5 Players Man Utd Should Sign in the Summer

[@NeverGiveIn1999]

I genuinely don’t know how Dave hasn’t been snapped up by a scouting department 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@omarmuhammad1561]

Been saying this for years 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@ronanfitzpatrick1261]

It's frustrating as a United fan as his suggestions just make sense - I mean it'd be fine if United got turned down or went for a similar player but...

His channel is growing. As a content creator, I see that he lacks edutainment in his presentations. People come not only for information but also to be entertained. Have you ever seen him laughing?? No.... But I appreciate his work and I subscribed to this channel many years ago.

[@thedirtybubble2983]

If the Qataris get United, they need to get him into the scouting department

[@amemji5873]

yea I’ve been wondering same thing could be a decent DOF

[@leonhart829]

Thank you so, so much for mentioning Gift Orban Dave. The kid literally came out of nowhere (FC Bison, a club you can't find a google), and has killed it at every club he's been at so far, and is an exceptional talent, possibly once in a generation. Definitely a hidden gem in the world of football, but once he's found, he's going straight to the top. A wonderkid who literally came out of nowhere.

[@Mr.Apex99]

This club is gonna gimme a heart attack 😭 If we don't get some players in, we're gonna get absolutely pummeled as soon as the season kicks off.

[@zeondeane2832]

Wont sign players until after new financial on 30th June.

[@triciahayward5490]

Well i dont think we will not sign anybodyithink glaziers are milking the club begore go spending money is not intheir plan

[@victorkreig6089]

We put everyone in the league to the sword despite playing more than not just anyone in the league but anyone in the world and we did it with an almost non-existent bench and pretty much zero recovery time. With the team we have right now even we will be dominating and probably be at the top of the table since our schedule will be much much easier, we are also adding back Greenwood who the entire league is completely unprepared for especially since Ten Hag will most likely be changing his position constantly. We are signing Mount that's happening, we are going to get a real keeper that is happening, and there's a very good chance we will get Hojlund, that alone would guarantee us the title The Prem hasn't even gotten to see Ten Hag at full strength yet, you yourself will even be surprised

[@Mr.Apex99]

@@victorkreig6089 first of all, everything positive you said concerning the new season is depends on fortifying the squad as you've identified some players you'd like to see United sign. That's no different from what I said. And lemme add that the reason I said we'd be pummeled if we do not strengthen the squad is that other clubs in the EPL are consolidating on what they managed to achieve last season. Look at Newcastle, Arsenal, City, and even Spurs. If u think this Man United squad can compete for the title next season with very little or no additions, then you need to wake up to reality, my friend. And the fact that you think a few additions would guarantee us the title made me smile. I'd like that too, but it's highly unlikely. But of course it would make us contenders.

[@BlackChrishi]

​@@victorkreig6089this is more than optimistic. this is delusional. You saw City win the treble almost too easily and they're making more signings and you think just Mount and a controversial Greenwood will be enough to compete with a strengthened Arsenal or a Saudi backed Newcastle or the Europeless Chelsea that has got some structure?

Unlike some of the other pundits who just want united to sign a dream team of players, SMD actually builds a team in the United way of old. United in the SAF era bought young players, developed them, and had the one big money signing to help right away. Obviously, we are in a different time, and players cost more, but investing in youth and moulding them how you want to play is key. All these players named would be terrific signings.

[@sjkdbuwauxiohceunbk3483]

[@lordjesselingardinho2193]

@@joshuagibson1544 I have a hunch that if Ric signs for City they would probably sell Rodri to Xavi cause Xavi is obsessed with recreating the Iniesta Xavi Busquets, they got Pedri and Gavi and we all know De Jong is not a Busquets and Xavi himself don't rate him in that position as he lacks physicality. So they could sell De Jong to United in order to generate money for Rodri the Spanish CDM.

[@kanishkadhar8748]

Liverpool has recently signed Dominick Szoboszlai from RB Leipzig, TAA also played in the midfield last season and I think Klopp will have the tendency to play TAA in midfield, there midfield is packed and have a great quality of depth. So I want to suggest a player who can start as a right back and then tuck in to form a 3 at the back to cover up for TAA defensive weaknesses , my suggestion is Lucas Martinez Quarta (plays for Fiorentina and an Argentine International, his defensive and passing stats are world class!!!! He deserves a chance to play in a top club and he is very good on the ball, so liverpool I think must buy him which will give Klopp a good option to be flexible with his selections).

[@Footbalfactory]

Great scout analysis please Dave you need to send this video to the Manchester united scouting department or someone close to Ten Hag it's gonna create awareness to help moving forward I know you have the connection and I know you're a fan who want the club progress consider doing it🙏🏻❤️💯

[@ianthrasher471]

I honestly think we'd be better off signing all the players listed here instead of the overly expensive targets we will undoubtedly go for instead.

[@huseroland]

And Hojlund pretty much turned out to be our only useful signing this year...

[@nishantsinha8359]

All 5 signs are super young and have a high risk of not fulfilling their potential which is a very common pattern. Can United take that risk? I don’t think so. Based on the financial and ownership mess we have at hand all we need to do is make signings that will guarantee us top 4 finish. Top 4 finish will strengthen our new owners to have a clear and strong approach to 2024 transfers. Hojuland, Mount and Onana are those signings. What Dave has suggested are really good long term plans but we cannot just plan for long term. You gotta mix it up with some short term targets as well like Kane if we can.

