Do you think 4 signings would be enough for Man United this summer for it to be a success?

We need 2 CB's, a CDM, a ST, a LB & RB, another CM and RW. Oh wait... we need a new squad

None of this will matter if we don't sort out the medical team as we'll still just have injury after injury.

Masterpiece created by Woodward and gang for the past decade 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

We need to sell Rashford and everything will be OK 😂😂😂😂 That's cap! We need 3 CB one That can play as LB, 2 MF (CAM and DM) 2 wingers at one that can play in CF or ST position

They need 9 players comfortably. 2 centre backs, 3 midfielders, 1 striker, 1 winger, 1 left back, another goal keeper to push Onana. Four players is not open heart surgery (According to Ralph Ragnick).

Tosin adarbayo is available on a free. Not bad as a backup option .

Danny Welbeck is actually a good shout, underrated suggestion IMHO

You got to remove Rashford from the squad

RCB. -Todibo LCB. -Jorel Hato CDM. -Adre trindade CM. -Mats wiefer LW. - Nico Williams RW. -Olisse ST. -zirkzee As long as bruno and rashford play for us, we will struggle in build in final and middle third.

I would sign Todibo (CB), Palacios (DM), Hincapié (LB/CB), Simakan (RB/CB), Guirassy (ST), Èderson (CM), and if we have the budget Summerville (LW/ST) and Caqueret (DM). Would cost a lot but if we can sell Sancho, Greenwood, Casemiro, Maguire, Wan Bissaka, and a couple others I think we would have enough

Best way to rebuild a squad are by creating some steps and trusting the process. Firstly we need a good backroom staff such as coach for set pieces , defense, offence, chance creation. New medical team. Secondly we need to fill in the positions which is really needs new signing such as cdm, cb and Lb. Thirdly, we need to sell/let go all the player which are not good enough as well as player which are injuries prone such as luke shaw , martial, Mctominy, marcus, sacho, victor, AWB, Greenwood, Varane , Casimero, Van de beek, pellistri, Eriksen, Johnny evans. Lastly, Fill all the position which are sold.

Mario Hermoso (free, LB/LCB), Guido Rodriguez (free, DM), Rafa Silva (free, ST), Ndidi (free, DM) actually wouldn’t be bad options and would help free up cash for bigger transfers once the full recruitment team is in place (targeting signings that can seriously upgrade the playing team)

Not forgetting that we have some good prospects in academy that can be backup

It's all about Selling players more than buying...I really mean it...sell these four players first,we will solve 90% of issues trust me.Rashford,Maguire,MCT and martial.

ETH just needs to keep bringing the youth through they understand the DNA of the club

We need a complete review of all players and staff. This does not take 5 mins, it does not guarantee success overnight or even a year. I EXPECT a ruthless summer, BUT you cant throw the baby out with the bathwater. We need to keep someone in position X until we can replace them. Bite down hard people its going to hurt. However look at the improvements made this summer by INEOS as a glimpse of whats to come in following years not weeks.

Multi-functionality/versatility is the key, and missing on your list. The problem with signings like Branthwaite, Hjulmand and Dorgu for me is they all have 1 position they're good at, while a player like, for instance, Riccardo Calafiori would cover all 3 of those positions. He would probably start for us as leftback, but would also be a perfect replacement for Martínez when he's absent. That's smart business and squad building.

i think we need 7 signings not 6. I'd add a RW because of Antony and Sancho. Unless EtH (if he stays) starts to trust Amad and give him more minutes.

hopefully we see more of players like kambwala and also harry amass and many others in pre-season this summer, see the qualities of them and then see what we need to do. Before this season kobbie mainoo was in the same shoes as such players and hes already a solidified starter

I think United would be lucky to get decent replacements for CB, DM and ST.. Hopefully 1 fullback that can do a job at both LB and RB. Someone like Welbeck would be a pretty good option I think. Someone to be a rotation player and has more experience that Hojlund can hopefully learn from. A.Onana and Branthwaite might cost quite a fair bit.. but they are proven in the league, young and would bring some much needed physicality and aerial ability to a relatively small United team. Signing 4 reliable players and getting rid of at least 3-5 players would be amazing. Hopefully already a big improvement.

