What makes you say Rose is staying. Poch isn't playing him even when he's fit like he has with Toby so I think he's made up his mind he's going.
Rose has not been fit. Rose also has no suitors right now (at least not teams where he wants to go).

Rose has been trying to make amends because it seems like he is not going anywhere.

All of that could change with a good WC - but I would not be shocked to see Rose here next season.

Toby would improve every team in the league by a long way...

It would be painful to see United get him, look at last season when they got Matic from Chelsea.

It would be painful to see him go there because they would be on step closer to being a complete package. Linked with Alex Sandro and Milenko-Savic too, they buy those 3 they would be a force again.

you are correct but so is @Hengy1 ---- IF we could effectively engineer a straight swap, or maybe even come out with a little extra cash on top, between Martial and Toby, it is a deal worth, reluctantly doing. We would then be in a position to move some other players to bring in Ligt. Worth doing in my humble opinion.

I’m hoping that even if Barcelona sign that Lenglet fella, they will still be the club to take Alderweireld off of us. That would be the best scenario for everyone - he’d be a good fit for them. You wouldn’t begrudge him the chance to play there either.

I'd prefer PSG. PSG aren't rumored to sell a top CB to ManU should they buy Toby.

The best scenario is that he stays and signs a new contract

I’d meant to say should he definitely be leaving, which I think looks set to be on the cards now really, though I hope he stays, obviously. Would he be a starter for PSG with (an admittedly ageing) Thiago Silva, Marquinhos and Kimpembe already there?

I believe the ITK suggested Barcelona were in for him, so I’d rather that scenario than any potential move to United.

Has there been any news on a potential PSG interest?

Just paper talk I believe. I'd imagine a full strength Toby is better than Silva at this point.

I'm not to worried about Toby anymore because I believe we have one of the best defenders in the making in Sanchez , at just 21 and working with a manager like Poch imo he's already special and the sky's the limit.

Not for me. Toby is going regardless so if we can get a quality player like Martial in then we should do it.

But Martial won’t strengthen us as much as Toby will strengthen United. They beat us this year, giving them Toby won’t increase our chance of beating them next year.

And we beat them this year too.

My point is Toby is going what ever so in the process if we can get a quality player like martial then we should do it.

After losing Walker without getting Sancho in return - I will not forgive Levy if he sells Toby to those ****s without getting Martial.

And I know that would hurt him.
