Sensible Transfers: Manchester United (Summer 24-25)

I mostly agree on every sensible transfers episode, but one thing I got to point out: you can never point to a Benfica player and say it's a sensible transfer. Not because of the player in question (João Neves is really, really great) but because Benfica will always squeeze clubs into the maximum possible fee. Just look at how everything's happening with PSG, precisely because they want him

I think Onana always goes long because ten hag learned the hard way that he didn’t have players at the back capable of playing out from the back other than Martinez ( and now mainoo). At first he would play it short but united conceded loads of goals as a result because they only have 2 or 3 players truly comfortable on the ball

[@tombrady5587]

This is probably the first "Sensible Transfers" video I've seen that isn't actually very sensible. All of the players mentioned bar Raphina (and Kante lol) have been reliably linked to United already and some of them profile wise doesn't necessarily make much sense (Neves alongside Mainoo). I reckon United are actually behaving more sensibly than JJ!

[@garydownes2111]

This. is it just me or is this a product of dare I say it.. laziness? Ralphina is the wrong age & wage profile while frankly not being that good. Kante was good but honestly probably hasn’t go the legs to play for a team that stretches play in the premier league. More importantly the data sets for both players last season was poor or doesn’t exist as in Saudi league.. so not data based then, just eyeball & vibes I guess? I can’t stand the facade of data based analysis when actually it’s just dressed up click bait really..

[@tombrady5587]

​@@garydownes2111 I think it's nowhere near as researched as ones I've seen in the past. Usually I look forward to these videos to be linked to players I've barely heard before. You're also right on Raphinha, good player but he turns 28 in a few months and is on big wages. Kante is a bit of a bizarre one as he's still a very decent player (as we saw at the Euros), but he's 33 and would be on massive wages. Surely, there's younger profiles of players who they can find with high number of defensive duels and defensive success rate?

[@vestnivdrom6311]

Very biased video against 10hag. Straight from the start its water. Season under Ole was the worst for United not last. Most transfers are impossible or already looked by MU. JJ is out of his depth.

[@tombrady5587]

​@@vestnivdrom6311 I don't know about that haha! Last season by virtually every statistical metric was worse. Not only was the underlying numbers almost relegation form worthy, but we finished in a lower position and with lower points. Ole also never finished that season and only managed a few months before Rangnick took over (assuming you're referring to 21/22, as his other seasons had United finished 6th after taking over from Jose, 3rd and then 2nd). That part from JJ is fair. He also mentioned that injuries were a big reason why United failed they way they did. I have no issues with any of that.

[@swagrush8097]

@@jbri1 he is short though. Kobbie and bruno is also short, doesn’t feel like a balanced midfield. Also Martinez is also short( so basically you need someone who can defend crosses into the box when defending low block). Also amad and garnacho are also short. That is too many short players in a squad. In modern football height and physicality is a huge factor. So yeah you need someone with height in the midfield.

[@s.yohannes6429]

@@swagrush8097 height is just a factor of physicality. Neves might be small but still is better in the air than let’s say Lindelof for instance. Neves is super athletic aswell, covers ground and has great stamina. He’d complement Mainoo better than the likes of Ugarte and Zubimendi.

[@garydownes2111]

100%, lazy clickbait really

[@muniz8]

The fact that De Ligt isn't even left footed, made his consideration totally contradictory. Piero Hincapié could have a much better option: young but ready, left footed, excelent passer and is within United's reach. But i guess it takes some research to see that, wich hasn't been really done recently by The Athletic.

[@davedent5014]

Love JJ but I feel like someone needs to remind him that United don't have like 300m to spend this Summer 🙄 Neves and Bastoni would set you back 180m comfortably. Guttierez and Kante are decent shouts however

[@rubens4318]

Bastoni is such an awful shout for realism when theres so much cheaper of similar quality alternatives smh

[@fitbathatba]

Thanks Dave and you're right! The money problem is fully considered though, which is why I tried to explain (might have been cut out) that some of this is 'an ideal situation' rather than 'they should simply spend £300million'. The idea is that the sensible pick is De Ligt because Bastoni/Colwill plus the 100 other possible defenders they could buy would cost too much, and you never know with Benfica and Neves what could happen if things go the way United want. Neves is more an example of what I think United should be looking for long term, and a rare example of a top tier future player who is still available to a supposedly top tier club.

