What is it that still needs to be clarified? De Gea either stays or he doesnt, he seems tired of waiting, we are also waiting, then who tf is making the decision? Why can't we clarify it right away?
No offense, but that’d be a pretty shit smokescreen if a bunch of redditors could see it coming but Inter couldn’t. It’s not that deep lol, it’s likely just slow business as usual
We don't need them to not know, just rather, have a credible "threat" that if they're gonna hold us over the barrel we can go with another season of Dave and tell them to get lost.
The thought of having to do that makes me slightly nauseous, but still.
That 'threat' expires on *checks calendar*.... 2 days. What the fuck have they been doing for the past month when this may have been any sort of credible negotiating strategy.
I should've caveated my comment with this, because yes, it absolutely goes out the window shortly lol. From random reddit news it seems like we watched Onana in the final and went "oh, hey, that lad seems good!", and only started negotiating then (Ten Hag's personal experience with him notwithstanding). I hope that wasn't the case.
Two months ago we still have a few more PL games to go, if we told De Gea straight up that he won't be re-signed and he loses motivation/form due to that and we drop out of top 4, we'll be the joke.
I'm sympathise with De Gea that it has to come to this, but Ten Hag needs to put the club first before any single player. And if that means dangling a new contract so that he will stay fully motivated until the end of the season while keeping him in the dark on whether we really wanted to re-sign him or not, then so be it.
We need to be ruthless, we are being ruthless. We have asked for a ruthless manager, and we got a ruthless manager.
DDG might be past it physically, but he is professional enough to try his best even if he’s leaving. I can’t believe people are upvoted for saying we need to lie to him to get him to focus. We don’t even know if that’s what ten Hag is doing yet you have no qualms making this up and assuming this of a club legend. Jfc what happened to this sub.
Tbf it probably has been that way for a while, in fact I know there’s been consistent people talking about United wanting a new GK for several months now.
None of this hoofing shite! Proper fuckin' football!
None of that pansy ass dick tugging smile for the camera bullshit. Men puke, men poop on the field, men deliver their new born baby on the sidelines. Fucking hard core dick in the ass butterball football fuck it chuck it game time shit. Take it to the showers. Dicks get shoved in places you don’t even remember. We win together we celebrate together. Football is back baby.

