Age of players

Has anybody else noticed the trend of describing the age of players United sign differently to other clubs.

Casemiro is 30, but multiple times posters on this board have described him as turning 31 this season. I’ve even just read something online saying he’s 32 next season. So he’s 30 then

It’s like how suddenly agents fees and wages are included in our transfer outlays now.

Is he slightly overpriced? Yes. Is he exactly what we need? Also yes. That’s all I care about.

If Casimero was 34/35 then some of our cretins would have a point. The same cretins who no doubt have been screaming for a decent DM for the last ten years.

I don’t think it’s his age that’s the concern as such. It’s the reports of decline and the fact that he hasn’t much left to achieve in the game.

Real fans have commented that he’s not as good as before. Hopefully it’s rubbish but the same murmurs were there with Varane.

Tbf, that's not just a United thing. Every time I see the supposed cost of Haaland I'm convinced they've included his projected fuel costs, supermarket shopping bills and mortgage payments into the deal

Harry Kane will be in his 31st year at the end of the season and no one calls him old and past it. Is it because he is English?

He's not the engine room of the team though. Everyone knows CMs and DMs cover the distance ,no more so than in the PL.

Plus age has nothing to do with diving ability.

Depends what sort of diving your talking about

Same happened with us signing Koulibaly who is about 3 weeks older than Van Dijk.

Most likely jealousy. Most of them wouldn’t have anything negative to say about Casemiro as a player before this move was spoken about.

It’s absolutely fair to look at the age of a player, given the absolute mess of a transfer policy the club have had in recent years.

If you’re a Liverpool fan then you can be told to sit down and shut up, as Klopp has got it right time and time again.

If you’re a United fan you have every right to pick holes in each transfer because the club have shown themselves to be entirely incompetent.