[@davedent5014]

@@fitbathatba apologies, on reflection, that comment sounded grumpier than I intended it to be. The Guttierez suggestion for LB was one I'd never considered and I was hooked in. Then came the Bastoni and Neves options and was like "well, you're dead right but had to go to arbitration to not spend 20m on Dan Ashworth so those lads probably aren't a runner". You and the lads put a lot of research into your videos so I hope that didn't come off as dismissive and apologies if it did

[@donukb]

The transfer market has changed since the days of recommending Ibrahim Sangare. No such thing as an unknown gem, especially for the quality of player that elite teams should be looking for. Sensible picks are about finding value in the market these days. Maybe players that have lost confidence after an injury and could be rehabilitated, maybe a player that didn't fit in the previous team's plans. This is why Sensible Transfers has focused on identifying problems and then finding sensible solutions, rather than just digging up hipster choices.

[@stnbch3025]

[@Shappy86]

This feels a little rushed and not really deeply considered. MdL is a good player, but not really a perfect fit, heavily plays at RCB where United have just signed Yoro, definitely can't cover LB as suggested. Branthwaite would make more sense if we are going more on the side of fantasy (due to cost). Maybe a more sensible option would be Arthur Theate who is a similar player in profile to Martinez (the player he'd essentially be covering) while has played at LB so could cover there as well. Or possibly Murrilo from Forest if you want an EPL proven option. Manuel Ugarte probably is the best option in midfield, if you're looking for a similar profiled alternative who might be a little cheaper you have Morten Frendrup from Genoa. While LB is an issue due to injury, it is likely AWB will leave this summer leaving Dalot as the only option at RB. Therefore a RB would make sense. Micheal Kayode would be an interesting understudy to Dalot with huge potential. Or maybe look at Ferdi Kadioglu as a versatile squad option capable of covering both fullback positions and even as a winger if needed. Raphinha does make sense, especially with a very inexperienced forward line (Rashford at 26 is the oldest and most experienced forward). If United wanted a younger possibly slightly cheaper option (Fees might be similar but wages would be much lower) they should look at Johan Bakayoko from PSV. However, given his experience (especially EPL), his close bond with Bruno, and being fairly achievable, Raphinha does make a lot of sense. Maybe something like Theate, Kadioglu, Ugarte and Raphinha being the ideal signings to add to Yoro and Zirkzee.

[@garydownes2111]

[@nanakofiasiamah9429]

Lol😂. He saw Antony and he changed his tune. 😂😂😂

[@johnvs7169]

The gap in midfield you’re describing is due to the slow defenders at Erik ten Hag's disposal, which forces him to play a lower defensive line (instead of a high defensive line that he preferes) and that creates a ‘gap’ when the team presses high. I suggest you study Ten Hag's style and philosophy a bit more, especially his time at Ajax, before making analysis and claims about him.

Having Martinez and Varane back for the cup final is what won them the cup in a way that wasn't "luck". Imagine if they had both of them + Shaw the entire season. Dalot + Martinez + Varane + Shaw is a title winning defence. The midfield was a problem as well as the forward drop off.

[@joshbrown2217]

What I would say about Kante is that it's a bad pick. You have to remember he left Chelsea because he couldn't stay fit. The reason he looked so good in the euros is due to him being able to stay fit, as he's playing in a less intense league. He was never let go because he wasn't good enough, it just wasn't good for his career or health to stay in England.

He's not going to change his system because his system wasn't the problem, the players were. He doesn't want Onana to go long and he doesn't want all that free space in midfield, but his capable players were injured. He stuck to the system because he didn't want to teach his players two systems, and he didn't want to waste another season. He was thinking long-term, instead of prioritizing short term results. This is exactly what the club needed, but fans are impatient as always.

As a Man United fan, I’d be happy with us finishing the window with Yoro, Zirkzee, De Ligt, a LB, and a DM. The attack has more than enough (Hojlund, Zirkzee, Rashford, Garnacho, Amad, and Antony) to compete. They also have enough forward thinking midfielders (Bruno, Mount, Eriksen, Mainoo). Personally, I think they would benefit from going for Kirkez at Bournemouth. In midfield, I’m sticking with Ugarte since PSG will probably drop their price now they’ve pretty much sealed Joao Neves.

Ugarte alternative hjulmand

[@spyculture]

'Underlying numbers' seems to be a fill in whenever someone wants to be really vague about what stats they are citing and how they are compiled and analysed. But reghardless, surely that means Ten Hag has overperformed two seasons running and won two trophies in those two seasons, no? Relative to what he's actually had available and what they're capable of, he's finished above where he should have in the league and won back to back domestic cups...

[@Spuzzell]

United do have Harry Amass at left back and Toby Collyer for defensive midfield, both of whom will likely be at least squad players. Neves would be a dream signing though I think he's probably out of reach as he's likely to go to PSG for An Lot, which is why Ugarte is available. I think Amad might be first choice on the right wing too. Last season was so disrupted by injuries that it's hard to judge where United are, but I'm pretty sure that Amass, Amad and in particular Collyer in central midfield are intended to play big roles this season. Yoro and Zirkzee both seem likely to be significant upgrades on the players they replace, Mount, Shaw, Martinez and Malacia are all close to full fitness and the youth integrated last season are now in the squad for this. If Neves were possible then absolutely go get him, if he isn't.. you know, I'm not even sure they should push for Ugarte. Shift Lindelof or Maguire to bring in De Ligt and I'd say that's a really strong window.

