Manchester United transfer news and rumors, focused on midfield priorities, the “no rush/pressure is off” narrative, and other targets (Bileba/Chiamini, Manu Kone, Alex Scott, Jed Spence, Danilo, left-back vs left-wing, and center-back/injury updates).
United are not truly “in no rush” to sign a third midfielder; the “pressure is off” messaging is PR/panic. He argues United will still sign another midfielder, possibly by early September, and that Mason Mount is not the solution. He says United are not in advanced talks with Bileba/Belaba and that Chiamini is effectively unlikely because Real Madrid has him under a new contract; any deal would require very high wages (north of £250k/week). He rejects Danilo as a bad fit and says United won’t sign a center-back this window.
De Ligt and Martinez unlikely for season start; left-back priority over left winger; Jed Spence is criticized as reactionary and not a natural left-footer.

1:06Hello, everybody. Welcome to the United Stands. I'm Art Goldbridge. This is your latest Manchester United transfer news. We've got lots to get into on the show this morning. If you were here for yesterday morning show, you'll know that we had some big topics and we went on for about an hour. And I've got a lot to talk about to you this morning. Some incredible, unbelievable, unforgivable comments coming out, apparently from Manchester United about their happiness with how the window is going, that they are in no rush to buy a third midfielder and that they feel the pressure is off because they've bought Tillemans and Santos, even that they might not even buy another third midfielder because Mason Mount can play in the midfield.
1:43We'll delve into the truth about that. We'll be talking about why Belaba's back on the menu. I have a very big theory on this and some of you are not going to like it and some of you will. Also, we'll be talking about this Chimini story which the Sun and Samuel Lockhurst have doubled down on overnight that talks have taken place we had Ben Jacobs on yesterday saying that Man United have not spoken to Chiamini's agent or Real Madrid in weeks Fabrizio Romano says the new contract is signed what are the Sun and Lockhurst on we'll delve into that as well also we're going to be talking about the centre back situation another injury blow for Manchester United we'll give you the latest on that are we going for a left back or a left winger.
2:20Also Danilo. I say no to Danilo. That would be incredible. And also what's going on with Kone. I suppose we can talk about that, but lots to get into on the show and we'll be driven by you as well. Hopefully the stream looks okay. Hopefully the audio is okay. Hopefully all of you are okay. Lots to get into. Right. I want to start off straight away. Let's sort of dispel a few myths as well. So look, Ty Marshall, Manchester Evening News, can only talk about what he's being given. But he has said that there is no rush now for Manchester United having signed Santos and Tillemans. The pressure is off.
2:57There is a sense that the pressure is off at Manchester United and there's no rush to sign a third midfielder with the signings of Tillemans and Santos. Look, let's get real. I think if you're Crystal Palace or you're Everton, you're down on that poolside, you're sipping on a sangria and you're going, life ain't bad. We've got Tillemans in the midfield from Villa. We've got Santos off the bench from Chelsea. We're probably not in a horrific situation, are we? But we're Manchester United. Tillemans was not, whether we like it or not, in our top four candidates to sign as the marquee midfielder.
3:31And Santos was not in the top four to sign as our second midfielder or our third midfielder. So I think that ultimately it's deceptive for Manchester United to put it out there that we're in no rush. It's deceptive for Manchester United to be in a situation where they're saying the pressure is off. I don't like it. Mark's looking like an FBI agent. I like that, Sanil. I don't like it. And maybe the FBI do need to investigate Manchester United. On a serious note, I don't think the pressure is off. You know what annoys me? And I did say this a few weeks ago. If I was running Manchester United or you were running Manchester United, the pressure would never be off.