I totally agree with the characteristis of players we should get

We are gonna have squad overhaul in 2 seasons. Promising acedemy graduates, and clinical signing including some big young names and under the radar signings is what united need. GGMU

Yes, 4 signings should be the max or it may disrupt the squad dynamics. priority should be CDM,RCB,ST,LB in that order and it may change the entire way we play, but these signings are most probably starters. Onana, Todibo, Guirassy (or sesko depending on the budget), theo (if shaw moves to cb). i chose lb cuz its been mentioned a lot but if they are not going for it, a cm or cdm is my 4th priority.

depends on what you mean by 'enough'. won't be enough to challenge for the title, won't be enough to appease a lot of fans, but i think it will be enough to get the process of turning the team over started, especially if they get the right spine players in. i also think they need to find a way to take the armband from bruno so that he doesn't have to start every game and they can change up the playstyle in both attack and defence.

Your positions are spot on and realistic, just the players like the secondary signings of CB and CDM, they can be bargain buys since United only buy 3 signings per window

I think in the long term Shaw could be Martinez's back up next season based on his reduced fitness. Any amount we would spend on Branthwaite could be spent on a permanent solution at LB. Grimaldo from Leverkusen is unlikely but someone of his profile who is an experienced player and good going forward so that atleast that might be a channel for some good crosses to Hojlund.

Only a few worth keeping Onana, Mount, Hojlund, Martinez, Garnacho, Mainoo, Kambwala, Ahmed, Bruno the rest are done....

I've seen a lot of talk of signing 2 good CM's / CDM's and playing a 4-4-2 diamond and I like it

Totally agree with you, even had Danny Welbeck on my list. Guirassy, if he wants to come. Only thing I disagree with is Onana as CDM. I think we need a regista type to get better organized. Neves would be the best, but too expensive. I think palacios, zubimendi, mandela Keita, André Trindade and Mats Wieffer should be CDM targets. I would actually try to buy Eric Martel as a different option CDM. He's the Onana type destroyer CDM, but maybe 20m instead of 70, but also rock solid and he can play as a back up CB as well. I would look at Mittelstadt as left back and I would love Joey Veerman or Orkun Kokcu as No. 10, if we manage to sell some players.

Considering our transfer fund limitation, I think we need to properly mix new signings with promoting/developing our academy players. We need to develop Kambwala further to the level that we can have him become at least our 2nd option for CB. On the other hand, let's hope that Amass will get the opportunity to play in the 1st team (if not given this season) and further develop. After seeing how ETH wants us to play, I think getting 2 CBs and 2 CDMs, all athletics types, should be the priority. Getting Branthwaite and Onana as a package deal will be god send. But if we are limited by fund, other than Todibo and Hjulmand, maybe we can explore to get Ederson (Atalanta) and Jorrel Hato (Ajax) as possible cheaper alternatives? Getting Wellbeck will be great! Not only Rasmus, but Wheatley can possibly learn a lot from Wellbeck and hopefully get promoted to the 1st team!

Adebayo from Luton would be a good back up, especially if they get relegated we could get him on the cheap

Rebuild the squad I don't think is the immediate issue Sam, its clear we are not good enough at this moment on time, changing the manager in my opinion would be absolute madness. The Rebuild as got to start from the bottom up in terms of the teams performance, like I've said before ten haag has put these steps in place, getting the youth teams right through playing the style he wants to play in the first team is key to his plans (in my opinio) getting the best team around him physios etc and bringing some experience in the first team, leaders, then feeding some of these youth players seamlessly into the first team, they will already understand the way the first team play its 2 or 3 year project short term pain is definitely worth log term gain, to bring another manager in just upsets the whole project, we got better results last season not playing the way ten haag wants to play, he had to do this to keep his job and get these plans in place but now it's about this is the way we want to play (it not working) because the majority of the players can't play thus style, give it 2 seasons from now and truly believe we will be exciting and challenging with a young squad who understand the way he wants to play patience

Although I agree we need signings to really progress we can’t forget the youth & giving them a pathway like kobbie. There is one or 2 particularly amass at LB that should be given a chance.

