144: Sesko SWAP Deal? Onana TRANSFER Warning!

0:01Oh, it's not sticking. Hello everybody, good morning and welcome to the United Stands. I'm Mark Goldbridge and this is your latest Manchester United transfer news as Benjamin Sesco could be involved with the swap deal as Manchester United move Rasmus Hoyland closer to the exit door. We've also got injury updates on three key players and also we've got a goalkeeper situation. Chris Wheeler is basically saying that if Man United buy a goalkeeper, Andre Inanna will ask to leave because he wants to be the, you know, he wants to be number one. So basically, if we can get a goalkeeper in, Inanna will leave.

0:43Well, here I am. I'm ready to go. I'm ready today. Just on a short term loan, I'm offering myself up to Manchester United. We move. I will be your goalkeeper for the next week two weeks three weeks however long just if that's true I borrowed these from Ben Foster by the way that's why he's got his name on it um so they're good gloves I could do a bit of punching a bit of tipping it around you know I'm used to the angles I won't I'm not like you know I'm not a volleyball player like Anana I will actually you know as the shot hits me I'll twist my arm so it gets the angle right so if it's true what Chris Wheeler's saying if an honor said he's going to leave if we buy a goalkeeper my plan is i will be there next week at carrington ready to go and i'll just be the goalkeeper for however long not very long because i'm not very good but at least an honor will leave i'm willing to stop doing the united stand for two weeks just do you know practice training every every time it goes in i'll big up the players because they'll score every shot i'll go oh good shot harry and all that lot and then we'll get rid of him so so what do we what do we think about that i think that's a great idea you know if he's saying that he's going to leave if we get a goalkeeper get me in on a short turn loan and uh we're absolutely laughing but uh we'll talk about that in a moment because obviously i mean that is true that is apparently true we will talk about that in a moment but let's start off with uh oh god where's that gone now why why why have you done that everything was working really well um oh hayden hackney's gone to middlesbrough no he was already at middlesbrough he's gone to ipswich or something like that matters it doesn't really matter does it uh okay let's start off with the news i'm in all the right oh it was going so well this is what happens when you're not in your normal place right we're going to talk about sesco first definitely anyway and the update also coming in from chris wheeler is that manchester united rasmus hoyland is likely to leave if a deal is reached for sesco either through a sale or a loan um that we have got a further update from on sesco from fabrizio romano as well but i'm a little i've got a little bit disappointed with that i know it's quite a i understand it i think you know united can't retain everybody the money isn't there to do it i understand that completely that we've got to sell and, you know, we're poor and we didn't get into Europe and, you know, and all that stuff.

3:14But I do think that this is for me where, you know, it's a lot of pressure for Sesko to come in and be the guy. And what about if he gets injured? So, and look, you know, injury update on Xerxi. He's not ready for the Everton game. So Xerxi's missed all of preseason, really. maybe he'll be uh maybe he'll get a few minutes against Fiorentina but Xerxi has already missed all of the pre-season games Leeds West Ham Bournemouth and Everton so you know people say we've got Xerxi but he does pick you know I don't know I mean can I get I can what what what's the um just very very quickly here we may as well riff here so yeah look the story is that we're going to sell Rasmus to get Zerksy, to get Sesko.

4:03And whilst I think that's okay, I don't want to say anything without actually having the information in front of me. But Zerksy's injury record, bloody hell, did not know that. Get out of the way. Thigh problem, April till June. um yeah he's had quite a considerable amount of injuries in the last three years um ankles hamstrings ligaments thigh hamstring don't know what the current problem is so yeah i mean look injuries are injuries are our biggest concern aren't they so look yeah if we are potentially looking at a swap deal with leipzig apparently they really want rasmus if we're looking at a loan deal with Leipzig for Rasmus if we're looking at a sale to somebody else or a loan to somebody else.

