Manchester United 2022/23 - The Reign of ETH

Such an anti climax after it being drawn out. Heā€™s a class signing. Hopefully they get Eriksen confirmed as well this week and then a DM.

They are bringing in a solicitor on a short term contract who is expert in sports contracts. Heā€™s the brother of Michael and Will Keane. Matt Judge used to handle all that.

Signing the Solicitor could be a game changer.

Correct.

Theyā€™ll need three or four more at a minimum. De Jong should improve things but there are a lot of serious gaps.

Need to get the spine of the team right. Liverpool are relatively competitive in the league and Europe with an ape like Andy Roberston at left back.

Really hoping they land a CB so the process of moving Maguire on can begin.

Agree on spine. I think ETH could dona job with the full backs and wingers available to him, going on his track record of developing and improving players.

He could go with Varane and Lindelof. Weā€™ll hold more of the ball this season and youā€™d expect him to sort out midfield so both those things could significantly improve the defence.

Lindelof is just too slow. Heā€™s definitely the best option currentlt though.

I coukd see Laird getting a run. Iā€™m surprised theyā€™re selling Brandon Williams to be honest.

Apparently Barca want to include Maguire in the De Jong deal. I find that hard to believe unless theyā€™re looking for more money to take him off United hands

Maguire would be perfect for tiki taka football & deft touches.

ETH in the building at Carrington today. Hopefully that adds new momentum to the acquisition of new players.

Iā€™d say De Jong was insisting on it.

Ah here. May as well have Ferguson and Mick Hucknall running the line.

Theyā€™re on VAR.

A cultured manager such as Xavi would get the best out of a ball playing centre-back like Maguire.