Know you know what the fans want thank you for the post

Honestly think we need 7-8 signing but that wont happen will take 2-3 windows. I Love your 2 CB choices Sam I would take exactly the same could be best in PL within a year, Dorgu has great potential and for me Onana, he is a must buy perfect partner for Kobe serious athlete, big engine, strong, ariel strenght, defensive duel monster, only 22, technically v good at recieving posession from cb and good switch of play ability. He has areas to develope but for 22 he has most of the tools you could dream of in a cdm. Im not sure about Hjlulmand tbh think he will be average at best, maybe a young lesser know back up at cdm? Redondo maybe? Not mad at Welbeck for 1-2 seasons but I think we need a winger urgently Olise or Nico Williams someone with more creative passing than Rash/Garno otherwise we will end up the same with Hojlund struggling with shelfish players all around him and ruin someone with great potential.

A serious club would buy between 6-7 good players

First thing to change GK. Onana really not consistent and cost us so many points this season especially Champions League games. For Defenders atleast 3-4 players, we need to consider Varane, Evans leaving and selling Maguire, Malacia and even Bissaka. New left back, right back and 2 centre backs. For centre mid, Casemiro, Eriksen will also be leaving and left us only Mainoo and McTominay. Atleast 2 new centre mid - defensive and creative one For Right Wings we will let go so many this season including Sancho, Antony, Pellistri or even Amad. Atleast 2 wingers For Striker, i guess experience backup will be a good addition. 10 new players in total 😌 Afraid will become another Chelsea with so many new players

Four quality signings and some promotions from the academy. We won't win the league again, but it should be enough to compete and challenge for 4th, which is the best we can hope for at the moment.

United going to need like 7/8 new players still .but its going to be nearly impossible to bring them all in one transfer window... They going to need another Left back - Kerkez, Theo Hernandez, or Alfie Doughty Another left center back as backup for Martinez and for rotation 2 new right center backs (Maguire and Varane replacements) A CDM (Casemiro replacement) A fresh left wing (Garnacho backup and for rotation).United should cash in on Rashford. Backup striker with Højlund

I will be happy IF, Casemiro, Rashford, Sancho, Antony, Eriksen, McTominay, Maguire, Varane, Victor L. , Aaron Wan Bissaka + some academy lads. All of them should be sold and sign 8 players and promote some academy lads as well. Mason Greenwood depends on what the board will decide but i would love to keep him even if it will cost the club a fortune but he won't cost us points.

LB - Kerkez CB - Todibo CB - Branthwaite CB - Silva RB - Frimpong CDM - Ederson CM - Neves CAM - Wirtz RW - Bakayoko LW - Leao ST - Sesko That’s the rebuild we need Malacia Maguire Lindelof Evans Varane AWB Hannibal Eriksen Casemiro Donny Mctominay Bruno Rashford Sancho Greenwood Martial Pellistri all gone

I don't think it's about whether these are the positions that need an uograde, but rather, what they feel needs to be upgraded first with the money they have.

4 big signings with other signings coming in on a more cheap/free deals can be doable if we also sell well. There's alot of top free bargains we could sign to boost our squad depth Ins: Sesko Onana Kerkez Adarabioyo Barkley Olise Todibo Welbeck Ndidi Sell: Greenwood Casemiro Sancho Varane ( leave on a free Amrabat ( loan expired ) Martial ( leave on a free ) Eriksen McTominay Donny Pellistri Maguire Lindelof Squad next season Goalkeepers: Onana,Bayindir, Vitek Defenders: Martinez, Todibo, Kambwala, Adarabioyo, Evans, Dalot, Wan Bissaka, Shaw, Malacia, Kerkez Midfielders: Mainoo, Mount, Onana, Barkley, Bruno, Gore, Ndidi Forwards: Garnacho, Hojlund, Rashford, Amad, Olise, Sesko, Welbeck, Antony The likes of Lacey, Kingdon, Amass, Jack Fletcher, Ibragimov, Wheatley, Oyedele, Mantato, Ogunneye etc should all come through next season give them oppertunities

To those points please add: Lineup: 4 3 3 being best Motivation and commitment: not just play for the sake of playing, but aiming at winning.

