Rashford have already stated that his preferred position is the no 9 position. Like I said earlier, every strong team ought to have quality on the bench too. If Perisic comes, it will affect both Martial and Rashford because then Martial will need to really step up his game.. Ultimately, the club comes first. We can't be making decisions based on whether Martial will like it or continue sulking. This is Manchester united not Martial United.
He z got bags of potential but he needs to be consistent.
Have u looked at Manshity's bench of recent? Am hoping that if Perisic comes, he will deliver for us and it will affect Martial and Rashford in a good way. Plus he can play on the right too.
Lol! This Perisic sef I hope he is as good as you guys say and not the occasional stuff or what you read on some sites or blog for you to be defending him like this. Well I'm not against his coming, but there's every possibility he struggles in England and gets a permanent sit on the bench.

Rumours Draxler might be available. Would definitely be better than Perisic in my opinion.

I personally don't believe a player is special if he's involved in his first big transfer at 28.

d only advantage draxler has over perisic is age. he is younger. aside that, perisic is by far better. or perhaps u r being deceived by his recent exploits in d German team

OK I get it. but big transfers happen mostly when manutd, chelsea, barca, real Madrid and possibly arsenal PSG and Bayern
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Whiteshades(m): 11:20am On Aug 16, 2017
Seems the transfer window would close before the beginning of EPL next season. I think that's a great development so clubs can exactly know their squad for the season before the season starts.

OK I get it. but big transfers happen mostly when manutd, chelsea,, barca, real Madrid and possibly arsenal PSG, mancity and Bayern r concerned. any player that doesn't catch d eye of any of these clubs will never have a chance of experiencing a big transfer. dat doesn't mean such players r not special.

requilme was a special player but never had the luxury of a big transfer.

5 years younger with similar goal record. Could maybe improve fitness record. But he looks like he's still improving. Cannot say the same for Perisic.

Inter and dortmund have both won European cups, uefa cups, and have paraded more world class players than the gunners! Inter even has more individual trophies than assnal! Inter has 18 league titles and 3 champions league titles! Dortmund to a lesser extent has 8 league titles, one champions league, one uefa cup winners cup and one intercontinental cup!

Stadia wise dortmunds capacity is 81000 plus while inters is 80000 plus while arsenals is a measly 60000 plus! I can accept maybe dortmund being marginally smaller than arsenal but definitely not inter! Arsenal are local champions of london....in footballing terms dem no reach!

I think jose prefers to buy experienced players that would give him a short term success which will in turn ginger d club to extend his contract and he can them subsequently draft in young/potential world beaters. last season he bought two experienced players and two young players. this season he has bought two young players and one experienced (old) player. he might want to go the same way as last season

If you look at all of Mourinho's signings so far, especially this season you will see he is targeting specific traits in specific players, not just names.

He is buying system players and in Perisic it is quite obvious he wants an old school out and out winger, who is creative, can whip in a good cross(a skill that surprisingly seems to be hard to come by these days) and at the same time with good work rate.

All the other options are very different players from Perisic.. Marhez even draxler.

The only other person I could think of like this is Bolasie and maybe Zaha. Neither of which should be a regular for a club like United.

Perisic would have been a very good addition to the squad.
Its just a shame inter want unreasonable money

trophies are the only thing Barcelona have more than Madrid, so that is arguable

arsenal are not only bigger in terms of trophies, but in fan base, wealth and history, it is an insult to put Dortmund in the same sentence with arsenal

inter Milan and Dortmund, what do they have over arsenal?

Bigger than Inter Currently or in recent times? Yes.

But historically, as in prestige, rich history? No fuvkin way. Them no born Assnal well for that category.

You can't judge by trophies alone. Inter Milan based on club history and prestige is bigger than Arsenal.

parading world class players doesn't make you bigger, currently man city and Chelsea boasts of more world class players than man untied but they know their mates. by the way, how have Dortmund paraded more world class players than arsenal?

Aston Villa, Nottingham forest, Ajax are champions league winners

we are not seriously using stadium size as a yardstick to judge who is bigger, are we? man city have a bigger stadium than Bayern Munich, we know who the bosses are between the two

over all trophies won, arsenal tops them
fan base, arsenal tops them
wealth, arsenal tops them

This pattern is very much okay, because if Mourinho decides to go with youths all through, lack of experience will affect the team. Rebuilding with young players that can give us many years of good football together with one or two experienced players will balance the equation.

Like the number of great players that the clubs have churned out or had played for the clubs. The exploits of the clubs at the biggest stage outside their league. Arsenal have underwhelmed outside EPL.

English league is the most watched league and the richest too, and therefore you'll expect fans of top English clubs to be bigger than the rest of other leagues clubs.

That's why I think Arsenal is bigger than them currently, but if there's any legit club ranking based on past achievements or history, Inter would definitely top Assnal.

arsenal has no prestige when it comes to world football. and when we r talking world football in relation to clubs, we r talking UCL, forget FIFA world club cup bull crap.

any european team that has never won d UCL , no matter its wealth or fan base is just a wannabe big club. for u to be among the so called big clubs, u must rank with them in terms of everything. money, fan base, trophies won(not numbers but the quality of the trophy). arsenal mancity and PSG r big clubs wannabe while ajax and inter can be termed big clubs