4:56I personally just think I agree with Ali Baba. I would just keep him. I would keep him. I think he looks better mentally. And I think there is always, look, the case for, Your Honour, the case for keeping Rasmus is Sesko is new in the league, could be inexperienced, could also get injured also the Premier League is very intense and it's very rare that you keep a striker on for 90 minutes every single game so you want something to come off the bench now what if that's something look if you're 3-0 up against Burnley bring Obi on I get it but what if you're 1-1 against Everton at home and he's knackered and you need a goal you bring Rasmus on for that don't you you don't throw in a 17 year old so I would keep him around also I think there's a strong case to say and I don't know why people aren't talking about this in fact I read it and I read somebody talk about it the other day to be fair why are we punishing Rasmus in the sense that he obviously looks a lot better in pre-season and everyone's saying we've got to take note of the fact that we're better in pre-season so we're better in pre-season but we can't take notice of Rasmus who's been better in pre-season and on top of that is it not unfair to say well to be fair for the last two years he's had Anthony Ganacho and Rashford behind him who don't pass they don't pass he has one pre-season game with Dorgue who hasn't got Ganacho who to stop him getting the ball and getting forward he puts a cross in and we score a good goal and I just think whatever happens with Rasmus and it's down to Amarim Amarim has chosen Sesko over Watkins Amarim has chosen Bruno over 100 million pounds if Amarim chooses selling Rasmus over keeping him then absolutely you have to back the manager of course you do but I do think there is a case for any striker would have struggled behind that creative force over the last two years.

6:48I think that's a fair point. But my big opinion on it is that we're doing this for financials. We're not doing this for football reasons. It doesn't make sense to me for a football reason to do this. And there's a lot of people in the chat saying, just do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. Because they don't like Rasmus. And I get that. Ultimately, I understand that. But in a purely footballing decision you would keep him because it's always better to have more options than less options so for a footballing reason I would keep Rasmus I think for financial reasons they'll get rid of him because they need to bring money in but as we spoke about on the eight o 'clock show last night we are well stacked at centre back we've got seven for three positions we are well stacked at number 10 we've got six for two positions up front if we sell Rasmus we've got one striker one player who's really a number nine sorry a number 10 and a 17 year old i want to be stacked up front i i don't look loan or sale don't give a shit alone he's not here anyway but i i would um i would keep i would keep because i think we're in for a very big season fifth place is up for grabs and i would keep i want as many options as possible if sesco's having a bad game or he's you know he's a little bit off it i want to take him off and throw another striker on so i would keep in my opinion um maybe we should run a poll on that that sounds like a very good idea um who will let me do it yes start a poll um

8:21rasmus keep or sell start the poll there we go okay uh let me come back to the news okay what the fuck is going on here to get on my nerves this morning right so updates on sesco from fabrizio romano i will talk about the goalkeeper situation again i don't know whether i put the gloves back on but we'll see about that so this actually came in overnight i don't know what fabrizio is doing for sleep i mean i really don't i've got i had a massive headache yesterday i've still got it a little bit today that's just through lack of sleep i mean how does fabrizio do it he must be taking something i'm not saying he's doing anything he shouldn't be doing but i don't know how you operate on such little sleep the guy must be mega fit or something but he's superhuman effectively he says manchester united in the recent hours july the 31st with their directors made direct contact with leipzig to inform that they are prepared to bid for benjamin sesko they want to bid for sesko but will only do it if they get encouragement from the player that he wants to join now it's on sesco to decide now this is a big update this is a really big update i should have warned you about this it's now on sesco to decide newcastle are ready to pay and manchester united are ready to bid newcastle are prepared to match whatever is needed with leipzig and the player united are ready to bid and negotiate with leipzig which is different to newcastle this is part of united's strategy to show the player that they are serious and ready to do business for sesco on the club side united are showing sesco how ready they are by contacting leipzig if the player wants to come we are ready to bid the story is entering important stages and it's on sesco to decide what he wants to do now some people quite rightly have started to get a little bit concerned by that because i think quite rightly quite rightly that's three and that's our trick when david ornstein said man united are only focused on Cesco.

10:24Many of us, myself included, thought, here we go. Not here we go. I thought, well, that's it. This is like Brian and Bermot. We're negotiating with Brentford. He wants to join Manchester United. It's just a matter of time. But that wasn't actually what Ornstein said. Ornstein said Man United have landed on Cesco. That's the player they're going to go for if they go for a striker. He didn't say Benjamin Sesko has chosen Manchester United. So that update from Fabrizio is we've told Leipzig we're ready to negotiate. And we will the minute Sesko says he wants to come to Manchester United, which he clearly hasn't technically done.

11:06So Newcastle is saying we're not going to negotiate. We'll pay what you want and we'll pay Sesko what he wants. So Newcastle are there, legs wide open, saying, come in, come here. And Man United are going, we want you, but we're not Newcastle. We're not just going to throw money at the problem. We will negotiate a price for Leipzig. And that means we want you because when we negotiate with people, we don't, you know, that means we want you. So technically, he hasn't made his mind up yet, which some people are getting a little bit concerned about on the old socials. um i i look never say never in football never say never in football you know you just don't know roy keen was going to join blackburn any dog leash went away for the weekend to play golf when he came back sir alex was there hugging roy keen and not because they were just friends but because he was holding up a man united shirt so anything can happen when you think you've done a deal.

