United tried to pursue Haaland when he left RB Salzburg in December 2019, but ended up backing out of the race to sign him because Raiola was insistent that a release clause must be inserted into the player’s contract.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer retains an interest in Haaland, but the fact that he is represented by Raiola means a move to Old Trafford is highly unlikely.

United are not exactly on good terms with Raiola and the club are likely to prioritise another bid for Jadon Sancho, the Dortmund winger, next summer instead.

 

Sancho has been shit in multiple games this season

he was horrid in the 1 5 Stuttgart pounding, Reus was even worse, they are so fucked without Håland

ZERO chance he is, atm, worth the £135m or so Dortmund want

I would say £75m max

only 3 players on the planet I would pay over £100m for are Mbappe and Håland and (I can hear the screams now, lol) maybe Kane (but he turns 28 in the coming summer, so it isn't like you are going to more than 4 or 5 absolute prime years max out of him, and to prise him away would take Coutinho/Hazard money (or more), which is just crazy)

maybe Davies (100m on the nose MAX), but we have Ben so fuck that

De Bruyne turns 30yo in 6 months, so nope (although he is by far the best AMF at this moment)

Mane and Salah turn 30 during (Mane) and right after(Salah) next season, so hard pass on dropping 100m or more

I am off the boil a wee bit on Sterling (defo would not turn him down for the squad at a decent price, but a decent price will never be had for him)

Neymar turns 30 in a little over a year, so nope

TA-A is too poor defensively and Reece is on pace to potentially be a better all-around RB, we shall know 3 years from now or so if this is true

VVD could be 30yo the next time he plays a completive match, and we have no idea how he will recover, as he is huge man who will put insane strain on that knee

Felix looks to be blowing up a bit, but zero shot I would drop £100+ million on him atm (maybe down the road) and I am not sure if his game is that tailor made for the EPL, as he is so slight of figure and can be bullied now 

Zero chance I would drop £100m on Oblak (or any keeper) that is just crazy, especially as Oblak is 29 in a year, and for £110m we damn well better get 7 plus years out of him, and how good is he going to be when he is 34, 35, 36yo (he is pretty short  (less than an inch taller than Kepa) so not like can rely on size when his relaxes and leaping slow down) Samir Handanovic is 36 and starting to show real age, and 34yo's Manuel Neuer and Kasper Schmeichel are the only other great keepers over 33yo. A Buffon is a true freak.

No way is Gimenez or Marquinhos worth 100m

Maybe De Ligt is down the road, but not atm.

That is it for any players who would be remotely said to be candidates for £100m transfers.

Ansu Fati may, may get there, but far too soon to say, same for Youssoufa Moukoko.

He is a fool. He is 33yo in 2 months, and will never find a system that is adapted for him like Atalanta's is.

Willian linked to Sociedad says he is already fed up with Arsenal and wants out, hope it doesn't happen because it makes Arsenal stronger.

It was such a terrible combination, gave me eye cancer. dull plaid pattern on the grey suit, combined with an non-fitted black shirt and weirdly enough blue tie. Complete reversal of every styleguide. Every IB intern knows, tie should be lighter than the shirt but darker than the suit duh.

Szoboszlai and Sabitzer together. Great midfield. Austro-Hungarian empire finest 👍
