  1. Club Sale | It’s done!

    Could one of you wizzos please explain the following: This all started with the much needed infrastructure re-build expenditure, particularly the OT revamp, which estimates suggested could be well over GBP 1bn. Money that neither the club nor the Glazers have . Then there was the absurdly...

  2. Business Metric: Ed has fleeced the Glazers

    Whether you value United at $3bn or $4bn currently it is still a considerable asset which the Glazers outlaid zilch for. United is in the top 10 richest sports teams in the world by valuation. That's why Woodward is their darling. He engineered the take over and built the commercial enterprise...

  3. Jadon Sancho| Staying at Dortmund for now

    Dortmund have said quite categorically they want to keep Sancho for another season and will only accept 108m (GBP) for him - in cash. However, if United come in with an offer of say GBP 75m plus 15m add-ons, who's to say that Dortmund are likely to get that sort of money next year when they...

  4. Inaki Williams

    I cannot believe they are even considering this - assuming press reports are true of course. Williams might be a raw prospect but he's 25 for goodness sake and has scored 33 goals in 157 appearances for Bilbao - by no means a satisfactory rate for a striker. This smacks of a panic buy - of the...

  5. Are there 2 more frustrating players to watch than Sanchez and Pogba in the league?

    Yes Pogba did come into it in the second half as United became far more purposeful when chasing the game. But in the first half he was just strolling around at times. There's definitely an attitude issue there. So far, Sanchez seems more hindrance than help to the team. He buzzes about...

  6. Matt Busby Interview 1973

    Great, great man. JM could have learned a great deal from him had their paths crossed in another life!

  7. Pochettino: Shaw's attitude & work rate held him back

    You cannot argue with the people close to the situation and the Pochettino comments are very significant. The only thing I would say is at the beginning of 2015/16 he was playing superbly well and was United's outstanding player. That was, of course, before the devastating injury in the PSV...

  8. RIP David Herd

    I must pay tribute to David Herd. Unbelievably, it really doesn’t seem that long ago when I first saw David play. It was at Highbury around 1960 and he scored two typical hot shot goals. The only problem was, in those days he was playing for Arsenal! The home side won 5-2 and it was one...

  9. What are your fav memories of United playing at Upton Park?

    Two games stand out for me and they were a very long time ago! In 1964, United were involved in a titanic FAC quarter final clash with Sunderland. It went to two replays (those were the days!). In the first game at OT Sunderland were leading 3-1 with just minutes to go and United managed to...

  10. What will you do if LVG stays next season?

    I'm afraid you've hit the nail on the head there. It was always plan A and they are going to stick to it. All this talk of Mourinho was just a back up plan B in case the wheels really came off. What gets me is the sheer lack of ambition which now permeates the club. Fourth position and entry...

  11. Manchester United vs Liverpool

    You never know for sure and as fans we always have to retain a bit of optimism whatever the situation. However if Liverpool score first its probably all over at that point. In fact if they score at all its probably over. On the other hand if we score fairly quickly then it might give them a...

  12. BBC: United hold talks with Mourinho

    I don't think so but it has always been assumed since the Fergie succession was first talked about, which led Charlton to inadvisedly state that Mourinho was unsuitable for the job. I think therefore that there is a lot of credence in him wanting the job. Indeed so much so that he might be...

  13. BBC: United hold talks with Mourinho

    That's a very good point. Mourinho's involvement might depend on CL participation. This could be a two way deal. Failing CL, Mourinho goes elsewhere and we are stuck with LvG for another season or he leaves at the end of this one and with no CL football, Giggs is appointed full time as there...

  14. BBC: United hold talks with Mourinho

    I still think plan A is to have Giggs succeed LvG. They may well have spoken to Mourinho as part of a plan B which essentially is that if the season turns out to be a disaster then he will step in on a 3 year basis with either Giggs continuing as assistant and then succeeding (modified plan A)...

  15. Post match vs Watford

    Good team except I wouldn't drop Varela for Darmian. The latter is a liability quite a bit of the time, whereas Varela has been excellent in this current run. He deserves to keep his place.