12:04But my stance is still, I don't think David Ornstein, Man United are publicly involved to this extent, unless they've had some encouragement from the player. And I believe the player is literally just saying to Man United, go and start negotiating with Leipzig and tell me whether they're going to do a deal. Because if they're not going to do a deal with you, they are going to do a deal with Newcastle and I'm going to go there. So I'm not going to declare I want Man Man United until I know you can do a deal with Leipzig. So I think that Man United are probably saying we're not going to try and do a deal until you say you want to come to us.

12:42It's not perfect, by the way. It's not perfect. And it's a little bit technical for us all on an early Friday morning show. But I understand it. I'd be interested to see if you understand it. But I do understand it because Sesko, once bitten, twice shy, doesn't want to go down the road of committing to Man United and then the deal not happening and then ruining his chance of going to Newcastle. On the other hand, Man United don't really want to start negotiating with Leipzig until Sesko says he wants to come to Man United because that strengthens their negotiating power. If you think about Mbamo, we were negotiating with Brentford fully in the knowledge that he only wanted us.

13:22So it's a bit of an impasse at the moment in the sense that United will want Sesko to say, I only want Man United because it makes them strong in the negotiations. if he doesn't say that Leipzig can say we've got Newcastle here we're going to pay this money if you don't pay this money we're not doing a deal with you but United will want to be able to go he's not going to Newcastle he's coming to United so take our offer it's a little bit weird because um Sesko's agent actually spoke about this when Arsenal were in for him and they said we're not interested in screwing Leipzig over um we basically we'll do what we can to get a good deal for Leipzig which at some point becomes a little bit silly because yeah Leipzig helped you out but they are part of the RB group Stahlsberg and Leipzig helped each other out so you don't need to help Leipzig out they are going to earn very good money from you you need to be helping out Manchester United if that's where you want to go so it'll be interesting to see how it pans out I think there might still be a couple of twists and turns in it but I think that explains why the delay is there and I think really it's going to come down to what Man United offer because if Newcastle are going to offer 70 million pounds there you go and Man United come in and go we'll give you 65 all Leipzig have got to do is say no we're not doing the deal then and then Sesco might go well I did say if you don't if you can't do a deal with Leipzig then I'll go to Newcastle so I think we will end up with him but it's a bit of a weird one it's a bit of a weird one and it's a weird one because Leipzig and Sesko have such a very very strong relationship and it seems to be that I will leave but only if you get the best deal possible whereas you know in some deals it's like you know I really really want this move and I think that's what we need to happen for it to move but I'm still confident we'll get him um if I'm being completely honest uh for a period period last season says slazy we had two available forwards for three spots right now we have six in the squad a couple of injuries fans and we are in trouble thank you very much slazy for your super chat if united get sesco and donnarumma somehow and get an extra midfielder do you see them as title contenders within the next five years um if they keep amroom says dean um i mean i i generally don't think that will happen dean i don't think we will get donnarumma i think we're being played and I think anybody with a brain realises that.

15:50Sesco, I believe we can get. I'm not sure we're going to get a midfielder now. I don't think we're going to get a midfielder. I think a midfielder, if I'm being honest, I think a midfielder has been thrown out there by the club to make people calm in the last few weeks. Look, at the end of the day, let me tell you a very quick story. If I tell my kids on Christmas, a month before Christmas, I'm doing everything I can to get you a PS5, and they keep saying, am I going to get a PS5? Oh, I'm doing everything I can. I'm doing everything I can. It's possible. It's possible. It's possible. And then on Christmas Day morning, they don't get a PS5.

16:25They get Monopoly. They're disappointed for that day. But we have the best game of Monopoly ever, right? If I tell them three weeks before Christmas, we're not getting a PS5, then they're disappointed every day up to Christmas and massively on that day. So what I mean is, I think with the midfielder, it is a bit like the PS5 at Christmas. We're not actually getting one. We'd probably like to get one and we'll tell everybody that we're trying to get one, but deep down, I don't think we are getting one. I just think we'll get the disappointment and the reality when the transfer window closes, but they don't want to give it as now because they want to keep the hope going.