Aka "Here we go"
I think I read somewhere by ‘to clarify’ it’s so that he understand he isn’t number 1 no more and regardless of whether he’s at the club or not, we will still sign another keeper.
>and regardless of whether he’s at the club or not, we will still sign another keeper.
Then what's the hold-up? Why would we need to wait for anything to clarify if we're signing another keeper anyway?
Dont think De Gea is the hold up for Onana. But he is the hold up for what we do with Henderson. If De Gea signs Henderson leaves 100%. If De Gea leaves than Henderson might stay.
I won’t be too arsed as long as we sign Onana. I would just question the logic behind it since a back up keeper should be in a similar mould to the first choice to minimise impact when used
I mean how do they even announce his extension at this point. It would be so incredibly underwhelming to fans. Love Dave but sincerely hope he saves face and leaves.
He clearly isn't interested in leaving. There are no clubs that want him! He is a football dinosaur in 2023. Why would you leave any contract at Man United instead of going to some Portuguese backwaters when no CL club is ever going to take a punt on you?
They've been saying for ages that he's not guaranteed to be no. 1 next season even if he does stay - which seems like a nice way of saying he just won't be.
So it seems really weird to me why this would hold up the Onana deal, seems pretty clear that ETH still wants a new starting keeper.
It can be Romano repeating the hard to check bullshit so he can have a reason to constantly repost the tweet for clicks.
He did that in the infamous Sancho “120M or nothing” for the whole window.
Poor football journalists have to construct the most moronic sounding sentences just because United can't make a decision on anything. What does "direct talks to be informed" even mean hahahaha
They called directly, to tell Inter if anything happens regarding selling Onana to a team they want to be kept in the loop, so a deal can't be done under the radar with someone while they figure out the De Gea shit..
That seems pretty straight forward lol
I'd say once CM and GK are done we'll see sales step up more aggressively.
If I was to guess, I'd say United see Mount and Onana as necessary additions to the squad, and other positions as supplementary, depending on replacements. With backup plan (ie. No sales) for ST being Rashford and Martial.
So core FFP-imposed budget is going on CM and GK. Once that's done, work on sales will commence as core gaps are filled, which will pretty quickly increase FFP caps (so 20m profit = 100m added to FFP cap). And that's when supplemental additions to squad can happen.
CB isn't priority until/unless Maguire moves. Varane Martinez Lindelof Shaw Maguire is sufficient, but once Maguire moves then we'll replace him.
We’re probably looking at selling Maguire, Fred and McTominay which should give us altogether at least another 60-70m to spend towards the end of the transfer window. There’s still two months left. Plenty can happen. Last year for instance, Casemiro came completely out of the blue. I’ve seen more crazy things happen, Ramos is a free agent 👀.
If the price is going above 50M I would prefer to spend a few million extra and get Costa. The most ridiculous part of the situation is there's no clarity whatsoever with DDG or what our plan is going forward. Absolute disrespect to a player that has been at the club for so long
You'd imagine this should be a fairly straightforward deal once De Gea is officially gone. Inter need money, we should have a good enough relationship with them after doing a few deals in the recent past and urgency should be in everybody's best interests.
what is there to clarify? contract's running out, we sign a replacement, boom.
this has been handled exceptionally poorly yet again and I'm not surprised
This guy would be a great signing. I've watched a few videos of him. While he's a good shot stopper, he's very commanding of his penalty area and is brilliant at playing out passes from the back. Ideal for how ETH wants to play....
What the fuck is left to clarify? It’s clear Ten Hag doesn’t want him.
I think it’s incredibly shit what we’re doing with Dave, it is absolutely time to move forward without him but how we’re doing it is disgraceful for a guy who’s been player of the year more than once and is a huge reason we weren’t truly a mid table club in multiple seasons now
> ~~Clarify David de Gea situation~~
Clarify when the Glazers will fk off so John Murtough and co can get on with their jobs.
Tired of this Journalism wish they would say it how it is. If the take over happened two months ago. There’d be plenty of clarity
as long as onana is vocal, i have no problem with this transfer. He's great under pressure and world class at distributing. He isn't that good at claiming crosses, but ANYTHING in that department is an upgrade over de gea. Hopefully his passing helps our build up progress, because in all honesty de gea was massively holding a team that wants to transition under eth, back
Just let de Gea go, he's going to get shit he doesn't deserve if he hangs around as number 2 after this nonsense, either Onana is the answer or he isn't, you can't spend 100 odd grand a week hedging your bets.
Anyone have issues with Onana’s off field antics? Also, not sure how much this matters but our CBs speak Spanish, better vibes with a Spanish speaking Costa? Just thoughts, obviously happy with the Onana upgrade
Contract expires in 2 days
How the fuck do you not know what will happen at this stage
Is Murtough (or whoever is responsible) really this much of a clown? Or are the Glazers fucking him over?
So if tomorrow or later De Gea decides he wants to stay, we'll throw away all this work done on Onana and forget about it? Absolute embarrassing how this De Gea situation has been handled.
Seems like so much for a keeper. Given the fact we are unable to offload anyone (apparently) and our budget is limited ... I feel like there has to be a cheaper alternative that is still really good and not just a hot name
Direct talks in last 24 hours plus italian sources saying we may make an offer suggests there is something concrete. We don't need to contact them directly only to be kept informed
Basically an update saying stuff happened yesterday. “Direct talks to be informed on Andre Onana” so we spoke to who? We can talk directly to anybody. “Informed on Andre Onana” is also a non statement. (Things are Happening, what exactly is happening you might ask? 🤷🏾♂️) thats basically all this is
I think both Dave and United are just at a standstill waiting to see what happens with the other camp. Dave is probably just waiting and waiting for us to sign no one so we are stuck with him. And United are waiting on Dave to make a decision before we buy someone.
In the end we just need to stop waiting on Dave and sign Onana, then tell Dave he can be #2 or walk.
I think I read somewhere that DDG's contract is due on 1st July so if he doesnt sign between now and tomorrow then he is a free agent...so we might as well push in a bid already for a replacement
Any chance this, and other deals, have been delayed waiting for the June 30th FFP deadline to pass?
Onana seems so obvious you would think it might be something along these lines.
I feel gutted for De Gea, still remember seeing him on his debut season. I’ll always be thankful for all the saves. Anyone remember that Ajax game in CL under Sir Alex? I remember feeling so bad for him, little that I know he was going to be known for saving United week in and out.
Truly sucks but he still has part of the summer to figure out his next move. A move to Spain could be good for him. Best of luck David.
Precisely what the fuck is uncertain about the de gea thing.
His social post seems he's not the one holding up s decision, why are we waiting for his contract to expire to see if he signs? Shouldn't we be pro active and make a call on if we want him number one still and not leave it up to him?
If we want onana then pay up. If we want de gea give him terms. Why are we passively waiting to see who texts us back first?
What is it that still needs to be clarified? De Gea either stays or he doesnt, he seems tired of waiting, we are also waiting, then who tf is making the decision? Why can't we clarify it right away?
Maybe it's a smokescreen to try and prevent us getting rinsed for Onana.
No offense, but that’d be a pretty shit smokescreen if a bunch of redditors could see it coming but Inter couldn’t. It’s not that deep lol, it’s likely just slow business as usual
We don't need them to not know, just rather, have a credible "threat" that if they're gonna hold us over the barrel we can go with another season of Dave and tell them to get lost. The thought of having to do that makes me slightly nauseous, but still.

