⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Mayor of ogba]

I forgot the name of the source that reported about it, I saw it 2 days ago, but obviously with some positive situations at the moment, I'm pretty sure that we'll soon hear official news regarding a new contract for Carrick. There are no more excuses and no more considerations for the management. Carrick has fit in very well with the players and vice versa for the Man Utd players, in Carrick hands their game is much more organized. Just look at how dangerous their quick attacks are, and it's not easy to get a pattern of play like that.
The management needs to realize that if Carrick is released or waits until his contract is over just for a new contract, then don't be surprised if other teams approach him.

I'm not even interested to know about the source where you heard about Michael Carrick being given a three year contract because they aren't spreading authentic news, they are concerned in spreading rumours just to generate traffic on their website in order for them to make money. Manchester United board will name their new coach at the end of the season, so let's keep calm and watch how the story unfold. With what Michael Carrick has accomplished at Manchester United it's enough to say that he's the right man to become the next Manchester United head coach and Manchester United board doesn't have any reason not to give him a permanent deal unless they don't want him to become the next Manchester United head coach.

Marcus Rashford seemed happy at Barcelona, ​​but Barcelona may not be able to afford his transfer. Manchester United, on the other hand, is undergoing a restructuring and is rediscovering its magnificent performances with Michael Carrick. Perhaps after this season's performance at Manchester United, Marcus Rashford might want to return to the team and become captain. In that case, there's no doubt he would play a significant role in the Champions League next year.

The only player Barcelona would pay any amount of money for is Lamine. I don't think they'll pay that much for Rashford. I understand, they probably don't have much money. On the other hand, with things the way they are and seeing that Manchester United is going through such a great period, it wouldn't be a bad thing to return to a team where you're always being considered. That's why football is so unpredictable.

Giving Michael Carrick the manager role fully and supporting him is a good idea and many anticipate this especially looking at his stat since he took charge and their current position with the same squad two managers couldn't use.

Although I think he should be give like two years contract and if he perform well then the contract can be increased to about three or so years.

Impressive performance of Manchester United since Michael Carrick appointing as interim manager I think good ideas if management giving him permanent contract, coming from the middle standings position and right now Manchester United almost finish as 3rd standings team in Premier League is greatest achievement and why the management still doubt to pick Michael Carrick become permanent manager?
Coming as Manchester United new manager without recruit new players but Carrick success change the games plan and make several good rotation, I think bad ideas if management not extend Carrick contract and looking for the other manager for next season.

That's why football is so unpredictable.

At the start of the season, Marcus Rashford had essentially ended his Manchester United career, but his hopes could be rekindled with the new manager. If Barcelona doesn't sign him, instead of going on loan to another team, he might want to stay at Manchester United, where he had a good time, and become an important player under the new manager. He's a quality player, and I think the manager might want him in the team to strengthen his options.

Igor Thiago becomes the most underrated striker. He's the first brazillian striker that is ever scored more than 20 goals in EPL. That's why so many clubs are lining up to secure his signature. His performance is amazing at Brentford. I was also watching him frequently, and i can say he's quite consistent as a striker.

He could make even more than 30 goals if he was not missing so many big chances crated. This is why i think he's a striker that can work in a club with system. Recently, several clubs such as Juve, Chelsea, AC Milan and even Atletico Madrid are keeping their eyes on him.

This means he may be leaving from Brentford to step up his career. This current salary is around £75,000, and most probably to be doubled if he leaves from Brentford this summer.

Nevertheless, i put Atletico Madrid as the most prospect club for him to play. Chelsea is also ain't bad, but consider how terrible its management. So i think he has to find a club that can utilize him well.

Any opinion in what club he must play next?

As an Italian, I can assure you there is no way any Italian club would ever spend almost 100 millions for a player like Igor Thiago. At the end of the day, this is his first season scoring a lot of goals, he still has to prove himself in the future. And, as I was saying, nobody in Serie A would spend that money for that type of player. That type of spending is extremely rare. I'm not even sure Atletico Madrid would spend that money for him. Chelsea? Sure.

I have similar view with you about Igor Thiago's move this summer. Out of those teams linked to him, I would have preferred he goes to AC Milan but being an Italian team, I don't think they will have the mind to pay up to £80 million or may for such a one season wonder boy.  Chelsea seems to be the most prospective next stop by Igor Thiago because Chelsea is the only team that may be willing to pay such amount because of their urgent needs to improve their squad which is at the verge of collapse. Atletico Madrid is a very good option but he may not perform well in the team or could possibly have lower play time because of the presence of very good forwards like Ademola Lookman, Griezman, Alvarez and so on. Finally, Igor Thiago has improved very well indeed. What he needs now is consistency in order to remain on the limelight.