[@kickdowndoors]

Amass isn’t ready yet, he’s not strong enough for the prem. he’s only 17 - will take another season min for him to properly break through. Collyer will be useful though

[@Spuzzell]

@kickdowndoors Yeah, I think Amass will be the squad backup to Shaw and Malacia, sub and occasional Europa or cup ties. I don't think that United need to sign another left back to get in the way though, Shaw and Malacia are both fit again and it's vanishingly unlikely the same levels of injury will persist. Two senior and a gifted apprentice feels right I think

[@kickdowndoors]

Hate this new format, the old animated sensible transfers were so much better

[@feronentertainment]

That Kante shout was just hilarious😂

[@yashgupta3611]

United should play Lisandro Martinez at left back. Left footed. Lack of physicality won't be that big a weakness, and he can play, is brave and can also possibly invert while also bringing the defensive steel down the left hand side. Arteta wanted him for Arsenal for a similar role but he wanted to play centre back. Left back would suit him and the team is in more. Also will allow Yoro to flourish in the left centre half

[@HugeVargina]

I’m sorry but I’ve watched every episode since you’ve guys started these videos and this has to be the worst one yet. Not a single choice is sensible and you chose someone they’ve been linked with for over a year. Really just lazy stuff very disappointing.

[@HonouHana]

Been saying Joao Neves is our kid, real leader despite his baby face, highest ceiling out of any midfielder under 26

[@hlumelobottoman2627]

Very informative, wish United could employ you guys in the new structure being built @ united. Great work 👌🏽

[@Mannyman348]

Great video but isn’t it basically unfair that we have doubts Girona would sell to United because their parent club who happens to be our rivals owns a billion teams?

[@NicholasMcIlveen]

My clumb is more sensible than Tifo! What a turnaround this season for both.

[@OWTriple9]

The biggest issue which JJ doesn't mention is the height, every other top PL teams has absolute giants who are also great on the ball, none of the realistic defensive players mentioned (outside of de Ligt) suit the lack of height in the team. Zubimendi/Pepelu/Tchouameni would be the dream but probably wont happen for obvious reasons. So if we cannot get any of them i think its better to wait till next summer to sort out the 6 and maybe give Collyer some gametime. I'd rather not go for a LB so that Amass still has a pathway into the first team. De Ligt, Kadioglu/Mazraoui (to replace AWB) and Johan Bakayoko might be the perfect ending to the window if at all possible.

[@Wrioncnkiye]

That's why I struggle to understand why United keeps ETH. He is at least partly responsible for the systematic issues last season. There is a gap in the midfield; not even two Kantes would have striven at United's team last season. I do not rate ETH as a top coach at all.

[@Ghetto_Meadow]

if you say Nico Williams......!!!AUPA!!!

[@Q_Basic]

JJ is off his gourd! I feel like he filmed this by himself after everyone went home for the day and didn’t tell anyone. Best episode though

[@seanbayard2012]

I love the video but I hope they do some shrewd and less obvious signing, it’s always really cool seeing exciting players across Europe that I don’t know be mentioned. Or maybe they expanded my knowledge on players lol

[@poppyharlow4448]

The problem with Gutierrez, in my opinion anyway, which is probably wrong, is the fact that it's really not Girona that owns him, it's City. I'm not so sure they'll be too keen on selling him to their city rivals, and even if they do, they'll ask for a lot more. Edit: JJ talked about this exact problem. Damn.

[@jamesh2605]

Mainoo and Neves in same midfield would thrive in a different league but the premier league is a different beast. would get dominated in the air against the poorer teams.

[@zmzmppi]

LB - Kadioglu LCB - Zagadou DM - Florentino Luis CM - Adli RW - Brahim (would’ve been Minteh but he’s gone to Brighton)

[@grege5074]

when you said "We identify squads weaknesses and how to fix them" i immediately checked how long the video would be. Don't worry, i'm comfy, lay it on me

[@rodidoesburg4061]

Who's here after the Ugarte deal somewhat 'collapsed', Neves went to PSG. Mazraoui price increased to 25 mil and Bayern still hasn't dropped the price for De Ligt. Fulham doesn't come back for McTominay, Wan-Bissaka apparently wants a pay-out and still no LB in sight...