17:03I don't think it'll happen. Could we get a title in the next five years if we sign Cesco Donnarumma in a midfielder? Well, you would have to replicate last summer, this summer, next summer and the summer after and keep building because the thing about winning a title, Dean, is that Liverpool have just won a title and had the best transfer window I think they've ever had. I think Liverpool have had the best transfer window this summer than we've ever had. I don't know that we've ever had a summer transfer window like that in our history. I don't think that Liverpool have ever had a transfer window like that in their history.

17:37So, wow, that is the new standard ladies and gentlemen you win the premier league and you follow it up by having the best transfer window in your history that is the new standard so can man united win the premier league if they get donnarumma sesko and a midfielder honestly no because what the new standard is now is a standard we've never had before and this is why it tires me when i hear people talking about what liverpool did with klopp or what arsenal did with arteta or what man united it did with Sir Alex or what Ranieri did with Leicester. These are all massive irrelevancies because the new world wasn't the world those people operated in.

18:17You win the league and you go and spend half a billion and have your best ever transfer window in your club's history. That is the new standard now. So if we're not going to play that game, then we ain't going to win titles. It's as simple as that. I think we'd be a much better team, but we won't be winning titles. And who's to say that Liverpool went, what will Liverpool do when they don't win the league and that's liverpool that's liverpool um wish we get see wish we get a senior striker as a mentor and a backup says wgv patrick lynch is in the house thank you very much for your very generous 20 pound super chat patrick one of the uh legends of the live chat he says the biggest failing over the last decade is squad construction specifically with the striker they've been either too old injury prone or youngsters how often have we been left with zero options selling rasmus shouldn't be done lightly yeah well i i think i think if you were selling rasmus and bringing two strikers in i would get it but i think remeeling rasmus to bring sesco in is a financial decision it's not a footballing decision it's basically i know you want a striker amaran and here is your striker but we're taking your other one away and the point is when rasmus was here for two years he always needed another striker so you place rasmus with a striker how long are we going to be saying how long is it going to take his next season to say setzco needs support and and that to me is why i wouldn't get rid of him but it's financial it's glazenomics if we do it how long does amram have on his contract says liam talking anana next but i'm not putting the gloves back on i might put one glove back on um amram's contract has two years left on it yeah two seasons left on it from now so this season next season which means by the end of next season by by the end of this season coming up they'll have to make a decision because no manager goes into their last year do they uh sell ganacho to fund sesco or is that too simple says rob fans saying sell rasmus need to understand that xerxi playing in the nine is like bruno in the field he would do a job but he's not a striker very good rajaf this says is there a chance that sesco is considering to stay at Leipzig for one more year, hence the delay.

20:30The choice is currently Newcastle or United. Maybe he thinks he might be better next year. We haven't heard that bit, Shesh, but it's logical. First is enough. We will be playing one game a week, says Filippo. Talking rubbish. What price would you sell? If you're talking about Man United winning the league, you're talking absolutely rubbish. What price would you sell Rasmus for? 40, I think, says Liam. Well, I don't even want to get into that. I don't know what you'd sell him for. I mean, it would be a loss, wouldn't it? Which is why I think we'd have to loan him. And if we're loaning him, bloody keep him.

21:03Even watching in the USA, it's worth staying up till two for these morning shows. Just can't get enough. Let's go, Sesco United. Yeah. Big up, everybody. Wherever you're watching from, let us know in the chat. You're very, very welcome. Make sure you subscribe. Eight o 'clock show tonight, of course. And it's Friday. So we have a two o 'clock show today as well. Yes. Ben T. Welcome to the Members Club. thank you very much for tuning in gary has been up for six hours already trying to get you to sign that deal check the dm says jay and morning mark 4 a.m for me just wanted to see if you could be our goalie for the foreseeable future that's sack and it's my birthday today says jacob also my two year anniversary remember here's to another happy birthday to jacob everyone uh ben jacobs tweet or blowjob tweets says makele he just put bj tweet and i think he means ben jacobs but i keep rasmus for the squad we're hearing about needing to sell him because glenios are not capable of selling the players amrin wants to get rid of says ian good point ben jane ben jacobs cracker mark says jr stop yapping and read the ben jacobs bomber right okay okay okay okay okay okay apparently this is this is significant so um let me have a quick look oh yeah we've had it uh hey let's get ready for a cracker i haven't read it yet manchester united front runners for sesco after positive talk this week sesco keen to join even without european football newcastle fear sesco is going to old trafford despite remaining in talks deal still complicated by leap six asking price as arsenal found earlier in the window 75 million euros plus add-ons quoted to clubs so yeah i mean look i i didn't know that update and you know thank you to ben jacobs for it But what I would say is it still fits in massively with what we were talking about anyway, in the sense that I believe we are front runners and clearly we are.

