Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says he "can't ask for more backing" from Manchester United after securing both Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane early in the transfer window. I read it as more the club have backed him properly and he couldn't ask for anymore from them, rather then he can't ask the club for more players. But then when he said the bit about loan players coming back, so yeah maybe it does mean there isn't any more funds, not sure why he cant say something like the club have backed me I couldn't be happier but of course there is always space for quality players to improve this squad.

Recent comments from Ole do not really bode well for any future business this summer. The final death knell will be when he says he is happy with the squad and confident we can challenge for trophies next season.
But really he is a total sell-out. Could not ask for more backing? Last summer he wanted Grealish and Sancho and wound up with Donny and Amad and Telles instead neither of whom improved our first XI or made any contribution to our failed title attempt. This summer he got Sancho a year too late and only got Varane because he was available at such a bargain price that even Woodward couldn't say no (and I'm pretty sure if Real had stuck to their guns and asked for 60-70 million euros we would have probably walked away or gambled on being able to sign him on a free next year).
Our gross spend this summer is only just over £100 million. Chelsea and Manchester City often go close to £200 million. If we were serious about challenging for the title we would continue spending buying a central midfielder (and potentially two if Pogba decides to leave) as well as a right back. And we might also think about testing Dortmund and Tottenham's resolve with a bid for Haaland and Kane. That is the kind of backing Ole could ask for if he had any kind of ambition. And that is the kind of backing managers like Jose, Pep and Conte would be asking for if they were in the same position.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says he "can't ask for more backing" from Manchester United after securing both Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane early in the transfer window. Fucking shill. 'Thanks for the underserved new contract Ed!'

Lot of stuff saying we are in talks for Ruben Neves... ...but not Saul... Easier deal to make and Neves would love to come to us. Saul is still in talks with the whole Barca/Atletico Griezmann swap, that would be his preference which is fair enough. In any case we need to start shipping out the likes of linagrd, james, perreira, pogba, ddg etc. That should raise significant sums to get a midfielder or 2 and if dalot is sold you have enough to get trippier

This fills me with renewed hope! Got to admire Ole’s optimism with Jones.

Jan Aage Fjortoft Rainbow flag Flag of Norway @janaagefjortoft · 23m After Sancho and Varane. Now Trippier moving….
Could it be a window-hat-trick..?
Still think Man UTD need an extra striker too…

That fat toad! I think we have to get comfortable with losing Pogba for free next summer. All of the elements are there for it to happen: high wages, no one are willing to pay a fee that would represent his talent, and a cunt of a agent that is a greedy pig and will tell him to hold off. I just want him gone at this point. IDC if its for 100mil or 1mil, he is lazy on defense and spent too many games disappearing when we needed him.

Still think Man UTD need an extra striker too… Trippier would be a decent addition... Still need a midfielder... THAT would be a seriously good transfer window...

This fills me with renewed hope! Only two of those is actually a reliable centre back and Ole wants to loan out one of them. We are so fucked.

If Pogba’s ain’t being sold (which is almost a stick-on) he should be loaned out to either Curzon Ashton, Glossop North End, or Hyde United, for no fee!

Really annoys me that the club will be left with a load of players running down their (stupidly renewed) contracts per Mr Bogarde, although, as it was the Rents I found it quite funny at he time!

I’m pinning my hopes on Maguire improving by having Varane alongside him. He plays better for England with Stones alongside him so surely to fuck he can look half decent with Varane. I’ll admit I don’t dislike him as much as you do, and maybe it just post Varane optimism, but that’s all I’ve got.

We probably called their bluff on PSG or have ignored it, so he’s muddying the waters further by offering him up to the scousers. I think Pogba stays but I’d much rather he fuck off so we could get a CDM.
