So another season begins for the Red Devils in the Premier League, after a disastrous 2024-25 campaign.

Can Man United qualify for Europe?

Will Man United win a trophy this season?

Will the new signings make much of an impact?

Will the manager survive the season?
 
Going by pre season there seems to be Team unity that was lacking previously. Everyone seems to be pulling in one direction Which is a positive sign.

How well we do depends how quickly the new players Gel in with the rest. What is evident, a full pre season has done wonders regarding tactics, philosophy, cohesion. Which has led to some good performances in the pre season games.

Regarding success in the forthcoming season, I'd take a top 6 finish and a domestic trophy as success bearing in mind our previous season.

One thing for sure, if we can land Sesko or Watkins, (my preference Mteta) and maybe add a CM then it clearly proves UTD with all their issues still have the Pulling Power to attract Good quality players.

All good points.

I definitely believe that we need a CM. Casimero's legs are gone, and I don't rate Ugarte. Not sure about Kobbie in Almorin's system.

We also need a new goalkeeper, as Onana is a disaster waiting to happen.

If we can sign a striker, CM and a goalkeeper, I would be very optimistic about the season.

Dont know how true this is, possibly just rumours. We are linked with Donnarumma

 
Cunha and Mbeumo are good and sensible signings

Man U were awful last season but there were games when they played well, just had no real threat which Cunha/Mbeumo and Sesko/Watkins will solve

With no European football I think Man U can have a good season, whilst I don't think they have enough for top 4, I can see them amongst the pack below especially as it looks like ourselves, Villa etc are going backwards from last season

I would love Donnarumma but I am not sure how true this is. We were also linked with Emi Martinez a few weeks ago and nothing came of that.
 
Ineos carer facing doping probe worked at Man Utd

The Ineos Grenadiers staff member who left the Tour de France after being asked to speak to the International Testing Agency (ITA) about doping allegations relating to the 2012 season worked at Manchester United last year.

The cycling team confirmed David Rozman had received an interview request from the ITA after initially being contacted in April, and "stepped back" from Tour duties last month.

The Slovenian is one of Ineos' soigneurs, a role that involves working as an assistant to riders and providing a range of services from logistics to massages.

It has now emerged Rozman worked alongside United's soft tissue therapists for a one month placement in 2024 as part of a 'knowledge exchange' after Ineos owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe became co-owner of the club.

BBC Sport has been told United had no knowledge of the recently published historic allegations and insiders claim they have no involvement in them.

United declined to comment. Ineos have been approached for comment.


 
Man Utd striker Hojlund available for £30m

Manchester United are prepared to sell striker Rasmus Hojlund for £30m.

The Denmark striker scored twice against Bournemouth in Chicago on Wednesday.

Immediately after the game he sought out waiting journalists to say his intention was to remain at United despite their ongoing interest in signing RB Leipzig's Slovenia forward Benjamin Sesko.

However, the situation is not quite so straightforward.

Newcastle are also keen on Sesko but are yet to strike a deal with RB Leipzig for the 22-year-old.

United are waiting to decide their next move and there have been reports that the player would prefer to switch to Old Trafford.

United sources are adamant they could do a deal before selling players.

But it is accepted that there would have to be exits to ensure they remain compliant with the Premier League's profit and sustainability rules.

And, if Sesko arrived, Hojlund would be marginalised.

If Hojlund was sold for £30m, it would effectively be a loss for United given the forward's 'book value' is £43m as he is two years into the five-year contract he signed.

United have spent almost £130m this summer on Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha.

BBC
 
Donnarumma must have had a blow to his head if he is pondering leaving PSG for United.

One of the biggest clubs in the World.

Possibly waking up from its Somber.

Have made good Signings so far. Possibly more to come.

Maybe he likes what he sees ( if we are in for him )

Or maybe something really bad happened behind the scenes between him and Paris and no serious club is looking for a GK right now, hence he has no options but to join the relegation contenders with a leaky roof.

Let me help you out of your delusional Somber.

If Arteta fails to win a major trophy this season, then Fathom this.

6 years without winning a major Trophy after spending the best part of 1Billion Quid.
 
Isn't PSG signing Lucas Chevalier?

Not sure we could afford his wages atm anyway since we are trying to bring down our wage structure after years of financial mismanagement.

There's nothing concrete with him linked with us at the moment. We are locked in with Newcastle regarding signing sesko.

However, a keeper and a CM are high on our priority list

No, please let me help you. Arsenal will win the PL before United win it again.

