OOPS! Romero had a little bump on his way into training this morning:

He's apparently ok and training as normal.
Some of the comments are very funny
Doesn't look like the best of crash barriers. Luckily it went over the car and not through the windscreen. https://twitter.com/utdreport/status/1219220170423...

This is a painful transfer window.
I know we don't want to be held out to dry on transfer prices, but lets face it we are desperate now.
How many goals has our current fit first 11 got us this season?? 13/4?? Can see us sliding away now to mid table.
If Martial gets injured... (not unlikely btw) we only have our little inexperienced starlet Greenwood up front to rely on for every game and that's a hell of a lot of pressure!

Damned right we are. Yes, everybody knows that and they are going to jack up the prices but if we have an entirely crap run-in, we'll be losing any remaining appeal that we still have for attracting decent players in the summer.likesachange said:

It's not the pressure on him that worries me, it's the fact that he's just not strong or fast enough to operate as a single focal point. We've got to bolster that else we're just going be a pushover up front for the rest of the season with a forward line of James, Greenwood and Mata who could all be blown away by a stiff breeze. Someone who's also a decent threat for set-pieces would be good because Maguire is just woeful considering his size - not a patch on Bruce when it comes to charging into a crowded penalty area to meet a dead-ball delivery.Barchettaman said:
This from the BBC website re Haaland:
‘ He didn't slip through Man United's transfer net. He wanted to sign for a Champions League team pushing for honours, not a mid-table Premier League side pushing for Europa League qualification.‘
Ouch!
At this point, that isn't far from the truth is it? This isn't even a lad with some medals or achievements; imagine Man Utd trying to coax a superstar like Ronaldo to join them, which is what they need (not a Pogba - it is now confirmed that he is a narcissist, not a superstar).‘ He didn't slip through Man United's transfer net.

Hardly ouch, more the obvious. Thats all we are at the moment, simile to Liverpool when Klopp took over ‘ He didn't slip through Man United's transfer net. He wanted to sign for a Champions League team pushing for honours, not a mid-table Premier League side pushing for Europa League qualification.‘
Ouch!

Nothing to do with United not wanting to pay agent 
o nothing ?nothing whatsoever .franki68 said:
buying in January is very hard ,the club are very wary of paying over the odds .
Whilst that is understandable 4th spot is up for grabs ,and isn’t it worth an extra 10-20m to try and get there ?
Surely they have to move for someone now, with Rashford out for weeks. Whilst that is understandable 4th spot is up for grabs ,and isn’t it worth an extra 10-20m to try and get there ?
Peter Crouch?
Apparently they’re concerned about setting a benchmark which could be used against us for further reinforcements in summer such as Grealish / Maddison. I can see the thinking that if we overpay now by £20m, we’re open to doing the same again in summer but who cares? We’re at a really low ebb here and in danger of losing out on even UEFA spots so nobody would come in summer then. It’s got to be worth a piddling £30 - 40m!

Doesn't Man Utd lose £20m from their Adidas sponsorship alone for not making the top 4? Whilst that is understandable 4th spot is up for grabs ,and isn’t it worth an extra 10-20m to try and get there ?
It'll be even more harmful with no Champions League football and the further harm to the club's standing.

Not having that he was 15m agent could charge 15m and he's still a bargain, pretty sure most were happy to pay 70m for him..o nothing ?nothing whatsoever .If the agent is letting u know about a cheaper option of getting him then who care if he makes more money.
15m + 5 or 10m to him is still a bargain for that player
Gone a bit AMG said:
Can’t believe we are not in for Cavani if he’s looking to leave. No brainer given the injury to Rashford. Fergie did similar with Larson.
Was that not a short term loan?Surely Cavani is going to want a big 2 Yr contract on big money, something you're trying to get away from? (players with best years behind them on huge contracts) - not to mention 4 injuries in last 5 months
Why not try for Werner or someone similar

The way you behaved towards the referee because De Gea dropped the ball, was not on.
Grow up, it's not under 17's football, it's up to the ref./VAR to decide.https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51189309
