Dreadful

Considering we have anothet 11 league games before the window opens.

I'm not sure how sensible it is to pin your Hope's for a climb up the table on 1 signing in the Jan window.
------------------

I think that one good creative midfield signing could see quite a big improvement in the team. Quite often in recent weeks we have created space and got in good positions, but have failed to make the killer pass to exploit that space. Whether or not we are able to make the quality signing that we need in January is another matter.

James Maddison looks to be our/one of our primary targets. Leicester are obviously going to be against selling him in January, but I really think that we should do our very best to get him then. Even if it means that we pay over the odds (as we always do anyway). It would give us a lift in the second half of the season and also allow him time to bed in ready for next season. Then we would need to make another 3 signings in the summer of the same caliber and we would look a hell of a lot stronger.

Irrespective of whether Ole has what it takes to win trophies at United, I am happy to give him time to rebuild this squad, as I think that he understands as well as anyone the kind of players that we need to be bringing in right now. If that means that we are a few players short for this season then so be it.

You 100% won't get him in January. Maybe next summer.

Yes, I can't see it happening in January. I've heard rumours that LFC are interested too, so maybe not even next summer. That said, I have also read that United, Leicester and Maddison's team expect that he will sign for United in the next 12 months.

I fully expect it to be United, although I wonder what would happen if Leicester did get CL this season and United didn't. I expect that he would still make the move. We were linked to him at Norwich and didn't pull the trigger then. I don't think we'll be in for him this summer bearing in mind what he'd cost, and the system he works best in. I actually think Sancho will be at the top of our list.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I think that we will be in for Sancho too. You will obviously be the favourites, but he is exactly what we need for the right side.

I tell you what, England have got some really good young players coming through. That Hudson-Odoi looks class. We really should be looking at getting to the finals of the Euros in the summer. Rashford is going to have his work cut out to hold on to a starting spot for England with those two. Then Abraham pushing Kane for his spot.

Even if Ole can cling on until the window opens, its Very unlikely we will get the quality we need in the Jan window.

We need far too many shots to score a goal and concede from very few shots. Thats been our main problem since March this year.

Look at Leicester City ruthlessly finishing off Newcastle United and Southampton while when we create the chances we miss them like they are gifts and then throw one in at the other end.

Normally top teams score from few shots concede from a lot of shots. Leicester City take very few shots per goal and need a lot of shots to concede.

Man Utd need tons of shots to score and concede from very few shots. That means either we are really unlucky or we just got really rubbish attackers meaning the opposition just need one chance to draw against us and they normally take it this season.

Its funny that the team who were 19th on expected goals win 0-9 away lol. Even before today they had scored 4 away goals to our 2 and we had over 3 higher expected goals away stat than them but scored 2 less so they were 5 goals better expected than us.

If we had Leicester City level of finishing we would be title challengers as we create far more chances than they do and concede next to no chances against us.
