Picking The PERFECT Signings For Man Utd This Summer! 

Major brain fart with Jose Mourinho being Italian, lads 😅😂 I wanted to say Ancelotti. Not sure what happened there 😅 pls forgive me xx

Joao Palhinha feels like a classic Man United stop-gap signing though. A player nearing 30 that hasn't played at a club with the expectations of United, taking time to adapt then dropping off and needing replacement within a few seasons, never really justifying his fee It would better to go for someone younger and not as polished, and accepting that you won't be good enough to challenge for UCL for a year or two

This sounds mad but i honestly feel like any big signing (over 30 mil) who is over 27 is pointless, United are not going to compete for the next few years and would just need to be replaced and with less sell on value would kill them in ffp

One of those few United related channels which assesses the team calmly with proper critical thinking and no negativity. Cheers Joe 👍

Antonee Robinson as a left back shout! Talk about players who are up for a physical battle.

United SHOULD BE LOOKING INTO Ricardo Calafiori. He can play as a LB and a LCB and he has a great profile, good on the ball and the perfect height at 6’2

Great vid. Been a fan of yours since the early days of Stat wars on Euro Football Daily!

Can't believe nobody said him, but Fofana from Monaco is available for 25m. He's a must this Summer

Love your content Joe, refreshing to watch someone who uses logic in their videos, keep up the great work.

Adarabioyo, Bowen, Mcginn, Ferguson (Bologna), Leif Davis, DCL (If Everton are relegated). Clarke and Jayden Philogene have been outstanding this past year in the championship out wide and have had to fight to make it after being let go by top teams. Hayden Hackney has been fantastic in midfield for Carrick this year. Matt O’Reilly at Celtic looks superb. We need tactically intelligent, serious personalities in the squad first. Then you bring in the “star players” in future windows on top of the core of good personalities. Everyone wants the stars first but when you’re looking to rebuild a club culture, you start with tactical and the right people and build on top of that.

Absolutely no way in hell Frimpong would even consider leaving Leverkusen for Utd atm.

Tijjani rejinders would be amazing, he is good on the ball and has a good boot on him.

great insight for only your eighth video! Interesting commentary.

Guirassy's link up play is top-notch too, something which doesn't get spoken about enough. For me we need a CB (possibly 2), DM, LW & SC as a minimum, so Guirassy and Adarabioyo are no brainers for sure. Olise is a must and I really like Boubacar Kamara (who we should've signed for free when we had the chance) to play alongside Kobbie.

Why isnt anyone talking about Aflie Doughty. On the Saturday Social you were raving about him. With Luton going down, he might be a cheap option with plenty of assists in him

Class idea. Liverpool next?

Miguel Gutiérrez is a great shout and seems most realistic left back option for right fee although we have to deal with City's feeder club. A very surprising call might be Bynoe-Gittens if United considers a swap deal for Jadon Sancho, although I believe they will fancy the money more.

When it comes to Manchester United players signing this summer, I can only wait and see. Palhinha, Todibo and Tosin can be a very good start. Amrabat got my attention as well

As a Barcelona fan myself Have to say Araujo won't move. He came through the club since 17 yrs old. Even tho his had his mistakes here and there we rely on him way too much to let him go. He himself didn't even want to move to Bayern😭😭

still waiting for championship stars and which prem clubs they should join

Ivan Toney to United feels like a perfect fit I think only United and Spurs are going to look to sign him from the top 6 clubs

Personally I feel like we’re going to do a lot more business this summer than people are expecting. Just don’t see how we won’t sign at least two cbs, a lb, midfielder and a striker. And then if Wan-Bissaka moves on we’re probably going to need a rb. Also Olise is apparently INEOS’ #1 target. Should be an interesting summer at the least. Got to take into account that Greenwood, Sancho, Casemiro, Eriksen, Varane, Evans, one of Lindelof or Maguire and possibly Wan-Bissaka could all be moved on.