[@StatmanDave]

1000000000% but I thought people might want some alternative targets. The big name targets will get their own focus, hopefully when they sign 🤞

[@euanmd1295]

@@StatmanDave We were in for the likes of Bellingham, Haaland, Alvarez and Caicedo early when they were cheap on top of Amad and Garnacho. Someone at the club is identifying the talent. But whoever is doing the deals isn't getting them over the line or is going for safer options. Maybe we should listen to the talent id guys more. These guys plus Verbruggen, Veiga and others could save us a ton in the long run, and of course help with FFP.

[@AnthonyMunyi]

@@StatmanDave actually I think the players you mentioned should be highly considered by Man United with the kind of budget they are working with this summer. The way I see it, Man United should be in for three starters only - striker, LCM and GK. Onana and Mount could do well in there, with Kane or Hojlund up front. The other targets, I think United have miscouted. No need to try to get Rice or Caicedo if you get Mount, or even Kudus - who I can see doing well in midfield. You could buy Kudus, Debast and Andre for the price of Caicedo, and break the bank on an elite striker like Osimhen if you need to.

[@almac9203]

​@@AnthonyMunyiyou don't need Mount. He is bang average plus he is a number 10 when we need a number 8.

[@suryac850]

My suggestions - RB= Brandon Williams/ Frimpong CB = Ibrahima Bamba, Jean-Claire Todibo, Axel Tuanzebe ST= Hojland, Oshimen, Pedro(Brazilian) as backup, Evan Ferguson(Brighton), Sell Martial CDM = Florentino Luis ( Benfica) , Ibrahim Sangare GK = Gavin Bazunu, Giorgi Mamardashvili CM = Dani Olmo/ Mason Mount/ Hanibal Mejbri( he is good for first team), Fabrizio Diaz( Liverpool in Uruguay) RW = Nico Williams( Athletic Bilbao), Angel ( Santos Brazil), or just play Amad Diallo We have good players in the academy itself, they should get a chance to play.

[@IGoulden]

I thought I’d take a look at Statman Dave’s recommended transfers over the years. To be fair, while there were a few he got wrong (no one is perfect), his strike rate is actually quite high. Therefore, I agree, we should get Andre asap.

[@TyronePhiri]

Please do a fulham tactics video they have done really well last season

[@RandomVideosFirst]

IN:- Caicedo or luis florentino, Mount, Onana GK, Jean Clair Todibo, Olise, Muani or Hojlund, and lastly reinstate Greenwood OUT:- Maguire, Sancho, Martial, Henderson, Mctominay, Fred, VDB, Bailly, Telles

[@konnen4518]

Why are we not in for Milinkovic Savic? I’ve wanted that guy in our team for like four years.

[@Romaro-pe4qk]

[@claywandera2486]

kevin mantilla for cb also 18yrs would be a great prospect, casemiro back up charlie patino is a cheap option if they can get him though amrabat would be ideal if he wants the move, guler (hard working ozil version) would be a great purchase with suggestions of van de beek going, alex scott would also be a good midfield addition with the sale of fred on the cards but also conclude the mount deal if possible, zeki amdouni would be a forward addition as well as the return of greenwood and taremi would be also good to enable the younger forwards get better withut the pressure.

[@anubhavpraharaj5782]

As long as Pellestri is there I don't think Utd would go dor Guler. And Utd should definitely go for Manu Kone.

[@79AlienFinger79]

While I think most of these players would be great value, I think it would make sense to compliment the seemingly imminent signing of Onana with an attacking left-back. Given Barca's financial issues, *Alejandro Balde* would be a potential robbing. Elsewhere, contract renegotiations between Bayern and *Alphonso Davies* have broken down, and with Bayern already having signed an elite leftback in Raphaël Guerreiro, seemingly to replace him, it would look like an opportune time to make a move. If Harry Maguire leaves, Shaw could oscillate between a very wide left-sided centerback position and the fullback role, shoring up the left side of defence nicely. But why do I think this would pair well with Onana? Well, Onana pushes further out into the midfield than any other keeper United has been linked with, which lets his team split their centerbacks really wide. This means that the fullbacks will naturally play further forward (even more so when considering that Onana would allow for a generally higher defensive line as well) and thus have more opportunities to go forward at opportune moments. Furthermore, splitting the centerbacks like this allows for even a less pacy midfielder to cover the area, even against a fast winger, since the opposition can't as easily play long balls down the line to make it a footrace. The result is would be that United's fullbacks would be in better positions to go forward when the chance presents itself (because they'd be in more advanced positions) *and* the risk involved in taking those chances would diminish substantially. I'd argue that it makes sense to lean into this with an attack-minded left-back who likes to defend further up the field. As a side bonus, since Jaden Sancho has historically struggled on the left without an overlapping fullback, this could finally be the season where he begins to come into his own in a United shirt. Maybe not to the degree that he displayed at Dortmund, but I'd definitely not cash out on him just yet.

[@User-wr9kl]

Sir David can you make a video explaining amrabats stats and maybe explain why his stats do not match the eye test. Also would he be a good addition to the squad what are his best attributes, etc.

[@vegardvang519]

Totally agree with all players. Sadly I don’t think they will buy any of them and spend all budget on 1-2 players that aren’t even going to improve the first 11

[@Prasanth631]

Sad to say but I'd be genuinely surprised if United signed even one of them. United rarely if ever makes good signings and in those few cases end up paying an arm and a leg to get someone not to mention the often seen protracted negotiations. I'm so sick of the front office playing coy year after year. This is no longer the Manchester United I fell in love with.💔