4:15it would never be off. The pressure would always be on. Like every morning I walk in, speak to Beth at United Stand, speak to the producers. I'm on it. You know, I'm on it. And Noah says the new kit's nice. Exactly. But yeah, look, I think that the cold harsh reality is, I'm not saying Ty Marshall should be sacked at the Manchester United News. I think he's actually a good lad. But ultimately writing that article, you'd have to be a moron to make it up. so effectively you're being fed that information that united are in no rush and they feel the pressure's off that terrifies me on two levels it's unbelievable on two levels i will talk about blaber next it's unbelievable and there's a shark behind you i tell you what it's rough enough it's rough enough out there i've just seen phil and grant swimming by there could be a shark in there but um i think that ultimately it has to be called out because why are stories coming out about man United being in in no rush why are Man United putting stories out about the pressure being off I think this you know either they're trying to buy time and they're panicking or they genuinely are into aren't in a rush and they feel the pressure's off either way these are not the representatives of Manchester United that we need to get back to the top uh Hamza says LaCroix to Chelsea here we go what the fuck are we doing well I don't think we should be in look for LaCroix but I do think it's a good signing for Chelsea but they have spent nearly 150 million quid already Chelsea um so yeah I think it's um it's you know incredible really how United would be comfortable with this position but look before I move on to something else I just wanted I wanted to call this out at the start how can a football club like Manchester United be comfortable with the situation that they're in when they didn't get their plan A B or C or D signing in the midfield in either position, they don't have the third midfielder yet, and they feel the pressure's off.
6:11If I'm Sir Jim Radcliffe, or I'm Joel Glazer, or I'm Omar Barada, the pressure's never off. The pressure is never off. We're Manchester United, the pressure is always on. If we draw 1-1 at home to Everton, the pressure's on with Carrick. It will be. So if we don't get our number one targets, or our number two targets, or our number three targets, or our number four targets, and we don't get the third midfielder, and we're not buying a winger, and we're not behind the left back why is that not the same as Michael Carrick drawing at home to Everton so I tell you what if Carrick draws at home to Everton next season the pressure will be on you know how it works so why is the pressure not on our board why is the pressure off when you're delivering people like Santos and Tillemans and you're not getting a third midfielder and this is what annoys me because Carrick will get it every bloody week twice a week next season and these lot will disappear into the background but they're actually the architects of the potential failure by not doing what needs to be done, especially when you see what Chelsea are doing and what Spurs are doing, etc.
7:05So the pressure should never be off at Manchester United. I think it's another, it's as ridiculous as the story we had yesterday about United being happy to pull magic out of the hat, you know, pull a rabbit out of the hat. You know, the pressure's off. It's like a Saturday night TV lineup, isn't it? The pressure's off, we're in no rush, and at eight o 'clock, pull a rabbit out of the hat. We're moving down the Saturday TV listings as PR statements, really. So yeah, not happy about that. The pressure should never be off and we do need to do a lot of stuff. However, it won't be all negative this morning.
7:42I'm not bullying Everton. I think Everton had a very good season last season. I think Everton have their financial limitations. They've just built a new stadium. And I think Everton haven't won a league title for 40 years. So I think Man United should have higher aspirations than Everton or Crystal Palace, in my opinion. A couple of things I do want to talk to you about this morning. Well, look, I got sent it, so I'll just talk about it. Apparently, Simon Stone has said Man United might not buy a third midfielder. There's some guy who works for Sky, who does interviews for Sky, for Man United, who has got no background and being credible around transfers.
8:16Let's call it out for what it is. He's been on another channel, and he said that United have spoken to Balaba recently or his representatives recently and that Man United might not buy another midfielder. I'm telling you now, Man United are buying another midfielder. I could easily, you know, get up and start going, wow, God, we're not buying another midfielder. I could listen to the story. Maybe Simon Spohn said it, maybe he didn't. Certainly this guy from Sky, who actually in his own bio says, my opinions are my own, not Sky Sports. So straight away, just because someone works for Sky, look at the bio.
8:47It doesn't say that. so um someone says can you do a weather report where we are is absolutely lovely right i'll tell you where it is when i get back unless someone can guess it right you got you got wind off the off the sea it does look cloudy that way it's blue skies that sky that way as you can see the sun shining down on the pool there so it's a sun trap with a nice breeze it's been lovely weather this week so yeah Skegness is brilliant this time of year um but yeah let me go back to what I was saying there um we're not in talks with Belaber we're simply not you know we've had really good information around uh Cimini uh Kone uh Scott um Belaber it's funny with Belaber right I saw something this morning about he's been looking at Man United stories on his Instagram the guy is desperate to sign for Manchester United.
9:43I actually have a theory that all the noise about the Labour is coming from the Labour. I actually think the Labour is telling journalists that Man United have spoken to him or his representatives has. I think there is nothing going on with the Labour, as per my information. So people can say we've spoken to his representatives. That's not what's coming out from who we're really talking to. Now, Man United have been very tight-lit. I mean, I saw a brilliant tweet. I think it was Frank Dierer yesterday saying, today we've been linked to Kone, Bileba, Danilo, Kamavinga, Ciumini, Berg and somebody else, which shows you that Man United are not putting out what they're doing.
