Man United confident Eric Dier prefers Old Trafford to Tottenham - sources

[Mullers]

Manchester United are set to push on with their bid to sign Eric Dier, firm in their belief that the midfielder wants to swap Tottenham for Old Trafford this summer, sources have told ESPN FC.

From what I see, this all stems from the fact that Dier said he would find a transfer to united hard to turn down, when he was at Sporting Lisbon. Jose has got his friends in the media to help tap up Dier imo. One thing is for sure, there is no way we can sell him to United, we will look extremely small time if we do.

I wish aliens would abduct Jose Mourinho

Wont happen this year but doesnt bode well for Dier being with us long term.

Too late.

 

[Combat Boot]

I am sure he will not go there

 

[millsey]

Thinks there's no doubt he prefers a move to Man Utd. That is not good for us, players who want to leave very early stay. If we don't pay more wages, get used to this

 

[Japhet]

Take out the word 'confident' and replace it with 'arrogant to presume' and it's pretty much spot on.

All speculative bollocks, imo!

Well there is a reason it's called transfer rumours. No doubt Utd want him though

Hmm. Weird one this. Not sure how I feel. Don't like it, though

Talkshit claimed in the Star it is Dier's dream to play for Manchester United.

Unless there's a statement from the club soon I will start to believe the shit - can't see it though - time to make a statement -like the arrogant arse who's obviously tapped one of our first teamers up can do one.
He has just signed a new contract and it will be getting better

 

[Bilko]

And if Chelsea wont sell matic to the Portuguese arse ( even though he wants to go) why should we sell Dier

The club have said on numerous occasions already that we won't sell anybody we want to keep. Both Levy and Poch have said this.

It sounds like a confession of tapping up from Man Utd to me. Maybe we should raise that point.

Well the line now is he supported them as a kid and he loves Mourinho as he's Portuguese.

 

[bigspurs]

Let's just hope that prefers London to Manchester! Its grim up north

Looks like there is mileage in this one as per Kyle Walker
Does that narcissistic runt Maureen ever develop any talent of his own - I certainly can't think of anyone.
He has that Timothy Fosu Mensah who looks really promising, but will probably just be left to rot.
Always difficult when you have a potentially unhappy player on your books as it can spread disharmony, but Utd have got history in pillaging our squad when we are on the up. Hope Levy tells them where to go.

Hmm if true this could complicate things

Also from the interview that the express quote:

"I loved to watch Gerard Piqué and Rafael Márquez, who played in both defence and midfield at Barcelona."

He's clearly going to Barcelona.

I also enjoyed reading all the quotes from Dier's close friends
