Strange we haven't formally announced this yet. Man Utd tend to want to jump in fairly early to say signed pending medical.

If his agent was dodgy, it wouldn't take him this long into his career to see that. Its scummy to tell the agent who worked for you for so long to feck off and then get your dad paid an agent fee right before a big move.
Do you know this for a fact? The reports said the guy representing him wasn’t authorised to do so, so he couldn’t negotiate the terms with United on his behalf, so his dad has stepped in, as someone who is authorised to complete the deal.

I find it incredible that some people who call themselves United fans were as quick as they were to use words like ‘scummy’ on a player who they’d never even heard of before we were linked to him at the first sign of the deal possibly not going through, without having any knowledge of why he might have dispensed with that agent. That too when every single journalist who reported it said that it was not likely to be a deal breaker.

Man, just google that agency, they represent Lindelof, Van de Beek among United players alone. You think they do not or cannot get authorization to represent Malacia?

I feel really sorry for football agents, they really add to the game. What would we do without their tireless work to improve the game?

Too bad being a passive aggressive smart ass isn’t a sport, otherwise you’d be the Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi of it.

Gaz. Is a Mewling Quim.
So we’ve come full circle to where the conversation started. It’s usually unethical to dump your agency before a big move and get your father or other relative paid.
Without knowing the details it’s pretty dumb to assume this is just done for family to get paid. There’s possibly something that Malacia really doesn’t like in the agreement that his agent has made, and he doesn’t approve and has lost all trust in his agent. If a player doesn’t trust his agent any more then they need to drop them.

Which would explain the issues with the delay.

It’s a hypothetical. He might be being a dick, it might be for totally acceptable reasons. We may never know.

Wehey, a guy I know nothing about that the new manager likes. Good start. Excited to see how he'll perform in the premier league. Shaw's tendency to leave a million acres of space on the left hand side and forgetting to track back has annoyed me to no end for years.
To be fair, Jose's first signing Eric Bailly also fit into this category.

I think @Wednesday at Stoke is a recruitment agent, or spiv as they should properly be called. Happiest day of my life when I finally found a contract that didn't have a spiv attached to it.

Yeah that video was quite bad, and I am no gym expert by any means. But the guy is extremely fit.

Is this signing still worth completing with the ronaldo news? We still desperately need a defensive midfielder, right back and now another attacker, is it wise to use 15 million of what already seems an extremely penny pinching budget from the greedy glazers on buying a player in a position that isn't truly in need of being filled

We need a LB and a RB as bad as we need a CM and a RW.

Poor lad is going to have the most depressing new signing thread ever unless the mood on here changes soon

He’s not doing conventional exercises, clearly. It looks like low weight, high rep explosive movements that have carryover to actually playing in matches

Good news at last, whilst I'm not getting overly excited about another left back it is the start of hopefully a busy period.

Lets hope Telles is show the door now, he's got no place being at a club the size of United. Looked totally out of his depth in nearly every game he's taken to the field.

I expect him to be sold. He's one of the few players that ten Hag doesn't seem interested in.

There's also this.

Why do we never do things straight forward? Liverpool and city get bids accepted then Medicals come like a day or 2 later. We take forever when bidding and when it does get accepted the Medicals not till like a week later :lol:
