The difference with Rice and Scott is discipline to sit. Rice will sit deep all game long, Scott likes to burst forward, If he can just learn to love to sit, shield, spray the ball then you start thinking beyond rice

I can see us making a move for Rice next summer when Pogba leaves. Depends a lot on whether West Ham soften their stance and stop demanding Grealish type money for him and whether they'd be prepared to accept Lingard + cash which will depend on how their summer signings work out. It would be an underwhelming signing but he's young and British and that fits with Ole's "philosophy". But he's an upgrade on Fred and Matic and would give Scotty a bit more licence to get forward and score goals.
But there are a lot cheaper and better DM options on the market. Inter is a mess so Brozovic might be available on a free next summer. Lots of good young players in the French league such as Guimereas, Kamara, Tchoumeni....and historically DMs coming from the French league do very well in the EPL. And Bissouma would also be a good shout.

Am I missing something here?
So next summer, we are going after Rice who wants to join Chelsea and Haaland who apparently wants 800k per week, which United won't do? And this all stopped United getting a CDM this season?
Nice briefs coming out already eh.

The government takes a nice whack of that 800k a week but it's really an insane amount of money for someone who's won very little in his career. The player is pure quality but you normally need quite a few quality players to win anything. If there all earning that, then what chance do you have unless your bankrolled by a state? The game at this moment is one giant bubble and without correction we will see some top clubs go to the wall very soon.

Not exactly transfer related, but apparently we got beat 4-3 against Stoke in a behind closed doors friendly. Very weakened team of course, though Greenwood played and scored.

I guess we understand now why Ole refused to let Donny join Everton on loan. We need him for these behind closed doors exhibition games.

What in the name of Jesus is Mason doing playing in a bloody friendly? Seriously?

I hope Matic didn't have a good game or he will be starting our next match.
No idea why Greenwood started. Would have made more sense to play Martial if we are giving fringe players a run out

Jones to limp off with an injury in the 7th minute Good Lord if that is true tear up his contract. I could care less about any sob story ion his body giving up on him. That is close to 100k that should be off the books fast

He's also shit. We need to get rid of Solskjaer before he lumbers us with more over-hyped English dross. I don't think Rice is shit, per se, but he's not better than Scott, IMO. Plus, for the money he'd cost, you could get Bissouma and A. N. Other and still have change left over. Nah, he is genuinely shite.
