NDIDI just turned 27 - free in summer - backup DM - YES
Good shout brother. I bet you a shrewd transfer market team like spurs will pick him up. The Kelly lad from bournmouth is up for free this summer too. He can cover LB and CB.
We should do a nottingham forrest and buy 20 players this summers transfer window and let competion for places do its work.
Ndidi on a free would do wonders for our squad depth
We don't do bargain sadly
@@rmaniidlrWe don't? Eriksen was a free, Evans as well and we did a bunch of loan deals recently so it's not like we're not looking at all kinds of options.
@Aitch2020 Mario hermoso is free in the summer, can be martinez back up/starter and can play in a back 3 aswell
Elise is a good option, however how can we ignore Amad , he definitely needs more opportunities and I hope he grabs them and settles his place in the team. I think Amad can play multiple places providing more.
A squad player is not bad
Because Antony is not United quality and has to be sold.
@@Doctor_KroomAntony won’t get sold this summer I’d put £1k on it he was around 85 million and United won’t want to make a huge loss on it he’s also on 200k a week
I think Amad is great but I don't think he's ready for first team football yet, he's still a bit raw and hasn't hit the ground running like Garnacho, impact player for a season then we'll see what his worth
@@Sprt1337 I am hoping till end of season we will get to see more of Amad and he shows more promising things.
I've had the best monday that I can remember and I usually absolutely hate mondays.
I'm on cloud 9 and just can't wipe the big smile off my face.
Thankyou to the united players for beating the rotten scousers and making me feel the love for the team again ❤
The Midfield with Mainoo is going to be the most important thing for United! Look at Rodri at City or Rice at Arsenal. You need an Engine player who is physically built (i.e. 6'1 or 6'2) but has a commanding presence in that midfield while also being an Engine for 90min....
Not many players of that build out there... Chelsea gambled on Caicedo for 150mil and well...yeah.
Mainoo isn’t really a 6 so you can’t compare them just yet
@@miltonandrade5837 ohh ofc I meant more like Mainoo can be our press resistant output but we need a general next to him! If only Casemiro was 5-6 years younger
@@rammus5672 I always say that lol but ok yea good point I personally think he has a higher ceiling than both but time will tell
The dreamland signing is FDJ, but we know it wont happen.
A realistic option is someone like Onana or Thuram.
If it was me, and if chelsea need cash for ffp, I would be enquiring about Enzo.... I think he can be convinced to switch.
Correct - you need a beast of a CDM behind Mainoo.
Would be good to see a video of the available free’s in the upcoming summer. I think we missed a trick with Thuram last summer. Would have been an excellent alternative to Hojlund…and he was free!
Nice one! A realistic and exciting prospect and makes good sense. 😀 Would be good to see the backup for each position also named as you did for Marcus and Garnacho given that squad depth is so critical.
We should definitely be targeting either guirassy or David both different types of strikers but both well suited to provide alternate options to hojlund. Both also very attainable as David has 1 year left on his deal and guirassy has a 17 million release clause
Dalot this season has been united best player by a country mile! Give the man some respectttt
No he hasn't, Johnny Evans has.
@@seanyrobbo1dalot is clear this season mate
No way near Alexander Arnold level or Walker.... this is why your team won't compete with City or Liveropol for the tittle.. heck you can't compete for top 4... because you are backing up these kind of players even at his best Dalot he is no way near Walker/Alexander-Arnold.. it's sad how you guys backing these players instead of selling them to actually build something to compete vs City/Liverpool.... Rashford and Bruno still in the team and you want to win something ? LOL
@@zorashki bore off
He’s still been shite
Ngl I would love the back 6… it’s a good mix of youth and experience… and with Bruno as the “old” head and captain it will be amazing
The same Bruno that loses his head and is erratic all the time?
@@zinedinezidane4771yes that same Bruno. Cry 😂
Ive been crying for a while now 😢
Being injured prone should be a MASSIVE concern for any player coming in… especially for ETHs pressing system. World class 25/26 CB, 23/24 CDM and a back up striker that actually scores goals are needed most. RW would be a plus, someone that can go on outside and cutback with some semblance of accuracy
Of all the the 12 mins of content the phrase ‘intrinsic desire’ stood out
Very realistic summer window. What this does for me is massively improve the ability play the way the manager wants and improve performances. Hopefully the manager has the squad to back up this first 11 we should be getting 80+ points with that line up
Right back was one of the positions I thought was in desperate need of an upgrade untill this season... Dalot and AWB 100% have their issues but between the 2 of them I think there's enough now where its not the priority
Wan Bissaka reminded us on Sunday what we've been missing so much of the season
his overall game has improved vastly as well while i think dalot has become a better defender too. If our LBs had been fit id imagine they might have improved the same as WB and Dalot@@uniteddreamer
Is this just a coincidence that our set piece coach been sacked and Onana started to flourish ?????
