Erik ten Hag is the new manager of Manchester United, and with him comes a defined playing identity. Man United could improve in all areas of the pitch, but having missed out on Champions League football may not be able to attract the very best. So Tifo have suggested some Sensible Transfers for United.

hold up tifo de jongs not announced
erik ten months
I don't think we could get gnabry
Can you do Man City next please?
Manchester United does not do sensible transfers. As a wise man once said "I don't want peace. I want problems, always"
It will now. And you will cry troll
@@aakarmamtora3470 Why would I cry though?
Ok
Was the wise man Henry Kissinger or Bill Krystal?
This is hilarious. Love that meme
Finally the series is back up and running 🙌 Let's see how different the scouting will be without Alex Stuart, there will be no more Ibrahim Sangare in every video 🥲
what happened to alex
@@messigoh6061 he signed for psv so he could be near Sangare
His name was Ibrahim Sangre, his name was...
This series was made when Alex was still here. It has all his inputs.
United could actually use Sangare this time tho. And Ten Haag would how him well.
4:38 Perhaps one with strong defensive attributes
Here I was hoping Tifo would come up with : "Our picks is Ibrahim Sangare, who is currently playing for PSV"
He’s inevitable
Sangara? Really... He is weak thoo...
@@tim3440 wdym weak? Physically he is a beast
@@hamzaganjeh5582 His game is weak... If you purely by someone because of his phyisic then buy a bodybuilder... :p
His pasing is horrible for example... Follow some games of PSV and you notice. He is like a 35% version of Matic.
@@tim3440 I don’t know much about his game, I thought you were talking his physicality.
They better mention Ibrahim Sangare
Nepali tifo follower like me 😲😲😲 wow
@@pratikthapa6218 sir, me too
That was my first thought. He's always in the sensible transfers for Manchester United. I was left disappointed lol
Of course not, Alex left. He was his darling :D
Who?
Can we get a part two? Whoever is in charge of recruiting at Manchester does need it.
Surely a holding midfielder is top priority, or De Jong might just end up having the same issues as Pogba
Or he could be michael carrick-esque i.e no need to be overly defensive, just a smart one.
@@itdenelll we’ve already seen he can’t play that role at Barcelona
@@Blank9458 This is what confuses me. Some people seem to be content with De Jong signing, even though Barca signed him with the exact same hope and it was proven that while is an excellent player, he needs a more defensive partner.
@@itdenelll de jong doesnt have the concentration to play as a cdm he always gets out of position he is better in a free role in double pivot i think Man United should go for Ndidi
@@Iennda when I saw they were trying to sign him I got upset cuz it’s just gonna be a pogba situation again they’re gonna force him to play a role he’s not suited to and then complain when he’s poor in that role
Jeremie Frimpong would count towards their home grown contingent having come through Man City’s academy, i think that sort of thing shouldn’t be overlooked and would make me choose him for RB
United don't ever have to worry about homegrown rules
already have laird
Did Pogba's count towards United's homegrown then? I didn't know it could work like that...
@@somebloke87 any player from an English academy or who was registered with an English club for at least 3 years between the ages of 15 to 21 is homegrown. So players like Pogba, Saliba, Sancho, and Lukaku count as homegrown to name a few
@@johnsoave2774 I believe Ronaldo classes as a home grown player for United as well
I always like to come back to these.
Quite happy with Casemiro over De Jong right now.
Malo gusto 19 and good offensively and defensively . Makes so much sense that United won’t do it
As a (OL) Lyon supporter, Gusto is a (very) good young player with lots of potential. He isnt quite the finished product yet though. I doubt that it would actually be a good transfer for his development. Besides, the club isnt willing to sell him right now and counts on him for next season.
Anyhow I don’t think Lyon would be particularly happy with us at the moment
Lyon will charge an arm and a leg especially after we spoiled their Malacia deal
lmao Man.U just gazumped Lyon with Malacia, and it's not the first time they do them dirty, in what world would they even consider doing business with them? At the moment, it's just not gonna happen.
I think United signing Gnabry, in their current state, really pushes the envelope for what might be considered a "sensible transfer". Sensible for United, certainly, but Gnabry?
agree. They would be better off signing Ziyech. Hes unhappy at Chelsea
He has won everything there is to win with Bayern, he is familiar with England (but never managed to prove himself there) and could probably demand a hefty pay-rise at United?
