Rumor: It just does not stop... - The Summer transfer thread

Real reportedly don't want to let him leave, but he does have a €50mil release clause. That really would not be a bad deal for him at all, would be great if we could make it happen. At that price, there surely will be lots of interest in him...

There are also loose rumors linking Barca with a move for Mata. With the attempt to get Griezmann having fallen through, he is seen as an option for them (especially as a direct replacement, numbers wise for Iniesta).
Mata always said how happy he is a United and how much he wants to stay, but the situation could change with a club like Barca calling, coupled with the fact that he could be struggling for playing time if we bring in a new RW/RWF for this coming season.

You wouldn't necessarily be saying that if you saw his play for Valencia this season. Guedes is not having the best of WCs so far granted, but he's definitely a quality player nonetheless.
He's still just 21 (having become a regular with club and country just this past season). And in a market where viable right sided options are at a premium, there's no question he's one of the better ones available. His ceiling is ridiculous (elite level potential).

 

Long discussions may imply they talked about a lot of different players and topics. We should be so lucky if Fekir was mentioned. I'm betting that Ndombele has been extensively mentioned.
Secretly hoping that Jose said something to the effect of: "Since Rafa is no longer your starting RB, how about a straight swap for Valencia or Darmian? Heck, I'll give you both if you want."
And then of course, it might have concluded with: "How much for Memphis?", thinking he let him go way too soon... But not before some type of agreement, where United agrees to regularly sent out on loan some of our brightest talent in order to gain valuable experience at high level, might have been struck between both clubs...
Those would have been interesting and productive talks between both men.

 

If Lozano could play on the right just as he can on the left, he'd be an ideal player for Mourinho, with the work he puts in at the back, as well as going forward.

 

That's very interesting. He's shown so far that he looks like the genuine article and any club lucky enough to get his services after the WC will get one heck of a player in their hands.
United knows perfectly well who he is also, having had discussions with Pachuca about him a few years back. He'd be a dream for us, considering our need for a RW.

 

Truth is, we don't fully know yet what we have in McTominay or what he will become. One of his best attributes (so far as having Jose as a manager) is that he does what he's told and keeps it very basic, but the one drawback about this is that we're still yet to see what he is really capable of.
By many accounts he seems to be a capable scorer and is very good going forward, but we haven't seen that part of his game because Mourinho hasn't taken him off the leash yet. It's just as likely he can become a direct replacement to Pogba for instance, or develop into a different type of midfielder.
For now he's a solid squad guy in midfield, but if per chance we were to bring in another CM this summer, it's likely then that the best option for him might be to out on loan, so he can have a chance to play regularly, therefore really taking his game to the next level.
