@SwedishRumble In the past, we haven't really been good in creating options and leverage for ourselves in these discussions around transfer. We spend too much time on our key targets and don't seem to have options to pivot, so either we do at what they ask or don't, like Maguire, Sancho ...

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 —

@Muppetiers Remembers what SAF said about him.

So many United legends just disappoint you as time goes on. It's so lovely to see guys like Rooney stay supportive and do their best to make the club better, rather than seeming bitter to those trying to restore its glory.

@JacobsBen We shouldn't waste time honestly, just pay or shut up. Reintegrate him if needed else his agent should find a solution.

Barcelona set for talks this week with Manchester United to try and agree a deal for Marcus Rashford. Rashford has terms in place and is waiting for a club-to-club solution. #MUFC have consistently told Barcelona to pay the €30m clause.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 talksport.com/football/42834…

@TyrellMalaciia @ManUtd Wish you much success!

Grateful for every moment, every challenge and every memory. ❤️ Thank you to the fans, my teammates, the staff and everyone at the club for the support throughout this journey. It’s been an honour to wear this shirt. Wishing the club all the best for the future. 🙏🏾

@brfootball they would need to organize a lot of friendlies to keep the squad of 50 players busy

Xabi Alonso’s Chelsea will 𝐧𝐨𝐭 be playing in Europe next season as they finish 10th in the league ❌

In a league of his own. Bruno Fernandes breaks the record for the most assists in a Premier League season!

@SwedishRumble One is a great politician and the other a great politician wannabe ;)

Carragher is a tremendous asset for Liverpool. Post career is he running eights around Gary ’I want to be a politician’ Neville and co. Liverpool is keeping Arne Slot, so let’s make the story about United. When a rival club gets a manager who comes in and show promise — he will from day 1 try to undermine that manager. Yet — Slot, nah, give him time. Thing is — Carragher is smart. It is — braindead — to sack Arne Slot right now. It’s something the Glazers, Jimmie R and Wilcox could do. Liverpool is in a big transition. Let’s say you sack Slot now, they sign Iraola, he spends time steering the team in his direction — and they get a crappy start. Can easily happen. Does Iraola last a year? You get into a vicious circle. You should in most situations only change manager in very stable conditions. It’s too tough in the PL to bring in a new manager to a XI with flaws, turmoil in the dressing room, transition period on the pitch and what not. The only thing that baffles me is that anyone take Carragher serious when he starts with his nonsense.

@TeleFootball @Carra23 Guardiola already tired after 10 seasons and scratching his head until bleeding while SAF coached three different generations to success over 20 years at United, only retired because his wife needed him. He didn’t have the wealth of the country backing him either.

🏆 "Those placing Ferguson ahead of Guardiola baffle me. I struggle to agree with a single reason to justify that claim." @Carra23 explains why Guardiola leaves Manchester City as the greatest football coach there has ever been 👇 telegraph.co.uk/football/2026/…

@SullyTalkz @UtdDistrict Suddenly feel the urge to support Spurs avoiding relegation…..

🚨EXCL: #MUFC believe Mateus Fernandes is giving them priority over other clubs following talks with his reps. 21 yo is high on the shortlist with Carrick and data team rating him highly too. Deal dependant on #WHU asking fee + PL situation. @UtdDistrict roundtable.io/sports/soccer/…

@ManUtd Bruno, Bruno, Bruno....

No-one does it like him. Bruno Fernandes is the Premier League Player of the Year 🤩❤️

@FabrizioRomano City’s Football Management: “Pep is leaving, let’s just find the best manager that looks 90% Pep and pretend he is still there….”

💙🔜 Up next at Manchester City: Enzo Maresca, set to be announced as #MCFC manager soon.

@Muppetiers So Baleba, Ederson, Fernandes then?

Ederson - Very real target, but United will be looking for less than some of the prices coming out of Italy claiming agreement is done. Still, with club talks on, and the player side settled, this one is moving forwards. Further approaches to Brighton & West Ham expected following the weekend. muppetiers-tracker.netlify.app/.netlify/funct…

@theMadridZone @diarioas Why don't we just do 190 countries so everyone can play and not excluded.

🚨 NEW: There are plans to EXPAND the World Cup to 66 teams for the 2030 edition. The proposal was first made by CONMEBOL a few months ago, and now it has renewed energy thanks to different federations. @diarioas

@CuttheBull1234 @SwedishRumble why do you think we have financial advantage? Could it be because we have a huge fan base and following? Because of our success in the past and history? We haven't been bankrolled by anyone especially not our owners. We grew organically, that is the difference !

@SwedishRumble Hold up. We have a Man U fan talking about financial advantage. Fucking hell. Your clubs entire success was based on financial advantage, and for many years nicking the best players off your rivals. Show me all the times you argued against this when it came to Man U?

So Villa didn’t have the financial upper hand vs Freiburg since they spent about the same on transfers? Well, Aston Villa spent £272m on wages (24/25) and Freiburg spent £76m (23/24). Can we stop acting like looking at transfer fees or ”net transfer spend” in isolation mean something?

@SwedishRumble The media doesn't really help because they are always just highlighting the spend but I also don't expect sport journalists to be financially literate. Investment in players is much more than just transfer fee, there are agent fees, sign on bonus, ongoing compensation etc.

@Arsenal Congratulations! You win it fair and square without 115! 👏👏👏

The Arsenal. Your Premier League champions.

@mufcMPB Wellbeck

@BenDesigned They say the same thing each year, what do you expect club to say? We will spend lavishly and money is no concern?
