Tielemans consistently ranks among the best for progressive passing, work rate, balls in final 1/3, and tackles/interceptions.
Should’ve been signed on a free 3 years ago.
Worrying mobility for defensive transitions, so he’ll need a different partner.
€35m for sb who’s been among the best midfielders in the Prem since 22/23 is tidy business.

@mfalsafa_ @mfalsafa_ what’s your take on manu Kone and shouldn’t teams like arsenal and Man U go for him?

Andrey Santos was simply just not going to be 1st choice over 2 players who are among the best profiles itw in their position.
But Santos k*lls 4 birds with one stone.
1 - gives you the legs in midfield Casemiro lacked.
2 - replaces McTominay’s fox in the box instincts.
3 - gives you Case’s movement in the final 1/3.
4 - provides the spatial awareness to cut passing lines and break up play that a traditional #6 mould.
United don’t really need a traditional mould #6 because Carrick has pretty much optimized the OOP to not over-rely on a defensive anchor to keep everything at bay.
And this is all while acting as a secondary creator from deep, because he very much has the vision and creativity to pick out runners in space - so he practically reduces the creative burden on Bruno.
All of this pretty much depends on how United intend to use him.
Top player and the Strasbourg stint backs a lot of what I’m saying.
Kind of makes Ederson redundant now if you ask me.

@mfalsafa_ I seem to the only one on the timeline who thinks it’s actually a good deal

No idea of the bad sentiment on Santos. Had everything in his locker in that Strasbourg loan.
Does it all as a #6, #8, #10.
Workhorse. Ball manipulation + disguise to play out of pressure. Fox in box instincts in final 1/3.
If used well United won’t miss McTominay or Casemiro.

@nonewthing Do you still stand by this?
He’s up for sale this summer, is he the answer?

@SamueILFC @DaleJohnsonBBC But he literally suggests that in tweet 2.

@DaleJohnsonBBC You’re saying we can’t sign him, when we can but he has to stay there until he’s 18.
