Welcome to transfer Talking, Discussing Manchester United Tottenham West Time Sheppard United Ranges UNM Much more this hour.

It's a show.

Yeah, it's a It's a very, very busy deadline for the W W W S Alan, which closes certain three clubs trying to get a player before 5 p.m. myself on the ship.

Books and Cook will give you all of the details and you can tweet the show at Sky Sports News is using the halftime transfer talk.

You now know the latest transfer talk Focus right now available on iTunes speaker on the Sky sports website.

But we start with Manchester United's a disappointing night for them in the Premier Li losing two nil to Burnley at home.

Only gonna sell shot is overseeing the club's worst points tally after 24 games in over 30 years, and James Cooper is outside Old Trafford for us.

James are the board considering any change at this time?

No, they're not Tom.

It's business as usual for Mantis United, but obviously the environments not great.

You just talk about some of the stats there.

Let me add to those who look at David Moyes, who was sacked here in the April 10 months into his reign at Manchester United, will after 24 games he had 10 more points in only six more points than against OSHA has.

Right now you look at the situation.

He lost a Burnley last night well since always become the permanent manager here at Manchester United.

Burnley have won more games in the Premier League.

The Manchester United have said these leak ingredients but the other side of the coin, of course, is that they're fit in the Premier League.

They have slipped a little in their pursuit of fourth and yes, there is only four points between fifth and 14th.

But they also lost their second home game in the Premier League this season, so there's plenty of strange ingredients in this one.

I mean, the bottom line is this isn't good enough for Manchester United and it certainly isn't good enough for the fans.

They're making their presence and voice felt very much.

It was toxic inside Manchester United last night, pretty unpleasant with talk of killing and burning people on the board.

You could say it's not great but one thing I will say is that none of that kind of vitriol is being directed towards Allah.

Gonna sell show.

He's doing his best.

I think in many ways the carpet has been pulled from underneath him this season, particularly because of injuries.

You look a ballpark or not being there.

Marcus Rashford, Scotland Tom in a place that would make a major difference and then you hear him talking about his squad being stretched.

I think that would stretch is interesting.

I think it means it mentally and physically exhausted.

I think it also means number otherwise that Manchester United haven't got enough key players to come in and fill the holes left by those three players that I was talking about.

So nothing looks good for Manchester United at the moment.

I don't think anyone came to all traffic last night expecting them to lose to Bernie.

I think that's the problem.

The way things have gone, they've had a bad result much like perhaps livable and then got a good result.

I think United fans came here last night expecting did that to be the case that I was surprised by the level of performance and the fact that burly had a much better plan and executed it much better than Manchester United did.

So plenty there.

But the thought of doing anything in terms of the manager for Manchester United, they will support him.

They're trying to do that.

They're trying to bring players in.

This is for the long term.

Certainly at this stage, no suggestion that only gonna sell shot is even being thought about as not being manager of Manchester United, certainly from the boardroom.

But with all of that that you've said taking into account, how important is these next eight days with him wanting to strengthen his squad?

Yeah, you know, it feels like I've been asked that same question for the last three weeks, how important the next week and it's got worse, worse, worse.

But I think you know there is an opportunity, maybe just to change the narrative.

And I feel a little bit sorry for Bruno Fernandez.

That he's being hailed, Perhaps, is a central Portuguese messiah.

To change things around at Manchester United when he's 25 years old, has done quite well in Portugal, but it hasn't lit the whole place up, hasn't ever played Premier League football, but I think him coming will change the narrative and I think again it might just go down to the wire.

And that will kind of ramp up the tension even more on Manchester United by not bringing faces in because, you know, I think he wants to come.

I think Sporting Lisbon need the money, including Manchester United.

Want the player, too?

So I think you kind of say It'll suggests that things might go through a negotiation and come right down to the wire.

On top of that, they need a striker as well.

We saw that last night.

You know, Marcus Rations presence.

The scene has been incredible.

The best season he's had in the red shirt of Manchester United take him out of the equation on the gold threat diminishes.

They need to play that come in on be someone that can score goals alongside the likes of Mason Green with a nun, Anthony Marshall, who's miss crucial chances in back to back games.

So there is an opportunity to change things to bring players in.

But I think it's also perhaps expecting an awful lot of those players if they do come in to really change things for Manchester United.

I think what's interesting is I've been reminded that, you know, this is a rebuilding process.

It started last year with those three players coming in the window.

I think it continues.

I don't think they got rid of as many places they wanted to nor broads may players in on.

The suggestion is that Ali gonna social will be given time to make this his Manchester United.

But clearly, with each bad result, each or for statistic that were churning out together, that job becomes more and more difficult.

James, Thank you.

There has been a bit of transfer news from Manchester United in the last hour or so.

Nit.

It's more bad news.

As James was talking about into the land of rejected an offer from Manchester United, Simon feel that Matty's Pacino on loan.

That's according to Skye in Italy.

The two sides couldn't agree on the conditions off the deal.

Okay, so we don't know if they might go back in for him.

But Dave, tell the fans what sort of player is?

I think James mentioned it that with poor results comes more tension.

As we head towards deadline day for Manchester United, we had Fabrizio Romano of Sky, Italy on the transfer podcast on Tuesday.

She's still available to download Good episode on.

He was saying that Casino really isn't made for contest style of football.

He's not in his first choice midfield.

There's other midfielders.

The Inter Milan have been looking at their first looking at Archer over Dow.

Now switching their attention more to Christian Eriksen is that seems a more probable deal for Inter Milan to get done, He was saying.

