When Erikson discussed leaving, he also mentioned the possibility of a new contract. Spurs will either demand a fee that we'll never pay, and then just throw more money at him to get him to sign on for a few more years. Or Real plump up the £70mil from somewhere and sign him instead.

Our business is done.

Bear in mind Poch has been putting pressure on Levy.

Also that Levy £#%&!ing hates United.

Also that they might just see Bruno as a decent bet, and with Erik only having a year left on his contract... makes sense.

ON

I still think this could happen. Madrid aren't signing Pogba; he is 100% staying and I think that's partly down to United going for Dybala. Madrid are signing Van De Beek instead.

spot on again #itk

Manchester United were quickly dissuaded from pursuing Bruno Fernandes after it emerged the Portugal international gives the ball away too often.

United had run the rule over the Sporting Lisbon midfielder but Sportsmail understands that scouts felt his way of playing did not suit Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s style.

Solskjaer wants players reliable in possession — as seen with the pairing of Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof at centre half — and there were concerns over Fernandes’ decision-making on the ball.

While it is accepted that the 24-year-old works with an element of risk in the attacking third, his pass completion of 75.1 per cent recorded last season was not deemed high enough.

yeah, cos non of our current players are sloppy with the ball

What absolute %@#$&!s.

Good to see Woodward briefing again

Next week: Man United pulled out of the Eriksen deal because his face is too pointy.

book marked

Please don't tell me they made a decision on an attacking midfielder based on his pass completion stats.

Obviously not judging by Paul Pogba.

A scouting report that ignores a midfielder scoring 44 goals & providing 35 assists in the last two seasons & highlights he gives it away a bit...

£#%&! sake.

What is interesting is that he hasn't moved anywhere this summer when the fee is reputed to be £60m-ish, hardly an outrageous amount when you see the money spent around Europe.

Still time to see him go elsewhere & unless he has his heart set on England (not sure why he would) it wouldn't be the biggest shock to see him go to one of the other big sides.

Same asking price as the whole summer then..

We were never even looking at him as the budget was already allocated.

So he’s signed for City, United, Spurs and now Madrid in one summer...

What a player
