Maybe we got so good at this, that all our work is done behind closed doors, very quietly, and around 10pm we get few tweets: "Welcome to Man United".

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

The ladies team managed 3 under the radar/unexpected signings in their deadline day. Hope that the mens team follows suit?

I would like Bissouma in our team, but it dreadful PR right now!
WHy the feck would anyone want to pay 60M for Carrasco?
It's 6 months in the south of France GB, we're not talking about committing to 5 years in the Aussie outback.
If he doesn't think he has a chance of breaking into the Bordeaux team I'd be very surprised to see him in a Utd team.
I'd love to see him recover his career, and I think he has the ability to, but if he's interested in doing that he'd be far better off in Bordeaux than Manchester IMO.

I remember those days, Oh what a fool I wasAnd there was us all thinking it looked glorious in the summer and we’d maybe see a title challenge from United
Why because we’ve loaned a bunch of players? Let’s trim this stupidly over bloated squad which had led to so much discontent within the squad due to a lack of playing time.
Crazy that United still pay Jones and Mata to do nothing when clearly both have zero interest in football.

He's been very good for Atletico last 2 years or so.
A team that is shipping goals badly, can’t guarantee him more than sitting on the bench? They’re not exactly inspiring confidence are they?
I think he made the right decision personally. I expect we will see him get some minutes at United
He's 28 and not a prolific goal scorer. He's about the same range as someone like Mertens, probably even less, who was getting moved for around 28-30M range not long ago.
This post is a steaming pile of poo
Very different player. Often plays the LWB role in a back 5.
I wouldn’t touch him with a barge pole before yesterdays news and especially now
Where do you stand on us guaranteeing playing time to signings then? Assume you think it's a reasonable demand?
I think it’s a reasonable demand for someone trying to get back to playing after a career threatening injury, no?

Not at all. We as a club refuse to guarantee anyone gametime as you don't know a players form til they play.
Jones has barely played football in recent years so how can any club understand his quality. A massive injury often makes a player much worse.
Well, Mata's paid £100K p/w and for what? But at least it's only City buying titles.

God lord 950k plus a week. World has gone officially mad
Wow - if that wage is legit, football is fecked (if it wasn’t already).

Same thing, yeah
Means the Pogba brigade will be looking for more, sets a bad standard as players will think......if he is getting that why am I not. World Gone Mad indeed.
I mean they’re not paying a transfer fee for him and he’s arguably the most marketable young player in the world. It makes financial sense, as crazy as that sounds. Dembele was asking for €43m per year….Dembele….
He's played like once in 2 years, who can guarantee him anything on the back of that, and what makes him think he's in any position to make demands in the first place?
IMO he should be glad someone is giving him an opportunity to get his career on track, have the confidence that he can break into a team shipping goals and get regular games there.
It just seems like a weak excuse to me, happy to have 4 CBs ahead of him at Utd and maintain the status quo.
These journos aren't even trying to hide the source of their information anymore.
Probably it will be 25 net, what Cristiano used to earn

If you want to do the maths, PSG paid him ~£400k/week in wages and paid £150m for him in 2018. They are losing him on a free 4 years later. So thats 208 weeks worth of wages which equates to just under £700k a week for his transfer fee if you spread it out. So PSG could be said to have paid £1.1m / week for Mbappe over the course of his contract. I've ignored any bonuses etc because he will be getting those at RM as well on top of his salary.
There is a reason that free agent salaries are insane compared to those who are being transferred for money being paid to a club.
Aubameyang being in Barcelona before the transfer can go through could be the international version of Peter Odemwingie...
Yeah, it's hard not to agree with this to be honest.
He's spent the last 10/15 years injury ravaged living in Manchester and Blackburn. If nothing else, you'd take the offer to get paid to play in Bordeaux just for a change in scenery.
Bild with the exclusive, Id say Marca are not happy having their thunder stolen
Insane wages for Mbappe but rather he ends up at Madrid as opposed to anyone in the Premier League.

We will never know what’s been said. I just don’t like the insinuation that he’s lazy or just happy to take the money. It’s a stupid narrative. Phil Jones is one of the most humble people in our squad and from what I read one of the most hardworking. Who are we to question what he choices he makes if he’s doing what he feels is right?