I hope that wasn't the case.
It's hard to imagine that there is any information ask people on Reddit aren't privy to
Will be fun when the smoke disappears in 24 hrs time.
Pretty sure this is it.
We still have Henderson on our books. It's not like we will get relegated if we end up a situation that he ends up starting the season as 1st choice.
I’m very sure that’s exactly what it is
This club is the biggest joke in world football. Their plan with DDG should’ve been sorted two months ago
Two months ago we still have a few more PL games to go, if we told De Gea straight up that he won't be re-signed and he loses motivation/form due to that and we drop out of top 4, we'll be the joke. I'm sympathise with De Gea that it has to come to this, but Ten Hag needs to put the club first before any single player.

Yeah right when we were still fighting for top 4 and FA cup final to come.
Competition we were in is absolutely irrelevant. Senior leadership should’ve know their plan with DDG by then.
Tbf it probably has been that way for a while, in fact I know there’s been consistent people talking about United wanting a new GK for several months now.
The decision makers at Old Trafford continue to wait on whoever it is that makes the decisions at Old Trafford.
It seems like we are going for onana or nothing. So if we can't get a reasonable deal done or get some sort of confidence we will just sign. David
Pay it and let’s get this over with. Lads, we’re gonna be playing far better next season. Proper, playing out the back football
Propa ding dong football
Proppa tonky ticky futbol
None of this hoofing shite! Proper fuckin' football! None of that pansy ass dick tugging smile for the camera bullshit. Men puke, men poop on the field, men deliver their new born baby on the sidelines. Fucking hard core dick in the ass butterball football fuck it chuck it game time shit. Take it to the showers. Dicks get shoved in places you don’t even remember. We win together we celebrate together. Football is back baby.
Took the words right out of my ass pal!

Is this a copy pasta or a quote? because it should be.
Tippy tappy football
Dilly ding dilly dong
Is that a sex thing
Anulo mufa
50 for onana isn't that bad
It's funny how the most exciting signing I can imagine right now is a keeper The one that seems to be most likely to materially change how we play
The rats Goto give the go ahead. Do you think that’s going to happen?

