Almost certainly. Could go to the wire though. On deadline day someone needs to kidnap Dunk and Duffy.

If they have Woodward has totally lost the plot along with the Wan-Bissaka purchase.

I think they will keep digging as they are desperate for a decent centre back. Not sure if Maguire would be top of my list - there must be a world shortage of them. Maybe they could take Duffy?

Maybe it could be a triangular deal, like what we had in 1980...
Albion -> Peter Ward -> Forest
Forest -> Garry Birtles -> Man Utd
Man Utd -> Andy Ritchie -> Albion
Albion -> Lewis Dunk -> Leicester
Leicester -> Harry Maguire -> Man Utd
Man Utd -> ?? ?? ?? -> Albion
Albion -> Peter Ward -> Forest
Forest -> Garry Birtles -> Man Utd
Man Utd -> Andy Ritchie -> Albion

Leicester -> Harry Maguire -> Man Utd
Man Utd -> ?? ?? ?? -> Albion
No thanks! I wouldn't want to sell Dunk to Leicester for less than a third of what thy get for Maguire - which is exactly how much Clough stuffed us in 1980.

Please god no. In fact I don’t think there’s a single United player I can think of that I’d want! Unless they want to loan us the Swansea winger chap

I do as he was unproven, but he has improved immensely and thus proved me wrong and may I add a very well know manager who thought he would never be good enough for the Premier when one of his scouts recommended him.

Disregarding the financial side wouldnt you take Alexis Sanchez on loan for a season?

Gordon McQueen....?
The Albion can justifiably be proud of polishing any turd into a quality centre back.
But I think a turd from the current Utd line up is asking too much, even for us.

Like some of our players he is a good striker who was played in the wrong position at United. Good players, as he was at Arsenal, do not suddenly become bad.

They do if their attitude goes, 300k a week and what did he do at Arsenal? Definitely a continental player who is blatantly unhappy in England.

No. Partly because you can’t disregard the financial side and having a player in the dressing room who earns 300k a week (whether us or Utd is paying it) would be disruptive. And honestly, I think he’s a shadow of his former self. Players who rely on intensity tend to decline faster than those whose game was always a bit slower (eg Pirlo).

Worked okay with Wayne Bridge they all seemed to get along with him even though he was on about 100k

No South American or Southern European native wants to spend time in the Manchester climate. London is just about doable for most and the wages go a long way, but Manchester no. Swap Spain's climate with Manchester, and United and City would suddenly usurp Real and Barca as the world's most popular footballing destination for players.
