Numbers of incomings are always fluid. We wouldn't sign another RB if Walker stayed for example, possibly the same with Wimmer. Pau is a loan to potential buy. Sessegnon/Foyth were ones for the future which we've been told in the past are from a separate budget.

The Lemar/Zaha type and Barkley seemed to be the two that would be added regardless of outgoings, although I'm sure the plan is to shift on Sissoko/N'Koudou/Both later in the window regardless.

5 signings sounds a lot, but that could be Barkley, Lemar-type/alternative ST, Wimmer replacement, Walker Replacement, Pau Lopez, which seems quite reasonable really.

I'd say Mourinho is just trying to create waves knowing full well he has no chance of getting Dier. It's been his MO for years.

Was telling my ManU mate last night ... Maybe (apply salt), Mourinho did it to either
a) Turn Dier's head - e.g. player wants out = become a shit
or (and this is the sneaky bit)
b) Wake up Matic into action - because he's a player who actually wants to go to ManU and could get it by being a shit. (IIRC - Chelsea not wanting to deal with ManU following Lukaku purchase).
ManU then have a better chance of unsettling a player for the position they want to fill ... Whether choice A - Dier, or B- Matic.
My streetsmarts are awesome.

Apologies if I've been out of it. But is "Sissoko out" wishful thinking or based on anything?

I think its wishful thinking from people in the sense, if we get rid of him we have money to spend on a ready made quality player or a marque-esque type player due to the high transfer we paid for him.

hertyid: All this Dier news is just the biggest load of balderdash I have ever heard. Shameless use of the Manc Evening News by Old Trafford trying to create a story out of nothing.
ali z: This they want him and Are trying to unsettle him offered him nearly triple wages.

I saw sh*tsoko on his jack jones training in the gym (this was on his instagram story). If Poch wanted him he would surely be back in preseason by now?

Surely if this is the case we need to do a Southampton and report them?

This is always worrying as if the player goes full on dick mode, which 3x wages could do, the club may make a decision. Really dislike what Man Utd are doing.

Seems like a point of principle though from Levy though, and I don't think Dier will do it, so still pretty confident he's staying.

New contract would be the ideal solution but may be tricky now as 70k-100k may not cut it for a years extension...

Reports are Matic may be forcing a move so hopefully that happens and they back off.