10:24So you have to go and get your information from other places. I know we've spoken to Kone. I know we haven't spoken to Ciumini. And I know that Alex Scott is a player United would like to bid for, but they haven't. But we're not in advanced talks with Balaba. We're not in talks with Balaba. But it's a story that won't go away. And I feel sorry for these journalists who are sitting there talking about Man United talking to Chiumini or Balaba. Because it's a little bit like Peter and Paul. Fly away, Balaba. Fly away, Chiumini. They're not, come back, Balaba. Come back, Chiumini. If anyone knows, fly away Peter, fly away Paul.
11:04They're just stories that keep coming back and forth. But then they're never going to land. they're never going to land. And we're not in talks with Labour. He's down the list. There are other players ahead of him. And I do feel sorry for the people that want the Labour because I feel like the only place this can be coming from is his representatives. And remember the five strands of a transfer. One, total bullshit. Two, totally true. Three, Three, agent driving it to get a move somewhere. Four, agent driving it to get a contract where they are. Five, the selling club using United to get more interest in the player.
11:47So we're not looking at the labour at the moment, but I certainly think it's being driven by people around him. And I think he's desperate to come to Man United. But you know my message to the labour is, if you were so desperate to sign for Man United, maybe you should have got off your arse last season and played for nine months, like you did the previous nine months. Because, mate, you blew it. You blew it. If you'd have had a good season last season, we'd probably all be saying, go and get him. Instead, we've got a cult saying, go and get him. But Man United aren't looking at him. He's way too expensive anyway.
12:16And also, his bad season has knocked him down the list. So there's nothing advancing with Valeva. We can kill that story off. In relation to Man United not signing a third midfielder, as much as I would love to be losing my crap about that, and I'm not going to, I'd rather lose my crap about United being in no rush and feeling no pressure having signed Santos and Tillemans we will sign a third midfielder and I left the pause there because that is a perfect little mean if we don't sign a third midfielder by early September but we will sign a new midfielder and I sort of covered it on the preview last night that I'd heard about it I've seen where it's come from today um and yeah we will sign another midfielder man united are not going to put up with mason mount he's too injury prone and he's not very good they will sign another midfielder and i can leave it there you can get angry but to be honest with you i actually think again i have a good theory on this i think united are playing their old games say we're not going to buy a midfielder and then when you buy one whoever it is people get appreciative so a little bit like at Christmas isn't it you're not getting any chocolate you're not getting any chocolate and then you wake up on Christmas Day morning and you get some chocolate a nice Mars selection box and you're grateful even though it might not be the best selection box so I do think 100 % we'll sign another midfielder I just think United haven't got a bloody clue what they're doing at the moment and it's probably not going to happen anytime soon so they're almost setting you up to be angry to then be grateful for whatever you get.
13:56So essentially, we're not getting a midfielder. We're not getting a midfielder. We're not getting a midfielder. Oh my God, this is a joke. And then we sign Sanderberg and you go, oh, it's better than nothing. So it could be that that happens, but we will sign another midfielder. John Hutch says, why can't we sell Mark? Send them all to La Liga, League One. Mate, I actually saw something this morning. I wasn't going to bring it into the show. Paul says, I'm in Parmanova. Come watch the match with me. I'm not in Majorca, mate. I'd love to. I'm not in Mallorca. I'm not even on the island, which is Mallorca.
14:28I saw an article today. I don't know where it was from. It was about United hoping to raise£90 million by selling Rashford, Xerxes and somebody else. Right, I ain't got nothing to sell and I've got more chance of raising£90 million than Man United have. they're not going to raise 90 million pounds um they're not going to sell marcus rashford for money because his wage is too high they will not sell xerxi for any more than 30 million so how the hell i mean man united i mean there's a question for you how would if you needed to raise 100 million pounds tomorrow how do you do it at man united without selling bruno Over time, moss, mold, and mildew stains cover your home, and cleaning them is too much work.
15:20You need Wet and Forget, the easy, bleach-free way to clean tough outdoor stains. For decks, patios, and cushions, use Wet and Forget outdoor spaces. No scrubbing, no rinsing.