For me it's very simple: these prices don't make any sense. Igor Thiago is already 25 years old, of course he is not old but he's not even that young. He played well one season. Only another English team could think about paying almost 100 millions for him. Not even a club like PSG would pay that money. Just to make a comparison, Atletico Madrid paid the same amount of money for Julian Alvarez. Is there someone who thinks Igor Thiago is better than Alvarez? Bayern Munich paid Harry Kane, probably the best striker in the world, a little over 100 millions.

I don't think that Barcelona will be able to sign him in this summer transfer window because they are less interested in doing so if it's not free, which i believe that Manchester United will never agree to that, so if their is no deal before the end of the summer transfer market, he will be reintegrated into the team, even though it's Michael Carrick that is later made the permanent manager of Manchester United, because he is a top player that will definitely strengthened the option of the new manager as you have rightfully said, so they can never let him sign for Barcelona for free, because he is a quality player that just need confidence, in other to showcase his full potential.

No matter how good the player's performance at Barcelona is, if the status is only a loan player, don't expect much to be made permanent. Because Barcelona have learned from their mistakes in the past which are wasteful in buying players. Rashford can actually return to fight for a position at United if he seriously wants to follow the coach's wishes. Of course it's not easy, it's just that the options are now limited, unless Barcelona really needs Rashford.

I agree with you, ale88: it’s unreasonable to spend 100 million on a player who only had one good season and who, until three years ago, was barely making the grade at Ludogorets in bulgaria. He’s performed well as a player at Brentford this year, he’s physically imposing and debut in brasil national team, but that doesn’t necessarily mean he will maintain that form. Let’s not forget that Chelsea were able to spend 100 million on Mudryk from Shakhtar, which was clearly a bad signing. Spending money doesn’t always guarantee quality, just look at Juventus with vlahovic, arthur and douglas luiz.

[barbara44]

I think I have said this before, and am equally going to say it again that the best managers that can manage Manchester United very well is their ex players, up until now, since sir Alex Ferguson left the club, no other manager has done better than ole gunnar solskjaer, and they made a mistake last season by letting Van Nistelrooy go, instead they went and brought amorin that doesn't knows what it takes to be the manager of Manchester United, so the best decision the hierarchy of Manchester United can do is to sign Micheal Carrick on a two or three year deal. Michael Carrick has what it takes to lead Manchester United to glory, because his performance as the interim manager of Manchester United since he took over is very convincing.

I did not consider that type of thing, like ex-united players being better. That could be a true statement and could work very well for them. In any case, they found their best manager in recent years and doing a wonderful job without a doubt. It is not going to be easy to let him go, so they should definitely keep him. Not saying that he is the best manager in the world, but he is certainly the best manager they could get and that's the entire point.

They need to be careful about it because if they do somehow fire him, or not sign him for more, then they are going to get someone who is worse and then the wrath of all the fans of United will be on them. Ownership should realize, Carrick is their way out, and they need to keep him.

With what Amorim did, I don't think Manchester United will be too uninformed to give Carrick long contract on his first arrival. In case we forgot was given 2 and half year and this is when they gave him full contract when he was managing Sporting CP but he was dismissed and will be paid his remain contract because that was agreed. If they are to sign Carrick long time and don't know about his outcome, it means they are setting the club into uncertain financial mistake.

So far his performance is good, he has done more than what was deserved, even if the club has given him 5 years I don't see the result as a bad one but the problem with this coaches is that there first appearance is impressive until they become official, that's when you see them be playing what will not push the club again. Look at Chelsea and Maresca, first season was too good that he won the Club world cup but this season, the have sack him later.

The money Manchester United is asking Barcelona to pay in order for them to sign Marcus Rashford on a permanent deal is just £30 million, I believe Marcus Rashford didn't really impressed Barcelona board or head coach that's why they aren't willing to pay the £30 million Manchester United wants a transfer fee for Marcus Rashford. Even though Marcus Rashford return to Manchester United, Manchester United will sell him because they made it clear to Barcelona that if they aren't willing to sign Marcus Rashford for £30 million, he should return back to Manchester United so that they can sell him to other clubs that will be willing to pay the £30 million they valued him.

I think that after a strong finish to the season, Carrick will demand funding from management for new transfers. And since Rashford is on his wish list, I think he'll want to bring him back to Manchester United. And since Rashford had a conflict with Amorim, perhaps he'll be able to establish a good relationship with Carrick, especially since it's clear how well he gets along with the Manchester United players now. Therefore, I think Barcelona won't be able to pay large sums for Rashford because they're still facing significant financial difficulties.

