Transfer Roundup

Paulo Dybala might on his way in 86 million deal. 

One thing is for sure, this is going to be the most important summer of transfers since Alex Ferguson left 6 years ago.

With a major cleanout needed, and a host of new players being mentioned and rumoured already, there is some cause for hope - but also for concern. with Ed Woodward and the Glazers still holding the purse strings, It's hard to know if the frustration of supporters is going to reach the boardroom, and they are going to listen.

In fact, it's interesting to notice that there a campaign to get our opinions as fans to the boardroom seems to be gathering pace. #unfollowManUnited is getting stronger and stronger on Twitter and elsewhere. It's aimed at the likes of Ed Woodward, and given that he sign pointless players like Fred, and expensive flops like Sanchez, he has to take some of the responsibility for results on the field.

As for specific players, Pogba is a player that a lot of fans, quite rightly, want to see the back of, given his poor attitude this season. For 10 glorious weeks, we saw the footballer that won the world cup with France last summer, but before and after that, we saw someone who just wasn't giving 100%. Zinedine Zidane has refused to rule out interest in him. Let's hope he goes to Real this summer.

The conflict is that Woodward, being the company man that he is, wants Pogba to stay, while Solskjaer wants him out, due to his poor attitude. Surely, footballing considerations should come first, because, as people have pointed out, eventually, if United keeps listening to the money men, the wins will dry up and the money will run out.

Meanwhile, Martial, due to his ridiculous attitude when he was recently caught with his hands in his pockets, daydreaming, in training, is looking at the boot, as OGS doesn't like his attitude.

In terms of good news, the club are in the running to sign De Ligt from Ajax.  The 19 year old has had a great season at the club, and is on track to become a world class defender. ESPN FC pundit Steve Nicol reckons whether he signs or not is dependent upon what the player wants - money or Champions League football. United are going to have to splash the cash to attract the best talent, as, due to the laziness of squad, they aren't in the top competition.

In terms of other good news, United have agreed a deal in principle for Juventus forward Paulo Dybala for £86 million. While it's good we have another forward, the most pressing areas for replacements are surely midfield and defence, so we have to hope more work is done there.

Fingers crossed, there will be more good news to come....
