Kelly Leak

@NoushardMUFC You really trying to us regulated.

Man United will not sign two CMs. Hear me out. We already have Kobbie Mainoo doing what he does best. If United add a CM, it’ll likely be one profile — either Matheus Fernandes or Elliot Anderson, not both. The bigger issue is DM. That’s where the squad is thinner, especially with Casemiro leaving and questions around Ugarte’s long-term role. So the real options become: • Sandro Tonali • Carlos Baleba And even then, it’ll come down to finances and priorities. You also can’t block academy integration by stacking too many midfielders at once. Bringing in two CMs while trying to develop young players makes less sense than reinforcing the DM area you’re already losing depth in. If anything, signing two DMs would make more sense structurally than signing two advanced CMs.

It was a beautiful scene at Old Trafford yesterday ❤️ One of those moments that reminds you why football means so much. Easily one of the best videos from yesterday.

@nksarh @ManUtd Different philosophy. I’m looking for players who will be here 5 to 8 years. Like a Bruno. What are you going to get from Bowen? 2 maybe 3 years tops. Big money hass to go to the midfield and left side

@abmanufan @ManUtd Those football manager mentality of signing young players rarely works. Look at Chelsea now We got mount and malacia young and what happened to them?

Lewis Hall Diouf Bowen Matheus Fernandes Elliot Anderson Tonali @ManUtd

@nksarh @ManUtd Bruno was 25 when he signed and Casemiro was a legend before he joined. We shouldn’t spend money on anyone over 30. If you’re going to spend money on a West ham wide player it’s Summerville. Plus we have Lacey waiting in the wings on the right.

@abmanufan @ManUtd Bruno is 30 We got Casemiro at 30 too And he’s better than Amad Cheaper short term

@Czooba Yah need both. What are you going to 55 matches with 3 mids?

Between Mateus Fernandes and Elliot Anderson, who would complement Kobbie Mainoo better in Man United’s midfield with Bruno Fernandes upfront?

@Nuel006 Hard pass on Baleba. Anderson, Ederson and M Fernandez.

United fans who would you take between these options? 1. Anderson, Baleba & Mainoo 2.Baleba, Matheus Fernandes & Mainoo

@SimplyUtd @sportbible Keep everyone except Malacia and Altay. Add 5 more. 3 mids, another 9 and a backup GK or LB

@Neduszn8 Sheva speed! So wasted at Chelsea

I see GENNARO GATTUSO and CLARENCE SEEDORF Guess the other player? LEVEL: You can't 🤯

@Neduszn8 DiMaria

Without mentioning DAVID BECKHAM and EDINSON CAVANI Guess a player that has played for both Manchester United and PSG LEVEL: VERY DIFFICULT 🤯

@UnitedUpdates Tyler Adams 😳.

🚨 NEW: United will be in the market for 3 new midfielders, one for around £80m, one for £40m and one for £20m. £80m list: — Kees Smit — Elliot Anderson — Sandro Tonali — Carlos Baleba — Aurlien Tchoumeni £40m list: — Ederson — Mateus Fernandes — Tyler Adams — Alex Scott [@ChrisWheelerDM] #MUFC

@ImCollegeSoccer Oh like they aren’t working every weekend with spring games and recruiting showcases. Idiotic post

The only college coaches that oppose this are the ones that…. • Don’t want their weekends tied up through practices or games all year • Realize it will be more work but the same poor salary • Don’t have the facilities to play year round • Don’t have the recruiting budgets to go recruit throughout the year while in games They are simply okay with a really heavy fall season and a more laid back spring season. #CSTruth

@FutbolAmericans @Michael90293665 @ImYouthSoccer

@Michael90293665 @ImYouthSoccer As a fan of Florida State, you can certainly appreciate poaching players (allegedly)

Would you like to see Women's College Soccer move from the current fall season to a split fall and spring season like the Men are moving to.

