That’s the big worry.

New signings first day of pre season and they see Pogba and Jesse flossing for Instagram and Martial probably turning up late because his cat has had kittens.

From the outside looking in it doesn’t seem like the best environment for young kids making their way into a club like United.

Ole knows what it takes though so hopefully he gets it right. Just hope the board don’t back the players again if there’s some sort of cross roads.

Greenwood and Tuanzebe will be stars

Because Phelan may actually be the idiot we kinda assumed he was for his whole life before December. If that's not too harsh.

Don't ridicule our twitter lord like that. Over 2000 responses here - no doubt big Micky P spent the whole night taking notes.

We're meant to be one of the biggest clubs in the world and we reward mediocrity with new deals

Smalling and jones are financial decisions by the club. Same with Rojo and most of the shit. The club won’t want any player who would have a reasonable sell on fee leave for nothing because they’re out of contract. Which is why their agents hold woodward to ransom. The club’s strategy being so financially motivated makes them easy to read as they have no convincing bluff during negotiations. Even fellaini outbluffed woodward and got over 200k a week out of him. Do you wonder why players like Herrera are asking for 200k and not caving during negotiations?

Son and de ligt. I’d break the bank for those two. Everything we lack, and could have real influence on those around them. An Asian player would make woodward happy too.

So the MEN doesn’t have a clue about what the club are doing
Well I for one am shocked

As if we’d restrict ourselves to just British players

Back Ole and back the club's future by bringing in these 4 players this summer:

Sancho
De Ligt
J. Felix
N'Dombele

That level of seriousness is needed.

The spine of our team would basically be kids but it would be something for everyone to get behind. No more old underachievers.

You'd like to think most summer business would be well underway by now

Won't get Sancho and de Ligt, there must be others out there though..

We won't get De Ligt but I think we will get Sancho. He will want to be back in the PL no question.

Getting rid of the correct players is just as critical this summer.

Too many options up front, cripples and shit@#%&!s in defence and a mess in midfield. Keep De Gea and the goalkeeper situation is sorted.

Defence - Dalot, Lindelof, Shaw worth keeping, maybe Bailly.
Midfield - The Scottish Player, Pogba (let go if the £130m offer is true)
Forwards - Martial, Rashford, Lukaku

Promote Chong, Greenwood and Gomes

Needed as a priority
- a Kante-type to protect the defence.
- a leader at centre-back to partner Lindelof
- a right-sided forward who can cross a ball.

More depth in midfield would be good but getting rid of Young and others who are too old is a must.

All of this.

Except the £130m bit. £200m or get to £#%&!.

And i'd sell De Gea if we could get Obbers for the same or less.
