£60m up front and just negotiating how the other 60m will be structured? I doubt if it'll be 120m. A hundred/105 I reckon...obviously I have no sources

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

From what I'm hearing, I think they want their money asap. Seeing a Utd are the only ones to register interest
lets get this done asap so we can move onto VDB/Grealish or a defender
Is it just me or does he look a lot more effective on the left? Don't watch Dortmund and BuLi much but most of the clips I've watched of him, his best moments appears to be when cutting in on his right foot from the left to create a chance or shoot. Maybe this has been discussed already but do United fans feel this will be a problem as surely you'd want to play your best players in positions that maximizes their abilities.
Feel like it will be a little like the Mata transfer. When negotiations are done, the bid will go in. Fits with Harris' comments as well.Tweet

he mostly played on the right at Dortmund. But that's the beauty of it, he can play on both flanks and even through the middle. Gives us tons of options and movement, so no, I don't see it as a problem at all.
I'm fairly sure this is how all big transfers go now
I really dislike this guy
He contradicts himself so much.
United won't bid until they know it'll be accepted, so how the F are they going to know it's accepted if they won't bid?
It's clear we are negotiating before an "official" bid is placed.
yeah they'll only make a bid when negotiations are over and they know it'll be accepted. Standard procedure these days.
But reading Fjortofts "time to go all in", it fits with the MEN article saying that Dortmund want to pressure us into bidding early. I get it, too ... let's not forget that players (Dembele, Aubameyang) have caused a fuss and went on strike before.

This will definitely drag on. Might even not sign him. Dortmund trying to get maximum cash out of us.
Read an article in the Athletic some months back. A lot of these big deals are negotiated through third parties. The clubs themselves only communicate directly in the very late stages of the deal. If you accept this case is similar, when the club has an idea of a structure, the bid will go in.I really dislike this guy

I also think its what happened with Pogba. There were no reports of bids etc

Can we stop posting this WUM tweets?
Yeah i'd imagine there's a lot about transfers we don't know.
It just makes me laugh he straight away jumps to "United need to give them what they want". He's desperate for Dortmund to get one over us.
The BVB sporting director Michael Zorc?
Na, Jan.
That Daniel Harris retweeted someone saying a few has been agreed.

I’m not watching it but presumably it’s been mentioned in this video.
Who is he? can't say I've come across him before.
Works for guardian I believe.
Miguel Delaney, The Independent, also says a deal has been agreed in principle, with £60m paid upfront and it could possibly rise to over £100m with clauses.
Miguel talks so much shite, but I like what he's saying so it's on. Done Dealio.
never trust Delaney.
My only concern with this currently is that its starting to feel like its going to be another all-summer-long transfer saga that gets drawn out and protracted, whilst other clubs (Chelsea, City) appear to be getting their business done early and with little fuss.
Feed me more.... Feed meh
Ah right thought it was next summer it kicks in.
I just don't get that vibe at all? How are people reading it like this? It's all positive, all going our way and simply just a matter of time. There's no saga here.
nah. Chelsea faces the same battle for Havertz, and it's simply easier to sign a player like Ake ... especially when money is no issue at all.
Our season ended 4 days ago. People need a bit of patience.

Ornstein said they’ve been after Ake for ages, even that wasn’t as quick as it seemed.
He's a shit talker in my book
He’s a clown. Ignore him.
I think Delaney is the worst out there for transfer news, bar the obvious fake accounts.
If a fee really has been agreed, surely it’ll start spreading like wildfire in the next couple of hours? Di Marzio, Romano, Sky and all the others normally are briefed and drop the info once a few has been agreed.
I personally think he's worse than fake accounts
Yeh if it doesn’t gain traction in the next couple of hours then it’s probably not accurate. Hopefully we see loads of other journalists/outlets confirm the same news with their sources but I think we’re still a little while off that stage yet.
Delaney can be lucky to be employed. But maybe that is exactly why
