Man United Transfer Talk: Andre Onana, Rasmus Hojlund

The transfer sagas of Andre Onana and Rasmus Hojlund have moved along at a snail's pace. Doesn't everything that involves Manchester United these days? The front office leadership of this club is so egregiously indecisive; at all times. (See the lack of sales, which we covered in the second of our two part MUFC transfer talk today) However, it looks like there is some optimism … [Read more...] about Man United Transfer Talk: Andre Onana, Rasmus Hojlund