22:58Newcastle will probably fear they're going to miss out again because they've missed out so many times. And on top of that, you've also got the scenario that Leipzig are going to drive a hard bargain as they did with Arsenal. it's a weird one i mean it is a really weird one and i just to summarize it really quickly because we spent 10 minutes talking about it already i think where the complication with this comes is that benjamin sesko will not commit to manchester united publicly because that would be a mistake on his part in case it falls through because he is not going to push leipzig like jokeres did he's going to basically sit back and say you deal with Leipzig I'm not pushing for it Leipzig are going to say Newcastle will give us what we want and Man United are going to go we can't give you that but we will give you this and then it's about whether that can happen or not so I think it's um I think it's quite interesting what's happened to Mas Raui Emsden James held the number three shirt when he was announced says Kristen I don't know what that's all about um thank you very much uh we are risking going down the same rabbit hole like we did years ago sesco and no proper backup then sesco becomes the villain because we don't have backup to help him says ray i think numbers are key i think at center back we've got huge numbers uh i i think you know we're fully aware of that um and i think that we you know i've said it i think we need to keep numbers yet um gorish says a moment of silence for those who missed yesterday's show.

24:33But seriously, how has Glynios got us worrying about finances when they're the ones responsible for everything, says Gourash. Yeah, I mean, to be fair, that Ben Jacobs update is basically what he said on the show yesterday. You're absolutely right, Gourash. And it would be interesting to know which strikers joined United at what age and how they were successful at United after Cantona, that is, says Tusha. Would you ever loan Gannaccio in case it doesn't work out with Amrim for any reason and we have to go big on a winger next summer? Amrim in just curious, says Dutth Commander. that um i'm glad you didn't say so that ganache can come back because i don't think that is an option that is ever going to happen uh i think that's that's basically done and dusted uh to be honest with you but um 72 percent of you would keep rasmus uh only 28 percent of you would sell him uh and remember look people would go oh hypocrites hypocrites everyone was slagging him off last season yeah they were but i think you get a very different answer if it was don't buy a striker and stick with rasmus i think it would be the other way around what we're talking about here is um a supplementary striker someone to share the burden you know someone who comes on for the last 25 minutes someone who actually gets proper career development he said himself he's only 22 and look sesco's only 22 but sesco's had a very different career path solzburg leipzig champions league football regularly rasmus got thrown in after one year up front for manchester united i still think he's a lot of development to his game and that's why i think a year as a supplementary striker would be good and then maybe you're cashing in on him next year when he's run his contract down by a year and you can afford to take 40 million which is a profit but he's actually proved himself as a as a very good striker he's ready to step up and play first team football that's what i would do and also massively selfishly it helps us out having more options so yeah that's that's what i would look at be looking to do definitely a moment i've done that one from guraf thank you very much um when do you think sesco will get done well as i said before there are complexities to this deal sesco isn't going to do what imbumo did by the sounds of it because he's loyal to leipzig so he's basically saying you've got to do a deal with leipzig and then i'll come to you newcastle are saying we're going to pay the money you want so it's difficult for united you've got a player that's not pushing for you and then you've got Leipzig saying you've got to pay what Newcastle pay so it could take a bit of time I think we'll get it done but we haven't got any leverage having said that it might be a good thing because when we think we've got leverage we don't look at look at Brentford and Bumo wanted to come we offered 45 they demanded 65 seven weeks later they got 65 so in a way this might work out quite well because when United I think that they can negotiate.

27:21It tends to take bloody ages. This might be really good for us. If Sesco says, I'm not going to push for the move, you've got to do a deal with Leipzig and then I'll come. And if Leipzig say, well, Newcastle are paying this and that's what we want, you might either pay it or they don't. It might speed the deal up, actually, in a funny way. We'll pay top dollar, but it might speed the deal up. What about Watkins? I think Ben Jacobs said it yesterday, didn't he? that we did well look this time last week we well this time it was a thursday so just over a week ago he was the priority we spoke to villa they wanted silly money and i presume that's when we sort of went no you know um chris wheeler says that lissandro martinez joshua xerxi and andre andana are all back in like training with manchester united uh obviously martinez won't be back till after the international break i'd say with anana and with um zerksey there is still a high chance that they will be back for pre-season for the arsenal game but with no pre-season i mean it's less of an issue with anana because he is what he is you know whether he's just come back from injury or not he's still going to play volleyball but with zerksey not having a pre-season i think for an outfield player is is quite significant to be honest with you.