You've got to ring around all the clubs and say, look, do you want this player at this price? I mean, I'm literally saying you'd probably ring around and take a hit on Kunya, Sesko, Mbuemo, Yarrow, Menuh. You can't sell players you've just bought. so yeah I mean to raise 100 million pounds Man United would need to sell their best players at cut price whereas I look at a team like Liverpool or Man City or Arsenal I think they could raise 100 million pounds tomorrow by selling bench players if we needed to raise 100 million pounds tomorrow and this is a very important point this is the state of Man United Football Club right you need to raise 100 million pounds by tomorrow we would have to sell first team players at cut price we just don't have sellable assets and it's amazing and it's been like that for a very very long time so you know how that works i don't know um please do share the video by the way let's see if we can get close to 10 000 watching smash a like on the video if you like the glorious background uh loving that um so we've spoken to you about belabor we've spoken about the uh no rush apparently man united are in no rush to sign a third midfielder they are feeling no pressure and they feel the pressure is off having signed Santos and Tillemans.
17:35Lovely stuff. Don't forget there is a watch-along today as well. I will be doing a match reaction to that, but we have got the watch-along for you from the studio because I'll be watching along poolside down there. I'll be down there literally with a big glass of beer watching it and then I'll match reaction afterwards. Just a little bit of injury news before I carry on with some transfer news. Dilit not back for the start of the season. which means him and Martinez are very unlikely to be ready for the start of the season. You know what worries me? I reckon I could play centre-back for the first four games of the season and we'd win, apart from the City game.
18:13I mean, Maguire, Luke Shaw, Deleuze, they're going to look like prime Costa-Curta, Maldini, Borezi, because the games are really easy. so I do I do think we're going to win I do what I worry about this season is that it's it's very very very winnable and I think that it becomes very interesting if if we win those games do we get fooled into everything's okay. I think we've got such an easy start to the season. I mean, you've got two newly promoted teams in the first two games. We're not really playing anybody apart from Man City. And I think we could be kidded by the start to the season because it's a marathon, not a sprint, isn't it?
19:12But look, we won't have De Ligt. He is recovering well, but he won't be ready for the start of the season. And Martinez were waiting for the assessment of his injury, but he should be back soon. so that's the update on De Ligt let me just have a quick look here would you consider United title contenders this season says Rub I'd put it like this do you think that Ian Beale from EastEnders is going to win an Oscar this year and if the answer is yes then please do seek help what do you think about the Chiamini story Mark and Samuel Luchus doubling down on it look it's strange it's really strange I would never be so stubborn to not analyse and research a ridiculous statement that the journalist then doubles down on.
20:08And he basically, I can't see it because he's got me blocked. Because, yeah, yeah, I've spoken to him a few times, but not in a good way. doesn't seem to have much of a sense of humour, so that's never going to work that well with me, is it? But, you know, he's obviously downgraded from the Manchester Evening News to the Sun and is desperate for credibility because that's what it's all about. So, you know me, I'll always be fair. If I see somebody get something right, I'll always say, might be a bit of a knobhead, but they got it right. This would be a huge scoop if he got it. Now, the only thing I can think of is, in press conferences amazingly it's probably the biggest flaw in Mourinho's whole aura because I do like Mourinho he seems to like Luckhurst has Mourinho rang up Luckhurst and said here is the biggest scoop you'll ever get of your career we are trying to sell Chiamini because that's the only thing that makes any sense um house of zoom I'll talk about Sesco's muscle in a moment um muscles.
21:11So look, in the sun, Samuel Luckhurst is still doubling down that Man United are talking to Chumini or could still sign Chumini. I think the devil's in the detail, isn't it? I think the devil is in the detail. Man United could sign Enzo Fernandes. And then on September 1st, when we don't sign him, I'll say, well, look, there were talks, there There were exploratory talks. Their deal couldn't be done. But United really liked him. A lot of people do that. They've got jobs. They've got bills to pay. It's a competitive environment. How many journalists are there around Man United? Fortunately, I'm not in a world where that bothers me.
21:56But if you wake up on a Monday morning and you're a journalist for Manchester United working for a major organisation who pays your bills, Do you put a story out saying nothing? Or do you put a story out saying Man United might sign Chiamini? And there's your answer. You know, you're intelligent people. Like, does a journalist put a story out that's not going to happen, but sounds like it could? Or does a journalist not put that story out? Well, it's generated a lot of conversation on a quiet week, hasn't it? But look, he is basically saying, David Williams says, is it true that we're considering a move for Jed Spence?
