0:00 Manchester United need a new goal scorer this summer and there isn't anyone more prolific than Victor Guarez. I mean literally he's leading Europe's golden boot race. Now United know the price for Gokuarez and how much he will cost. But there is one big elephant in the room that we need to talk about. This is how United can sign Guarez this summer and this is likely the only way that it happens. Yes, people. Let's have a conversation here about Guarez. And it may well be the only conversation that we have depending what happens against Spurs in Bill Bao on Wednesday. I want to have a conversation. I want to chat about him. I think Liam Dilap is United's main target, but is there a possibility that United could sign both? I just want to talk about it. I'm not saying it's going to happen, but I think this is the only way that it can happen. Let's have a conversation.
0:46 We now know that Guyarez is he's got a price tag of 65 million euros max. That's what Fitzioano said. Basically, the long story of it, long and short story is he's got 100 million euro release clause, I believe. Uh but an agreement with Sporting that he can leave for less than that because he stayed at the club Jan in January. He stayed at the club during the summer. He's now, I suppose, done his time at Sporting. That's kind of the wrong way to describe it, but is ready to leave and the club is ready to let him leave. He's staying koi as any. Remember when like Ronaldo was like only god knows and that's exactly what that falls into. But I think the only way that United have a chance of signing Guarez is with this final on Wednesday. And this is what I mean about probably why I can only speak for myself here. Can't speak for all
1:31 United fans, but why I'm so nervous going into this game because it's not just uh a Europa League final. It really is the definer about what happens in the next 12 months of our football club about what can happen in the summer and Guyokarez is absolutely tied into that. Now I loved it when Amarim said this when he was kind of quizzed directly about Gioarez and about whether uh United were in talks with him or wanted to sign him and that sentence there that we want players to represent United not players who want to play certain competition. So the idea that Guarez is sitting there waiting to see if United get in the Champions League to then decide whether or not he wants to join us is the opposite of what Amarin wants. But more realistically I think is the
2:20 fact that financially I don't think there's a chance in hell of United signing Guarez unless we are in the Champions League. So both of these two it's almost like the club is waiting. That's that's what it feels like to me. Anyway, we'll find out. We'll speak about Liam Dilap in a little bit, but it feels like United is waiting to find out what goes on with the Europa League final before they make a push for Guyarez. Now, as far as Gokuarez goes, as far as goal scorers go, he's literally number one. So, there there's there's probably going to be some United fans that are concerned the idea that Guarez is our number one target simply because he's a sporting player and Ruben Amram has he's played under the Ruben Am before. If that was the only reason we were going after him, then I'd be concerned. But he's also the most prolific goal scorer that there is in Europe's top five. Well, not even top
3:06 five leagues. You can see the coefficient there, 1.5. That's why it's weirdly he's weirdly got half a point more than Mbappe, but he's got 10 more goals than Mbappe. Of course, Mbappe has been playing in La Liga, which is more difficult. But I said this back, and this is this is kind of the reason I'm doing this video, right? I said this back in towards the end of April. You can see that the date down there, 29th of April. said, "I can't help but feel if United win the Europa League that there is a genuine chance that we sign both Guyarez and Dilap, which might sound like fantasy land to some United fans. I can semi understand that because maybe part of it is fantasy land, but Hand is part of that conversation. I judge every United player at the end of their second
3:52 season. If at the end of their second season, if in their second season, I've seen development progress on what I saw in the first season and they're heading in the right direction, then I think they deserve a third season. But with Handland, everything that we saw in the first season has disappeared. He is um unfortunately melted under the pressure of and I feel this is where I feel sorry for him of being literally the only goal scoring option that we've got at this football club. And no 22-year-old should ever have that sort of burden and spotlight at Manchester United. He should always have been second choice behind an established goalcorer who have been there and done it in top leagues for a few years and then Holland is there to learn from him. I think in that environment Holland would have been a lot better but in the second year he's faded. I think there's a possibility now and I suppose it depends. It's not even
4:38 how ruthless United are, it's how capable United are because right now we're holding talks with Liam Dilap. Lori Whitwell confirmed it yesterday. Face to face talks have happened with Liam Dilap. We know exactly what the Liam Dilap situation is. Ipsswitch are relegated. There's a 30 million pounds release clause. We're going to want him. Chelsea are going to want him. Newcastle are going to want him. So, you're going to see stories like this about face tof face hawks coming up with Liam Dap and all of those clubs. He's just doing the rounds, seeing what the projects are like, and then probably waiting to find out what goes on in the Champions League, what the Europa League with United. But I'll be truth be told I don't think with Liam Dilap that's going to be a defining reason as to whether he joins or not. It's whether he believes in the project and I do think the signing of Kuna makes these conversations with Liam Dap easier
5:25 because we are building a team and that's why go back to it again like just how nervous I am for this final. We've had false dawns before. We've had uh I remember Ten Hark's first season where he was just winning nuts amount of games and we had the League Cup and I remember I was there at Wembley. I was like this feels this feels like the biggest chance that we've got of a genuine rebuild and then obviously the next two three months we faded away the end of that season. Then that summer we went in the wrong direction and it all went tense up from there. Ruben Amar has not had the best of starts in the league. But call it a deluded if you want. I just I really do feel that it's player
6:10 quality letting him down and I can see what he's trying to achieve, but with the tools that he's got, it's just not possible. And I don't think he if Ruben Amarin was being honest and open, he'd probably come out and say, "Yeah, Kyoko would be my ideal striker." Because why wouldn't he be? He has played under his system before. He knows it inside out and he knows how good he is and he is that powerful off the ball runner. He can create chances himself. He can run the channels and he can most most importantly put the ball in the back of the net 39 times this this season to be precise. So it just feels to me like the only way that United have any chance of signing Guarez is if we win the Europa League on Wednesday. And I think if we win the Europa League on Wednesday, I kind of stand by what I say there. I think there's a possibility that United will try three things. one to sign
6:57 Gioarez, two to sign Dilap and three to probably loan Raasmas Hland out for a full season with an option or an obligation probably back to Sera and effectively cut their losses. I don't think they'll be able to sell Hen this summer because of the immortization cost. We think 5 years 72 mil. You break that down. What's that? 5 time 13 50 + 15 is 65 14 there or thereabouts per year. I think he you need to United need to sell him for someone something like 40 to 50 millionish to cover the cost of what he would be. That's just impossible. So loaning him out makes sense. I don't think I can look past Gokuarez is the best choice. People can argue about Osman if they want, but I
7:44 think in in if I was playing football fantasy manager and I had all the money in the world, I'd probably go this summer. Guyarez and Kuna and Dap and then I'd loan Rasmus Holland out and then wow does United's attack look different next season. You can let me know what you think in the comments. Am I just in fantasy land here? What do you think there is actually a possibility if we win the Europa? And if we don't win the Europa, I think anyone any gi conversation just fades away. I don't think there's any chance we sign him. Let me know what you think.