Don’t think he was sacked he got a head coaching job in the mls. But maybe.
@@Mufcw1999 wonder why he got another job as soon ineos came in 🤣🤣 IYKYK
@@sunnyonsys haha fair enough, could be right there.
@@sunnyonsyshen definitely din't get sacked, and I don't think INEOS are looking at replacing the coaches, they will want the manager and DoF to handle that. They will decide who is the DoF, manager and senior positions. There is a chance INEOS didn't want him and he's left before pushed, but I don't think it is that. Once the new DoFis signed, the coaching setup will change based on their input.
Flourish?? He is abysmal
If we wanted to be very optimistic a summer window of
Silva/Todibo/Dorgu/ Neves/ Wieffer/ Olise/J David would be insane, but it all depends on who we can shift, you'd hope Maguire/McT/Sancho/Donny/Casemiro/Antony can all be moved on ... but will be tough
It is actually a very realistic team, we could get all of them in one summer, if we sell players for good prices
I'm a bit worried about how much room that leaves us to improve the bench, which is just as important for us as the first team in my opinion, but it certainly looks like an exciting team on paper.
Gironas left back is better
TODIBO = MONSTER 35 MIL = YES
I beleive he's around 50 mil now
@@mohammadsawlih3869 is he really that good? Don't watch Nice often but watched the recent PSG game. He wasn't all that though. TBH Antonio Silva also doesn't come across a great CB. Ok at best. Maybe it's just me being harsh, honestly scarred after Maguire.
@miyurugunatilaka5637 you've been hurt before (maguire/ lindelolf)
From what I'm seeing he looks very good.
Good stuff, Steve!
Rodrigo Muniz from fulham ..handful in the air..great timing in running ..proven in the premier league..good age profile..can be a good shoutout for our no 9 spot to challenge Holland and be a great backup ❤😊
Great shout. What do you think of Viktor Gyokeres from sporting? Or too hard/high price to get out of there? 🤔
@@Hartlehh sporting will ask for a lot of money - probs ask for £70M up to £80M.
@@Hartlehhtoo pricey. If I recall correctly he has a release clause of 100m
@@LeeMassey87 I thought so lads! Unfortunate! For me personally I hope we prioritise getting a quick, physical, ball playing centre half first and foremost and the same attributes for a CM alongside Mainoo who is comfortable taking the ball off Licha and the new CB. What about yourselves?
@@akshayar2467 same question above goes for you as well mate ^^
Watching united at the end with players in “crazy” positions I remember watching the michels cruyff teams of 70s. Ten hag needs footballers with high football iq, technical skills, versatility, awareness of what is going on around them, positional discipline and mentality who can fluidly switch positions like in total football. Over next 3 transfer windows I would love to see him transform the squad with such players. He can’t do it this summer only. imagine all our defence being Martinez type leaders; an interchangeable forward line that create for each other; mainoo plus someone who can embody prime Casemiro
Today's the day to start dreaming after yesterday! UTFR
Stephen interesting choices and well explained. But have you thought about changing the formation? This formation requires tracking back from the front 3 , who I believe would struggle. So implement a tactic to suit the midfield weaknesses
Really appreciate your insights on players.
There are many right footed central defensive partnerships.
As a coach do you see a difference between 2 left footers and 2 right footers?
I am asking because I am wondering if shaw and Martinez could play together if required to do so with injuries etc.
also, I know their wages are an issue and structurally we need to address this long term but shouldn’t we keep Casemiro and Varane because of their winning mentality and professionalism that younger players can learn from: managers on the pitch in training and some games.
Ste, any chance closer to the fa cup semi final against Coventry City, can you do 5 things to expect from Coventry City outside of the match preview?