That concept wants to play Sensi for L am.

Brockovich is his midfield three, maybe with a potential adult of Christian Eriksen.

In this in this window is a central midfielder has played on the rights of the central midfield.

Deep Lying has a terrific range of passing 28 years of age, though, so you wonder whether we're talking about transfer strategy on good morning transfers.

The fact that United went for young British talents in the summer, a player at 28 years of age does that fit in to that narrative?

Maybe no played with obviously Cavani in soirees with the Uruguay national team into announcement.

£20 million on him in 2017 from Fiorentina is known at Tumeric Show.

Sorry because he played under him at Empoli as one of two defensive midfielders while he was at Empoli on loan.

So he's known simmering.

She Oh, sorry.

There are a couple of links to Chelsea not so long ago with that connection there, so it seems like he's not made for contest.

I love football and they may be, would like to move him, move him on.

And that is why Manchester United have been looking at Yeah, they want a midfield export poppers Bean, injured so much this season, is talking about him.

His agent, Mino Raiola, says Manchester United have failed to match the French midfielders ambition since he rejoined the club in 2016.

This is what Raiola had to say to us yesterday.

Ambition from both parts is not being met.

The last year's let's be honest, let's talk about the elephant in the room.

So we need to see in the summer if Paul is still in the plans of Manchester United and if mentions, the night is still in the plans before.

But I'm not going to speculate around it down.

You want to sit down and talk about it.

You can't write.

My job is to listen.

God gave me two years in one month.

Okay?

All right, so if we take away, take what he said there and other things he said to us as well and made it sound like he's going in the summer.

Yeah, I think at this point is inevitable.

That ballpark book will leave in the summer.

We reported a line last week from Sky in Germany that said he is expected to leave Manchester United in the summer with a couple of really big names linked to him.

We have election night on the show last week who voice off the fan said.

It is really kind of sad state of affairs now.

They wish there was a way back for this player at Manchester United.

But it's just a bit of a like James said, in relation to Manchester night.

Toxic kind of environment.

And that is the word that is throwing up a lot with all proper and you know, this is a world class player on his day.

He is absolutely phenomenal.

We've seen glimpses of that Manchester United, but I think United fans probably wish there were more days off that but a lot of talk in the summer on this show particularly.

And we've barely seen him because of injury.

Seven Premier Li appearances.

A couple of those off the bench when United fans were excited that he was returning in December and then our injured again had to have surgery on his ankle.

So sad for the player and off.

Of course, he will want to be part of Manchester United back end of the season gearing up to the Euros.

He is well cut, winning with France, of course.

Look for me.

I don't know what you guys think that its value probably hasn't really decreased in a sense, because he hasn't featured a lot this season, so he hasn't really been part of the bad form of Manchester United and off the pitch is a player who has a massive profile, been very active on social media, he's got more followers and it's ground than Manchester United.

You know, he's one of added ass is leading footballers, so it'll be interesting to see what happens.

But I think it's a party of ways is inevitable come the summer, but when he is fit and he does play Mark.

There's no doubt that he is a top midfielder.

I find it fascinating that pool Popper gets so much stick.

Even though he's not playing for Manchester United.

It just seems remarkable that a player is the target of so many sort of, you know, toxic comments just because of the things he hasn't done, all the things he has done, all the things he said.

All the things he's done online.

Every time I've watched pull Popper, he's ran the game.

His statistics for running in the matches I've been specifically at have been superb.

I think he's a top class player.

Emma mentioned all the things he's achieved in his career.

There's no questioning his ability, particularly with the things he wanted.

Your dentist on with.

France will probably feature really heavily if he's fit in the summer in the European Championships on, there's be no surprise if he was one of the best midfielders in the tournament because he's got that quality S o.

I do feel really sorry for him that he gets that targeted by so many Manchester United fans and people within the media for not performing the way that people expect into.

But he's got a lot of quality, and I think when he comes back into that Manchester United side he will make a real difference.

And it seems a shame that they're gonna lose a player of this quality because it only seems now matter of time before Paul Popo is heading out of the Old Trafford exit particular off the back of his agent's comments there.

A lot of the criticism that's being leveled at Manchester United to transfer dealings has been at the lack of ah, sporting director or director of football.

That's something we put to Andy Mitten off United.

We stand earlier on on good morning transfers.

I don't think Josie Morino wants you want.

I don't think they're gonna want fun.

I don't think English football managers like the idea of having their power taken away on DDE bands of talks with some desperation about a sporting director and I asked that would would suit his face what is happening.

And he talked about a big scouting team and the football experts on dhe, the expertise within the football areas.

And if you look at some of the CVS and the people at Manchester United.

They're incredibly impressive.

They worked a very, very high level, but they're always gonna be judged on the players that they bring in on.

The recruitment in the post Ferguson era has been mediocre at best.

Explained it quite well.

They're on limiting James.

But can you understand why some fans do what Manchester United tohave a sporting director?

Absolutely.

I mean a sports direct's crucial if you get a chop and change managers like Manchester United have over last seven years.

I mean, we've seen four new faces since Sir Alex Ferguson to control.

What that means is you got four new managers that come in with different visions off where they see the club moving forward.

What the needs off the squad are a sporting director would have had that consistency throughout.

Those 70 has been able to work on a project regardless on who the manager is.

I think stability is Kit Man United.

If you're going to have a say, gonna put a faith into a league in a social, you're gonna give him the responsibility to bring in those players.