22:39We will come on to that, David. Thanks very much for your super chat. Josh says Jed Spence would be a decent addition. Look, in relation to Chiumini, Ben Jacobs' words yesterday were that there's no contact with Chiumini for weeks. Romano's words, 48 hours ago, were that he signed his contract and it can't happen. two people journalists relatively credible credible however you want to call it I think credible mine think what you like considering we had the scoop on Chumini in March and had the scoop that the deal was off before anybody else
23:22what's my update on Chumini from the sources we've got that are very good he's happy at Real Madrid he signed his contract at Real Madrid. If, if Real Madrid said out of the blue, if the sale and Man United coughed up 70 million and were willing to give him the same wage, then a deal could happen. And if you read the detail, that's exactly what Samuel Lucker said. A deal could happen for Cermini, but he would want north of 250 grand a week. so we're not in talks with you amini a deal is now very unlikely whereas a month ago it was possible it's very unlikely but it's generated a bit of a story in a week where it's been a bit quiet that's my thoughts on that what i would say before we talk about the left back the danilo story i mean come on i know beth spoke about it last night but i've not spoke about danilo yet get the fuck out I mean come on Danilo I mean we literally are Forest, Everton or Palace aren't we Danilo Danilo no I don't somebody just said Chumini's not officially signed his contract look at what Romano said mate in relation to the Danilo story, all I would say about this, and look, I'm not disagreeing with Rub, he says Ciumini is overrated, mate, personal opinion.
24:59I am disagreeing with you on that. Right, Danilo was at Forest, I wasn't massively impressed. He's gone back to Brazil, he's been pretty good. He had a little bit of a cameo in the World Cup, he was okay in a crap Brazil side. Danilo to me would be worse than Edison and Edison, Santos and Tillemans is not the balanced midfield United need I mean look you've got to look at the balance now we already know Tillemans we already know Santos if you think Danilo, Santos and Tillemans is a good Man United three well I think we've got a problem
25:42I think we've got a problem Are this where I'm getting bit?
25:51I think I've been bit again. Should have put some spray on. I've got another one as well. I reckon this is where I'm getting bit up here. Right. I need to put some spray on. I'll be back in a minute.
26:23I'm back.
26:31Should be sponsored by this. See how you deal with this.
26:41Bloody hell, it's killing me.
26:55oh that is bad
27:00what a way to go what a way to go
27:08right
27:12let it settle we've got nearly 9 ,000 people watching thank you very much yeah look in relation to Danilo it's Wilcox sending his bug box
27:27yes in relation to Danilo United won't do this deal we won't do this deal this stinks of not mosquito spray this stinks of united using being used by somebody who wants to move back to the premier league i see danilo at palace i see danilo at everton i don't see danilo at man united um it's a massively frustrating story which will frustrate our fans um but yeah i mean look no offense to danilo but you cannot have Santos and Danilo, you know, bench players for Brazil. But it's not even about the Brazilian passport. It's not the level of player that we need to bring in. Look, just on that, by the way, we will sign a third midfielder.
28:19Don't listen to... Look, in fairness, the guy doesn't even really represent Sky Sports in relation to transfers. And when does Sky Sports do well on transfers? We're talking a decade ago. we will sign a third midfielder it's scaremongering who that third midfielder will be the Madridista says Camavinga would be a good signing
28:42I think that if United signed anybody it would be Kone or Alex Scott I think that's what they want to do the only thing I would say is as a little bit of hope to people out there who seem to want Sanderberg or Balaba. If we have to move down the list, then at some point you might land on somebody down the list. But I think it's Kone or it's Scott. I think that's what United want to do.
29:13But we've gone down the list for Tillemans. We've gone down the list for Santos. What do you think about Scott wanting Chelsea? Mark. Well, I don't think it's said that he wants Chelsea. I think he said that he was open to Chelsea. I mean, apparently he's a Spurs fan. His half-sister plays for Manchester United. So, there's a lovely boat in the background. I don't know whether you can see it. What about signing Goretzka with the experience? Says, I like mums. Can you see the boat? Where is the boat? You should be able to. Can you see the boat? Yeah. it's there yeah yeah I think look if I'm Alex Scott I'm open to Chelsea if I'm Alex Scott I'm open to Man United you know I'm open to a lot of things Anthony Tracy says United talking up Santas already unfair to him well look I think in the watch along today I've already done the preview but I'm hoping we're going to see JJ I mean take a bet who's taking bets on how little time Carrick gives to JJ I mean he gave no minutes to Thwaites he gave no minutes to Obi so it'd be interesting to see how many minutes he does give to to to um JJ I'm hoping at least half an hour but I guess we'll just have to wait and see um but you could say that our hopes of signing a decent in the field are a bit like that boat moving further and further away.
