I'd imagine we're being used here. Realistically we need to get back into the CL before we will be able to make these types of signings without offering stupid wages.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

We've apparently 'significantly' improved our offer from €14m a year to him according to Catalan daily Sport.es
I'm sure Raiola will get around £10m too..
This. ^
We need a Talk Sport update from Marcel Van Der Kraan.
I doubt Liverpool will pay him the wages he wants, Raiola wants him to have the best contract possible.If Barca move fails he'll end up at Liverpool I think.
If Raiola was gonna use anyone to hurry Barca up he'd use the Dutch media. The Dutch media hasn't said anything significant lately.
After all that talk about Sanchez messing up our wage structure
I'm definitely pitching my tent in here for sure. Been confident since Monday when some of the rumours started to turn our way
I cannot imagine he’d entertain the idea of joining us, when an offer from Barca is on the table. Also, Barcelona have the highest wage bill in Europe so I’m sure they will offer something competitive.
Getting a player like De Ligt would make players believe in our project. Because right now we look like a mess with so many average players, stuck in Europa League.
I like what i'm hearing. The kid wants more money and more responsbility. We can give him both, plenty of cash and leading a backline alongside trash like Jones, Smalling, Young. Try being responsible for that herd of cats.
Agree, its just as important as the Pogba signing, shows real intent.
Should I prepare Flightracker?
Dwell in this vault, yo.I'm definitely pitching my tent in here for sure. Been confident since Monday when some of the rumours started to turn our way
Would love it if he came here, the sort of transfer we need if we're overhauling the team.
Get Meunier for £25m and we've instantly got a much better defence than weve had in ages.
Shaw - Lindelof - De Ligt - Meunier
Or
Shaw - Jones - Smalling - Young
I know which one i prefer.

As much as I wouldn't wish United's predicament on anybody, I'm kinda starting to root for the "De Ligt saves Manchester United" scenario
He is in the age group that has seen our better days as a kid. It might appeal to him in that way? I don't think it hurts either having Blind and Van der Sar whispering in his ears.
After that add the money. A shit ton of it. We might get him if all the stars are aligned in the right way.
Nope. No credible sources, sadly.
The second one right?
What a signing this would be though
Please save us De Ligt!

If anyone has any kind of confidence that we might pull this off:
Barcelona 1/8
Liverpool 6/1
City 13/2
United 9/1
Might be worth a punt.

If Man Utd sign De Ligt and Sancho this summer I’m putting £10 on them to win the league
He won't come here. Big money will be on offer from a dozen clubs, and we can't offer anything but the guarantee of shit football.
We're not competing with the big boys right now, nor should we be.

No English, but plenty of Spanish.
The fact the narrative has gone from "we expect De ligt to sign very soon" to "United are now the favourites" is positive news. It could just be the agent trying to squeeze more money.
I hope we are going all out to sign him, but I doubt he will come.
Why? it was just reported the other day that Liverpool have cooled their interest..If Barca move fails he'll end up at Liverpool I think.
It's not news. It's nonsense.
Join our crew! This will be the 2019 version of Pogba in 2016.I'm definitely pitching my tent in here for sure. Been confident since Monday when some of the rumours started to turn our way
Don't see a reason why would he come here. Pretty sure he has lots of very good offers from other clubs on the table and while we can of course match it/offer more money, he would go somewhere else if he has any brains. If he goes to whoever makes the highest bid then no thanks, I would pass.
Why?
De Ligt and Felix this year, Sancho next year
Yeah I agree. No need to get our hopes up. Cant see us competing with Barca
Then what though? Ffs it's ridiculous, what happens when he comes to renew? He's 19 and if he stayed with united he'd probably renew 3 - 4 times
Everyone crying how much Sanchez earns don't have a leg to stand on to slate Ed Woodward if they want this kid at the prices being reported