@@minnumseerrund he wouldn't be playing Champions League, isn't likely to be for the foreseeable future, and would be joining a club unlikely to contend for major trophies until he's in his thirties.
Signing for United as they currently are would be an indication of a lack of ambition, not a surfeit of one. Sure, he might sign for colossal money despite all that... but that wouldn't be a sensible transfer would it?
@@ApeOfMyIdeal well that’s a bit pessimistic wouldn’t you say? Things in football change very quickly. For all we know united might win the champions league in 2 seasons. It’s all very uncertain. What is certain though is that he will be getting a pay raise.
Let's also take into account that there are strong rumors about Madrid going for Gnabry, if that's the case I think Man U is going to have a tough time convincing a player like him to join their project and not Madrid's
EtH clearly loves his left footed RW so I doubt we'll even register interest in Gnabry but he feels like that perfect versatile forward imo. Great shout as always, Tifo Team!
Which would be a shame if he was overlooked for that reason - he has a great left foot as well.
@@jannikostermann9821 Yep! And at 35m, he'd be a lot cheaper than an Antony per se, and will allow Amad to deputise Gnabry for a few years and take over as his prime sort of veins out
It makes too much sense for us to of it tho 😂
I honestly cant see Gnabry going from a Champions Leauge Club to a Club who is plaiyng Europa League right now...
@@vipulvij3 wait what do you really think Bayern is going to let go Gnabry for 35m?
Bayern would not sell him, and if they did it wouldn't be for a good price or to us
As an Evertonian I thought van de beek showed a lot of gusto and sprinkles of quality last year WHEN he played, could blossom under ten hag
Both ole and then lampard didnt play him regularly, but with eth, i bet it can be a different story
As an Ajax fan, I know he can be very good, especially in an attacking role. He won't be number 10 though, Bruno Fernandes is simply the better, more all-round player.
@@GandWizard honestly he played his best football for Everton in the double pivot alongside Allan or doucoure so I feel like that shouldn't be an issue
@@GandWizard Naah you are not an Ajax fan,rather you are just trying to justify that Bruno is better than Van Der Beek.........VBD is better than Bruno,way better by far,and suits ETH possession system of play than Bruno
@@jayjuli3576 He doesnt need to justify anything, you are so out of touch with reality it is not even funny. Please call me when VBD gets anywhere near a 27 goals and 22 assists season like Bruno has in Portugal or 27 goals & 17 assists in England.
I find it odd that United are often (supposedly) considering bringing in players like Gusto who has proved himself and is aged 19. Whereas Laird is considered too young at 20. Similar with Gailbraith 21, Garner 21, Levitt 21 and Hannibal 19
I think Uniteds issue is linked to lack of first team experience rather than literal age. Gusto is a proven player in first team European football compared to the youth academy players, and could flourish in Utd's team almost immediately. He is more mature in terms of footballing ability, at a younger age, like for example, Bellingham is, whereas the youth at UTD have a lot of development to still undergo
Agreed fully. What's the point of paying for gusto and loaning out laird. If gusto is good enough to start for united laird is good enough to get in the rotation with Wan Bissaka and Dalot and may the best man win. We're not in champions league, Qualification for that and Development of youth should be the only priorities along with a concentrated effort in the FA cup
a RB, a goalie who can play with the ball at their feet, and most importantly, a transfer fee negotiator ? United used to sign Waitrose quality players from Aldi quality leagues like Ole from Norway . Over the past decade, Man United have consistently been involved in both over paying and protracted transfer sagas or, signing their third or fourth choice player for a role .
The project is definitely long-term as Tottenham and Leicester have better XIs. Liverpool, Chelsea and Man City have better squads than Man United.
They hope that a few out of Garner Levitt Galbraith Mejbri Zidane Iqbal McNeill Garnacho Will Fish Amad Diallo Laird Di Shon Bernard Alvaro Fernandes Mainoo Pellestri Mengi and Shoretire step up.
Love this series from Tifo ❤️ Glad it's back again 😍
I was actually wondering why United aren’t chasing after Gnabry, who is arguably the best in the current market (and yes, better than Anthony). Buying Gusto or Dumbries will solve another problem, too. Martinez will be a useful squad player as CDM, CB, or LB if required.