@cwhall75 Playing in Binghamton, Burlington, Durham and Orono in early March sounds like a blast 🙄

Now this I would love for the women’s side

So many things in life that seem phenomenal in theory are terrible in reality. The proposed split season for college soccer is one of them. Do I get the practical applications of a split season??? For sure! We complain all the time that soccer is the most demanding sport with the shortest runway. It’s crazy that we go to 0 to 60 in the amount of time that we do and cram all our games into an 11 week season. (tho at least they extended our season this year). But there are so many variables at play here. Think back to Covid when most conferences had their seasons cancelled but the P4 did not. They played all fall when the rest of us did not. Then when the NCAA announced we would have our official season in the spring, they all got a second season. This was in essence a trial run for the split season. One of my close friends who coaches at a P4 school detailed an eye opening account of all the reasons why the coaches and the players absolutely hated it. (And keep in mind this is a big time program, lots of national team players, and presumably, the most talented and most committed college players there are) 1) The obvious answer was it was just too long. He said they were all absolutely fried and over it by the end of the spring semester. And again, you are talking the upper echelons of talent and even they were miserable 2) When we are in season and focusing on games, the training is completely different than the spring. We are basically surviving and preparing for each subsequent game. We often say that every bit of player development comes in the spring. Hand in hand with that also comes playing time for the entire bottom, half of your bench who are given game opportunities to prove themselves. The same coach elaborated that those players we’re very discouraged after basically sitting on a bench, the whole YEAR and feeling like they were not getting the individual development that had occurred in a real off-season. 3) After sacrificing more than a decade of life, our seniors are so looking forward to being a “normal“ person for senior year spring semester. For the first time in life, as long as they can remember, they are able to relax and not have every single choice dictated by a sport for their last few months of “childhood”. The split season obviously requires that they play right up until graduation. 4) College athletes have a huge burnout factor, and the winter break is such a great opportunity for them to take a breather and recharge and come back with a renewed sense of commitment. A split season means that Christmas break is spent grinding with zero downtime as they prepare to come back and play games out of the gate. 5) Never mind where recruiting fits into all of this? Spring is huge for our recruiting efforts and we all just might lose our minds if we are trying to juggle all of that with also running an entire real season. 6) The entire northern half of the country will be completely screwed with this. This past winter that was so cold and snowy is a perfect example. There would have been no way in hell that games would have been able to be played in parts of February and March in many places. There are plenty of schools who have grass fields in cold climates as well—are they just supposed to now play some games on grass and some on turf and have zero consistency? 7) This will undoubtedly result in schools being forced to build turf fields and create logistical administrative nightmares given that many lacrosse teams and soccer team share fields. Someone else pointed out that it will be a good excuse for schools to eliminate more soccer programs especially when we are at a point with NIL that schools need to figure out how to save money on Olympic sports not create monumental new costs

@Mufcjnr1 It’s called squad depth. Crucial when your going to play 55 - 60 matches

If we sign this Éderson alongside Matheus Fernandes, I think it’s absolutely over for Kobbie. At best he becomes a substitute, but I don’t see him starting ahead of these guys. Is Manchester United grooming Kobbie to sell him for $150m? Because I barely see him featuring over any of the midfielders we’re linked with.

@UTDRico8 They both look gassed. I’m thinking AFCON fatigue

This was how Amad and Mbeumo was moving at the beginning of the season btw Confidence is such a scary concept man.

@StretfordPaddck Depends on if we find a decent backup to Sesko. If we hav to use Cunha and Mbeumo up front we need a Lacey in the rotation.

Would you keep Shea Lacey as depth on the wing next season, or send him out on loan to gain experience? 👀🔴 Let us know 👇 #MUFC

@UtdActive All the AFCON players look spent.

What you think is going on with Amad?

@wealth_united_ Y’all really trying to end up like Spurs next season with a bunch of exits with no replacements

Players we need to offload Dalot Shaw Amad Zirkzee Ugarte Add yours 👇
