I'm sure they'd want him. There will probably be more rumours about him too. I like to think though, that our players realise what we have and where we're going and would have to think very long and hard about money being more important than success.

Cole Palmer is some player you’d think a half decent club might be after him.

The brought him for £40mil or so, I expect his value has doubled already due to his performance this season. So whilst I expect teams will be interested, not many could afford him with FTP concerns apart from Liverpool, Citeh or it seems Chelsea who can splash over 200million just on midfielders last season.

This did make me smile..

'Offers will be considered for the majority of United’s high earners such as Casemiro and Raphael Varane, while the likes of Harry Maguire and Christian Eriksen are also available for the right price.'

The right price? They'd make more money raffling them.

Konsa to Man Utd https://www.footballtransfers.com/en/transfer-news/tag/exclusive-newsnow/exclusive-man-utd-transfer-interest-ezri-konsa-aston-villa-steve-kay

Yeah right!

It's amazing what a couple of decent games for England can do for you!!

No doubt 'approached' in the England training camp by some Manure player or perhaps their future manager!!!

Yep. They need a massive clear out
They have a huge problem trying to rebuild that team, Any takers for Rashford on +£300k a week?

Sounds like the media have finally noticed that not only is he in a good run of form, he's actually quite a decent player.

Trouble is, they've done about three clear-outs / rebuilds since the last time they were any good.

Sancho, Ronaldo, Van De Beek, Telles, James, Fred, Lukaku, Matic, Alexis Sanchez, Pogba, Mkhitarian, Bailly, Martial, Depay - that's the thick end of £600m on rebuilds over the last eight years or so.

They were supposed to be having a clear out last summer too but there weren't any takers.

Looking at their squad there is an argument that they still need to clear out circa 10 more down to age, form, injury problems  and being a bit shit.

There's no chance of them having a clear-out without paying off some painfully hefty contracts. I feel for them.

They could do with a manager who can come in and get a song out of the dross that's there already.

Don't. Because we know a man who could do just that.