They might be seeking someone who’s not gonna bring too much drama in case they wanna play rashford more than him, gnabry is too established and probably too expensive for such a goal
@@lzi9452 if they are a serious club then they should bring gnabry in
Dumbfries is more attacking-minded rather than defensive-minded. He suits more as RWB than RB.
Unless Ten Hag prefers to play 3-4-3 / 5-3-2, Dumfries doesn't fit with United's playstyle. Gusto might be the better option
If gnabry leaves, it will only be for Madrid.
@@greatwhite3614 Or Arsenal
I am disappointed by how this video downplayed the importance of United securing a Defensive Midfielder. Having a proper DM will ease the pressure on the CBs. I was expecting the video to show some suggestions, especially suggestions other than De Jong, who i dont think is anywhere near being the solution.
When you have a proper back line. You don’t NEED a cdm. People forget that. But yes I would personally like a breaker of the play. And de jong isn’t that. We should’ve signed leon goretzka
@@GLAZERSOUT-oz8kh lol what ? that's not how it works. You need a good defensive midfield otherwise you'll be exposed to counter attack every game and never be able to play into midfield. What you're suggesting is videogame tactics at best.
You gotta see how De Jong will improve the performance of Fred and Mctominay. There could be positive domino effect because of one player securing the defensive midfield, like Kante does for Chelsea. FDJ could also be an impact player like Dias to City.
@@AndrewLaReal bro stop playing fifa. Watch the football game
@@AndrewLaReal tryna tell me you have to have a cdm. Have TWO CMS have 1 sit when 1 goes forward? There speciality don’t have to be a defensive mindset …
United have been after one player all summer who doesn't even want to play for them. And if he fails, it's the player's fault and not the board that they went after someone who doesn't care for the club.
@LikoHVM neither deals are done and if man utd was smart they shouldn't try to even sign de Jong as he won't try to play good for them as he doesn't want to play for them
That’s a. Great point. Pep only wants players who wasn’t to be there at city which I feel is why there is never on field drama like at united
@@kylemutti2992 yes. Pep was rumoured to let EVEN Bernardo Silva leave if he's not willing to be part of the project. Klopp had no problems with Sadio Mane's exit eventhough he's in his prime and very important to the team.
De Jong may end up coming if you pay him 350k per week and his heart won't be at United
@TheWoodIsPoo your comment aged well
A whispered hiss on a cool summers eve, the hushed sound of "Ibrahim Sangare" can be heard. Legend has it the ghost of Alex Stewart still haunts the Tifo Offices, animated by the opening of the summer transfer window. Murmuring sensible suggestions into the ears of his victims.
I liked this classy Sangaré comment
Securing a 5 million Zakaria in January would have gone a long way for us🤦
What a board 🤦🤦
They ignored Ragnick💔
Zakaria is elite in fifa and near useless in real life. Honestly have you watched him ? He's everything Utd fans have been complaining about Mctominay for and more.
I've seen "Sensible transfers Manchester United" and Immediately thought Ibrahim Sangré. I'm disappointed in you Tifo 🤣
Happy this series is back, please do Chelsea next, they have some business to do.
I love this series but how CB and DM are not top of the list is beyond me.
they literally mentioned a CM in de jong💀 but yeah DM is needed, they should go after kante
@@vivien8417 oops, I meant CB
@@JoelSangster they’re going after martinez from ajax
One of the best series of Tifo Football. Great work guysss
Been waiting for this series❗❗
its good seeing top clubs's sensible transfers and all, but what about teams like Brentford, Nottingham Forest, Leeds, Everton etc? hoping you'd cover more PL teams. excellent video as always...
They did ones for leeds and newcastle in january as far as i can remember
If we don't cover the team in video form, we have covered them in written form on The Athletic 📰
@@Tifo what about AC Milan?
what about torquay United

Been watching Man U since 1992. My take is the club really struck gold with Sir Alex. He could have been equally successful at other clubs, such was his man management skills and stature in the game. Since his departure, no one comes closest to his achievements in the club since patience is a rarity in today's game. Good luck to Ten Haag and then some. I hope he would not pass through the revolving door.
