Why do you keep saying managers? :lol:Ten Hag spent more than Howe and that's it. Howe has spent more than Mourinho, Van Gaal and Solskjaer. Lucky for you that you have a competent board that know how to sell players and do dodgy deals with Forest to make the net spend look decent. 

 

Sure you paid us money for that person, only to sack him 3 months later. 

 

Wonder if he stayed things would have turned out differently.

Dodgy deals aren't dodgy if they're within the rules, as it happens they were.

Not totally convinced that the improvements are down to leaving Man United or leaving the Premier League. Considering Sancho and Rashford haven't massively improved I'd hazard a guess that it's the league more than anything. 

 

Think McTominay would have been an ideal Longstaff upgrade though.

Howe has been here 3 and a half seasons. Look at what the 3 managers you mentioned spent in their short time at Man Utd. Then allow for transfer inflation. Howe has didn't the 8th most in the PL since he's been here. Your 3 were in the top 3 spenders when at Man Utd

Genuinely think Mainoo could be a Howe-type player. Excellent physical attributes, positional versatility (to a degree). Wouldn’t be in ahead of the starting three (obviously) at the moment, but if, as seems likely to me, Longstaff leaves, he significantly improves depth.

 

The article in the Sun (aye, I know, I know…) today claims they’re “certain” to sell him and Garnacho. Says £55m for Mainoo, which is probably a bit too steep IMO, but get it closer to £40m and I like it.

 

Relatively low wages too, so could probably offer him a substantial increase without too much bother.

 

Imagine taking a 20-year old England international off Man Utd…

Mainoo will demand at least 150k/w and that rules out a move to us.

Would he? Because it seems he’s on absolutely nowhere near that at the minute.

Appreciate he’d want a significant rise, and tbh, so he should if he’s being bought for something like £40m+, but I think he would accept a lot less than that.

 

Who knows though? All just hypothetical .

Aye yeah, rumours are he's asking for big money from Manchester red.

If they could sort the money out, Mainoo would definitely play Eddieball 

 

Garnacho has loads of potential.

Tbf, even that hideous Antony looks a canny RW. 

Players stuck at a toxic, unhappy club tend to flourish when they're removed from the stench and allowed to breath and smile again.

I think all Man Utd fans are, it must be so strange for them to be shit after years of success.

Mainoo would be an excellent signing for us.

 

Think the fee will be out of our reach though.

 

It's Ratcliffe's Man Utd, everything has a price, anything over £10 million would get him

We might do a PSR friendly £100m for Mainoo, they buy Longstaff for £70m.
