So far we have signed no-one from Manchester United 09:28 - Aug 3 with 1795 viewsGeoffSentence

When McKenna took over as manager following his time at Manchester United I thought it would be a dead cert that we would be taking one or two young Manchester United players on loan. Here we are deep into his second transfer window and so far I have been proven wrong.

Upon reflection, I think this is a good thing. Previous managers we have had have reached straight for their address book and called in a few old buddies.

This looks like a sign of a more thoughtful approach to signings to me.

Window is still open for another 28 days, United are still yet to make some impactful signings,

Wouldn't be surprised as we get to the end of the window if we didn't look to the loan market again if we can't secure our top targets, and I wouldn't rule out anyone from United coming in either

I wouldn't rule it out either, but it is safe to say he has not taken the safe approach of going straight to people he as previously known and worked with.

United are still in a mess, although I had to listen to a load of reds bemoaning their fortunes last night with a grin on my face.

It also presupposes there is a youth player who fits what we need. Taking on a kid as the main man up front would be a huge gamble and anyone good enough would likely go higher up.

We've sorted LB and beyond that, would a kid as a reserve keeper so we can sell Hladky make sense?

Tend to agree, we need players to get us out this league,not kids who would be under pressure to perform. We have more time for that if we are in the Championship. Right now we need people who can hit the ground running, not youngsters.

You just know if Ronaldo came here, he'd play one game and be awesome...next game he'd do his cruciate and then retire from football.

Isn't it just symptomatic of Man Utd not being that good anymore? None of their players would improve us.

Finding the right loan targets was always going to be tricky for us. The venn diagram of players who are better than we can recruit permanently but not good enough for a Championship team is pretty small. Good chance nobody currently at Manchester United falls into it.

That calculus will change if we go up I think.

We want Championship quality players in League 1.

Man Utd will want them to be playing in the Championship not League 1

A valid point indeed, but I reckon it being McKenna who was after a player would make a difference.

Charlie McNeill is one that could work. Only possible because he just out of nappies.

He is the real deal though.

He's been pushing to get away from Manchester United all summer. At a certain point you just need to relax and trust the process.

We weren't in for Dane Scarlett, whose development is streets ahead at the moment, can't see that we'd be in for McNeill.
