Man Utd Thread:

As tough of group that United could have got. Finalists PSG, semi finalists  Leipzig and to top it off the pot 4 team is a unwanted long trip to face the turkish champions.

In hindsight some might say it was probably better to finish last season in 4th looking at Chelseas group but United had enough of those uninteresting ties in Europe in recent years already.

I thought league finishing position wasn't really relevant. All the English teams had high enough co-efficients to be 2nd seeds (apart from Liverpool who were automatically top seeds being English champions).

Being 3rd or 4th last season made no difference, Utd had to be kept on different side of draw as Liverpool for TV reasons ie if Liverpool are on Tuesday Utd are Wednes and vice versa....

Better Utd teams have failed to come out of easier groups than that but all in all I'd see no reason why they won't contend in it anyway

Yes of course though it doesn't stop some people thinking United would have got Chelseas easier group if finished 4th. Uniteds only guarantee for a easier group on paper was winning the Europa league last season.

Various reports on Twitter saying Cavani to complete transfer as free agent tomorrow. Probably rules out Sancho coming until 2021. €10m in wages a year.
Dalot to AC Milan on loan and Anders Pereira to Lazio on loan. I'd imagine Romero will be sold before end of transfer window.

ESPN in Spanish confirming Cavani.

A typical Woodward signing throwing ridiculous wages and agent fees at 33 year old injury prone player.

[Milltown Row2]

Pure madness, that's a keep the fans quiet signing!

[Dar31]

No wonder teams and agents are driving up the prices they know all they have to do is wait and eventually woodward will throw money at the last minute  better to sign no one and stick to their guns on prices so agents and clubs know when united say final offer that it is final take it or leave it

[OgraAnDun]

Supposedly he's signed so late in the window as they waited til he reduced his salary demands. Might be a decent alternative Plan B sort, I hope he's not the alternative to a RW though.

Yep, a last minute grab trying to mask yet another dreadful transfer window.

This is where the money goes. There's no real plan or ambition. Just spunk out a few million on a name when the fans get a bit too agitated.

Telles will probably get done tomorrow. For about the fee Porto quoted two months ago. Pissing about all summer for no reason.

[BennyCake]

All transfer windows are dreadful.

[Milltown Row2]

Hopefully Cavani can play in defence.. back four out!

[BennyCake]

This is heading for another 6-1.

Edit: or worse.

[Dar31]

Absolute shit before the sending off we are goosed now id say shut up shop and give away nothing but they have no chance with that defence  stick on all attackers and go for it 

[Cunny Funt]

Writing was on the wall with the recent awful team performances against Palace and Brighton. Totally fallen a part since that dodgy sending off but before they gifted Spurs two soft goals. Looking like a record home PL defeat.