United is no longer a serious club. It is just a legacy club and its status is rapidly washing away.

And what exactly have Arsenal achieved in the last 20+ years?
 
Arsenal have won 4 FA Cups in the last 20 years. In contrast, Man United since 2013 have won 2 FA Cups, 2 League Cups and 1 Europa League. Man United in their worst period have won more than Arsenal.

Exactly. Delusion and some Gooners. Goes well Together.

Arsenal never finished 15th in the Premier League even during their darkest period between 2011 and 2021. In fact they never finished outside the top 8 in this period.

No amount of domestic cups and second class European cups can compensate for the humiliation of finishing 15th.

I'm not bragging about Utds Performances. It's you lecturing us. I just showed you Arsenals decorated past 20+ years.
 
2005-2021 period was nothing to be proud of, but it wasn’t never as bad as as current United.

What exactly have you achieved since 2021. Possibly one title challenge. No domestic trophies. Failed in Europe. Is this the Gold standard you selling to Utd fans.

Arsenal are building towards a league title and they will get their sooner rather than later. They are extremely close.

United on the other hand cannot even build their leaky roof and were three positions away from getting relegated in spite of having a higher net spend than Arsenal since Jan 2021 🤣🤣

So yes, United can learn a hell of a lot from what Arsenal have done in the last 4 years and perhaps take a leaf from their book to get their joker club back on track.

The same joker club your referring to has won more major Trophies than Majority Southern xxnts Put together.

@Amjid Javed is spot on. Delusion amongst some is bewildering. Youve just admitted to celebrating and endorsing failure.

The fact fans are arguing whose failure is better, just shows the rats in the gutter level some fans are holding their clubs standards to.

It's embarrassing to say the least

Not sure why you are summoning your abu for help when I have exposed his ignorance and agenda in multiple threads.

As far as winning more trophies is concerned, like I said, United is a legacy club that can only cling onto its past. Its status as a massive club is rapidly washing and this is why it is easy for players to reject them now.

I repeat: you have finished three positions above relegation in spite of having a higher net spend than Arsenal since 2021. Let that sink in. United is the most poorly run football club in the world and I would advise that you spend more time and energy on that rather than talking about Arsenal who have done far better than your club in the last few years and will continue to do better.

Arsenal may not have won the PL yet under Arteta but they are not going to finish 15th even if they play their women's team.

Let me remind you. Its you who came on to the UTD thread to Promote Arsenal’s Legacy of the last 20+ years. Lol.

No, I came here to suggest that Donnarumma should get his brain scanned for contemplating a move to United in the prime of his career.

"Arsenal are building towards a league title and they will get their sooner rather than later. They are extremely close."

Oh dear, the delusion. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

If anything, Arsenal are further away than they were a couple of years ago, when they bottled the league despite spending 93% of the season at the top of the league. Last season was the perfect opportunity to win the league, especially with Man City having an underwhelming season, but Fraudeta was outdone by Arne Slot, who was in his first season in English football.

Though it's cute that you still believe that Arsenal can win the league under Arteta. :misbah

What kind of eunuchs finish 15th after having the second highest net spend?
 
While the amateur Arteta has been in charge, Utd have won a trophy, reached multiple finals , while his team has bottled every competition. Yet some Arsenal fans think they are world beaters lol
You forgot to mention that they also finished 15th 🤣🤣🤣

You keep repeating that Man United finished 3 places above the relegation zone as if Man United fans didn't know that. Despite a disastrous season, we still reached a cup final, something your club and your "great" manager haven't done since 2020, which was during the lockdown season in front of no fans. What sort of a great manager goes 5 years without even reaching a cup final?

I can't wait to hear the excuses that you will make for Arteta when he once again fails to win anything this season. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

BBC
I will be stunned if any team pays £30 million for Hojlund. Most likely, he will be loaned out with an option to buy.
 
2nd or 15th both end up with zero silverware. Arsenal have CL which is the only positive, not that you have a chance to win it.

Rubin Amorin to win the title before Arteta. Seeing Arteta this is defo on. :)
In the context of WINNING TROPHIES. Finishing second or Fifteenth wins you ZILCH

Absolute nonsense.

The difference between 2nd and 15th is not just CL qualification. There is a lot more to it than that.

When you finish 15th, you know that you need to completely overhaul the players, the system and the culture of the club to get yourself back in contention; when you finish 2nd, you know that you are extremely close and just to need to find that extra push to get over the line.

