More than happy so far. Are we a little light up top still though? cant see anyone getting 20 odd goals regularly. Between Rasmus, Zirkzee, Bruno and to a much lesser extent, Rashford, we should have enough fire power this season for a good tilt at Europe and one of the domestic trophies.

We conceded 58 goals last season in the Premier League and that should come down to around 35-45 next season (assuming we buy a CDM). So that is where I think most of the improvement will come.
Over the past 3 seasons we have scored 57 goals, 58 goals and 57 goals in the Premier League. In 21/22 Ronaldo scored 17 goals. In 22/23 Rashford scored 18 goals. In 23/24 Bruno and Hojlund both scored 10 goals apiece and we spread the goals a bit more with Scotty and Garnacho also chipping in with several goals.
Annoying that Hojlund is injured. Zirzkee isn't a prolific goal scorer. But I think we do have quite a few players who can hit double figures: e.g. Rashford, Bruno, Garnacho, Hojlund. And Scotty, Casemiro, Sancho, Amad can also chip in goals.

I think Amad will surprise a few this season if he gets chances.

Us United fans can see it, hopefully it catches a few opposition teams on the hop!

IDK why we aren't jumping all over the likes of Hermoso and Rabiot on the free while working on getting Eriksen/McT out so we can pick Ugarte. This would give us talented players to fill the ranks....
the striker roll I think we are pretty set Hojlund/Zirkzee with Rashford and the young lad we signed from Arsenal youth. I looks like we are also poised to play the false 9 at times too which we did last weekend and a couple times at the end of the season last year

My guess they become more viable if and when we offload more people like Eriksen, Hannibal, Lindelof, Sancho and Pellestri and maybe just maybe Casemiro (last minute).

Fofana on the brink of joining Milan. 25 million Euro. Damn good price.

Had his heart set on Milan and only a year left on his contract and wasn't going to sign a new deal. So not surprising really.
Hopefully it increases our resolve to get Ugarte done as Berge (while not a bad player) would be an incredibly underwhelming finale to our transfer business.
As for the various freebies you need to consider the total cost of the deal. Rabiot would probably want a 3 year contract and around £15m a year. That is £45m over three years and while he might get a lot of gametime next season if we didn't sign another midfielder, you'd expect us to buy a younger upgrade the following season which would relegate him to benchwarmer and at 29 years old how long before he starts to decline?
Hermoso I still think is a good idea. Only wants about £5m a year in wages and can play left back as well as centre back and with all the defensive injuries we get he would get plenty of minutes. Although I suppose hard to justify bringing in four defenders in one window with only two departures to make room.

absolutely delighted about the de ligt transfer. loved him as a player since he dominated at ajax back in what, 2017?
still only 25, massively experienced and won so many titles. well spoken guy, leader and a tough defender. de ligt, martinez and yoro...that is really exciting.

Would probably why others haven't jumped at them as well. I know Rabiot was on some high wage at Juve.
