Manchester united is not good in doing transfer business, they always buy players at over high price and let them go free when they are worth less. It is not only Manchester United that is in this bracket, every other clubs in England are victims of this. It was only Arsene Wenger of Arsenal that understood the business and it was going fine for him.
Manchester United are that way for two reasons, one is that the transfer market in football this days has gone abslolutely crazy, clubs now place an outrageous valuation on their players, in a bid to make sure they get the most out of them, and two because Manchester United are a deperate club, they have not won the league in a long while, they have changed managers a lot in the last couple of season, and now they are just 'ticking every box' in the hope that one works out for them, and when it doesn't, they are left with egg on their face and they sometimes have to sell the players for very less.

Having said that, you can't compare what Wenger was doing at Arsenal then, with what the situation of the market is now, if you take that approach, i'm afraid you'd not win any trophy, and would prolly struggle to even finish in the top four, this days you can't even get average players for a cheap amount, you have to spend money to stay at the top, that is the reality mate.

@abhiseshakana I believe that Martial will be the main striker and not Ronaldo, and Sancho and Anthony will support him and at this stage I’m not even sure where Rashford fits in. Furthermore Ten Hag need quick player’s, and therefore I don’t think that Ronaldo can be in the starting lineup and even if he stays then he’ll only be used as a super sub or he’ll only make it to the starting lineup in case Martial is unavailable.
But in the last few games that United have run, Ten Hag's focus is still on Rashford, not Martial or Ronaldo.
At the moment it seems Ten Hag is quite comfortable in its 4-2-3-1 scheme which in the last few matches has gone very well and can win the match.
But maybe next week's match will be different because Antony is already at Old Trafford, so the possibility of 4-3-3 will be an option.

Ronaldo was originally a winger but now he has transformed into a goal machine with a position as a center forward, so both Ronaldo and Antony can play together at the same time. Despite the complexity of the current situation between Ronaldo and Man United, I think the trio of Ronaldo, Sancho, and Antony seems to be the most promising composition. Sancho and Antony are wingers who have speed and they both have good dribbling and penetration movement, while Ronaldo can be a target man because he still has a sharp goal-scoring instinct.

This is perfect. This is exactly how it's been played inner my head this is how I picture then playing, then, in case of injuries they can Introduce whoever Marcus Rashford, Antonio Martial and Elanga possibly Garnacho.
Antony and Sancho are both good creative player's, one on the right and the other left, it'll be difficult for opposite side to get hold of the game, if both ways are not working then you see Bruno Fernandez and Erikson cooking long range shot's into goal. I've been waiting all long for this kind of team.

I'd really be grateful if they can also get a back up player for Diego Dalot and Tyrell Malacia, coz as for me, Luke Shaw not even sure enough to be a back up player.

Ronaldo will soon depart from Manchester United according to his wish. Erik's vision for the new generation of players of Manchester United won't include Ronaldo, I think. Cristiano Ronaldo had wished to play for Chelsea but got turned down because he's old and not fit for Chelsea. But the recent game where Chelsea lost 1:2 to Southampton might change that. Chelsea is in no position to be demanding as their striker position is shoddy as hell. As long as Ronaldo doesn't go for Liverpool then I'm okay with that. A nice part away between Ronaldo and Manchester United, everyone's happy.
His agent was still trying various effort to attract chelsea to buy ronaldo. I saw that how hard his agent was trying. The problem is chelsea may also in hurry to bring back another striker from another club as well. The chance for ronaldo to join with chelsea is very small at this moment.
Im feeling doubt if that's gonna happen with ronaldo. How difficult ronaldo to get a new club. Sporting lisbon can also become the new club for him as long as he will be in free transfer which is impossible for now.
Ronaldo has no a lot of options for this. Many clubs have been rejecting him in a row.

Now, a coach brings in Antony from Ajax with a fantastic transfer, and for sure the Ronaldo position is so vulnerable,
Ronaldo is a center forward (CF), while Antony is a right-winger. So, how can Antony make Ronaldo's position vulnerable?
Martial and Rashford are the competitors for the CF position. But these players can play at some positions, so Ronaldo should be the first option if he can maintain good performance.

By the way, Man United now can have the formation of young attackers (Antony-Sancho-Rashford). Looks very convincing for Man United future.