Completely agree. We are so lightweight across our team. I’m not sure ETH recognises this though? Just belligerently trying play his way. Needs to adapt.

Great video Sam

I don't think 4 signings is enough to make us serious title challengers. But I think it could be a good start of the transformation, and realistically probably around the max limit of what can be achieved in one summer. In addition to the signings for the 4 positions Ornstein mentions, I would like another CB, another winger, a RB and maybe even another CM unless the youth setup comes through very soon.

Right back, 2 centrer backs, midfielder cm and a winger, and a forward

I think 4 signings could get us closer but we need to have more depth because if we want to compete at all fronts i think its 7 signings for me

Couldn't help laughing for Danny Welbeck but can see the thinking behind it. Damn, I don't know if that's a good enough squad.

They're signing more than 4. Casemiro, Varane, etc are gone this summer. They'll sign at least 7 players with the right profiles attached.

Dorgu, Branthwaite, Todibo, Hjulmand, Alex Garcia, Nico Williams and Welbeck. All of those signings would cost a total of about 255-265m British pounds. Forget both Hjulmand and Onana because that is completely out of the budget. I’d say you’d have to choose between which everton player to sign because I doubt they would sell United both Branthwaite and Onana in the same summer. So I’d personally choose Branthwaite and Hjulmand. The only way I see United getting Onana is if they get another cb instead of Branthwaite. Starting off in goal, there’s no problems there as of right now. In center back I’d keep only Lisandro and one of Maguire or Varane. The rest of the center backs can just leave because they’re just deadwood. I’d definitely sign 2 cbs preferably Branthwaite and Todibo and I’d start both of them from day 1. For right back is fine there’s Dalot and Kambwala. In left back there’ll be Shaw, Dorgu and Malacia which is decent. Moving onto mid field, Mainoo/Alex Garcia and Bruno/Mount is healthy competition in my opinion. United are really gonna have to rely on Hjulmand to carry them and be there best and most consistent player just like how rodri is for city. In attack I think Nico Williams has to come in to strengthen the wings. I personally think united should let go of one of rashford or antony but not both. And for the striker position I’d strengthen it by bringing in a cheap, experienced, over 6 foot forward in Danny Welbeck on a free to compete with or just be backup to Hojlund. Welbeck is definitely an upgrade from Martial.

CB wise, I’d sign Todibo and leave Branthwaite as too expensive for how much we need to spend overall. I’d sell Maguire and Lindelof. Keep Evan’s for experience with Martinez, Todibo and Kambwala and maybe Tosun or someone on a free/cheap.

🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿 actually the first person to say how much we need athletes, as well as technically quality players.

nope im at like 9 haha keep : Buy : Onana/ bayindir /Heaton Martinez / Kambwala // Evans or Linds A.Silva / Branthwaite Sahw / Dalot Dorgu / Frimpong Mainoo / Mount / Bruno J.Neves / Hjulmand / Y.Fofana Rash / Gnacho / Amad / Anotony / Lacey N.Williams Hojlund / Whealey Sesko

4 is not enough, l think 6 will be decent and have a few signings of people who have played in the epl because they are likely to take less time to adjust

In a way, i dont evem see the striker position as a problem position because our wingers dont play with their striker in mind. Our attack goes to die at the wings with the likes of rashford, leaving the striker isolated. Bring in a player like kvaratskhelia or mitoma and see our play transform overnight. Basically a technically gifted winger over a 2nd striker.

I believe AWB can be developed into a CDM and we can go for an RB. AWB has awesome ball control and no questions on his defending.

I'm with you Sam, we need more than 4 but that would be the absolute minimum. Arguably need 2 x CMs, 2 x CBs, 1 x LB, 1 x CF and 1 x RW (if someone like Sancho and/or Greenwood leaves). Doing all of that would mean theres a chance of competing. But it won't all be possible in one window, so at least get 2 x CB, 1 x CM and 1 x CF in this window. Am hoping one of Shaw or Malacia comes back and Fernandez proves himself on tour. If we go after an LB in this window, I'm with you on Patrick Dorgu.