Yeah I know fuck all about them 😂
I’d like to see Todibo at the back with Martinez being brought up to play CDM aside Mainoo like he often did at Ajax. With his skills on the ball, his stamina, his progression and vision, he’d make an excellent CDM for us. Keeping taller CBs with a good ability in the air would help us avoid conceding from aerial set pieces like we’ve often seen when Varane and Slabhead aren’t around to clear it away.
that midget pairing wont work. Too mnay tall players in the EPL. You will lost most balls in the air. Mainoo needs a big man next to him.
Todibo and Braithwate would be perfect defenders. Them two and martinez and maguire are a good set of 4 defenders to choose from. I would bring back Mengi from Luton too if the buy back option is cheap
1) can we do an IQ / Character test for inbound targets
2) can you do a Part 2 to this showing the business model behind these new selections and outbound players. Like to see bench players or top 25 as well. Could see Todibo brought in for RB/RCB backup. Also need to see second option striker off bench (like a Gerroud). Worried about real depth in roles.
Dalot has been top 3 fullbacks in the league! Just turned 25 as well, next few years with consistency, he’ll be one of the best in the top 5 leagues.
i get where your heart is but the fact is there are so strong strikers and cf s so atleast one of the two cb must be strong and longer just to be able to have second plan option for play with out even changing him
Four first teamers is a big ask but needed. We definitely need a CB, a CDM/CM and a winger and unfortunately (I really like Shaw but we need someone of that level who is less injury-prone) a LB. But of those four if we could only get three first teamers, I'd take a gamble that Shaw and Malacia and maybe one of our loaned out LBs could see us through next season. Unless they're not coming back, I think it's more crucial that we get backup up front: Hojlund looks amazing but he can't do it all on his own.
Been a fair bit of talk about him leaving but i genuinely still think Rapha offers us a lot. Blokes been very open about retiring here, If we can limit those injuries we could be on to something special with him.
I like it, I for one would look forward to next season with that
Dorgu looks a real talent but I believe we need someone to come in and start every game, it's a big ask for dorgu seeing as he currently isn't starting every game for lecce
Grimaldo....very expensive
Antonee Robinson
If shaw stays fit and malacia coming back probably he won't be starting that many matches
good video Howson my only issue with your selection is at center back i would rather have Diomande (sporting) he is a similar mold to silver but
his faster, more physical and cheaper and olise is a BAD IDEA.
Funny that, the young left back market is slim and out of 2/3 guys it was Dorgu, Barco and one other who stood out for me on FM24 around 8 months ago
Hi Ste, what do you think of Leif Davis (Ipswich LB/LCB), Jack Clarke (Sunderland RW), and Morgan Whittaker (Plymouth Argyle RW/LW/CF) ?
Leif could comfortably cover for Shaw/Malacia/Martinez; Jack for Rashy/Garna and Morgan for Amad/Garna/Antony/Hojlund. Of course, we're currently stacked at RW but I'd expect us to let Martial, Sancho and probably Pellistri go in the summer
Those players could be a steal in terms of price, they're young (23 and 24 tops); they'd improve our squad depth and they have Championship experience which can serve us well in the PL.
I heard on Stephen's video during the week there is somewhere you can watch a match with only the ball in play. Any ideas what this is? I have looked several time but cannot find which video it was in.
wyscout
Thank you. You sir are a legend!@@DamolaSalami
Hey Ste great picks... what do think about Bisseck as CB?? Big, Pace, Brusier, great Header of the Ball?? Hjulmand at CDM same qualities Weiffer just a bit more quality imo... Mathys Tel to back up Hojlund, pace, good touch, and also plays in the midfield... i know you love Olise but he's an absolute no for me... 3-hamstring injuries in two years... how about Nico Williams, Kubo, Bakayoko, Dia Daioune or even go for Frimpong??
Hard to see 4 players requiring a fee coming in during the first INEOS window (still skeptical as to the number of realistic sales we manage). I am guessing a ball playing center back and true #6 will be the top priority, and I would be fine with that as a start and fill in with free agents from there...maybe save a bit of the kitty for January to see how the first half of the season starts out.
Yeah,!…..and a goalkeeper who can get us 25 a season! …….Ball playing centre half,indeed.
Like the team. I think though he will stick to garno on the right and rashy left. If Ten is manager. Did you pick team for any manager in place or with ten as manager?
