From Maddison himself at a golf course in Coventry of all places!

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?

Good luck to Juventus offloading him and his 400,000 a week salary. I reckon he digs his heels in and stays put. I'd take him on a season loan any day
Great addition to the doomsquad
You make it sound like he’s close to retiring
He’d have his pick of British clubs if he was to return
C’mon lad that’s poor
I haven't seen anything to suggest the timeline would change from 12-18 months that was bandied originally. Lots of companies will tout their "working" on a vaccine, but from design, to testing, to approval to mass manufacture it's a long time.

It's so cute when journalists try to stay relevant but don't actually have anything to say.I love reading Transfer Tweets, but what an elaborate way to say 'I haven't a fecking clue who United are in for or close to signing'.

You make it sound like he's De Bruyne ...
You're having a laugh if you think he's getting in either a City,Pool,United,Chelsea team, maybe Spurs at a push.
He's 30 this year and been plagued with injuries throughout his career, my comment was hardly unfair or over the top, I could see him in Europe for another few years before he gets a decent offer by some MLS Club.
He’s a solid squad player. Are you saying he couldn’t replace Lallana at Liverpool?
I’m not sure what other team is going to pay him anywhere near 400k, even half that would be a push with his injury record.
Poor by me or by him? Not sure what you mean.
Had such high hopes for him when we signed him. We did well getting our money back from Everton in hindsight.
Both.
Once again, I'd just to thank Everton for taking the bullet for us on this one - they have more than justified that extra money we gave them for Fellaini; thank you Everton!
Definately! Especially when you consider how poor we are at getting money back for our players when we sell them on.
Just noticed Maddison is from Coventry and was playing golf today.
At first I was thinking yeah I was in a sauna with Lady Gaga and she told me Inter Milan had agreed a permanent deal for Alexis Sanchez.
Now I reckon he possibly did see these guys and maybe did say he had signed for United. Probably taking the piss though. I don’t think players genuinely let stuff like this slip.
Yeah or maybe he saw the same picture as you . Pinch of salt
Oh yeah I am as sceptical as you get. At least someone has done their research though.
I'm not saying that at all, i think it's obvious i wasn't insinuating his position as a squad player, with his wage demands whichever club goes for him want's him as a starter and with him having 3-4 years at best left of "elite" football he will want to be playing most weeks, I could see Conte and his weird fetish of ex premier league players try and snap him up., actually could be a good fit.
I cant remember one standout game or moment this guy had for us. Not one.
Some of our worst signings had atleast one game where they showed abit of potential but not this guy.
So true, but I have to admit I thought he was going to be an absolutely perfect fit for us .

really don't want Chelsea to get Havertz.
Main hope now has to be that Bayern or Real do some sort of a deal to get him next year.
I would be shocked if Bayern could afford one of Havertz or Sane, and a right back in this window.
Bayern and Sane. I'm just reliving the same year over and over again.
Its Groundhog day ! 2020 will do that to you . Hard to believe the Bush fires in Australia were at the start of the year in the season we are still playing . Crazy
Absolutely no way in hell Chelsea are getting Havertz. Where would they play him??
Well you would be the ITK of the summer if this came to anything so I will reserve judgement.
Anyone else worry that Grealish could end up not fulfilling his talent and go like Morrison or is that just a completely ridiculous thought.
Not really.. Not even considering his supposed crazy wages.
He isnt that good.. None of the top sides in the premier league would want him. Arsenal are probably the only "big" side that would consider starting him.
Actually, he might get into the spurs XI.. but there is no way that deal happens.
I would come down on this side of the fence too. He had a few hot streaks and is a decent player, but at his age, with that injury record and on a high wage, I would be very disappointed with him as a midfield signing this summer.
So true. As long as they keep winning the league they will never receive the same scrutiny as a team like United. I think we should always view their transfers through this prism when making comparisons.
I saw an Italian football fan on this site rubbishing this alleged salary and saying it was much lower in reality. Is there any confirmation of this at all?
Worrying there is a lack of targeting a CB with pace to partner Maguire and still nothing at all on a proper DM which we badly need.
Article certainly suggests that only Sancho will be signed this summer unless Pogba leaves.

It's not worrying is it? What CB is available right now for the right price that's actually a significant upgrade on Lindelof and Baily? The fact we've been linked with AMs alot Is also not surprising. After Bruno our AM options are bad.
This. A lot of foreign players and some British players see Madrid, Barca, Juve, Munich as the pinnacle as they generally win the big trophies every year. Even PSG have started to have a 'pull'. Some come for the latest top team manager or money as well. City Chelsea and Liverpool for example. London is a big draw as well. Utd to a 18-24 year old isnt as big a pull as it once was, hence we have had to pay top dollar as well. Hopefully by being successful we get that aura back where the name itself entices the best.
Yeah, foreign players gets a huge tax discount in Italy. As it is normal that football clubs pay taxes for the player, the Italian clubs can basically offer lower wages than in England ,while the player actually get more wages in his pockets.
For example, Juventus expenses for Ramsay which earn 400.000 a week could be say 500.000, while if he played in PL the expenses for the club would be 700.000 .
On a side note Juve also likes to sign players that are running out of contract, and thereby can offer more wages as they dont need to pay anything else. From an accounting view thats also more beneficial than paying a large sum up front afaik.