28:43Also from Chris Wheeler, if United, and I've already, get me back now. I've already got my gloves ready. High five, ready to go. If United sign a new goalkeeper, it seems very unlikely that Inanna would stay as a number two. He would want to be first choice at another club. And this is why we should have signed another goalkeeper. Because he is, i i don't understand why we haven't done it because well finances that's why we asked bloody villa to loan martinez i mean bloody hell um it'll be finances because if you're andre andana and your man united's number goalkeeper number one goalkeeper and everyone knows that they don't want you and the manager doesn't want you and the club don't want you and the club are basically saying can you leave so we can replace you and you figure out oh they can only replace me if i go they need me to go to get a replacement what happens if i don't go then um well we're not going to tell you it's a surprise and you figure it out because you're not stupid if i don't go i'm number one so effectively understandably an honor is sat there going i'm number one they want me to go but i'm number one because they can't replace me while i'm here so effectively the only way to get rid of him is to replace him before he goes it's like this policy of sell to buy like we did with agate we're not buying agate until we've sold mctominy and then agate doesn't get a pre-season we're not buying the lit and masraoui until we sell wambasaka so So Wan-Bissaka's on pre-season, could have got injured and ruined the whole deal.

30:31And also De Litton, Masraoui don't get a pre-season. I mean, you know what? There are so many mistakes in Man United's last decade of transfers. But have you ever actually thought about that? We are not actually very risk-averse. Sorry, we're not actually very safe in what we do. Aaron Wan-Bissaka was playing on the US tour last year. If he'd have torn his hamstring, we wouldn't have De Litt and Masraoui. There's no safety structure in there. There's no health and safety. That was literally a player playing in pre-season for us that we needed to sell to get Masraoui and De Litt. If he'd have got injured, that would have been gone.

31:13It's scary to think that, isn't it? So this sell-to-buy policy doesn't work. And we really should be more risk-averse where you go, Chelsea do it. other clubs do it you basically buy the goalkeeper and then an honor leaves anyway but when we're too we're too in business like or with your pension you know you know if you do pension or savings you can put your you can put your money into high risk high reward accounts or you can put it into low risk low rewards accounts and you know it is very low risk You know, they want secured returns. And that's why we won't speculate to accumulate. We need the money first.

31:58And look, I absolutely agree with that. If we bring a goalkeeper in, Anana will leave. But how can you be successful as a football club when you're operating on an Excel spreadsheet? Like, we're making financial decisions, not football decisions. And Amarin wants a new goalie. Wilcox wants a new goalie. You want a new goalkeeper. But Inanna has the power. Even when he's injured, he's still our goalkeeper. I mean, look on the tour. He's incredible, actually. You know I'm taking this off. You know, it is terrible, really. Inanna has missed preseason. We haven't bought a goalkeeper. And we put Tom Heaton in goal and Beinder in goal, neither of which are better than Inanna.

32:44So he sat there injured going, ha they haven't even bought a replacement now i'm injured and i'm still playing against arsenal so we haven't done enough around a priority position as far as i'm concerned um but you're damn right if we do if we did bring a goalkeeper in he probably would leave um it depends on what who the goalkeeper is i suppose but um yeah 100 i think that that makes absolute sense to do it but But we, I mean, Lemans is about the only goalkeeper we're likely to get unless this shock, huge shock happens around something who's definitively first team. Thanks for everyone who's tuning in this morning, by the way.

33:26Please do share the video and smash a like. I'm just going to catch up on your comments. Check your finance claim. Why am I getting served? Those ads. Shut up. um okay here we go um mark on a side note i just watched a reaction video of bezik test getting eliminated the parallels of the ollie criticisms are scary he really hurt united says in depth in the us want 63 of shares apparently says f boogie i've not heard that at all i don't know

34:09that in a big game under ollie van haal marino ten hog and you know you'd find very different conversations to the ones that we're having now i think that we've we've never really had we've never really solved key problems i mean you've just got to get an 11 especially a spine Your goalkeeper, your centre-backs, your midfielders, your tens and your strikers have got to be, you've got to have the players that you want. You can't have weaknesses there. Do you think Anthony would be a solid ten for us or would we use him as a right wing back because the players seem really set on him staying? Says LA Red Devil.