Oliver Giroud as a option for veteran back up striker to Rasmus
Looking at some players like Tosin (Fulham) and Ait Nouri (Wolves) for depth might be a good move.
Also starters like Branthwaite, Todibo and Fofana/Palacios. Maybe even test the waters with Bruno Guimaraes?
Don't think we need a RW priority, Olise isn't really an upgrade on either Amad or Garnacho.
Then the backup ST problem.
There’s no way you’ve watch the prem in the last two years and think Olise isn’t an upgrade
@@Moonmaestro11 "the last 2 years". Last year he scored 2 goals in 40 games and this season hes had multiple hamstring injuries. Meanwhile Garnacho at 19 is starting week in week out and performing out of his natural position at a higher level than Olise. 👍
@@Moonmaestro11Olise has scored 10 goals in 74 appearances hardly an upgrade
@@Nightsuthe multiple injuries you speak of is only 2 and it’s because he was rushed back before he fully recovered, secondly he is a creator he was topped by saka, salah and KBD he had 11 assist and like almost 80 chances created we would have had even more with better players around him. There’s nothing wrong with adding quality to the Rashford and Garnacho we’re only build a better team.
@@Nightsu the multiple you speak of is only two, because they rushed him back because they don’t have a better player
Someone needs to let Rashford, Fernandes, Garnacho know they have a No 9.
Big blonde fella stands in front of them wearing the same kit, they need to pass him the ball next season.
Onana’s pass to maguire was ridiculous on Sunday that’s all of 60 yards to play him through on goal
The issue with our defence is that they are very technical based, but there is no athlete there who can cover lots of ground and be a physical monster. Someone like Todibo would be a much better fit rn, maybe silva would be good later down the line
Sometimes you hope Man Utd do alright but however the team needs a good streak of players seeing regular time gelling and I hope when it clicks it works well. This season 23/24 the start was awful and half the games they've won hardly celebrated it even recently in the FA Cup I mean I was in shock it happend. But the games that means a lot
Man Utd v Liverpool again this time Premier League on 07/04/24 that is pride forget anything else. Then you have Wembley where Coventry v Man Utd FA Cup semi final is another big game in a month where I didn't expect much but got some tough games Newcastle, Arsenal at home.
Think its a very realistic 11 but personally not so keen on the attacking options. Olise has been injury prone for some time, is a good player but been overhyped....but he is no good on the treatment table and on the left Rashford has had competition this season, of course Garnacho will get better but I think we are massivrly improved defensively with your predictions....not sure we are offensively
I see lisandro as a midfield option. Pellestri had not had enough opportunities in my opinion. Youth like Scanlon and the right back should be given more chances. Antony could be a left back. Luke Shaw is a brilliant player but plagued by injuries. Mount needs game time too.
Then, where in the actual fuck does Mason damn mount play, like seriously, where is he going to play cause he sure will play....... And i dont why no one is talking about getting "DE LIGT" As our center back target. We could get him on a discount from bayern and he would be a world breaker for utd. And he has played with martinez at ajax
he never played with martinez at ajax. 0 ball knowledge.
Really hope them recruitment guys watch your videos mate !
I said a few years ago to raid palace for Mateta, Olise and Eze
I like all the transfers but i think Shaw should still start if fit also Wieffer or Koopmeiners as a more creative alternative
Dont we have u21s that can be promoted to the seniors team?
I don’t think it’s a priority to buy a RW this summer. Eze is a great player and would be a great winger. But having Antony as a back up to Garnacho is sufficient. We need a striker that can compete with Hojlund. We need at least 2 very good strikers in a team to compete for the league. A starting CB is also crucial. We cannot play a high line with Maguire, and we need either someone who can play instead of or replace (a back up also requires in this case) Varane. Lastly, a CDM to replace Casemiro.
Need another option in the striker position, you cannot rely on rasmus to bring you 20+ goals next season.
For the Right sided cb position, its much more required for us to sign a very quick and physical cb and Silva isnt the best in that regard. Todibo or Danso would be better fits particularly alongside martinez. Both very affordable also.
What’s the estimated cost for these new signings?
I'd prefer Todibo or Silva at CB , Thèo at LB, André as the 6 & Pedro Neto over Olise
I would love a Valderrama type pf player
Paulinha from Fulham, paqueta, and Pedro Neto would absolutely revolutionize our squad. Would cost a lot of money of course but would 100% be worth it. All prem proven too.
