They had the benefit of knowing they were going to get £100m, mind. Leicester & Brighton (who got £50m for a player themselves) are still the only other clubs outside the Premier League darlings to pay more than £20m for a single player this summer.

Anderson Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Thought West Ham would be in, or is Lingard still expected to go back? Could imagine Rafa loving him too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GWN Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 You have to take ya hat off to Ashley, selling the club , still willing to part with £25m for Willock doesn’t have to? could sell ASM if he’s such a cunt? he could just liquidate us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toon25 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 There's no way in this universe that Jonjo Shelvey will not be start every game that he's 'fit' to play. Big Steve fucking loves the cunt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbthree3 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Jones could do something with a midfield like that, hopefully. As Bruce doesn't do tactics and Jones has "a little input" I see little reason how it could go wrong. Bruce I think still has final say though on teams Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nbthree3 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Bruce has played a 3-5-2 since the Brighton game which coincided with our best run of the season, so I assume he's wanting to stick with that formation. ASM was almost always up front alongside a more contemporary forward. Different from 19/20 where it seemed he was more on the wing as you'd expect. https://fbref.com/en/players/2b16cb1a/matchlogs/2020-2021/summary/Allan-Saint-Maximin-Match-Logs Miggy was played in the midfield trio usually during that run mostly. That last game against Fulham it was him and ASM up top https://fbref.com/en/players/862a1c15/matchlogs/2020-2021/summary/Miguel-Almiron-Match-Logs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonny1403 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Quote Bruce also admitted that United's first option had been to loan Willock once again, only resorting to a purchase once a temporary deal proved unworkable. Of course Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