34:44I don't understand this at all. I do not understand this at all. I'm glad somebody brought it up. Are they disappearing? Yeah, I saw that comment yesterday that Embermo and Cunha would really think Anthony would be good in the team. I think it was Emberma. It was definitely Emberma and somebody else. It might have been Cunha. I think it was Cunha. You know what I thought? I like Emberma and Cunha, but you know those things on your feet? Those boots? That's what I bloody pay you for, not what's going on between here. You see Jason Wilcox, director of football. You play football. I don't need your opinion on fucking Anthony.

35:27you're here because I'm getting rid of Anthony shut up and do your job I'm not I'm not interested in their opinions on players that need to leave this football club basically and people might say that's a bit harsh but the problems we've had over the last decade is because we've listened to players Jose Mourinho got sacked because Ed Woodward listened to players so player power can get in the bloody bin whether it's new players or old players I'm not interested in what they've got to say look Kunya and Mbemo are very welcome and I think they're very exciting but I would not be happy being associated with that type of a comment when you've not kicked a ball for the club because we as fans have suffered enough over the last 10 years to know who needs to stay and who needs to go and Anthony giving a chance at number 10 makes absolutely no sense at all all right wing back makes absolutely no sense at all when we've just spent 127 million pounds on Kunya and Mbumo why the bloody hell would you give Anthony another chance no absolutely not he needs to move on what happens if Chelsea I mean look he is the best of the crew um he's the one I've got the least problem with but he still needs to go especially if he wants to play for Brazil in the World Cup uh what happens if Chelsea signs Simmons first this becomes more difficult says Dave the Brave what what becomes more difficult I don't know I don't know what you mean what what becomes more difficult they're still going to go for Canacho anyway they're just going to try and get him on the cheap any truth on players wanting Anthony to stay I've just spoken about that SRC is a Mbemo ready for the Everton game says Mikkel I think well we play Everton on Sunday night UK time 10 p.m so I think we will see Mbemo in that game um I'm sure we'll see Mbemo in that game so look if if Jocares can play 25 minutes uh with four days training and he was on the beach last week and Burmo definitely could have played against Bournemouth I understand why not you know let's be sure we don't want to get injuries but he he he he's got to play you can't take him you can't take your latest signing on tour and not use him at all it would be a piss take to all the American fans as well he will play you'll play you'll play you'll play he might only play half an hour but he'll play I don't know whether he'll start I don't get half an hour um look as i said we don't know how amarin manages this team how many times did ten hard get a new signing and then stick them on the bench casemiro had him on the bench for the first few games and was picking mctomini agate had him on the bench so maybe amarin won't start um and then i don't know i hope he bloody will after based on last season he's getting bloody better you're bloody bloody bloody bloody better garish says uh done that one from garish thank you very much appreciate that the biggest issue is players like the goalkeeper having too much say it's ridiculous they can choose to stay even when they clearly don't have a future here still got power yeah morning mate what's your top 10 prediction and three to go down yeah yeah jack i'm not about to give you my that's football premier league prediction video which does about half a million views towards the end of the United stand video I might be tired but I am bloody stupid so good try Jack but I'm not about to do that honest league predictions also can you call my mate Dana Pratt honest my mark honest league position predictions for United they're all at it Sussex player development um look I think with regards to United I will answer that with united i would say we are going to pitch at the moment now look remember for all those people who get stonkons because we're linked to sesco or a goalkeeper are they holding up a man united shirt yet no so when you're talking about a transfer window and when you're ranking it out of 10 and when you're predicting where man united are going to finish next season you can only deal in who is officially a man united player so when we're talking about this transfer window let me remind you we have bought cunyre and imbermo and we have loaned marcus rashford that is a four or five out of ten transfer window it there's so much more that needs to be done so taking that into my prediction of where man united will finish i would say that you have to be honest with yourself and you have to say that