If I was in charge, most anyone is up for transfer as well. The only untouchable for now would be Bruno, Mainoo, Hojlund, Martinez.....that's about all

Hot take I would keep Casemiro for one more season and get another starting cdm. A well rested Casemiro is not a bad back up option. There's no world were we get 2 new cdm this window and we do not have any other one apart from Case.

I'm impressed everytime I see João Neves play, what United really need

I watched Braithwaite closely last night in Everton’s 6-0 hammering by Chelsea and was far from impressed. Seen him in part before and he hasn’t necessarily stood out by any means! But we’ll probably do our utmost to sign him for £70/80m no doubt!

We need a RB, LB, 3 CBs, 3 CMs, RW, LW, ST. And regardless if Ten Hag stays or go, we need to upgrade the coaching staff, because I doubt they're best in class considering the way the club has been run. Similar fashion to the player recruitment, new guy comes in and we hire some of their former colleagues.

We might not get more than 4 players in, as this summer will be about letting go of lots of players rather than bringing more in IMO, but I think we should be looking at the free transfer/loan market to help the squad next season instead of splashing cash on players when the environment on the club is not fully developed into a thriving place yet.

Antonio Nusa(Norway)LM LW RM 19y.o.180cm 72kg*************15 Mill

4 signings isn't enough but I think we will get a fair bit if cash from the sales of Greenwood, Antony, maguire and sancho. If we spend smart then we can get quality players in for a reasonable price

realistically 4 signings (IF 6): LB CB DM ST (+ CB CM)

I think 5/6 is more what’s needed, and I think it’s possible if 8/10 players leave, especially big earners like Varane & Casemiro.

We need atleast 2 cb a no 8 a lb a experienced st like lewa or benzama a rw if greenwood is going leave and a dm a backup gk (but having some quality to complete with onana ) But Firstly we need to remove players like trashford sorry but casi maggu sancho lindoloff

To think though, under ten hag we have flourishing signings. Onana, though costed us the champions league, has PROVED that he's a top quality goalkeeper. Hojlund, Martinez, Antony (recently), mount, malacia (last season). In terms of promising youngsters we've had garnacho, mainoo, kambwala and diallo. I'm hoping we keep ten hag for next season.

6. ST, RW, CM, CB, LB. Toney, Olise, Onana, Branthwaite, Someone good.

I agree 100%

Four incoming is the bare minimum to even survive next season. Six is needed and eight would be great. But United will never be able to pull off more than five. Needed: 2CB, 1LB, 2CDM, 1CF. LB: Patrick Dorgu/Nicolás Tagliafico (6M). CB: Todibo+Anselmino (27M). CDM: Rabiot/Samuele Ricci (0, 15M). CF: Schick, Dovbyk, Sesko (20-35M). Total: 80M. Sell: McTom (25M), Sancho: (25M + Addons), Greenwood (25M + Addons). Total: 75M. Net spend: 5M.

I think we need 5 or 6 this season 2CB 1 left back not sure about malacia yet . 2midfielder and a striker

We need two quick strong and clever centre backs, two quality midfielders and a striker..we need to sell Rashford, Sancho, Maguire, Lindelof, Casimero, Van de Beek, Williams and Alvaro Fernandez..we should keep Greenwood if possible, if not cash in as well.

Completely agree at least we need 6 players 2 center backs 2 center midfielders and 1 striker one left back or at least bring back alfaro fernandez from benfica Idk if ole watkins will be a good signing also if he agrees to move to a team who didn’t qualify to any European championship

I am a big fan of Man United but this club is disappointing me from last 8 years 😔

I would start considering getting a long term replacement for Bruno. The unfortunate part is that there are more pressing areas that need addressing which makes acquiring CAM virtually impossible. The profile of the CAM that is needed is "versatile" and "technical" a name that springs to mind is Wirtz. I would however say that the spine needs the most attention (for God's sake though it is like we have been trying to fix this forever. Just never gets fixed.) In all honesty though, I think one centre back of high quality is priority. A stop gap striker is a must because I think the strikers that are considered elite right now are posers, i.e Osimhen, Ramos. A CDM that fits the athletic profile and that is tidy in a pass is a must. Sellin' Rashford, Sancho, Greenwood, Mctominay, Casemiro, Varane, Martial, Pelistri, Amad, Hannibal is what is needed to restart the rebuild. There are youngsters coming through the academy that can cover. I wouldn't sell Maguire and Lindelof yet because there is too much that needs addressing.