What I don't like about Palinha is the fact that he is 28, and United the earlier I think can compete is 26/27. when he will be 30/31, and I think United should look for players to be in the first team in 5 years

Mbeumo, Tosin, Ndidi, Fofana, Barkley, Todibo, Nico Williams, Gutierrez, Douglas Luiz, Guirassy, Joao Gomes, Diomande. Would be players I like depending on what we offload and need going forward which depends on the clubs identity or managers vision. Something massive the club needs is a boost in physicality which seems an issue for us in the league. We are always dominated in the air and are shocking from most set pieces compared to the other top clubs

should deffo do this with a few clubs this summer!

Branthwaite & Todibo CBs (Lindelof & Varane replacements). Everton PSR troubles could mean an ok price for Branthwaite. Zubimendi DMC (Casemeiro replacement) Dewsbury Hall CM (Eriksen / Amrabat replacement) Toney ST (2nd striker) Gutierez LB

Hope we are monitoring Adam Wharton. North West player who has impressed every Palace game I've seen this season

good vid man keep going

Great content!

ManU should go for Koopemeiners.. he's been unreal since last seasons just flying under the radar.. Also ManU without Europe may not attract Top prospects so they should go for such underrated gems that are light on the wallet as well

Class Video!!

Pls do the exact same video for Tottenham ❤

Like the shirt mate! I have a lot of Them from 98/99 season :) who u Got on the back?

Great video, what’s that website you’re using to look at players?

Why not make one for all the clubs? Would be a fascinating series!

Joao Neves and Olise are a 100% must have!!!!!

Man Utd's needs in order of priority: Squad depth - all positions Replacements for all injury prone first team players (RCB, LB) Replacements for players that are now too old (CDM) First team Right Winger Backup striker First team right back (Dalot's decent, but not first team quality) Given all this it's pretty clear we've got a lot of problems we need to resolve with a budget that's been severely cut due to the ridiculous contracts we've been doling out; so my strategy is gonna be to look for good quality players with contracts either expiring in 2025 or with low release clauses - using FM24 as a database and whoscored to validate their performance this season: Serhou Guirassy (ST) - 17m release clause Mikel Merino (CM/CDM) - 38.5m release clause Miguel Gutierrez (LB) - 30m release clause Alexander Sorloth (ST/RW) 37.5m release clause Joshua Kimmich (CDM/RB) expires in 2025 Lutsharel Geertruida (CDM/RB/CB) expires in 2025 Federico Chiesa (ST/RW/LW) expires in 2025 Unai Nunez (CB) contract with Bilbao expires in 2025 so far (assuming the injury prone players are no longer at the club; we've sold Casemiro, Maguire, Lindelof, Wan Bissaka, Sancho, and McTominay, and VDB; and Eriksen and Evans have retired) this is how our squad depth is looking: 3 ST, 1 youth ST (+Rashford, Chiesa) 1 senior LW, 1 youth LW (+Chiesa) 2 senior RW, 2 youth RW (+Sorloth) 3 senior CMs, 1 youth CM 2 senior CDM (+Merino, Mainoo) 2 senior LBs, 1 youth LB (+Dalot) 2 senior CB, 1 youth CB (+Geertruida) 1 senior RB (+Kimmich, Geertruida) 2 senior GK for probably around 200m, we'd still be missing one CB and I can't find any more; so the rest I'd splash on Branthwaite and negotiate Everton down to around 50m seeing as they're desperate for money; completely fixing our team (yes I understand some of these names are underwhelming, but that's why they're depth and not first team) in one summer for a relatively low cost You're all welcome

Love these

not a utd fan but i really think you guys should look at rw, lb, cb, cdm. something utd especially under sir alex were great at, was signing great players from with in the prem. olise, guehi, onana and doughty would be my picks for you guys

Olise, Matt O'Riley, Joey Veerman. Would love any of them.

spot on with your physicality point. it is the key to United playing consistently at a high level in the prem. spine has been so bloody soft for so long. need at least one beast athlete CB to partner Martinez and at least one beast athlete CM with perhaps a bit more class/finesse than McTominay. some extra steel at FB wouldn't hurt either.

Joe you are spot on lad

Frimpong has played 41 of his 139 games for Leverkusen at RB. Also played RB at least 50% of his starts at Celtic.