Ronaldo no longer has a future as a football player, but it is possible that he still has a future as a football coach, as has happened to some football players who have an old age they usually retire and choose to become coaches, but with a bad side Ronaldo at the end of his adventure in football made many big clubs think more about attracting him.

I think you misjudged Ronaldo, he is an extraordinary player and he still has the physical and stamina that is still fit at his age. it's just that his desire to leave Old trafford made his performance unstable. in fact, until now the management of man united still maintains ronaldo until the end of his contract ends.
I'm sure, Erik has a plan and strategy for Ronaldo and the newcomers. Currently, Erik has brought in several new players who are predicted to help the Red Devils' performance get better.
So let's see, if erik can bring the red devil squad in a better direction or not.

Antony's transfer to United has finally been completed today. 100 million. That is really a lot of money. I don't mean in society specifically, but especially when you consider what the top strikers in the world would cost right now. Messi, Ronaldo, Mbappe.. Would Antony belong in that list do you think? Ronaldo and Antony together in the striker, I wonder if Ronaldo is still hungry for that, even though Antony is a winger. Is there actually anything known about Ronaldo? The deadline is getting closer and closer. He seems to be in a split. He wants to leave United, but no one else can pay his salary. United are still one of the richest clubs in the world.

There is very little left before the transfer closes, maybe there will be some surprises or maybe not, we'll see.
As for prices, you can roughly look at a case like Mbappe: he was originally bought for 180 million (annual lease + transfer upon its completion). Then he extended his contract with PSG, receiving a signing bonus of 150 million, a salary of 57 million (after taxes) and the opportunity to receive another 150 million in bonuses. Thus, from 2017 to 2025, PSG spent/will spend 480 million on Mbappe without even a salary. If you take into account the salary, then the amount will be close to a billion.

Ronaldo is still the best footballer of all time despite the situation at Manchester United there is still no argument that he is the best. I know he's aged and his performance level has dropped but that should be normal right? Too many critics these days against Ronaldo for a player who loves the club but is only watching out for himself as he has just a few years left under his belt before retirement.
Actually, in this case I still see that it is not the performance that has been criticized lately and even that is not criticism in my opinion because it is still in the context of discussing the future that he will do.
We know that he is one of the players who is still above average now despite his age but this does not mean that he is a bad player with the quality he is now.
Antony arrival to Manchester will automatically make Ten Hag have a mainstay to spearhead the front line and judging by Ten Hag deteriorating relationship with Ronaldo, of course Ronaldo will be removed by Ten Hag later, now the transfer market has entered its last day and there is no clarity on the future of Ronaldo certainly makes us quite curious, but I personally really want to see Ronaldo can collaborate with Antony later in Manchester, whether it happens or not of course only time will tell Grin

That's exactly right! We should welcome changes, that's what process is all about. In the same way, no big club expressed interest in him during this summer's transfer window. In some ways, it seems surreal to see Cristiano play in the second tier of European club football, but that's just life. It is impossible to remain at the top of the heap forever. Whether you are a player or a coach, best of luck to you!

Manchester United also sealed deal's for Newcastle goal keeper to as to get David De Gea some competition.

I mean this is just dumb though. De Gea has made so many saves last season when the team were doing so bad with Maguire on the field and if it wasnt because of him, we would have ended at top of 10th place for sure. De Gea is pretty much the top choice when it comes to goalkeeper, he might not be as good as his prime but he is still a top notch goalkeeper especially when you have a sucker defender like Maguire ( glad that he is being replaced for the last two games )
Buying a new goal keeper is a good decision, I think De Gea is aged and is getting weaker, we can see it in his performance last season and this current season. A lot has changed, the De Gea I know before is far better than the De Gea now so in this best interest of the club it is time for a change and time to plan for the future. Bringing in a new goalkeeper will add better options in that position and will bring competition to De Gea probably make him improve.
De gea is a good goal keeper and he has being the savior of Manchester United since their seasons of poor performance. I have read somewhere that De Gea has some eye problems and that is why he makes some silly mistakes. He needs a good backup. My problem is not that Manchester United is going for a new keeper, but why did they send Henderson on a loan?