Great suggestions! And if we can sell Rashford to e.g. PSG, then sell him, and we can buy another good left wing + another young backup player where it's needed.
We are not selling Rashofrd mate.
You would’ve lost to Liverpool
I agree Wieffer is the one that seems to be the best option for that #6.
I Love the way you analyse the game. Keep it up.
Thats a dream
Silva is the biggest question mark for me, at that price, we could get two very good cb. Maybe Todibo and Lucumi or someone like that.
And maybe we snatch up Joao Neves instead from Benfica
Bring in:
Bowen or Mbuemo as a Rw/mbuemo can be a ST
Kimmich for small amount to be the anchor for our midfield
Robinson as a LB, established in PL
Ignacio or Silva as CB for that Bruno and Dalot linkup
And try to bargain with sporting for gyokeres as a very good backup who can even take the starting place from underpreformin players.
And I have to say that I would still look to move Rashford on as he can fund 2 positions for us, and swapping Garnacho and Rashford would do no good for Garnacho.
I know you say this is a dream X1 Steve, but how much do think those new additions will cost, combined?
Love this team 👌🏻
This team goes nowhere
We don't need Olise at this point in time. We have Gernacho, Dialo, and Anthony no need. We need a CB that's aerially dominant and faster than Martnez and the Benfica lad doesn't cut it for me. We need a back up Cm in addition to wiefer. back up cb depending on if maguire leaves.
As much as I hope for that kind of an 11 I'm much more focused on our squad than our starters, and I think that should be the focus after this season.
United's squad is not fit for purpose. Nobody on the bench is a true "like for like" with any of Ten Hag's core players for his system.
It's like Ten Hag is trying to run a washing machine, and Lisandro Martinez is a Fairy Non-Bio Laundry Pod. If you take him out, if he's not available, then you should be picking from a different brand of pod, or a Bio pod, or a non-brand pod. Tweaks the formula but the system doesn't need to change because it does the same job.
And Maguire, Evans, Varane, they're like a bar of soap. Will it get the clothes clean? Sort of, yes. But you can't run the machine the same way you did with a pod, and those changes are going to be a pain, they're going to make the system less efficient, they're going to make other parts of the system look bad.
And I make that comparison because it's the most stark, but I could just as easily be talking about Dalot vs Wan-Bissaka, or Hojlund vs Rashford, or Shaw vs Lindelof, or Casemiro vs McTominay. We're littered with these problems. And until they're fixed the issues with injuries will continue because the drop-off from starter to second choice may as well be the dropoff from a washing machine to soaking your clothes in the bath. Ten Hag is always going to want to use the best players for his system and he can't play 60+ games a season with the same 11.
I really like Antonio Silva, but in terms of price, we're better off going for a Todibo or a Simakan + Tosin for free for that RCB position. Given that we would be looking to sell Lindelof, Evans, and Maguire, it would make sense to get those two plus Branthwaite for the LCB.
My line-up (24-25): Onana, Dalot, Todibo, Inacio, L.Martinez, K.Mainoo, Wieffer, Nico Williams, Sudakov, Olise, Hojlund
How much would Antonio Silva cost? We do need a squad as well... Olise would easily be 50 mill plus
A fair and reasonable assessment, that team will get you nailed on 5th spot
EtH IN ❤
with you 1000% on lisandro hes the captain hes first to remind of puyol who along with baresi played as all time great of sheer mentality, intelligence, organizations, focus, determination and fearlessness. Baresi and maldini are y two favorites I never compare any to them but puyol I see far fro la masia boy he was sheer relentlessness and loyalty ultimate captain almost like maldini ,altough only one play for same club as father and lifted european cup as captain and one club career.
Just those games martinez was back as youve said if you have any eye for game you see 180 degree change in composure and competitiveness. It challenges all skill players or any player to play with intensity Pique was liability but nothing like he was without puyol and he is first to say this. Also first to say cant coach what he had and "disadvantages" same as carlos smaller but unique use low center of gravity as low leverage. He has even better ball skill not saying he will be carlos or baresi obviously but he personifies one of greatest sayings ever play for nae on front of shirt and they will never forget nae on back. He has such an ipact on varane even before world cup final in walk out he gave hi huge hug hes who you want to have your back. He wears the shirt again like a carlos. Hope he stays healthy he canlead right squad of players to titles and multiple hes a chapion and relentless. chapeau man. Koby needs a strong partner to let hi go forward too aybe only tactic change needs to happen other than that just right players healthy and depth. Garnacho ran for 120 minutes yesterday at world class level as winger and was involved in 3 goals. It was kante like effort obviously in whole other world style position wise. I always loved makelele with zidane times have changed but mainoot covers deceptive ground hes so smooth and graceful yet goes forward with such threat too he needs partner and benfica are football factory. Sporting and porto are great too but where I live we are all casa benfica!