30:53In fact, on that boat, if I look out there, yep, I can see Alex Scott going like that. Missed my super jets as L president. I haven't missed it. I'll go back to it. Is it JJ from the Sidemen? No. Not in the Sidemen anymore, is he? Or is that all a... Look, I think Ben Jacobs said it yesterday and there was a question about Jed Spence. would you take Jed Spence at left back? And the honest answer is don't be another one. It is. What? I don't even know when they do it. Little shits. So many bites on their leg. I think a lot of people talk about Jed Spence. I haven't heard anything about that. We do need to buy a left back.
31:44I think that you look at Truffaut, you look at Lewis Hall I think many United fans feel that they're the sort of left back United should be signing Jed Spence feels a little bit like Owen Hargreaves in the World Cup in 2006 where there's no doubt there's a good player there but is it a little bit reactionary off a few good games in the World Cup uh potentially so um Ben Jacobs said that we're more likely to go for a left back than a than a than a winger now and I don't know why that's acceptable by the way because let's just hold a thought for a minute if marcus rashford had been um staying at manchester united sorry marcus rashford had gone to barcelona we'd be signing a left winger so united i mean look maybe you're okay with it but man united saying that they're prioritizing a left back over a left winger this summer hold on a minute so we're literally not going to buy more than five players.

33:57Some of you want a center back. Some of you want a striker. Some of you want a right back as well. I don't think it was ever meant to be a left back or a left winger. And what we're in danger of doing is making do on a very big season. And many of you have said it before, how many times do you see United appear to spend quite well when there is no Europe and then be unambitious when we have it? And unambitious is a little bit like making do, isn't it? Are we going to see a summer of making do? Because I think Tillemans and Santos, whilst they could be good, they're not overly exciting, are they?
34:35my objection to Spence is that he will we will be funding a rival to get a better player again what like Chelsea as all I mean we've literally funded Chelsea haven't we hasn't Villa have really helped Chelsea out it's like a charity isn't it you had a crap year last year let us help you out we're in the Champions League um so look apparently we're going to go for a left back hopefully we'll sign a left back but um Spence one good game all season don't sign him says Chris look I said this yesterday in relation to Spence in in the knockout element of the World Cup very good in the group stage when he played at left back I thought he was shit and for Spurs last season um yeah it's um it's not been that great but I I wouldn't be going there I think that there are fullbacks who are natural left footers which Jed Spence isn't by the way um natural I think Jed Spence not being a natural left footer would become a problem for United fans very very quickly as well I think you go for Truffaut or Hall Spence was awful last season don't be stupid says Wes no one wanted Spence six weeks ago it's Truffaut or Hall I agree with you Damien on that I completely do uh other bits I want to talk about this morning shaky hands shaking hands I know I know what sometimes I have to take notes because I don't have anything other to read other than the screen here so um yeah just in relation to are we going to sign a centre-back no it's not really on the agenda at the moment I mean look LaCroix has just gone to Chelsea as some people are talking about in the chart in the chat 50 something million pounds I think the centre-back market is expensive and I don't think that United have um the finances out to um cover that off this um this window um also no one's going to to buy De Ligt.
