@CJH938558014228 @sistoney67 @ManUtd If PSG players could convert the chances setup by Herrera, they would have won the champions league back then
English
@sistoney67 @ManUtd Often hear this argument but think Ander Herrera is overlooked in this conversation a technical, talented midfielder who wouldn’t have looked out of place in most top sides, earning a move to PSG at the tail end of his career.
English
As @ManUtd close in on first signing under Michael Carrick, it could be argued they haven't signed a top central midfielder since....Michael Carrick. bbc.co.uk/sport/football…

@sistoney67 @ManUtd Ander Herrera, single handedly man marked the best PL player of the season, Eden Hazard out of the game and also scored in the same match
English
€80m for Gordon. €100m for Alvarez. How much are #FCB going to offer for Rashford? €10m?
English
@FrankEra_ Why does the club needs to make you feel better when the most important thing is to find players that want to play for the badge & suits the manager playstyle 😂
English
Look.. if Ederson really is £35M (rising to £38M) on a £75,000 week salary *financially* it’s not a terrible deal.
Buy 2 other TOP midfielders and United fans (including myself) will feel a lot better about the deal.
INEOS have probably earned the right to be trusted overall.
English
The best 3 midfielders signing for Man Utd in 26/27 season?
Ederson, Khephren Thuram & Tonali.
Tonali, PL proven & B2B midfielder to partner Mainoo. Ederson for better defensive cover but not too much drop off in passing. Thuram is similar to Mainoo & better at aerial duels.
Squawka@Squawka
COMPARED: Ederson vs. Casemiro per 90 in the league in 2025/26. 🕶️
English
Will Man Utd go for Thuram?
Physical, ball carrier & good passer. Fit in well with other French speaker, Mbeumo & Yoro in the squad.

@Ash1shme @analyzingfutbol Mad take. Ederson is only 27, entering his peak with champions league experience & also an Europa league winner that defeated an unbeaten Leverkusen in 23/24 season.
You speak like he’s 33, playing football at your house backyard
English
@analyzingfutbol Need to sell most of them.
We are making the same mistake with ederson ( no injury concerns) will need to sell him in year or 2
English
You want your money on the pitch in 2 seasons…
Where is all that 2024/2025 money? On the bench or injured most of the time.

@ronaldobrownn_ Sunderland was expected to be relegated & spent less than Newcastle yet now Sunderland is in Europa league. While Newcastle isn’t even in Europe.
Big signings don’t guarantee success.. Same thing happened at Liverpool. The correct player profile is important
English
Just can’t shake the gut feeling about the Ederson signing, not a big fan of it.
Feels like a capped return on investment, without a long term picture.
United are in a position to make a big stride forward. Signings like him are how you only take baby steps.

When I watched Ederson in the past three seasons, the things that stood out to me were his running capabilities and engine. Covers a lot of ground defensively and never stops tracking back. In the final 1/3, he makes a lot of exceptional runs into the box and into open space. Gives you a G/A threat and an indirect creative one via the separation his off-ball runs create - that’s why I pretty much said in a different comment you’ll notice a lot of “McTominayness” about him in the final 1/3 and box. Defensively, I thought his positioning and game intelligence as a sitter that can hold the midfield together wasn’t really a strong attribute of his. Was never a huge fan of the way he defends large spaces when team is transitioning. But he does have good awareness, timing, and anticipation to sniff out danger and break out the play. On the ball, I felt he was a bit underwhelming. Never struck me as a strong progressive passer (not outstanding either in general play). I mean he can cross from wide but he’s mostly a reliable circulator and recycler of play. Not really a secondary controller/creator type of profile. In buildup, didn’t see him as a reliable exit point that can withstand pressure and turn comfortably when pressed. But I did like the fact that he allows you to build out from the back with bounce passes (good alternative). Has the physical stature required in midfield, stride length to cover ground and reclaim the ball from fast runners, and tank to keep running for a full 90. Not a particularly bad player. In my opinion, he’s being considered as a a strong candidate at United because of his versatility - what he offers as a runner and ground coverage as a ball-winner.

@SwedishRumble Man Utd should not be held ransom by ridiculous asking price by other clubs.

I will make a more comprehensive post on this later — but signing Ederson has the added benefit that it improves our negotiation position in relation to other midfield targets.
Simply — negotiations are extremely simple. They are all about ”leverage”. Hence, negotiations are all about selecting when you negotiate and the position you are in when you negotiate.
We will never get good deals for Ugarte and Onana because we have zero leverage. We are in a much better position to negotiate a decent deal for Matheus Fernandes because West Ham got relegated which gives us leverage.
To be able to enter negotiations when it suits you — you need time and flexibility. We never have either.
Newcastle were in a horrible position leverage-wise when they signed Woltemade and Wissa. They had ran out of time.
Without Ederson or our first CM signing — pannick is around the corner. The summer will fly by with the World Cup. Any selling club can stall a transfer which just will put more pressure on United. Everyone will try to push us into the same corner Newcastle ended up in last summer. Get in Ederson and Fernandes and everyone wanting to go to MUFC will have to start to think of things from a fear of missing out perspective. From a Tchoumani POV, we have 3 midfielders to sign. He can take his time. If Fernandes and Ederson get done — it’s 1 spot and all it takes is another deal to get done and the door is shut.
In this context —

🚨 Man Utd's plan to sign a marquee midfielder is not expected to be altered by Ederson's potential arrival. Chiefs at Old Trafford have earmarked significant investment to sign a successor to Casemiro. [@StevenRailston] #MUFC

@chrisoguguoo @cainsmithMU They thought Arsenal won the PL with just one £100mil, Declan Rice.
6/7 of Arteta signed players this season, played avg 24 matches in the PL. the rotation & squad depth helped them to the champions league final too.
English
@cainsmithMU There's something called 'squad depth'. If Mount is staying and United are signing 2-3 new midfielders, it means the squad depth improves
There'll be four competitions to play for next season and you need a big squad to account for injuries, fatigue, and rotations
English
Might be cope but the way Carrick wants to play does give Mount a decent chance of performing when he’s on the pitch. His best asset is prob being able to help in those quick passing moves like for Mbeumo’s goal.
Problem is where he’s getting those minutes and who over, esp after we sign 2/3 midfielders

@JunQrT_777 @utdrobbo I already blocked a few accounts for spewing nonsense & spreading negativity. There are far more productive things to read about football out there.
Don’t care for how many followers they have or their blue ticks
English
@Medianothe @utdrobbo All they think about is that " if you bring in this player, you're not serious ". Bullshit🤣.
English
If you're going to sign "proven" players:
❌minimal to no adaptation period needed
❌consistent standout at PL/UCL level
❌great market opportunity at lower cost
❌perfect fit for the squad/team
I do not see the point in signing him, at all.

🚨🇧🇷 Manchester United emissaries have been on a mission in Italy for several transfer topics (exits/incomings). Talks advanced also for Éderson, agreement close but still waiting for United decision on whether they want to proceed and close the deal. 🎥 youtu.be/KrQM9X-pnBc
English
Blocking all the Man Utd “fan” accounts deliberately farming engagements by posting negative comments on the club recruiting Ederson without even some proper common sense in place. Have some shame.
