Transfer breakdown in the Athletic that suggests United are targeting 4 "major" signings and are specifically looking at 2 CMs, a striker, a left sided CB and a left back. So I guess one of those would be "minor" if all of that happens.

In midfield, sounds like they want to promote a youth player and sell Ugarte. Van de Ven mentioned at CB would be very interesting.

Thank you LinkedIn Liam for making us all forget Amorim's Grimsby tactics board. You will be missed.

Yeah, Van De Ven would be really interesting… another serially injured defender to go in our collection of serially injured defenders.

(I've learned my lesson after getting excited about Mason Mount)

According to TransferMarkt, last season was the only season he missed a lot of time through injury. Only missed one game this season.

CM is a no brainer, need at least one quality CM, preferably 2. Realistically 1 quality and then 1 younger ready to develop.

Another CB is needed, but we have a lot of money tied up there, and I hope they give Heaven some time to develop. He looks the part, just needs game experience (we have to advance a bit more in cups next year to give players more game time).

Left back would be good too. Hopefully we sell Dalot this summer so I don't have to watch him ever again. Shaw is steady, but so injury prone.

I hope we don't get rid of young striker to bring in another young striker. I think Sesko can be the guy if we give him time to develop. Maybe a Zirkzee replacement and sell him off?

He missed 14 games to injury history first year at Spurs, 33 last year, and as you say 1 this year. Guy is worse than Luke Shaw if you ask me (who has also been shockingly healthy this year, but I'm not planning on that lasting indefinitely either). (Edit: well, not "worse" that isn't fair… but he's within the same area code).

Plus, I've watched a fair amount of Spurs… you are thinking of how he cut through our team and scored that goal last year against us. In fairness, he tends to look good against us because we aren't very pacey and that's his strength. When you watch Spurs this spring, though… he's a huge part of the problem, not the solution. (I wouldn't take Romero either). I'm serious, if I had to take a Spurs player, maybe Archie Gray, but he really isn't ready yet for an actual big club. I'd stay away from that team (and I'm all about picking up players from the relegation sides).

Well crap Cunha ruled out of tonight's match due to groin discomfort.

Nice to see Dorgu on the bench

Honestly had to be harder to miss from that close
Absolutely shambolic from Amad after Mainoo cooked their defense. No chance that missed opportunity comes back to haunt us, right?

Amad had been a straight 0 the last dozen games or so.

Then we get Shaw picking up an early and unnecessary yellow. Lovely

Waste of a card. Nothing was going to come of that. Now he's have to come off at some point.

That pass by Bruno. One time 40 yard drop shot. Wow

Casemiro. Make him an offer and keep him. Just use him in the right spots.

The level of ****housery they allow on GKs during and before a corner is crazy.

I saw some crappy ranking of the 50 worst Premier League transfers of all time that had Casemiro in the 40s. I thought that was incredibly unfair. I'm not real sure he even cracks the 50 worst transfers of just United (we admittedly do deserve our fair share of entries in the top 50, I just disagree that Cas is one of them).

Googled it; from ESPN:
https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/47888808/premier-league-worst-transfers-all-bill-connelly (At 49)
(Note: This is a list that doesn't include, for example, Andre Onana. I'm just saying…)

Amad having a major stinker so far. His drop-off has been sharp. Hurts that Cunha is out today

That's 3 really good chances that Amad is 0-3 on

Maguire just absolutely left Thiago wide open there. Thank God he slipped

Might've been offside, but Thiago is getting way too many wide open opportunities

Amad is off by literally yards. How can he not see that?

If Bruno isn't the best MF in soccer I don't know who is.

Amad off for a defender, who can hardly be worse offensively.

Slab putting his best asset to use there. Looks like Shaw picked up a knock or a cramp maybe?
