Roy Keane signed for UTD under these exact circumstances. Was tapped up by Dalglish and Blackburn for months and was contacted by Fergie the weekend before he was to sign the deal on Monday. The opposite happened with Gazza agreeing to sign for Man Utd then switching at the last minute...

Release clause is irrelevant if the club are begging you to buy him to keep them afloat.

If Utd end up paying close to the fee quoted in the summer, it will prove negotiating incompetence. Factors supposedly in play: 1. Sporting are cash poor. 2. Sporting approached Utd. 3. Fernandes wants to leave. 4. Fernandes is not OGS top choice. 5. Fernandes’ contract has wound down a...

I think Ole is quite “hands off” with coaching, leaving it to Carrick and McKenna. Poch would clear them out, bring in decent coaches, and be more involved himself.

Looks great. Heard the filmmakers talking about it on Talksport the other day.

Yeah, I guess it may be different if the thread was about top players of all time. I still find it interesting that most players mentioned are Premier League era, but I take your point. Last post for me today as I’m a newbie!

He scored 4 in 6 this season after being moved to CF. Utd have only lost once when he played this season, and never when he scored. His availability to the team makes a huge difference.

Some interesting comparison stats between Solskjaer and Klopp’s start as managers at Utd and ‘Pool. Obviously the major difference is trajectory of improvement, but not much between them in pure stats...

Thanks for this. Nice to see someone trying to dig into the details of the financial situation. Feels like a lot of folks think of transfer money in isolation, or in simplistic terms like, “got this much for Lukaku so that cash goes in in the big transfer budget envelope to be spent on someone...

Options: 1. Pogba took a strop and refused to play against A.C. Milan in a glamour friendly, but agrees to turn out against Blackburn under-23’s. This is to force a move or something. 2. Pogba had back spasms which resolved enough for him to get some minutes. 3. Pogba was sent on a...