36:32No one's going to buy Martinez, I don't think. So I think United will definitely operate. And you know what? I don't think this is an area to moan. We have got... I thought one was on me there. We have got Masraoui, who can play at centre-back. We've got Luke Shaw, who can play at centre-back. We've got Heaven. We've got Yoro. We've got Maguire. and we've got De Ligt and Martinez. So United won't be signing a centre-back this summer. I need to sign a bloody left-back and a backup striker and another midfielder first. With regards to the striker situation,
37:17a lot of people commenting on how Sesko has muscled up. Lewandowski's quite muscly. when you look at him in his younger days and then you look at him at Bayern and Barcelona. Maybe Sesco is looking at Lewandowski. I don't know. But ultimately, United seem to be a club that focuses on this. We've seen Rashford muscle up. We've seen Maynou muscle up. We've seen Sesco muscle up. We've seen a lot of players doing that and literally just had Naveen say thoughts on the amount of muscle Sesco has gained. look if he slows down because of the muscle that's a problem if he's if he's more physical and still quick I think it enhances his game and I think you know that's the grown-up conversation isn't it um is he is it is it something that's going to impact his game because it's going to slow him down or is it something that's going to make him stronger whilst retaining his speed so we'll have to see how that makes a difference United's fitness department seems to be very big on this pardon the pun big but um they seem to like players muscling up but i don't think our track record on fitness is is that good so is this a mistake we'll have to wait and see but for me you know sesco for his height is actually quick we don't want him losing any of that so look we'll just have to wait and see how that pans out but i don't think it's i know there's part there's far bigger fish in the sea so to speak to um to analyze yeah um but what i do think is sesco's injured at the moment and that injury he had at the end of last season he still has now and we're lucky in a way that the that the season ended when it did because as i said to you last week when you think about it with sesco he missed the last game or two of the season in mid-may we're now approaching August so if that had been January he'd have been out for the season on what was meant to be quite a minor injury so um yeah I think um you know my concern with Sesco is that we keep him fit and if the muscle is there to help him stay fitter maybe that's the theory behind it but I wouldn't want him to I wouldn't want him to lose any of his pace or anything like that if that makes sense um but look i i think the the backup striker situation i'm being told there's a boat about to come into screen from the left hand side keep an eye out for it could be a new signing for united um but look i think in relation to the backup striker it's probably very similar to the to the left back situation isn't it yes we need one but I've just seen it coming it looks like it's coming into Shaw I think it's Kone don't turn away keep coming in come on come on but yeah I think in relation to a backup striker I just don't know people and the people start talking about Danny Welbeck or Ivan Toni and I don't think that's viable for Manchester United, if I'm being honest, right now.
40:35It's just mocking us. I think it's Camavinga on his holidays, just sunning himself on the front of the boat, turning away, literally just turned away. Yeah, I'm not going there. I'm not going on the United stand. get me on the Real Madrid stand off it goes like another transfer are they Stevie Wonder sunglasses? I'm not really a sunglasses kind of guy but I thought well well I am a sunglasses not for streams I've seen this trend of people putting sunglasses on when we get a result I think it's a knobhead move oh look at me we've got a good result let me copy another hundred other YouTubers by wearing a pair of sunglasses and pretending I'm the first person to do it no I'm not doing that because we've had a good result I'm doing it because it's sunny that's what sunglasses were made for you're not bono you don't need to wear them inside i'm wearing them because it's very bright that's the only reason you're wet i won't be wearing these when we get a good result like every other bloody youtuber um
41:40anana is back at man united do not do not tell me that do not tell me that i don't want that to happen um right let me get into your comments
41:56filling up around the pool um why do i hate belieber i don't hate belieber and you've you've spelt hate with a hat why do i hat belieber he definitely means hate um or she um i don't hate belieber and i think we live in a world where if somebody has a different opinion to you they automatically hate them um but labor in my opinion is pushing the pr because he's desperate and i think desperate is a really bad trait um i think he's desperate and i think he's desperately trying to build a pr which some of you are falling for but ultimately tell me who was benched by james milner tell me who was getting subbed off after a minute after an hour most games he started he had probably five good games for Brighton in a 38 game season um when the world was looking at him so the blame lies with him he had a shit season mate and I think he's a huge risk at a huge price I think there's much better players and value in the market than him that's not hate it's true a year ago I'd probably been quite interested I've had a comment here from United Way he says feeling we will sign Stila it's gone very quiet and that's what Ineos doing signing players no one is talking about for fair price Vavell wants him United don't seem convinced by any players that we are linked to defensive enough and type Carrick would want thank you very much United Way look you're talking my language if you are talking about Stila I really do like the player heard absolutely nothing about him um nothing for about three months everything you've said is true in the sense that i think he'd be an interesting profile of signing i'd be very excited about it but just literally heard nothing about it urfan says do you think the amazon documentary is having any effect on already slow process i think urfan's just made a very very good comment because you reminded me of something i don't know if you've seen the ben jacobs and beth show from yesterday but there was a very interesting comment from ben jacobs in there where he said that united may not make signings now until the season starts which is a great point i put my hands up that's poor from me on a morning show to have not mentioned that um yeah and and and and unfortunately that's that that's quite worrying because we've done this time and time again amrabat anthony casemiro Agate, Cleese, Sessions, Everett.