We have players like bruno, koby, lisandro who get better with better players and wwelcoe depth not threatened by it as copetition and thats mark of chapion tea thats ETH or anyone has to clean out of this squad no etitleent everything earned and martine exemplifies that like few players in world. Maccalister, alvarez , enzo , more exemplify this and show why they were world cup champs and why so many are playing ajor roles on top clubs. Roero, enzo, garnacho will have his tie if doesnt switch to spain, otaendi, paredes, lo celso, depaul montiel, molina they ran themselves into ground and bullied a dutch tea twice their size. Romero lisandro, and dibu in goal is my drea cb pair and keeper and remind almost again like spain 08-10-12 chapion runs as they have copa, finalissia, wc, and copa favorites again they are so good and diverse. Bruno fan but im portuguese fun fact joao is joe i portuguese hence its popularity as first name :) great vid love your style and vision sae type teams I "dream" of seeing
I like but dont think it will be enough. I wish we could have factored in the bench too for injuries and suspensions. That and players who should go.
Yeah I don't think that team is winning a league.
@@g_od2080we were never going to win it next year regardless of how many players come in. This summer transfer we just need to create a solid foundation and work from there.
It’s simply amazing how long shiners last…
😅😅😅😅i ?. I 😅 😅😅😅I 😅can
In Hollywood they last about a couple of hours tops 😅
A dream summer yes, but a realistic one. With the backroom staff looking like they won't be in until the summer, this summer is tricky. It's more about moving on players and seeing progress. Don't fuck up this summer and spend 100m on a gamble. Reshuffle the squad and get the foundations ready for the Ineos era.
Bro, if we need to prosper, we need to change the formation from 4-3-2-1 to something more lethal, with more input on the midfielders.
United reported to have opened talks with Benfica over Silva a few weeks ago (probably crap) and Dorgu and Weiffer linked to Barcelona and Liverpool December last year so these are well known targets for big clubs. They’re much better than the bollocks SkySports comes out with but they’re still difficult acquisitions. If no CL could be a very hard to get if it’s a fight for them with Barcelona and the Scousers. Good names though they’re the type of young players we should be looking at
Who does the 6 nd lb play for now?
Ste I would prefer grimaldo from leverkusen to fight for Shaw spot.. and Geryokeres from sporting Lisbon to challenge Rasmus!
Ahhh Ste i rate your content bro but saying martinez is the best CB in yhe premier league is a wild take, he clearly isnt hes very good, but i actually think hes a midfielder masquerading as a CB
A choice on the wings of rashford, Garnacho, olise and Diallo would be quite dangerous. No matter who you bring on from the bench there’s a goal threat
Please not Rushford.... He's done
For Left back we should look no further than Estupian
Best left back in the league for the past 2 season
world class????? Don't tell me you're one of those people who throws the term world class around with every good player
@@prajyotraikar8553 best left back in what league?
Are you ok?
@@richson222 who has been better than him?
@@prajyotraikar8553 he wouldnt even be the best LB on the team when Shaw is healthy.
@@Adam-xe5xm would be a class back up tho
Still on the fence about Onana - he has a very unorthodox way of parrying shots that many times will mean that the saves mean nothing. I played as a goalkeeper for 35 years and we were always taught that when you cannot catch the ball, you need to parry it away from danger - be it to the side or over the bar. What you don't want is to make a great save and be beaten by an immediate rebound because you left the ball in the danger area. In yesterday's match, Salah's goal should never have happened if his technique was better. I can understand parrying in front of you when you save a point blank shot, but when you dive and get a good hand to the ball, you can easily control where the ball goes, and the stronger the shot, the more distance you can get when you parry.
He did better than the Liverpool keeper!
@@uniteddreamer You think so? How?
