While Liverpool have won the race against Manchester United to sign Roberto Firmino from Hoffenhiem. The Red Devils’ main focus is on defense.
Lately, Louis van Gaal’s side have been heavily linked with Real Madrid superstar Sergio Ramos to reinforce their back line.
As previously published on the site, United plan to make an insane move to secure the services of Ramos but signing him from Los Blancos is easier said than done.
Another La Liga, star who has been right up there in the list of defenders United are looking to strengthen their central defense is Valencia’s Nicolas Otamendi.
The Argentine star is currently in Chile with the national side for Copa America but wants his future with Valencia sorted out soon.
According to reports today in Spain by Fichajes, Otamendi is desperate to leave Valencia while Manchester United are trying to reach agreement with the player to announce his signing soon.
However, it is claimed that no matter what, Valencia are not ready to budge on the asking price of €50m which is Otamendi’s release clause. United have to act swiftly if they are serious about signing him because now Manchester City are linked with the South American as well.

please vangal sign this player you never regret it loosing this player again to riavel city is a big shame, please sign him
Please Van Vaal, dont be like Wenger who always have very many targets and at the end of the day the deal will be hijacted by another team. Please sign this player. You should have made him the first choice than Ramos because Ramos is a walking red card man.
Am sick and tired of this man so called van Gaal plus ogbeni woodward they are really showing their incompetency to the utd faithful….. I wonder if we can challenge for the tittle next season…
Why Ramos over otamendi for God sake at 29 in d next 2 seasons he will be off the pace and yet Mr van gaal is opting for Ramos take Van persie as an example before splashing out such ridiculous amount on an ageing player who has less than 3 years in him….. Gush!!!!
They will never get both, mark my words. Just look at how they handle Firmino which Liverpool stole from us. Another one will be Schneiderlein. This Woodward guy is simply not in the league of the previous guy he replaced.
I wonder what Van Gaal and Woodward are doing concerning the transfers. For the past 2 transfer windows we were found in the situation where we were linked up with a lot of players but in the end we end up losing the targets to our rivals.And I really find it lame to securing Ramos’ signature than Otamendi because Ramos is a red card walking man. Pliz sign Otamendi instead of Ramos!!
What a shame to woodward….common liverpool could beat a whole united to signing of firmino….short of words
Man utd was never interested in firminor so pls stop adding to such rumors,we av too many attacking mildfeders right now,wat we needed isn’t firmino we we already av dempy,the only problem i av with media is dat they help u guys at times to see the unreasonable and say the unthinkable,man u isn’t interest in ramos either,cos he want out,the media has now said he may be used as part deal for de gea,pls came down
Imagine statements like dis ”Turan’s agent Ahmet Bulut revealed that he is in talks with three Premier League clubs. The agent decided it would be wrong to name the clubs but then went onto say that his client would only accept a move to a club playing Champions League football which whittled down the potential candidates down to four” .What now resulted to four,who did the mathematics,am sick of the press.
United should go for Otamendi instead of Ramos…Ramos is a trouble-maker.
With all the money in the world, Utd can’.t sign. It’s a shame! Otamendi, Griezman, Verratti. Fabinho, Kane, Arda Turan, Koke are the players we would to at Utd.
According to red cards given to Sergio Ramos many time so Otamendi Nicolas is better for Utd put money and bring him to OT earlier
What a shameful is this we lose firmino for liverpool know otamendi i don’t know why man u are doing such thing,man u are among the top 3 richest club in the world money is not our problem we have it but why refuse to spend it in a reasonable way,we know our problems and van gaal know who deserve to play for man u, we lack good defence,we lack midfield even attacking we lack but why man u are doing such thing other club are there ready focusing on their transfer but man united are just sitting yet another transfer is done.
With all the money dat will have, Utd can’.t sign. It’s a
shame! Otamendi, Griezman,
Verratti. Fabinho, Kane, Arda
Turan, nicolas gaitan, ramos, benzema, dat’s al”all the players shuld be@ man utd
Aclise we have the money..lvg nd woodward shuld not be 2 slow with transfer market…please sign good player for us”time is goin
Why Is Louis Van gaal and Edwoodward doing this?? Pls Let Sack this stupid Edwoodward, foolish man, We need Otamendi and Not troublesome ramos, and we need to buy players earlier so that they will know and understand each other style of play, Imagine Liverpool have bought almost 5 to 6 players while we are still in memphis Depay only, pls i need nicolas Otamendi, morgan schneiderlin and alexandre Lacazette.
Aclise we have the money..lvg nd woodward shuld not be 2 slow with transfer market…please sign good player for us, now dat we have qulify for the champions league, we most chalenge like.Barcelona,real madrid,chelsea,man city,Baryern munich, juventus,atletico madrid, and other’club..please time is goin oooh
To my suprise, I find it difficult to believe that Man Utd fans could posting all this sort of things. @Martins is the only one that displayed a true character of a United fan through his comment. Pls my fellow Man Utd fans, Try and understand what transfer rumour and gossip is all about. Try and understand when a club is going for a player and when a player was linked by media to avoid heart attack. Thanks
What is Man Utd waiting for to sign Nicholas Otamendi?..; Action is what we want; Ramos can play another defensive role apart from center defence b’se he is a flexible defender. Where is Arda Turan, Lacazatte, Kane and Morgan Schneiderlin?; Thanks.
I can see the scenerio where teams, agents and players use man utd to to either sell players or get better deals from elsewhere or improved contracts. I never believed we would buy Firmino…..here’s a guy whose value was in the region of 10 to 14M being purchased by ‘pool just to get one over their rivals.
Van Gaal should get Otamendi deal done while trying for Ramos…..there are players i believe would make it big at United….Lacazette and John Stones, i think we should buy them.
utd is wasting time they are scouting for other epl teams. mr wood u r a waste thanks.
Am sorry to say dis,dsame way LVG is so weak to stand on his feet when a match is going on,dsame way he is too weak in transfer market,LVG pls get me dis 3players and forget Names, Otamendi,Higuain and sweinsteiger/Gundogan and we are good to go. Forget names
When the authority are not focus, this is always the case. Get good defence and midfielders wit one dangerous striker like baca nemar or we will be @ the botom next season.
yes man u are stalling on buying in quality players. if they dont buy in quality playes they will finish out side
the championship league and fail to get into the last 4. Jones and smelling will be injured for most of the season
and then we rely on rookies. Buy in 2 quality certre backs. Is man u being used as a bargaining tool by agents and players to improve their contract.s. It look like that.
