Not in great shape. Be worse if they miss out on CL.

They will likely need to sell one of their better players again.

Interesting - MEN has linked us with him as well for £70m

Bellers>FDJ. Although, based on what little I’ve seen of either FDJ would be more suited to Ten Hag. He’s got all the attributes Ten Hag looks for in a player; he’s Dutch and he’s played for Ajax.

I’d say we should break the bank for Bellingham, I know Ferguson would have. Breaking records for the best English talent available is as ingrained in to our history (if not more) as the youth development stuff. Once Maguire we goes, we’ve effectively got Shaw and Rashford* left flying the English flag and that doesn’t sit right with me. We need to redress that balance.

* probably others I’ve forgotten

Personally, don’t think he’s anywhere near as good as Rooney was.

Yeah you might be right with that. And no, I don't think he's at Rooney's talent or potential. But he's not far off and I think we'd be mad to at least not try for him.

A midfield 2 of Casemiro and Bellingham is a pretty terrifying prospect for opponents.

Genuine offer?

People not even slightly concerned by the Dortmund factor about him?

I was quite literally taken aback by how strong on the ball De Jong was. With his blond quiff etc. i assumed he'd be a right fanny.

Apparently not. We were hearing similar stuff insisting we had to sign Sancho

Maybe, he’s been pretty good for England too though tbf.

Exactly. Dunk thinks he’s on to something though.

What the £#%&! are you going on about?

Last Summer was it Silv who was crying and having meltdowns every day it came out that United hadn't signed de Jong

Maybe this year we'll finally get him.
