BREAKING! United BID for Nuno MENDES! Man Utd Transfer News

[@joaotainha1002]

Portuguese here. Nuno Mendes is a great creative player and played with Amorim when SCP was champion. But here's the catch, Nuno Mendes injury prone... i dont think it's the way to go. It's a big risk.

[@Ladioz]

We're used to having injury prone players, this is fine for us lol

[@DK-vw1of]

here we go again with managers getting their old players....

​@@DK-vw1ofIf they work in your system and you know you can trust them, I've no problem with that.

So basically Shaw but Portugese

[@JuniorJedi1]

If he’s injury prone then surly it would be a mistake to get another dodgy left back

[@Tolbiny]

I no longer get excited about any potential signing. I remember people on here ecstatic and shouting “We’ve got Antony!!!” Let’s just see if they can cut it at United and in the PL, eh?

[@United4Eternity]

Agreed, my expectations for this club are gone now, I would embrace relegation if it means it improves us in the long term. People who think we have a divine right to win titles need to wake up, we are nowhere near it.

[@reddev9973]

I was one of those shouting "We've got Antony"✋😂

Excellent player, but injury prone.

I want Kerkez, I don't want a risk player, I'd love to see us sign Kerkez and Cunha, watch Cunhas work rate against us. Those two on our left hand side would be so much better than what we've had for the last few years

[@Chippychips8-2]

I don't like Kerkez because he is nothing exceptional about him but he is reliable so I will appreciate a move to Unitd

[@sloht4061]

It wont change anything. You lot are hilarious. You need to sell, get rid, remove your players then buy. You need to stop stock piling players for the sake of attempting to imrpove while still outlaying hundreds of millions in wages on non needed players. How many LB's do you have ? Shaw, Malacia. Who else ? Shaw needs to leave (who tf will buy him)

No, Mendes better

I would say get both

[@vkdeen7570]

the gap between alvaro and mendes is akin to pereira and palmer.... the former are good serviceable players the latter are wc talents

[@AtroTenebris]

@vkdeen7570 Fair enough. But why I say both is that Mendes slots in now and Alvaro is the understudy. Hopefully there can be a passing of tautology from Mendes to Alvaro, and we see bounds added to Alvaro's game - essentially setting us up with a better LWB for the future or a more valuable one to sell if not sufficient for the squad later down the line

[@michaelparker4262]

where would he play? one of the reasons we’re struggling so much is cuz we’re playing 5 at the back, we shouldn’t be playing fullbacks in those positions but wingers. players like Amad, garnacho and antony should be playing out wide instead. just like amorims system at sporting

[@CraigBurley-g5x]

Muscle injuries at a young age is a worrying sign. Utd need to be wise n get some loan deals with obligation or option to buy in the summer. Multiple areas need addressing. Lets see what the dream team can achieve when they face their biggest challenge yet

[@daleelder1939]

I really hope this is true, he's a brilliant attacking player

[@Kuwaitiblue]

Utd are hilarious, imagine buying a player with a worse injury record than the player you want to replace. Concentrate on cancelling the stewards pay and sacking the tea lady. While paying players 300000 grand a week to not be in the squad.

[@williamcroson7387]

Dalot 40 mill, garnacho 60m, and rashford 40m. If we were to sell those players it would give us a ton of opportunities for signings.

[@johnfulco8313]

Brighter days are coming. With ending contracts and sales.. Untied can save almost $63M per season in wages once Lindelof, Eriksen, Maguire, Casemiro, Rashford, and Evans leave the club. 25M coming for sancho. 60M profit for garnacho sale plus others. Short term pain for long term gain for Amorim

[@tomwebb7091]

This is kinda dumb.... its NOT the nationality of a player that matters, its how good the player is and the level at which theyve reached. UTD either sign expensive has beens or players that have cut it in the 5th or 6th "best" leagues in Europe. THAT is the issue.