Personally, I'm quite convinced TH wants to play 3-4-3, but he doesn't have the players to do so. That also explains the signings and the targets: Malacia, Antony, Olise, Frimpong, Dumfries, Gutierrez, Hernandez... all of them are best at wingback... The centerback targets are also pretty much all CB's that can function or funcion best in a 3-4-3 (forward going, wide, CB-fullback hybrids): Pavard, Todibo, Boscagli, Tapsoba, Pacho, Simakan, Araujo, Silva, Koundé, Scalvini. All of them, except Branthwaite, but someone has to be sweeper as well, but probably won't go for him as he is not versatile in that sence. Martinez could perform well as left sided CB and has played left back as well in the past. Mount and Hojlund played in 3-4-3 systems Apparently the under 21s and under 18s are also training in 3-4-3 and TH has sometimes played 3-4-3 in the past as well (Ajax had a clear club system of 4-3-3, which all managers, including TH needed to follow) If TH gets sacked, Tuchel would be the obvious replacement as he is a known 3-4-3 manager. I really don't want Tuchel though, as he got fired from chelsea, PSG, and dortmund all for falling out with people internally and aside mainz he never worked longer than 2 years. Very obvious red flags. Personally I would like to see the team as TH wants to play it and with a complete and fit squad before we give him the sack. He has always exceeded expecations in the past. Utrecht, Bayern, Ajax and last year at MUFC too. I don't think they want to sack him unless fan pressure gets too big. In terms of signings in 3-4-3: -Olise as RWB -André Trindade(CDM, cheaper neves alternative) -Pacho, LCB -Boscagli (backup for CB & CDM) -Simakan, RCB -Anselmino, (backup, sweeper) -Joselu, backup striker -Welbeck, free 3rd striker, like Evans signing & train Hojlund -Barkley, free, backup for Mainoo Imo, no need to spend on a LWB unless we offload Malacia, Shaw and/or Antony, who can all play LWB, if we do, than Theo Hernandez.

You massively understood the budget on this one with how much we make from sales. We could get that from just greenwood and sanch9lo

this season we HAVE to try and sign todibo,maatsen(maatsen is dutch so that helps ten hag as well) and adeyemi because they are both 22,talented and have insane work ethic in their matches(and also keep sancho and you have that dortmund chemistry and comfort)

Great video joe but one sum was wrong. If u saw fabrizios video he said that bremer has a clause that triggers next year but theres a gentlemens agreement that he could come for 60-70 m € which is 51-60 m£. Also nico williams can play rw

Good video and insight... But really bugged me when you were talking about Italian managers and you mentioned Conte and the Portuguese Jose Mourinho... but didn't include one of the best managers of all time... Carlo Ancelotti ...

Many clubs have looked at Inzaghi as a potential manager, INCLUDING Ineos-led United... But he reportedly isn't interested in a move away from Inter.

I think United should sign Mario Hermoso from Atletico. Yes he’s a left footed CB, but Lisandro has been injured almost the entirety of this season. He’s also free this summer. He’s good with the ball, fairly quick and a solid defender. He should be a priority signing along with Tosin Adarabioyo to fix the issues of personnel in defense.

For right back, I think United should go for someone more experienced or assured and smart (and on budget): Henrichs (RB Leipzig) or Cash (Aston Villa) For centerback: Konsa should be that guy - he’s almost like an English version of Akanji but Guehi might be up for sale and partnering either next to Braithwaite would be smart. Estupinians stock is at a low- buy now. Aursnes from Benfica is like the best Utility player out there atm. He would be a perfect Eriksen&Arambaat Replacement. Hjuland, and Weiffer are great midfield choices BUT Pessina from Monza is a great budget choice. Ferguson from Bologna, steal Paqueta from West Ham, Dani Olmo from RB Leipzig are players who can also fit in the mid and some on the wing as well. Raspedori is a CAM who I think can be a star if given the 10. Wingers… Olise seems like another Anthony ngl, Jared Bowen or Pedro Neto are waaaaay better choices who do have that grit. Eze and Bakayoko are good as well. Strikers: two options- Gyorekes and/or Ivan Toney. No brainer.

First sell Rashford, maguire and Mctominay...then only think about new signing...

