That is a mouth watering fee, holy shit. Let’s hope he’s good.

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?

Look we can't dwell on that anymore, we all know we are run like a clown show hence why we still have holes in first XI
Hamsterlaar been fastest in several instances with the dutch football transfew news. A king among hamsters.
Can't wait to see that guys face right nowGET IN!!!
P.S FECK YOU SCHREUDER!!!!!!
I'm not worried about it. I just don't like this side of the modern game.
Osmihen could have that vibe
3 Brazilian who play in the National team at United.....must be a first.
Mouthwatering prospect!!!

Yeah, but it's going to be tough for him as well. Maybe slightly less so because once Liverpool get firing there will be goals on a plate, he can probably only be a relative disappointment rather than a complete disaster. As we've seen with Sancho it's not necessarily easy to come into our forward positions and fire.
Can we break years of bad South Americans
I don't want to dwell on it, but it's hard to ignore. Just depressing that a club of this magnitude can be run so poorly.
Orny’s about to talk on NBC/USA about the transfer market on PL Mornings in a few. Lets see if he talks about this/other United transfers.
Yep, told him he was slow so he signed for Red Bull Leipzig instead. ffs.
I doubt my opinion is this important to fans, but I'll take it
Thanks for that. So basically a huge talent who is still raw. I can see some amazing performances but also some frustrating ones.He has all the talent, but he's inconsistent and prone to losing his head and getting frustrated. He punched Malacia in a game where Malacia tore into him (legitimately) a few times and should've been send off. If he can mature and keep his cool he can achieve anything. His highs are extremely high, just not frequent enough.
And I don't hate Ajax, that's such a strong word, I don't mind seeing them fail, that's all. When reading the caf and the average United fan's opinion on Liverpool my "hatred" is non existent
And when I used the term hatred, I meant as a rival fan. I do get hate is a strong word and probably dislike would have been better.

Anybody who pushes this hard to join United is very welcome to me. Worth every penny!
Will be a fans favourite for sure.

He’s going to put in a proper shift. After watching Rashford jog around the pitch aimlessly for the last couple years, that alone will win him fans at Old Trafford.
Stark contrast to the FDJ saga
I would've been worried about the fee if Antony was one of our first signings. Because then it would've given the impression to me that we might not prioritise a DM. But with Malacia, Eriksen, Martinez and Casemiro in the bag, pay the money is what I say because we need a RWF and it balances things out in attack.
I think we're a creative CM, Striker, RB and a GK away from being a very competitive team in all competitions.

Pepe went for £75m four seasons ago?

Always helps when a player wants to join rather than having to be begged to join.
The fee is the fee though. They’ll always be more scrutiny on United. Just how it is.
Not sure on the issue when you consider the market. Nunez is a good comparison even if he cost slightly more and is a year older.
I wish there was more options for 4k here in the US.
I wish
Maybe Dalot can finally become that talented RB he looked at Porto, totally agree about the other three positions though
See my comment above
One can dream, but it does seem unlikely for the fee that they’re asking even after the Ronnie swap.
probably was Van de Sar saying "why the feck are you turning down this kind of money"
Who cares about the price, he's like a Latin Robben!

First thing he talked about was this deal. Says its done pretty much. Said “rising to 100 mil pounds” though, weird but likely slip of tongue. Also says liverpool are looking to add a midfielder but he has no names, says chelsea will get fofana + still looking into…FDJ…
Yeah hopes are slim best hope is a squad ST
I'm pretty sure Pogba was just as eager to join United from Juventus back then...
Looks like Hamstra + Huntelaar = Hamstelaar.
They both took his account. The real Gerjan Hamstelaar was assasinated in 1969 by unmarked helicopters.
True, but individual scrutiny is greater when expectation is set by a fee.
I don't think Harry Maguire would remotely be viewed in the same way if we procured his services for 30 million quid. Perhaps not the best example as he's captain, but I believe it makes a difference to how they're covered and unfortunately some players don't handle it as well as others.
If a Brazilian lad from the Dutch league comes for 30 million I don't think it attracts much attention at all and it probably gives them a lot more time to bed in without mass focus on them. Whereas with this it's just inevitable that much is going to be expected in a short space of time.