That's what every manager that wants to succeed would do, some would even demand that they're given the money so they'll sign the players themselves but I'm aware that Manchester United have a team set aside for negotiations and buying of players however Carrick opinions on the kind of players he want would matter a bit too, that's if they give him the job.

 Concerning Rashford, I was feeling he won't want to go back since he decided to take a pay cut at Barcelona but since they qualify for the Champions League, he could change that decision and go fight for a spot at Manchester United, it could save them the stress of buying another winger but use that money to strengthen the midfield and defense, maybe another striker if Zirkzee leaves. The question is would Barcelona pay up? I doubt.

[Shussainshah]

Xavi Hernendes is out of Chelsea Plan. Xavi is looking for new chapter in the premier league.  I think Chelsea is not well suited for Xavi Hernendes tactics and also Chelsea management problems so Xavi is not ready to take that's risk. They only interest from the Premier Clubs is Manchester United.  What's do you think which team Xavi Hernendes can start a new chapter there in the premier league club.  ?

[Renampun]

I don't know if what I heard a while ago is the truth, haven't seen any official confirmation but I heard that Carrick has signed a new 3-year contract with Man Utd. It would be great if that really happened. After all he has brought a positive aura to Man utd in a short period of time, which surprised most people. Carrick will do a great job for next season and I'm glad Man Utd are back in UCL competition.

Until now, there has been no official statement from Man United regarding Carrick as their coach for next season.. at most, it's about the "green light" signal given by INEOS to Carrick to be their favorite candidate to become Man United coach, and that's all. so I think that we just need to wait for the final decision from Man United regarding their coach for next season. but what is clear is that Carrick is one step closer to becoming Man United coach.

He deserves to be given the permanent job as Manchester United coach. I am one of the people who doubted his capacity to bring the team out of the wood. But he has proved me wrong and also showed that he is mature to manage a big club like United. If INEOS are reluctant to give him a permanent deal, I am sure many clubs are monitoring the situation. Michael Carrick would not be out of job for a long time if United fail to give him the job. His extraordinary managerial skill brought back a dying club to life.

They only interest from the Premier Clubs is Manchester United.  What's do you think which team Xavi Hernendes can start a new chapter there in the premier league club.  ?

It seems to me Chelsea is finally reaching the level none of good coach will ever accept their job offer. It makes me think they're gonna be so struggle to find a good coach with their current management. Too many intervention happened from the board to the squad, which gave no confident to the coach.

So i'm kinda tired with any coach linked to them because whoever it is. Their job offer will always be denied. I think they won't find someone who proper enough to be their new manager even after the reason end. Unless their board will stop their stupidity, no coach has interest to coach them.

I'm seeing the only best solution is handover the club to the new owner.

It seems Man United is preparing for Casemiro's departure. According to sources, Manchester United wants to get Ederson. He is a defensive midfielder from Atalanta, 26 years old. But Atalanta reportedly wants €50 million. However, Man United seems to have to compete with Atlético Madrid to get him. Meanwhile, Ederson only has one year left on his contract. Not only that, Man United also wants Lyon winger Afonso Moreira. He is 21 years old and has performed very well with 8 goals and 11 assists in 35 matches. Reportedly, his price is €25 million.

Since last season, he has been rumoured to join Manchester United, maybe now is the exact time to see it happening. They have to get young players who can work alongside Kobbie Mainno and Bruno Fernandes in midfield.
That fee shouldn't be the issue, Manchester can have that sorted out, but they need to act fast especially in this particular transfer window.
We are going to need two to three midfielders and also defenders because we can not rely on this Harry Maguire I'm seeing, we need a competent Centre back with a lot of pace to his game. Harry Maguire is too slow for a big club like Manchester United.

[KTChampions]

It seems the rumor about MU to hand Carrick a permanent contract is just getting real. I think he deserves it after he is suddenly improving club's performance. His club went from mid table to the top table in matter of months after his appointment as an interim.

So i think his capability to handle the club shall not be doubted anymore. It's interesting to see what kind of squad he will build for the next season. It's because i also hear Manchester United is preparing around 150m to build the squad for UCL next season.

Several names already linked to them, but it's not yet clear what's gonna be carrick's choice. If they really hand him such budget, i hope he will go for Anderson.

The most obvious solution that for some reason was delayed for so long. Mourinho recently said that Carrick is the ideal candidate because he knows the club from the inside and understands what needs to be done. Like there are all the reasons to make him the main one and not a single one not to, what else do you need, dogs?  Thank God United's management made the right decision. As for next season's prospects, I'm cautious. 150 million is nothing compared to what Liverpool and City are spending. I'd be happy with a good performance in the Champions League and a top-four finish.