Great analysis. United need to sign you up because it seems your 30min vid of transfer research is more than the current board have done in 10yrs. My realistic priority 3 would be: 1. Olise 2. Todibo 3. Maatsen

Priority needs to be defenders and midfielders build the spine first

Absolutely need is: DM: Zubimendi CB: Branthwaite RW: Kudus / Mbeumo (Olise injury prone) Out: Antony Sancho Rashford

I think a 2 striker formation would suit us better especially Hojlund maybe 3412 or 442 diamond

Recruitment is key in football yes and united do need players as the current ones we have aren't performing the task set. However are these players that bad or is it just the culture set at united? Was ten hag meant to change that? Currently we look at united squad and yes there is parts where we look and it has some qualities the quality we lack is consistency ! Consistency such, Squad performance (philosophy), player performance ( effort and ability). We need to clean the house first then sign players that fit the culture and process set. Ten hag has to be given a chance with consistency and a model in a structured board to help with his philosophy he wanted at the start of the process, the board decided the profile of player to fit his plan Top video joe 🔴⚪

Love football content these days, open stat rubbish, read it on camera, upload So insightful and entertaining

Jose Moruinho is not italian. I would of mentioned Ancelotti

Man Utd can take a prime Bellingham and turn him into Mctominay

You should do it with every club

Neves is genuinely one of the most enjoyable players I’ve ever watched, I also think he’s too smart to leave Benfica too early like Renato Sanchez and others

With the €150 budget and assuming ETH stays, I think 3 priorities for me would be 1. Olise 2. Kephran Thuram, 1 year left on his contract and the Nice links make it a very realistic deal for me and 3. Todibo or Antonio Silva from Benfica if taking 2 Nice players would sound alarm bells with the FA 😂😂 if you can get those 3 with Tosin on a free and an experienced striker on an affordable deal e.g Guirassey then I think that’s a really good transfer window

I think if a RB does Sign. Dalot could be a steady reliable option at LB. He steps into the midfield really well from LB.

For my career mode Utd team, I signed Gregor Kobel and he’s been amazing! Onana isn’t a bad keeper but with his age and the experience he’s has, compared to when De Gea first came to the club at 19 years of age, is inexcusable. It hasn’t clicked with him, and I feel a loan would be best for him if they can get someone better and possibly very young. That’s just me though.

olises release clause is not 55m pounds anymore. it was around that when chelsea tried to get him last summer. after all that he signed a new deal and the new reported clause only applies to champions league clubs and is 60M+ minimum

I only want warriors in the summer: CB: Kim Min-Jae £40m(If Bayern would sell)The new Vidic CDM: Palhinha £50m

Lol the editor must have had a few last night, forgot to cut some parts out lol good video tho

To say we only should be getting 1 cb is crazy and that rb is not a priority. You have to look at how Ten Hag wants to play (high line, play out from the back). This means players like Lindelof, Maguire and Evans should be going. Also Varane is not getting an extension. Therefore we should be looking to buy at least 2 maybe 3. Wan bissaka will probably go because he does not suit how we want to play, we need a fullback that can invert and overlap. Unfortunately he is not that so no rb may not be the biggest priority but we should be looking to upgrade.

Palhinha and Raphina would be good for Bruno aswell, they are old teammates and used to work well together. Familiarity on the pitch is what this squad is missing, if we could get both for a combined 100mil or less then it's solid business. Throw in that Leeds lad, Todibo, a striker and a few others , then we would have a solid base to start next season from. One problem, we have to do business quick and work signings out before the euros if possible, or we're gonna screw ten hag over for pre season.

How long ago was this video pre-recorded? We aren’t making conference league this season

IMO, I'd bring in 1) Matson at LB 2) Olise at RW 3) another budget striker for rotation 4) a quality CB, Araujo is my preference and 5) Joao Neves at CDM (yeah, I know it's a lot, but he'd be our starting CDM for a decade). I'd reckon that'll all cost in the neighborhood of $250mil, but hopefully they can raise at least half of that from sales, and maybe they can get at least 1 of those as a loan with obligation to buy or something to defer the cost to next year. Do all of that and they'll be easily in the top 4 next season.