100 million euros for Antony is the current megatransfer and the second biggest transfer history at Manchester United. Antony himself is a potential easy player who is able to give extraordinary play to the team he is defending. Antony is in the position of Winger who will break the deadlock of the attack on manchester united. in 82 matches Anoty managed to score 24 goals and produce 22 assists with Ajax. Antony himself is Erik Ten Hag's main target because Antony is no stranger to the Manchester United coach and this is a reunion for Antony and Ten Hag at Old Trafford.

I see AC Milan towards the close of the transfer window this season they are very active to strengthen the AC Milan squad. Recently I saw Maldini and Massara managed to sign Schalke new defender Malick Thiaw with a price tag of between 5-10 million euros. I'm sure the player brought in by Maldini will not disappoint and the arrival of Thiaw will strengthen AC Milan defense sector this season. In addition there are rumors that Maldini and Massara want to bring in one more player to strengthen AC Milan midfield at the end of this transfer window, they are chasing Aster Vranckx from Wolfsburg with rumors that an agreement is almost reached. with the lack of a budget that was disbursed but Maldini was able to bring in quality players that was the greatness of the figure of Maldini.
AC Milan have done well in their transfer dealings this summer to strengthen the squad. I'm positive the new players will make good additions to the team and it seems like they are not done yet, they are still aiming to add one or two more before the window closes which in my opinion will really boost the squad for the rest of the season until January. I heard they are chasing Wolfsburg's Aster Vranckx as well

It is seeming more unlikely that Arsenal will add another player to the ones they have at the moment because they have made about Five signings so far in the transfer market,adding Zinchenko and Gabriel Jesus of Manchester city,with Fabio Viera and Marquinos,they might have thought they have signed enough and won't want to sign again,but as far as I know,the premier league is just starting,and most of their players will nurse injury,like Elneny,Thomas Partey and Zinchenko have done.Currentky now,they are short of midfielders because three have suffered it already,leaving only Xhaka and Inexperienced Lokonga in that middle of the park,and they will be facing Aston Villa tomorrow in midweek game.
Fabio vierra might see his first game English game for the team because Arteta might decide to pair him with Odegard and Xhaka.And if they fail to sign two players this season,it will really be hard for them.
Thomas Party was injured during training, giving Mohammed Eleny a chance to play in the Premier League this season. Arteta has stated that both Party and Zinchenko may not be available against Aston Villa tomorrow, so Elenny will have a chance to prove himself to the team in order to secure a start for some Premier League matches, because he is better than Lokonga in my opinion, and Elenny and Xhaka have played for a long time, so they understand each other better.
At the moment Elneny is out injured. Elneny's injury is being assessed and it is not yet known how long he will be out of action, but initial indications suggest he could miss a substantial chunk of the season. So Arsenal have lost both Thomas Partey and Mo Elneny to injury. As for Zinchenko, Zinchenko is ready to return to the squad for game against Aston Villa. So the midfield position will be occupied by Sambi Lokonga today against Aston Villa in Elneny absence. It’s not convincing enough, that’s why Arteta needs to get someone before the season ends.

From this list I think only Manchester City, Barcelona and Arsenal transfer that's really successful because they're improved a lot with their new players.

Honestly PSG didn't even need to sign Messi and Neymar because in Ligue 1 there's no clubs that can compete them, PSG could win easily with Mbappe, Di Maria, and Ramos. But they're just want to create a fan club, so they sign a popular players and it make PSG become very popular club. However I think even though they spent a lot money, they're already generate more money from advertisement and marketing.

A lot of people hate him because of his bad performance with high salary.
Do you know how his performance last season?
Yes I know, I just compare him between a current session where to have bad news, failed transfer, and been sulky which affected for his performance this year. Now, as you said, MU has a new young formation attacker (Antony-Sancho-Rashford)which I think is good for regeneration. but they are still untested because I've seen both (Sancho and Rashford) before that aren't suitable for the front together except if Sancho bit to back.
The context is not a comparison because you said the performance was poor lol.
Antony last season still played very well with his position as a fielder and became a good supplier for Haller at that time.
Now that United have Ronaldo and Rashford up front, it could be good for United by placing Elanga and Antony on the wing and Ronaldo or Rashford in the center forward to make the trio the focus of scoring goals.