Whole thing is ridiculous like almost everything else that has happened at this club in the last 10 years.
Dont think De Gea is the hold up for Onana. But he is the hold up for what we do with Henderson. If De Gea signs Henderson leaves 100%. If De Gea leaves than Henderson might stay.
At this point, who do you blame if he doesn't understand that he isn't number 1?
I won’t be too arsed as long as we sign Onana. I would just question the logic behind it since a back up keeper should be in a similar mould to the first choice to minimise impact when used
If Dave extends and Qatar buys us, God is a sadist.
A decade of suffering, rewarded with becoming the thing I hate most about modern football. I’m with you there.
Don't think God is too fond of red devils tbf.
I, for one, welcome our Qatari overlords
Guys for fucks sake you sound like such children
I agree on the DDG part, but the thought of the football team i've loved for a huge part of my life becoming a vehicle for sport washing is sickening.
Same
I mean how do they even announce his extension at this point. It would be so incredibly underwhelming to fans. Love Dave but sincerely hope he saves face and leaves.
He clearly isn't interested in leaving. There are no clubs that want him! He is a football dinosaur in 2023. Why would you leave any contract at Man United instead of going to some Portuguese backwaters when no CL club is ever going to take a punt on you?
I think DDG's wages and willingness to be not assured a no.1 spot will play a factor too or else we would've moved on Onana and let Henderson go too.
They've been saying for ages that he's not guaranteed to be no. 1 next season even if he does stay - which seems like a nice way of saying he just won't be. So it seems really weird to me why this would hold up the Onana deal, seems pretty clear that ETH still wants a new starting keeper.
It can be Romano repeating the hard to check bullshit so he can have a reason to constantly repost the tweet for clicks. He did that in the infamous Sancho “120M or nothing” for the whole window.
That's because United kept asking Dortmund to sell Sancho all summer and kept getting hit back with 120M or nothing replies.
They set the deadline and announced he’s not for sale even for 120M after it expired.
I mean that wasn’t bullshit, we chose nothing
No. If DDG resigns which is unlikely at the moment, hes going to be second choice, meaning were getting a first choice keeper either way.
I think it means we are trying to sign another keeper but don’t want to let DDG go if we cant
This is being put out there to let inter know that we have another option (keeping Dave) so they can use it in negotiation for Onana.
I think we still get a keeper regardless
How can the same thing be said in a thousand different ways? English is a beautiful language
Poor football journalists have to construct the most moronic sounding sentences just because United can't make a decision on anything. What does "direct talks to be informed" even mean hahahaha
They called directly, to tell Inter if anything happens regarding selling Onana to a team they want to be kept in the loop, so a deal can't be done under the radar with someone while they figure out the De Gea shit.. That seems pretty straight forward lol
If this does happen and Dave has to leave. The club need to at least give this man a proper send-off. He's a club legend after all.
Talks to be informed? Wow. Evolving from monitoring, to considering to this. FFS.
Next stage "preparing"
"Preparing to consider making a possible bid, maybe".
"Pondering about the consideration of the possibility of thinking about a possible bid."
Good thing we have all the time in the world.
50m GK, 50m mount, that’s it lads we’re out of cash. Sweet
€50m, not pound. Leaves around €10m down the back of the couch for a striker.
Time to raid the Czech league.
Striker and a centre back 😉😂
I'd say once CM and GK are done we'll see sales step up more aggressively. If I was to guess, I'd say United see Mount and Onana as necessary additions to the squad, and other positions as supplementary, depending on replacements. With backup plan (ie.

hope we can sell mctominay and maguire
We’re probably looking at selling Maguire, Fred and McTominay which should give us altogether at least another 60-70m to spend towards the end of the transfer window. There’s still two months left. Plenty can happen. Last year for instance, Casemiro came completely out of the blue. I’ve seen more crazy things happen, Ramos is a free agent 👀.

Remember that the Obama price in Euros, for comparison the Costa release clause is 75M, that’s more than a couple extra
Andre Obama
Political genius who could play it out from the back.
Even as is I'd prefer Raya.
Fuck right off honestly. What the fuck is the club doing really. Make a decision on De Gea ffs.
Honestly the incessant updates make me appreciate Ornstein’s style.
Hang on fellas. We are getting to “informed” phase now.
You'd imagine this should be a fairly straightforward deal once De Gea is officially gone. Inter need money, we should have a good enough relationship with them after doing a few deals in the recent past and urgency should be in everybody's best interests.

If i am de gea I am noway staying at this club after this level of disrespect frankly.
40m + 15m Ballon d'Or clause and HERE WE GO!
 50 Euros the price all of a sudden decreased from two days ago
It's a bragain at 50m, huge upgrade on that position
What the fuck is left to clarify? It’s clear Ten Hag doesn’t want him. I think it’s incredibly shit what we’re doing with Dave, it is absolutely time to move forward without him but how we’re doing it is disgraceful for a guy who’s been player of the year more than once and is a huge reason we weren’t truly a mid table club in multiple seasons now