He will probably be gone within 6 months as these players don't care about winning and man utd great history they care about cash
Best series of the season is back thank you team tifo
Glad that sensible transfers series is back
Ibrahima Sangare!!!!
I'd love to have a FRIMPONG finally at united, never forget the arsenal legend.
It's the most exciting youtube channel I have ever seen! With unique topics day by day and with detailed concept given about a team
My favorite series of this channel, they should be longer imo
It's that time of the year again, eagerly waiting for my team
United have not succeeded in reuniting Ten Hag with De Jong. Frenkie to this day, is still refusing to leave Barcelona. Utd haven’t even discussed personal terms yet.
Finally sensible transfer series is back
One of the more polite ways of saying United’s squad composition is terrible. Could’ve literally done every position - Gnabry and Gusto are great shouts, liked Frimpong at Celtic.
Also known as "players Manchester United will not sign"
Thanks tifo, for scouting players for our rivals to sign
De Jong - Doesn't want to leave Barcelona
Gnabry - Signed a new contract at Bayern
RB - A position which we need but we signed a LB instead.
Well, Tifo, I think you should make a part 2 for this one. 😂
Seeing Serge Gnabry at United under Ten Hag, oh man
I know it looks like they're getting de Jong, but I feel like they still need more in the midfield. The midfield being outmatched has caused a lot of the issues at the back they've struggled from.
My sensible is Casemiro. RM is focusing younger core. Casemiro didnt have huge role under Ancelotti. Altho Frimpong is exciting prospect, I wonder if they really need to sign him. Wan-Bissaka was praised of his defence before having a bad season. TH prefers building risks with CB, RB/LB often playing more fullback defensive role. I see Memphis Depay as more sensible. Barcelona only asking 25m~. He can play multiple position. Had huge success after switching to more CF role at Lyon and was one considered top 20 winger before his injury season. Also to mention, striker been fire at International stage. Matured striker deserves a second chance at united.
@@jsn14 I agree
@@jsn14 Guess what he was just unveiled by United
this series is just fantastic
I love when my football manager signings pop up on these videos
Waiting for a top Club to actually sign Ibrahim Sangaré
Those running United have a bad tendency NOT to watch “Sensible Transfers”. 🤦🏻♂️
I'm so happy for Stephen Tries, managing to voice over these videos will help his career a lot!
The best series on YT, easily
I love these videos so much, and it's a shame that this one dropped on the very same day that Ronaldo announced he wants out of Man U. :-P
4:26 Oh man, how wrong was this take lol
💙 was waiting for a long time for this series
Malo Gusto makes so much sense that United surely won't do it, but nice spotting with him and Gnabry. All I can hope for is that Ten Hag manages to improve the form of the players we do have, even though I don't rate a whole lot of them very highly they can still play better than they played last season.
I love "sensible transfers" series.
Unfortunately, no sports director ever watched it 🙄
United urgently needs a Casemiro type player in middle park then comes the rest.
I am pleased to announce
Take a shot every time Joe Devine says “Ajax”
GOATED series
sensible transfers??? We dont do that here at man utd
Reminder: United payed more for Harry Maguire than City have for Erling Haaland
In fairness he would of been a lot higher if his contract didn't dictate it but I get the point exactly
nope. the 65m City paid is only fro BvB. they also paid another 30m to Haaland's father and 50m for Mino Raiola's company. plus there's additional 10m add-ons to BvB based on performance.
@@kelvinsudirman4072 I haven’t actually heard that could you please link me to the source, I’m being genuine
SENSIBLE TRANSFERS IS BACK YESSSSS.
Ten Hag always has a left footed RW player his strategy/tactics are similiar to to a hybrid of Klopp/Pep, the RW player needs to start out wide then push inside. Out wide the left footed player can disguise an early crossed ball and when the left footed player cuts inside they can shoot near-post or far or even pass the ball short so this has the keeper/defender always guessing like Mahrez/Salah/Ziyech/Anthony/Rapinha/Saka/Bowen basically all the good teams in premier league have adopted this style.
There is no way we’re getting gnabry 😂
Manchester United and sensible transfers don't go hand in hand 😭🤣🤣
Love this series. This particular video seems a couple of weeks premature. With news of CR7's grumbles and the signing of Erickssen going against this analysis.
The graphics of this video are just incredible.
