Sky have broke that news that Yousouff Fofana is being strongly considered as his move to Milan continues to stall. Seen as an alternative to Onana.
Erik ten Hag has reiterated his stance on midfielder Scott McTominay,
calling him an “important player” and says the club do not wish to
sell, amid interest from Fulham. United are expecting further offers for the Scottish international – Galatasaray also remain interested.
If a midfielder is to leave in this window, United have been working on
potential incomings. Dialogue remains open with PSG over Uruguay midfielder Manuel Ugarte, but initial talks have highlighted a gap in valuation.
Monaco’s Youssouf Fofana is another player the club are looking at, as well as discussions over making Sofyan Amrabat’s loan deal a
permanent one. They are unlikely to trigger the €20m option price they negotiated when Amrabat arrived last summer.
As it stands, Casemiro is likely to stay with interest from Saudi
cooling, but a departure later in the window cannot be ruled out.

I really really hope we find a way of bringing in Urgate. I like Fofana but trutheis he's not a 6. He's an 8
When Steve talks football, I listen !!
Sign him asap!
I’m hearing that they want 30 now
Great, just need Stormzy as manager and the squad is almost complete
Let's buy both. I'm literally a human tripod
6ft version of Fred from what I’ve seen
Fofana and ugarte as the 2 against a man city/arsenal (where you aren't seeing much of the ball). Either fofana or ugarte alongside mainoo against a team united can match throughout 90 mins (villa, Liverpool, spurs etc). Can pick and choose whoever against anybody else. Speculation and opinion based of course.
We need big boy like him in midfield, our guys are pretty small… he remids a bit of Yaya Toure, good pass and shot on him, for 15m its a steal
Super excited by our business so far this transfer window. But the thing that concerns me so far is our lack of talent on the wings.
If sancho goes to psg. And Antony goes on loan. I’m not sure Amad is enough. Who knows what rashford we get next season.
Need some young talented wingers in the mix too.
So a player who is better than Amrabat for less money?! We should be getting Fofana in asap and then continue with Ugarte negotiations
If the prices mentioned are legit, then we can get Zubimendi and Fofana for what PSG want for Ugarte.
At the price, he would be great in rotation with Mainoo. Allow us to ship off Erikson and McT
Did he play in the euros?
We need him and Ugarte
useless analysis he’s going play for AC Milan
When you were talking about if you don't know if the team is being worked on an 11 or squad depth. Has to be squad depth man the amount of games being that get played with the injury record we've had we need squad depth in all parts of the team
Fofana is not 15m Euro Monaco now want close to 30m euro
Walk away from PSG and ugarte. Seriously? We can't can't be mugged off like that. Get fofana and zubimendi or Amrabat
GGMU ❤
Mount was a complete waste of money, i still can't understand why we signed him.
"Bruno Gamarsh" 😂
Nice one Howson I think we might be getting the Mike Reed treatment 🇾🇪✌️🔰
Did ineos rob the crown jewels or what 😂
We need a scout report on Richard Rios 🙏 🇨🇴 Been seeing a couple links with him and wanna know your thoughts on him
Deligt and him
Pls tell me INEOS is signing Gaitin n Strootman 😅
What sane person wouldn’t swap McTominay for Fofana AND make a profit!?
If Eriksen and Casemiro go, we didnt secure Amrabat. This would be very smart business especially if we also bring in Ugarte. Can’t rely on Mount to stay fit as well.
This seems like a no for me….. if its the case that we get ugarte and sell casemeiro and mctominay, i can then see us making this signing..Right now we need a destroyer not another ball carrier
Can't see it happening with this list of midfielders
Maino
Scott
Eriksen
Casemiro
Mount
Bruno
Gona negotiate amraabat
Ugarte agreed terms
I'm happy with either Fofana, Zuimendi or Ugarte. Tho, I think Ugarte would be the best for us because he just gets about the pitch well. Has technical ability but compliments any #8 or #10
Someone at United's watching your channel, mate
No he’s not a number 6, we need a out and out number 6. If he’s part of the squad yes. We need first team players
Not happening according to Romano. We're concentrating on Ugarte and getting Amrabat re-signed for cheap.
Hasn't he already agreed terms with Milan??
Is anyone going to talk about Richard Rios links he is so good and we can get him for like 17 mill
A big strong aggressive DM like him could very well do a good job for the midfield. Definitely something the current midfielders are lacking.
And for the price.. definitely worth at least trying
Seems to be the tactic, if we'er being jerked around by a club for a player we move on to another target.
fofana and mainoo combination sounds exciting!
We should be goin for reijnders from Milan
You can't just fill your team with players that whack it forward but give it away 50 times a game. I can do that Sunday league level hoof it and hope they call it. You've gotta have some sort of ball retention else 20 shots against per game happens
Fofana was great at linking up with Mbappe……he created a lot for him by passing the ball through the channels
Reports suggest now that United and Athletico are sniffing around the fee has doubled to 30-35m. United need to be more ruthless getting rid of the likes of Scott, Wan Bissaka and Maguire. If you get 60-70m for them and get two 1st team starters then get it done.
Walk away from.clubs that want to fleece us
It’s weird watching these videos and then remembering we might actually sign these players rather than watch them go to Dortmund or Brighton
Fofana & Yoro were on my dream wish list at the start of summer. Giddy times, who even is this club?