The entire trajectory of the club, the targets. Everything changes. You can no longer attract the top talents on the market.

Last summer, United were aiming for a top 4 finish. This summer, they are aiming for a top 6 because going from 15th to 4th in one season is going to be incredibly tough, since even after making the acquisitions in the summer, they are still weaker than Chelsea and Newcastle, and perhaps even weaker than Spurs who had a torrid season as well.

Arsenal may not have silverware since 2021, but every single United fan with a functional brain would happily swap the last 4 years of Arsenal and United because the trajectories have been completely different.

Winning cups (other than CL) mean nothing when you are failing in the league. This is why Ten Hag was sacked in spite of winning two cups in two seasons and Ange was sacked in spite of wining EL.

Both Ten Hag and Ange would have been in the job and would have had the full backing of the board if their last couple of seasons were exactly like Arteta's last couple of seasons.
 
A bid for Sesko could be imminent.


Apparently Newcastle have upped their bid in the region of 80 million.

Hope we don't start a bidding war and we move on. For me a CM and goalkeeper is more of a priority.

Really hoping we land a CM during this window. Cunha, Bruno & Mbeumo already look to be on the same wavelength from the limited game time they had yesterday but we need a proper controlling CM to go with that.
 
Spending £70+ million on an unproven striker. We are making the same mistake that we made with Hojlund.

I would rather spend £50 million on Olle Watkins.

Same here. Whilst Seskos all round game is better than Hojlunds, end of the day he's still young inexperienced.

I agree, we need players for the Now. Olle Watkins, or maybe Mteta from Palace. Would be perfect. Younger than Watkins, but has brilliant allround game for the Premier League.

We are in a position where we can't be wasting money on unproven players from foreign leagues. Clubs like Man City and Liverpool have that luxury, but we don't. We need to be signing players who are playing in the Premier League, players who are more likely to succeed. I like the signings of Mbuemo and Cunha, but I am not sold on Sesko.
 
Maulvi Mbeumo looks ready to set the league on fire this season in a United shirt.

We are not ready for this super athlete who certainly looks the part.

IMG_8274.jpeg
 
Ornstein just confirmed Sesko wants to come to us.

Also, looks like we will have to wait for sales to get a CM in.

It’s a bit of a gamble spending so much on a young , not much different to lfc signing Ekitike . But if he both do well , their price will only increase ! Watkins is a better option but only for the short term , his age means the club would lose money .
 
Lol. Only reason he said that to make it look as if he's got a impossible task. Bottlejob symptoms already kicking in
He is a troll.

He knows that Fraudteta, as per usual, won't win anything this season, but to make himself feel good, he wants to take shots at a far superior football club.

Best to ignore him.
 
Makes you wonder whether he'll be another one who'll join Utd's long list of footballing mercenaries.

There you go. You continue with your zero ball knowledge. You don't even know the facts. Mbeumo has not had much of a pre season. With 2 weeks to go, I'm pretty sure he will be ready for you Gooners.

How much is Mbeumo getting per week?
 
Need more than fingers crossed, turning into a disaster class of a summer for us

No, keep your chin up.
You have ambitious and wealthy owners , and extremely good coach and fantastic fan base... if Manchester can develop a club that has worldwide support then no reason why Newcastle can't do the same. Will just take sometime...

Keep the faith
 
Sesko is still quite raw and not particularly prolific in the Bundesliga which is quite an open league in terms of style of play. However a front three of Cunha, Mbuemo and Sesko is by an order of magnitude better than the various toothless combinations Man Utd had last season.

It also takes pressure off Hojlund and Zirkzee, neither of whom are anywhere near ready to lead the line for a club like Man Utd (and may never be). You'd take a massive loss selling them now, but if they produce even a half-decent season's worth of output in a stronger, more settled team (say 8-9 PL goals) then you could shift them next summer and recoup more of the fees you paid for them.

If Man Utd sign a consistently reliable goalkeeper and a solid CM to play alongside Bruno (who has many skills but positional discipline as a CM is not one of them) then even a rival fan like me would have to admit they've had an impressive window at least on paper.
 
My agenda is against clueless retards with zero ball knowledge. But don't worry your biggest humiliation is coming this season. Your wild claim about Arteta winning 2 titles in 4 years (December 2023) will be exposed. The fact your arguing with united fans over failure, when your celebrating mediocrity says it all. 🤡

Im still certain. Behind his obvious trolling, he does have credible footy input.

The problem is. The obvious Man - child behavior symptoms kick in far to regularly.