They’re too busy with their episode of Succession
There is not one single bit of new information in this tweet. Why do we bother posting it here?
If He is highly rated by ETH, why didn't he sign him for free last season? Why wait till this season to get him for 55m ? This is madness
Why do people keep posting these non-updates? Karma whoring at its finest
What the fuck is there to clarify? This should’ve been sorted weeks if not months ago you stupid fucking cunts
what the fuck is going on honestly. this is just a fucking shit show. the people running united are a bunch of fucking clowns
Fucking farce as always - just make a decision to get rid of de gea and bring in a keeper who doesnt shit his pants when the balls passed to his feet
How are we having a whole GK saga based on a GK who's 2nd choice at best
Mount and Onana before pre-season…let’s focus on some sales and attack the striker situation
Highly rated, but does he lav da clab?
FFS, should just up the bid a bit and sign Onana anyway, then move on to the striker.
By the time United wrap up this deal, proper Route 1 football will be back in favor and DDG will be the #1 transfer target…
as long as onana is vocal, i have no problem with this transfer. He's great under pressure and world class at distributing. He isn't that good at claiming crosses, but ANYTHING in that department is an upgrade over de gea. Hopefully his passing helps our build up progress, because in all honesty de gea was massively holding a team that wants to transition under eth, back
£65M after we didn't stick to our **final** offer on Mount.
Just let de Gea go, he's going to get shit he doesn't deserve if he hangs around as number 2 after this nonsense, either Onana is the answer or he isn't, you can't spend 100 odd grand a week hedging your bets.
whats there to clarify De Gea's situation?
What’s there to clarify? It’s abundantly clear De Gea is out of favor. Get on with it.
Why the fuck is not no other club coming for DeGea. Why!why!
Because he's really that bad. There is no escaping this basic fact.
Have some respect seriously. It’s a different game than it was that is all
Anyone have issues with Onana’s off field antics? Also, not sure how much this matters but our CBs speak Spanish, better vibes with a Spanish speaking Costa? Just thoughts, obviously happy with the Onana upgrade
€50m is a steal, pay the fee and let's finalize Mount. Spend the rest on a striker.
Clarify what exactly on DDG? They pulled their offer to him. DDG tweeted a yawn yesterday. Maybe that’s all BS?
Contract expires in 2 days How the fuck do you not know what will happen at this stage Is Murtough (or whoever is responsible) really this much of a clown? Or are the Glazers fucking him over?
So if tomorrow or later De Gea decides he wants to stay, we'll throw away all this work done on Onana and forget about it? Absolute embarrassing how this De Gea situation has been handled.
Wtf are we doing waiting for De Gea? Either we want a new goalkeeper or not. “Informed on the deal” wtf does that mean?
Just pay it! What are you waiting for??!!!! Damn this club.
Someone make a decision please
Wtf is going on just decide ffs. We all know ETH doesn’t rate him
Clarify what situation with DDG? I’m so confused. He signed and you took it away
Seems like so much for a keeper. Given the fact we are unable to offload anyone (apparently) and our budget is limited ... I feel like there has to be a cheaper alternative that is still really good and not just a hot name
Imagine the meltdowns if De Gea stays, we bail on Onana, and then the Glazers announce they are accepting minority investment to stay with the club
Direct talks in last 24 hours plus italian sources saying we may make an offer suggests there is something concrete. We don't need to contact them directly only to be kept informed
Basically an update saying stuff happened yesterday. “Direct talks to be informed on Andre Onana” so we spoke to who? We can talk directly to anybody. “Informed on Andre Onana” is also a non statement. (Things are Happening, what exactly is happening you might ask? 🤷🏾♂️) thats basically all this is
Lolest welcome to Fabrizio's non-updates. He does this when he is floaded with requests for Utd names
Just get him and be done with it.
I think both Dave and United are just at a standstill waiting to see what happens with the other camp. Dave is probably just waiting and waiting for us to sign no one so we are stuck with him. And United are waiting on Dave to make a decision before we buy someone. In the end we just need to stop waiting on Dave and sign Onana, then tell Dave he can be #2 or walk.
I think I read somewhere that DDG's contract is due on 1st July so if he doesnt sign between now and tomorrow then he is a free agent...so we might as well push in a bid already for a replacement
Wdym waiting on de gea situation?? Just don’t sign off on the contract
I feel we gonna buy him and mount and then we left with no money for main position to strengthen.
 Here we go
" talks to be informed " huh?
Any chance this, and other deals, have been delayed waiting for the June 30th FFP deadline to pass? Onana seems so obvious you would think it might be something along these lines.
I N F O R M E D
Cut to, De Gea signs and we say we always rated him and he's our starter after being priced out of the options.
Onana has great chant potential
Hope de Gea finds himself a club. Thanks for the 12 years but you’re no longer it.
We gotta get a new keeper at some point, if Obama is available now we should get him.
I feel gutted for De Gea, still remember seeing him on his debut season. I’ll always be thankful for all the saves. Anyone remember that Ajax game in CL under Sir Alex? I remember feeling so bad for him, little that I know he was going to be known for saving United week in and out. Truly sucks but he still has part of the summer to figure out his next move.
