These deLigt rumours just wont go away...would be an incredible signing if we pull it off.

You do this to yourselves every year

City fans claiming a quadruple is quite entertaining. Long as they are happy believing it. Maybe the real treble one day who knows.

Just the last few to be fair as new managers have struggled for support. Who knows who OGS has asked for and will get.

There seems to be confusion in being able to differentiate who the papers link us with and who who we genuinely try to buy ,so I am happy to be educated as to who united have actually tried to buy the last few years that have turned us down .
I’m struggling ,I can think of a few we wanted but wouldn’t pay the fee ,but players who turned united down ?

We will never know unless a player goes public. I'm content to sit wait and see like most of us :-)

The odds of him joining you were slim he has the crop of Europe after him, for me you are mentioned so an agent or a player gets more ££ - his agent is very good at getting money.

In my opinion Manchester united should be moving heaven & earth to sign Matthijs de Ligt.

Pay the money & build a team around this impressive young man , If there is a sniff of getting him then you should, not many footballers of his ilk are available . I'd love him at Spurs but i think he's just laugh at the wages we's offer him.

I read this a few minutes ago but Sky are a gambling house & i'm sure they use their main site to get suckers in to bet.

You really do need to get this young man.

Is there a crop of Europe ? Madrid ,Barca ,Bayern and juve are all fading forces ,pale imitations of previous teams ,that’s why British clubs have done so well in Europe .

Fading is still a step or two up from faded.

It must be decades since Utd finished above that amazing Liverpool side in the league. You guys must have won it so many times in recent years.

Since Sky became a betting house I don’t believe a word they say. They used to tell the truth and only report when things were official, but now they just report “sources say” stuff to get people to bet...

Not often we agree but you're right.

Since 'sky bet' became a thing I haven't been even slightly concerned with their rumours...

Yep ,but we are down and hopefully only way is up ,these teams are looking like the United at the end of fergy era,ageing with poor replacements for retiring world class talents .

I was told Barça had agreed a deal with him a few Months ago ,the only issue is Barca are not in a great financial position ,but I’d still expect him to end up there,Ajax is their feeder club .

Can you count to 4?
4 pieces of Silverware in a season. Every available domestic trophy. Utd have never done that and would you bet against City adding the CL next season?