[@nickgera9605]

LB- Gutierrez, Kerkez, Hancko (can cover CB) CB- Branthwaite, De Ligt, Hancko DM- Zubimendi, Ugarte, Hjulmand, Alan Varela, Wharton, Rovella CM- Fofana 1 player per position.

[@audacious0604]

When United finally starts acting sensibly, the only sensible transfers left are the fantastic ones.

[@josephweir6754]

I'm so happy Man U have kept Ten Haag and they'll continue making the same mistakes

[@KazimWatkins]

Barca have a hot young winger taking raphina game an we have hot young wingers in diallo an garnacho smh stop wanting man u to buy rejects believe in the youths

[@J-wy4fx]

IN - LB - Gonaclo Inacio, RCB - De Ligt, DM - Zubimendi OUT - Lindelof, Casemiro, Eriksen, Pellistri, and one of Antony/Sancho

[@blessingbetha9731]

Field tilt of 49% and possession of 61% just shows how bad and ineffective our attack is. We need to fix this in the coming season

[@tanimjonayed6210]

I like the Joao Neves shout, he's decent with the ball and has a great work rate,would be a good fit for Man U

[@mimikolomamu]

he is going to PSG. this video is stupid.

[@benballerdidthechain9095]

I would sing the France World Cup song if Kantes comes the guy is a legend in the Prem

[@thevolk3]

Summary: LB: Gutierrez - Girona (City group, probably won't happen) LCB: Bastoni - Inter Milan (Too expensive) LCB: De Ligt - Bayern Munich (Sensible transfer), can also play LB to cover Shaw DM: Ugarte - PSG (makes sense) DM: Joao Neves - Benfica (Sensible transfer) DM: Kante - Al-Ittihad (Sensible transfer), part of a double pivot or squad player RW: Raphinha - Barcelona (Sensible transfer), can play on the left/in the middle too

[@wh906]

Would be good to reflect on these transfers suggestions and if they would fit into January (even with a system change)

[@ghost5631]

This shows United really did there homework on their transfers these days

[@hasanramzan6578]

Martinez and Maguire can play at LCB. United probably need an RCB more. Also in midfield they need someone who can progress the ball forward. They should try to a left footed winger who can play on the right.

[@Groundsey]

The midfield priority is finding a partner for Kobbie that will help him excel.

[@preetjitsingh328]

Out: Bayindir; Lindelof; Malacia; Christian; Case; Anthony; Pellestri and if we are getting Toney;Rasmus. In: Netz, Doughty, ndidi (back up 6); whoever the first choice 6 is, Toney

[@aleksandarnikolic6970]

I like your explanation, think you covered main issues. Player picks are quite interesting, would be so exciting if it can all work out

[@BSJC1608]

Love the Gutierrez shout, but can't see that happening unfortunately. And there's no chance we get Neves, he's far too expensive. No chance for Kante or Raphina either really haha. Only player on here we might sign is De Ligt

[@sigfigronath]

Yoro is a sensible transfer Zirkzee maybe given the price tag Amad Diallo, Sancho and Antony can cover RW (I don think they need a Rw for now) LB is a must, Shaw can cover LB and LCB. Need a Dm/Cm I think these transfers are enough to survive for now

[@efancording6363]

Need another CB as well probably

[@Stegibbon]

We do need a RW but we aren't gonna be able to sell Antony and there'd be riots if we sold Amad so we most likely won't.

[@Silver_surferrr]

Yeah i much prefer if we sign a cb, im still having ptsd from last season where they play evans and casemiro at cb 😭

[@Omar_Little]

Sancho and Antony are crap. They need a rw.

[@benedictjajo]

Sancho is definitely leaving for PSG. Which will give us the money to sign Ugarte or de Ligt.

[@jameswolfe7413]

Forget Rafinha and attack. Get Joao Neves and defenders. Need a base to build attacks from. And he and Mainoo are young enough to keep stability in the squad for several seasons (I know PSG will probably get him.)

[@petervince167]

No player can fix bad tactics. You can't play transitional football for 90 mins every match. No game control exercised, players get tired too soon, lots of spaces to attack, etc.

[@jithinkarikombil]

Pepelu would be my Sensible transfer for midfield for Man Utd

[@prateshramjohn]

Raphinha at United would be filthy. It won't happen, but it would be a good watch.

[@salsabila786]

I'd take De Ligt, Gutierrez (I'd prefer Kerkez), Ugarte, Kante and Chiesa. De Ligt available at a decent value, Chiesa cheap with 1 year left, Ugarte cheaper once Neves is signed by PSG and Gutierrez we can make a deal with Real Madrid who have an €8 million buy back clause

[@LukaMutyaba]

If we get Rafinha, it would be a very good transfer window.

[@ivanjardel270]

Eth has no tactics 😂😂😂😂😂😂