@@kevincassar8022 his positioning on the last goal was out. And I see Onana stopping the goal Rashford scored. Two of the goals Onana conceded were deflections otherwise they were easily saved. I thought he had a great performance and one of his deflected saves went out for a throwin. So one went into the danger area that got snapped up. That's normal in such an open game. And compared to de gea and the Liverpool keeper he looks more secure in deadball situations due to his physical presence. I think he's settling into being a top keeper.
@@uniteddreamerHe's improving, don't get me wrong. His presence is good and he's mostly strong on crosses. However, his diving technique is bad, and unlike a mistake that can happen to anyone, when the fundamentals are bad, it's harder to fix.
What about back up for the other 10 positions ?
I think Floran wirtz as a backup for bruno.
Greenword/olise, guirassey/hojlund, mount/ mainoo, todibo/a.silva, ndicka/ martinez, paulinha alongside mainoo
i'd like Amadou Onana, Jeremie Frimpong and Federico Chiese (if Rashy leaves) to join in
being realistic, id say united need to concentrate on getting 2 defenders who could bench Martinez, and then younger version of Casemiro.
left back United have Fernandez who's out with Benfica atm, and Amas will be coming through the youth in the next couple of years, Shaw and Malacia are good for a moment.
with even more youth talent breaking through, i can see a few more goodbyes than hellos
I don’t completely agree as apposed to what I usually do with many of your videos Ste mate.
Listening to Sir Jim it does seem like we’re going to be taking a different approach and try to attract younger talents to build around instead of this Utd ‘galactico’ experiment that has failed so badly however I don’t see that being 80 million or the absurd amount Benfica want for the likes of Antonio Silva.
Dorgu would be brilliant for the future maybe bring him in and give him cup ties + minutes off the bench to relish his potential.
I do think though our left back target should have premier league experience and really do think that Antonee Robinson or Pervis Estupinan would be the perfect fits for us. Garnacho is also not only statistically but eye test also better on the right wing I think it compliments his play style so much more so I really don’t know what’s going on there in terms of what wing we’ll be looking at although I do say bring back Greenwood. Completely agree on the a more experienced back up striker (free) option … Iheancho could fit that profile but I’d much prefer Bruno Petkovic.
Use Mount as an 8 also not as a back up / rotation with Bruno.
Keep up the good work mate 👍
I’ve got no idea we’re Mason mount fits into any team ? I don’t know what he gives !!? Honestly don’t . Hope he gets a chance without getting injured and we can see something .
If have thought he’d be releasing pressure on Bruno playing so many matches ?
Yeah not bad. I just wanna get Shaw fit.
Would a crazy idea be to play Martinez as a 6. Bring in new centre back to possibly play along side Harry? I can see Maguire staying he’s had a good season
What’s your estimated costing for the new players here?
I think there’s absolutely no chance we get both Silva and neves from Benfica unless we fork out over 200m which is too much imo
I think it's fairly realistic but I would be more willing to consider selling Bruno than Rashford. No way we get value for Rashford but Bruno we could and he's about to age out of he intensity expected of him. We're already seeing it but maybe we can get someone to pay 60m+ for his last high intensity year and move Mount in with space for Gore/Hannibal/Fletcher/Curley/someone from outside to step up as back up/rotation for Mount
We need two more players with at least a 1:3 productivity rate and a few 1:4's for the bench.
Keep dreaming 😂
Realistically, we need to prioritise:
- 2 x centre backs to replace Varane and Lindelöf (one of which who can also cover at left back given reliability of Shaw and Malacia)
- 1 x defensive midfielder to replace casemiro
- At least 1 x striker to replace martial and support hojlund
I think Antony, along with Diallo get another season battling for the right wing.
We should definitely look at bringing in Rafa and Rabiot on free transfers as additional depth in midfield and upfront in addition to the 4 x solid purchases in the key positions (which will cost best part of 200m)
António Silva is a beast with the right guidance he could become one of the best cb in the world
Antonee Robinson is a great option for left back also
Need a marquee central midfielder, De Jong/Bruno Guimaraes/Joao Neves/Nicolo Barella and a defensive midfielder Kimmich/Paulinha/Onana/Koopmeiners
This ain't FIFA mate, we are short on cash and need to be clever. We've had 10 years of "marquee signings" under Woodward and where's that gotten us?
i think we will get a marquee mid, and im hoping for Neves. The other will be a cheap free transfer or loan.