40:07we're pitching somewhere between 6th and 10th at the moment right now. 5th is possible but not just with Kunya and Mbemo. So based on what we've officially done and I know Sesco could happen but it hasn't happened so I'm not putting us into 5th. I would say we're pitching somewhere between 6th and 10th at the moment um but that's that's my personal point on it um if we get a good goalkeeper in and we get sesco in we can i believe fight for fifth even without a midfielder but we haven't done that yet um trans and also i would i would also say that to me involves keeping rasmus as well i think if you sell rasmus and you bring sesco in and then sesco gets injured you can't get fifth and people need to start thinking about this because it's a long season you don't you can't predict top four on one signing in in august if we sign sesco and we don't sign a goalkeeper i don't fancy us for fit if we sign sesco and a goalkeeper but we sell rasmus i don't fancy us for fifth because it's a long season one injury to sesco and you're in trouble again um just on the midfielder we have been linked to douglas luis but it's looking very much like he's going to end up at everton or nottingham forest um so i mean look does that not tell you that maybe we shouldn't be looking at douglas luis if he's looking at everton Time hasn't been kind on Ten Hag's reign, says Lee Galdart.

41:50I couldn't see it at the time, but the more you think about it, the more you see it probably took us backwards. Yeah, I think we're sort of moving towards that distance now. It's coming up for a year where, I mean, Ten Hag, Champions League football qualification in year one and the Carabao Cup, FA Cup and eighth in year two, and then the sack. It's a lot better than where we are at the moment. But for me, Man United should always be in the top four and occasionally picking up the FA Cup or the Carabao Cup. So look, Ten Hag did okay, but it was certainly trajecting lower. And I think that's why they got rid of him.

42:37Some of his decisions were shocking. I mean, the De Gea one will never not be criminal. and um yeah but um

42:52it's horses for courses isn't it we've got to start looking forward can you congratulate my younger brother edwin he's 19 congratulations for being 19 edvin that's from lucas as well appreciate that gaz is a new member of the club thank you for getting your bad gene gaz um jacob says you talked about the need for a vocal striker last season who demands service sesco is a quiet player who isn't vocal on the pitch are you concerned yes and no um i think you have to be eyes wide open to the fact that there is a risk with sesco he's never played here before and he's young and he will need patience and when do you get patience at man united you don't but the flip side is that he's not playing ahead of ganacho and rashford and anthony and bruno who don't pass um he's playing ahead of punya and hopefully embermo looks like dog who's getting further forward as well bruno will be playing deeper so may look for more you know different sort of passes to a forward as well so the supply line is going to be very difficult which goes back to my point before why does Rasmus not deserve a go with a team that actually is creative well we presume is going to be creative so yeah look last season you needed somebody to bollock people like Ganacho and Ahmad and anybody else that wasn't passing I think this season we've got more experienced Premier League players who get assists like Mbumo gets assists, Kunya gets assists.

44:28It's part of their game. They want to get assists. So hopefully that means that you don't necessarily need that type of a shouty striker. Are we still linked together? Says Kenny. I don't think we ever have been properly. I know some people have linked us to him, but I don't think we have been. I don't think we're going again i mean again look somebody messaged me last night about believer and they said are you going to do a video on believer i said well i may as well do a video on kimmich i may as well do a video on adam wharton i may as well do a video on margot robbie like we're not getting them it's not it's not it's not going to happen um i personally don't like that i know some people do i personally don't see the point in clucking an irrelevant player out of thin air and saying they'd be good for man united i might as well say venetius jr would change things at man united because we're not in talks with believer it was just brought up by an ex-player who obviously wanted to sound hip we've all spoken about how good believer is believe is fantastic he'd be a brilliant brilliant signing but we're not factually in for him we're not in for him at all and we certainly don't have the money for him we're about to spend 70 million pounds on sesco and people are talking about another 90 going on Belieber it's just not going to happen so look respect to those who want to talk about it but I want to talk about realistic things it's August the 1st there's four weeks left in the window we need a striker and a goalkeeper that's going to take up all our time and I think that's really important as well when you're talking about midfielders there's four weeks left in the window we need a striker a goalkeeper and we need to sell Ganacho Anthony and Sancho.

46:13That's five deals in four weeks. You could say it would take United can't do five deals in four months. So I know what's going to happen this month. And unless something strange happens, we'll do really well to get a goalkeeper and a striker before the window closes, because we're slow. I'll win. Do you think we should have activated the Dumfries 25 release clause? Personally, I feel like he would have been perfect. Landon, I saw that the release clause for but Dumfries has expired now because it's August. I would have done it, but financially, we clearly can't do it. Or we didn't want to do it.

46:50One of the two. I don't know. Okay. Thank you, everybody, for watching. Make sure you smash a like in the video and do subscribe. We're back at 2 o 'clock, 8 o 'clock as well.
