Fixed.He's taken a massive shot to his already low credibility.
The lack of clarity in the statement from United and not a single media report of us cancelling his contract. I would have thought this would have been leaked and reported by now if it had happened.There's a very good chance we already have. I'm not sure why people are assuming he's still a united player.

Usually someone's future being away from the club is the type of HR talk for moving someone out of the business.The lack of clarity in the statement from United and not a single media report of us cancelling his contract.

Deadline is at midnight mateNo Amrabat then after all that? We bow out with a random keeper and Spurs reject on loan?
The reports from most of the tier one journalists say the Amrabat deal is still on.No Amrabat then after all that? We bow out with a random keeper and Spurs reject on loan?
So, no moving Greenwood, McTominay, Maguire or Martial, and no new midfielder. With Maguire we at least seriously tried, and Martial was probably undoable given his injury, but you'd have hoped something could be done with Greenwood, and in my view we've unwisely priced McTominay out of the market. Amrabat, who we clearly need, has been strung along all window. A bit disappointing, if this turns out to be right.No mention of Amrabat - doubling down on his “United were never interested” stance.Tweet

He’s definitely “gone” one way or the other but I think United have held on to hope of getting a fee for him.Usually someone's future being away from the club is the type of HR talk for moving someone out of the business.
We also confirmed/leaked he wouldn't play for us again and we wouldn't have a right to keep him away indefinitely. He's gone in my opinion but we'll find out soon enough.
Henderson & Bayındır are done deals.In the next 30 hours we seem to do (complete) deals for:
* Henderson (out)
* Bayindir (in)
* Reguilon (in)
* van de Beek (out)
* Amrabat (in)
Heck a lot to do.
And absolute silence on Bailly front.

Amongst the list of the dumbest things this club has done in recent years, which is lengthy. Coming out & saying he won’t play for us again then expecting to make some form of profit is far & away the dumbest.He’s definitely “gone” one way or the other but I think United have held on to hope of getting a fee for him.
The problem is that everyone now knows he won’t play for us again and therefore has no value to us and will likely be a free agent very soon if he isn’t already. So I imagine it would prove very difficult for United to command any kind of transfer fee and obviously limited interest due to the moral implications of it all.
In hindsight he could have been “moved on” for a modest fee to an overseas club when the allegations were dropped.Amongst the list of the dumbest things this club has done in recent years, which is lengthy.

If the decision was for him to leave fine but being rushed into that statement will prove costly. Should have kept quiet, you know like they did for 18 months anyway & worked on a deal in the background.
This Summer has been an embarrassment on so many levels.

Exactly but the intention was never to move him, rightly or wrongly. Once you arrive at the decision to let him go though you don’t play the hand the way the club did.In hindsight he could have been “moved on” for a modest fee to an overseas club when the allegations were dropped.
All we’ve done by leading our own internal investigation is put more spotlight on the issue and delayed the inevitable outcome of him having to leave the club. All of the publicity has only served to make his exit more difficult.
It's not fairly obvious, could be another Gaitan or Carvallho for all we know.Even if he doesn't join, it is fairly obvious that the club were interested and made attempts to sign him. So him not joining would do absolutely nothing for his credibility.

This one doesn't make sense, if Fernandez was up to the task then we wouldn't be signing Reguilon.presumably if Fernandez is up to the task, he'll play anyway. No sense putting up 50m to buy Roberto Carlos in this situation.
Let's hope he's right.Ornstein said last night that Amrabat is on track.
Why though?I'd be pretty happy if McT stayed and got minutes.. Amrabat can stay at Fiorentina.
Far more reliable journalists have reported talks and offers. So yeah, it's fairly obvious.It's not fairly obvious, could be another Gaitan or Carvallho for all we know.
I think we will sign him. The Henderson deal gave us £20M net head room on our FFP. We saved £7M on the left back loan and signed Bayındır for £5M.Tweet

Key point from the article is Manchester United haven't denied that the private jet is for Amrabat.
Because I like McT as a squad player and dont find Amrabat impressive.Why though?
They are also not denying they've booked a private jet to bring Messi from miami.Tweet

We'll at least play Amrabat in the correct position for him though, we never do with McTom.Because I like McT as a squad player and dont find Amrabat impressive.
We have gone way too long signing average players as squad fillers.
tbh most of this is woodward - appointed by Glazers grantedIt's a crime what the Glazers have done to our club. How are Manchester United of all fecking clubs this skint?