Would love to see De Ligt at United. Kinda falling out at Bayern soo could be good.

fair table

Miguel Gutiérrez is my ideal LB with a release clause of 30mil euro it’s a no brainer. Guys a baller. Also Fofana from Monaco for 30mil or less is ideal.

Argument for Frimpong is squad depth he can play RB and RW both positions we need depth in

Olise aint joining the banter club he just smashed 4-0

Branthwaite and olise seems like the biggest transfer rumour United have rn. How can Araujo more realistic 😂

when he said about the amount of back-4 combinations, one if them does include Bruno from what I believe was the FA Cup match against Liverpool? Say if I'm wrong here

You should do liverpool next

Absolutely have to sign joao neves.

Did you just call the 34 year old Joselu 27?

Gino Rutter can put in a shift at striker and we definitely need someone to back Bruno cuz he wont be able to keep this grind up for many more years to come. He would also be fun to watch.

It’s probably fair to predict that none of these players will actually end up signing for United

two midfielders united should really look at are Manu Kone of Munchegladbach and Kephren Thuram of Nice physical, good on the ball battlers.

Just hope our new manager will take in the the transfer window.

I feel like you've completely missed the entire goal of the new regime, which is to build an elite squad for the future, not for right now, or even the next two seasons. Neves is the exact type of player they'll spend most of their budget on, along with people like Olise, Branthwaite. They aren't signing older players like Palhinha for fees that large - that's part of what's got us into this mess now! He isn't worth £50m to us when we won't compete for years yet. It's basically wasting money.

Gutierrez from girona is the left back Man U have been linked with the most yet no mention

Here’s what I think we should do: - Todibo - No brainer for me, decent price and INEOS connection. - Hermoso - Would be solid back up LCB/LB option available on a free. A Johnny Evans esque signing. - Ruben Neves - He’s wasting his time in Saudi Arabia, get him back to the Prem. Replaces Eriksen for me. - Onana - Casemiro replacement, no questions asked. - Olise - Seems to be Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s priority signing. The way he destroyed recently, why not? - Toney - Ideal age and profile to complement Højlund in the squad. Excellent hold up play that should benefit the likes of Rashford and Garnacho.

Priorities: Tosin, Maatsen/Doughty, Todibo, Amrabat, Palhinha/Zubimendi, Olise.

Normally you want good up and coming young players and while we should do that I think we’re in desperate need of experienced quality players that can grab a hold of the game in midfield

Could you do this for the rest of the big 6

Great content. I would add Andres Pierra to replace Christian Erikson.

Sommer budget might not be that low. I recon we get closer abit over 100m in sales, but we also offload close to half the wage bill (100m yearly) and the remaining players get their wage reduction too (25m). Signing decently young players and keeping wages resonable is the key for the future too. United will literally save money on the year on year budget by spending 350m in transfers this summer, as long as total wages are lower. Transfer cost are spread over5 yrars, wages isnt

Fore me, branthwith is around 50m and fullham free defender Onana/neves with barekly/Rabiot Olise with Lautaro Martinez

Given the kitty of around £200m-£250m,priority 2 CF,1 Midfield defensive,2 CB,1 R/L Back. Also been able to pick up a free agent. For sure United need Strong/Athletes signings Mature/Youthful Players. Onana of Everton around £60-65 m. CF Stuggart age 28 £20-25m CD inter Milan age 25 £50-60m,even though conquered seria A,are a selling club. United need to make sensible signings of the off Season. United We Stand

Honestly I would give bayandir a go next year in the cups .

Olise, Todibo and Tosin should be high priority for me, get those 3 done right now and think about the rest after.

Not sure how much we'd sell him for, but Joao Gomes at Wolves is the kind of guy that United is really craving. The kid is going to end up at a major major club, absolute dawg in the middle of the pitch

We should go for Todibo, Frimpong, Theo Hernandez, Joao Neves, Olise, Nico Williams, Sesko. That’s 7 players in. I would sell Varane, Maguire, Evan’s, Lindelof, Malacia, Wan Bissaka, Ericksen, Casemiro, Sancho, Rashford, Martial. That’s 11 out the door to fund transfers, and bring down the overall wage bill.