It feels like de ja vu at the end of every season where I watch these squad rebuild videos, get a glimmer of hope about the new season and then half way into it remember how terrible we are and what a mess of a club it currently is.

Man Utd are in such a precarious position financially. I highly doubt they will get 6 high quality signings. It will be amazing if they can get 3 quality signings and a cheap striker. I would say minimum should be 1 CB, 1 LB and 1 CM. We would have to rely on Martinez and Shaw not being injury prone and the continued good form of Mainoo… not ideal at all.

Yes 4 signing would be enough if we have the right manager who will know what type of player he needs.

2 CB, 1 Def Mid field (sell Casemiro), 1 left wing (sell RashFord). Striker is optional (use Mount or McTominay)

No manager would have done well with these players and the lack of depth and quality of this squad. But it has to be a minimum 5-6 players even quality free transfer to bulk up

Personally, I'd like to see Licha become our CDM and make him our captain! Add to that Joao Neves, Branthwaite and Welbeck on a free transfer for one season (the following season bring in Evan Ferguson). If we could also get Todibo and Thuram from Nice, happy days! But the rest of the squad needs to start getting filled by academy players. Lads like Maxi Oyedele, Toby Collyer, Dan Gore, Harry Amass and I'm sure even Alvaro Fernandez, Hannibal and Pellistri could still return to the squad and do bits. Big one for me as well is to grow some bollocks and return Greenwood!!

COOL VIDEO UNITED GUYS❤ 0:09

We say he same thing every damn season, we listed the same positions summer of 2022, that’s why we signed Malacia, Casemiro, Varane, Hojlund. This is So Damn annoying, players we sign have to be aged younger than 24. And must be playing for their national teams

Salebra!! Love it

4 signings is wonderful when you're trying to keep a solid squad fresh. We don't have that though, we need 7 signings and could do with more. We need a LB, 2 CB, 2CDM, an 8 and a striker. And this means we need to sign cheaper players, because let's say we can spend 300 million after player sales. That would mean only 43 million per player on average if we want to fix the squad up properly.

Signing 2 cbs could nullify the need for a left back as Martinez could cover for Luke Shaw at left back 🤷

Need at least 5 in, though not sure how possible that is...... Priority must be getting at least 13 of these out of the door over next few windows

Yes, we need two CBs and two CDMs, and maybe one of them could double as a Box-to-Box Midfielder and a Striker, but I won't go for D Wellbeck, hell no.

Besides those 4 signings, shift Garnacho to the left, Rashford off to bench or if he wants off to another club (i don't care), and make a new leftwing signing, Olise or Neto would be good....that makes 5, we'll be alright

Rebuilding a squad with Shaw at LB and Dalot at RB is crazy. 😂 Shaw plays half a season every season and Dalot is too error-prone to cut it at any other big club.

Great work Sam, now let's talk turkey.. Onana from Everton has been on my list for sometime, so gr8. You got Marcus @ 6 mate, based on ability I hope! He is our worst player by some margin & that's not because of not scoring, but more imp. his lack of contribution to the game & the negative demeanor he displays on the pitch. I really think he needs to go, it's a win -win he will find his mojo again & we'll get someone who wants to be here. Love your work mate

THE BEST CONTENT ❤

What we NEED is GOALS. We need to out score rather than out conceding teams

Look forget what the media are speculating. It's not going to be 4 signings. I don't think we have ever seen a summer like the one coming. Expect about 8 players minimum leaving including big names we won't expect

Is it enough…no. Is it a good start especially if we have a competent hierarchy in place..yes
