Transfer News/ Rumours as at 17th of July: Manchester United Snubbed, again!

Cristiano Ronaldo – not sure but likely not coming, Gareth Bale – also most likely not coming. Those are the two big marquee names during this transfer window for Manchester United but it seems they are way off the lists. Thiago Alcantara was supposed to be David Moyes 1^st signing before the pre season starts. He preferred to link up with his former manager Pep Guardiola at Bayern Munich instead. Manchester United then turn their attention to Cesc Fabregas with a formal bid in the region of more than £25 million. The latest news had Cesc Fabregas and Barcelona insisting that no transfer will happen as Fabregas is staying.

 

This leads to papers continuing to speculate, with Marouane Fellaini the next. Also speculated was another improved bid for Leighton Baines. Luca Modric is another name linked.  So we have Guillermo Varela and Wilfred Zaha as the only new signings for the new season. While we do trust that David Moyes and Manchester United are working hard to secure new signings the increasing trend of targeted players snubbing Man Utd has fans feeling let down. David Moyes does have the reputations of turning average players into good players and maybe he should just concentrates on his judgement of players whom he actually wants. Fellaini for a start will not be disappointing as Manchester United squad urgent needs is midfielders with Paul Scholes retired and Darren Fletcher suffering from illness.
