him off the books. Maguire looks set to sign a new deal, unlikely to be in the market for a centre back this summer. Centre midfield is the priority, Baleba still the main target even with a poor season behind him, club and everyone else acknowledge that Elliot Anderson is likely going to City, with some even thinking it's already done. Wharton another option but also massive fee. Tonali looks like a real option too, real questions around his background given gambling addiction issues and seemingly home sick for a while. Bruno Guimaraes no. Too old, too big a fee. Eduardo Camavinga has too many red flags and the club rathers Tchouameni, but he's too expensive. Bouaddi signed a new deal, not likely, still monitored, less of a market opportunity now. Manager role not decided, club not made their mind up, Carrick has done better than expected and could stay on. Big decision to be made and he's in pole position currently. Right now it looks like it's his. Marcus Rashford will probably sign for Barcelona, but Barca want to pay less and will push for another loan with a conditional obligation. Jadon Sancho is gone. Good riddance. As said before, it wouldn't surprise me if a move to the USA happens this summer. Club could keep Tom Heaton as third choice or as a coach. Zirkzee will leave if an offer of £30m comes in, has interest in Serie A, Turkey and Premier League. Bruno Fernandes has a £57m release clause in his contract, but it can only be triggered by clubs outside the Premier League. His wife/Amorim stopped a move to Saudi last summer and he only has a year left on his deal with the option for a further year. He turns 32 in September and would be almost 34 by the end of his current deal. Its complicated and I expect this to be an issue this summer. Given the turmoil in the middle east, his wife won't move the family there and a move to Bayern, while the obvious one, seems to be off the cards. Barcelona and Real Madrid won't sign a player of his age for that money. And it's unlikely that INEOS, who were happy to sell him last summer give him an extension. It isn't beyond the realms of imagination to believe he would be offered a small increase in salary, with a 2+1 deal making him the clubs highest earner. INEOS don't want players on his salary, even if they're the star. The club would entertain offers for Mason Mount but it's unlikely they'd find a suitor given his wage demands, his salary, and a fee off around £25-30m wanted. Abubacarr Sedi Kinteh has been monitored for a while. Club also still monitoring Ognjen Ugresic. Been monitoring him for over a year. I asked about Jacob Ambæk as I had heard we had scouted him, but representatives distanced him from links, he supports Liverpool.

@DesireMUFC Sign 3 CM1 - Guimares or Anderson CM2 - Baleba or Nmecha CM3 - Stiller or Wharton or Mateus or Agoume CM4 - Kobbie This midfield is versatile

@andylance1977 Fair point l, it is early. What profile of midfielder do you think gets the best out of him to help him progress?

@DesireMUFC Do they build it around Mainoo? I like him, and he's clearly talented . I'd rather we sign a few top MFs and whoever is the best and on form should be playing. Kobbie is very talented but it's a bit early in his career to suggest building the MF around him.

With links to Bruno Guimarães… how would you build a midfield around him and Mainoo?

@mufc_micky Interesting, that’s a strong mix of profiles. What do you think is the most important role to get right alongside Mainoo?

@SamBrow74823937 Yeah agreed, and I’m sure he can still learn so much from Bruno. He’s got great promise, that hopefully he will fulfil.

@DesireMUFC He’s 20, he’s improving but he’s still has work to do before he’s the finished article, you build a team around your best player, Bruno is still the best we have by some distance.

With Mainoo also set for a new deal… does this feel like the right direction for United, or is it too soon to build around him?

@unitedwayne That’s fair, especially with the games and wages. Who would you be looking at to replace him?

@DesireMUFC The thing is he's 34 and wants 125k a week you can not beat experience but can he play 50-60 games next season if we get in the champions league

With Maguire close to signing a new deal… is that the right call for United, or should the club be moving in a different direction?

@unitedwayne Fair point, especially on the pace. Do you think that becomes less of an issue depending on how we set up, or is it a dealbreaker either way?

@DesireMUFC He could possibly cost us top 4 as no pace and injury prone I would let him go

Great to see us taking action on this 🙌

That Amad decision… if Maguire’s is given, how is Amad’s not? #BOUMUN

@derrickchongyk Yeah agreed, think we would have won without the red card and penalty.

@DesireMUFC We were robbed!! MOTM is referee and VAR 😡 we need to remind Carrick to up his collar every game!! He didn’t up his collar in New too

Full-time: Bournemouth 2-2 United. Point gained or two dropped? #BOUMUN

@B_Fernandes8 @jasperleegram Well played Bruno, well taken penalty.

a difficult one to take, but still a lot to play for. Let’s keep this energy 💪

Dalot with a nearly costly mistake… got away with that one?