Tahith Chong had a strong loan spell at Birmingham, although it was a little plagued by injury. Could definitely see him coming into the fringe next season if he isn't loaned out
The whole team is a problem area
excited to see this series back.
I wonder how you'll tackle the dumpster fire that is chelseas transfer window
Amazing content can yall do a video covering the psg revolution and what sensible transfers they can bring in?
Tifo is one of the most reliable sources I know
Pretty sure United has waited for Sensible Transfers to come out before doing any business.
Was waiting this :)
Fast forward to September: this video got basically everything wrong...
An extremely disappointing season is putting it nicely.
Really well edited video
Gusto, Gnabry and...? Oh, De Jong. Well at least that's one sensible transfer guaranteed. Asking about Gusto would be comical considering the recent conduct regarding Malacia Hahaha.
CR7 is leaving...you need to re-record this episode
Good suggestions but which player would want to downgrade?
I love this series
Waiting for this for a long time 😭
Gnabry doesn’t play on the left just to let you know. Also why would he go from Bayern to United when almost every club in the world would want him? PSG, Liverpool, Real all could do with a RW and they guarantee CL football.
He is also an Arsenal fan so there is absolutely no way he would move to United
Yeah this one made no sense, why would you move from constantly getting constant UCL to a team that it definitely isn't guaranteed at united
@@kiersmini1 not much thought put into this video
@@hugoenzo2444 they should called this sensible but unrealistic transfers.
Sensible transfers? Sell the entire first team except for CR7, Bruno, Sancho, Fred, Varane and DDG. Promote the academy lads like Garnacho, Alvaro Fernandez, Laird, et al. and have ETH start from zero.
Glad the Ibrahim Sangare show is back
Signed Gnabry for United back in October on Fm22, lad's scored 20+ and 10+ assists the last 4 seasons for me
Might need a part 2 when Ronaldo leaves and De Jong manages to come to his senses and call off the move…
United basically don't have front three at the moment
what i don't like about having such wonderful content creators like you, is that the more sensible it seems, the more likely Man Utd will NOT go for these players.
However, with Malacia due to sign, we may have turned a corner.
Frankly just going for free transfer or one year left players alone, we can save LOADS of money and still significantly improve on the squad.
Gnabry, Frimpong/Dumfries, Tielemans, Benoît Badiashile, Florian Grillitsch, Djed Spence, etc, will already boost the squad.
Dare say even Ousame Dembele will be an upgrade, BUT i personally don't want such high wages players who may not be reliable with lack of defensive pressing and injury issues.
Mate why ought we to go for a left back like Malacia?
@@craigr4763 good both defensive and offensive, aggressive and smart, and is young at only 22. won’t come at a huge fee too
Great content! 👏
This is the video we've been missing for so long please do Barcelona next
5:15 aged horribly
OUTRAGEOUS!!!!! I am furious and appalled!!!!! I don't know if I can ever forgive you, Tifo, for recommending gnabry to man u... I'm sure you can guess which team I follow
Well the sensible transfers are the one's that are made in the image of the manager, give Erik Ten Hag what him what he wants 👍
god I love this series
Nice how they skimmed on United’s most desperate need - A central defender. At their peak, Madrid had Raphael Varane, Sergio Ramos and Pepe. Barcelona had Mascherano, Pique and Puyol. Liverpool have VVD, Konate and Matip. City have Ake, Stones, Laporte and Dias.
And Tifo conveniently leave out the fact that Harry Maguire has been a lousy defender. He’s the first who needs to be booted out.
We are heavily linked with Lisandro Martinez who can play as a CB/CDM
Manchester united used to do sensible transfers before 2014 under Sir Alex Ferguson. He used to only buy players who would fit united style. Even if it was an aging RVP from their Rival Arsenal. Beckham even told this in an interview.
Update Gnabry signed an extension at Bayern. Maybe ziyech could leave. De Jong deal dragging on.
Would love to see Franck Honorat looked at for depth or a starter at somewhere like Leeds as a Raphinha replacement
They're back baby 🎉🎊
Great to see the series bacl, with United you guys picked the difficult one. NOt sure about this one.
Hope you will make a video like this on Barcelona too
Here we go boys
Joe's "Welcome to Sensible Transfers" voice is iconic
