I'm hearing rumours that Calvin Bassey is on a short list of Manchester United signings. Don't think it's a secret they need defensive reinforcements!

DoB all over media. Same re Tillman.

Was told last night, not seen any papers or reports this morning. Decent signings for them to be honest, probably what they need just now to steady the ship.

I saw a report linking United with Bassey and Collins from Brentford .They would both improve the current United defence, that's a pretty low bar, but I think that these rumours reflect where United are both on the field and financially, In years gone by neither would have got anywhere near a United team .It will be interesting to see how much they cost if it happens .

I keep thinking back to what Jose Mourinho said when he left about Man United won't have success while certain players are there and Bruno Fernandez was one of the players rumoured so many managers have come and gone some decent managers too and yet they are still toiling and Bruno is still captain now i'm not saying there's any truth in it but its a bit of a coincidence if you ask me.

He's at his level imo with Fulham. Don't think he's the level Man United need personally. If they keep buying mid table Prem players they are going to stay mid table in the prem.
they need to find a way to get back to the same table as Liverpool Chelsea and city. Easier said than done though and maybe bassey might be a stop gap till they get back there.

Bassey is one of the best defenders in one of the best leagues in world football. In his prime at 26. Captain of his club, rapid, strong as an ox, unbelievable passing range(with a consistent 90%pass completion ) he's actually in the top 3 Premier League defenders for passes completed so far this season while playing out from the back.
Man United would be lucky to have him. Inter Milan, Dortmund and Newcastle are also showing an interest.

One of the best defenders is a bit of a stretch Rwn given that Fulham are languishing in 15th in the EPL. Don't get me wrong I'd have him back at Ibrox but if he was that good he'd surely be an Arsenal, Man City, Barcelona, Real etc before now.

He's definitely better than Maguire in a high line, And love Tillman.

He's an improvement on Maguire 100% but it's down to where Man United want to be as a club. Would he get a game at Liverpool, Arsenal, city? No. And Man United keep sacking managers that don't get close to them and if they keep signing players that don't get them near then they'll continue in the cycle.
For me Bassey is just below the elite level CB in the league top 15 but not anywhere close to the top 5.

Foolmonty how can he get to the teams you mentioned without being sold to one of them 😂. Make it make sense.

Bassey he improved his game massively since being a Rangers player, one of better left footed cb's in the league.

I'm sorry, but Manchester United just isn't as big a club as it once was, and I genuinely think that in 5–10 years their global standing will diminish even further if something doesn't change. What kid growing up today, watching Barcelona, PSG and Real Madrid, is going to turn around and say, "Dad, can I have a Manchester United shirt? " They'll always be a massive club because of their history and fanbase, but being one of the biggest clubs in the world is a different story.
If they go another 10 years without winning anything major, I honestly don't see how they maintain that status. The damage is already being done, and it's the next generation of supporters they should be worried about.

Foolmonty, they're 15th because of lack of goals. They've conceded less goals than Man City who are in 3rd🤷. So do teams such as Arsenal, Real Madrid etc never sign players who are 26yrs old or over that are playing with teams such as Fulham? Start of the season Arsenal bought 28yr old Guimaraes from Newcastle and 29yr old Konsa from Villa.
Saying he'd already be at a top club doesn't really hold up. Those top teams you've mentioned buy players of all ages from lesser teams on a regular basis.

I think there is no doubt Bassey would bring something others don`t have in that Man Utd defence and he would be first pick He has pace and physicality and a great attitude but whether he could make a difference playing alongside guys like Yorro , Dalot , McGuire , Heaven and of course Martinez is doubtful .More likely that he would get dragged down to their level . Your point about buying experience is absolutely correct and is amazing to think they paid the same amount for the young boy Yorro as Arsenal paid for Konsa ,an experienced England international. Its like so many clubs , including us , scattergun recruitment soon has a negative affect on the team .