44:38You know, it's a consistent theme where United are happy to sign players after a season has started. And yet we have a long list of players who sign for us after the season has started and fail. So I don't know why we're comfortable doing that. But it looks like that might be a possibility again. and I will say this, I'm dead against it. I'm dead against buying players that signed for us after the season started. Now, look, if you're buying a World Cup player, maybe that makes sense. And maybe that's why we're... Look, let me put it this way. Do you sign Manu Kone today, who's on holiday for two weeks?
45:21Or do you sign him in two weeks? You're literally giving him two weeks wages to sit on his arse. United hate doing that. So maybe that's a hint about Manu Kone. And I'm just thinking here, like there are players who have been at the World Cup who are on holiday for at least another week do you wait until they finish the holiday so you don't waste a hundred grand in wages I mean it sounds stupid but who has bought a player in the World Cup Morgan Rodgers Chelsea 116 million they don't mind paying his wages while he's on holiday that Man United might be that tight but look ultimately you want players in the club before the season starts even a world cup player will be in the week before so if we wait until the season starts i think that's a bit of a joke sunrisers army hope you're doing well says this window is a big gamble and boring we need umbermo kunya or sesco to score 50 plus goals combined to make it a decent season can they do it.
46:16Well, look, I don't massively want to talk Sunrise's army about next season, but Lucius has just done a super chat saying, can you predict next season? I'll give you this.
46:29Imagine if I started rowing into the sea. That would be great. I'm flying.
46:38One thing I think people aren't talking about about next season. You can talk about results. You can talk about transfers. You can talk about sales and all really valid points. What about injuries? Last season, we played one game a week. Sometimes we played one game every three weeks. What happens when we start playing two games a week? Logically, even if you think Man United's fitness department's good, and I don't, we're going to get a lot more injuries next season. Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw, Mason Mount. you know it can sesco there is a lot of players that could get injured next season just because of volume of games I don't think we've got a squad to deal with that that might be a very interesting outlier predictor for next season you know I can't predict where we're going to finish in the league at the moment because I don't know what the window is I can't predict what the transfers are going to be at the moment I can't predict who we're going to sell at the moment but I probably can predict that there is a high likelihood that we will have more injuries this season than last and if we do that will have a big impact on us so I'd be wary of injuries next season I think that's that's a problem certainly how much do you think the label would go for
48:0570 I'd be very surprised if Brighton let him go for less than 70 because realistically why would you sell him on the cheap from Brighton's point of view he had a crap season last year and you still want 70 if he has a good season this year you can probably push him back up to 90 again I mean if I was Brighton I'd be like it depends if Brighton want to sell I don't know whether they do but if they don't want to sell him and considering Milner has now retired they do need a midfielder anyway um if I was Brighton I'd be looking at is it Ayara or Ayala the Swedish guy I'd be looking at the Labour and I'd be going got£150 million worth of talent there Mateus Fernandes got relegated and went for£85 million if they have a good season then we could ask for the same so I think that if we were to buy the Labour this summer we'd be going right down the list that's starting at£70 million for a player that's not worth£50 based on the season he's had he's not even worth 50 um someone says grown men focusing on sesco having bigger muscles need to uh get out more yeah i i i i think it's one of them things you just can't predict in relation to sesco and uh muscles anyway look great show this morning thank you so much everybody for tuning in hopefully you've enjoyed it i'm gonna go and get a bit of sun probably gonna do a bit of a bit of work down the gym the only lifting i'm doing is one of these and it won't be trust me it won't be water uh that's the that's the only gym i'll tell you what i'll be telling that down the pub when i get back home down the local episode like they had a gym at the hotel you wouldn't believe it it was very busy the only lifting i did was the pint of uh strella tell you that and uh tell you what i probably did more lifting than them because it yeah that didn't look like it was lifting did it we have got watch along for the game today and we have got match reaction which I will do and I will be dropping another video later on this evening as well so lots to keep you covered enjoyed the morning shows thank you very much for tuning in as always and have a great day I will speak to you all later have a great day take care
