Unreal signing. Genuinely surprised we have managed it , and even more surprised we’ve kept the fee under 50m.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

To be fair it's pretty fecking awesome, yoink!
Great to see this one sorted out. If it wasn't for the few extra few weeks of negotiation, I suspect we would have either paid a lot more/removed the Zaha sell on clause.
I'm surprised he is not on 250k + per week, seems to me every player is on that or similar money
Maybe a realistic wage for once.
He was calling things last summer. He's the only legit itk I've seen.
Solid signing who should provide many years of decent service. Plus he's homegrown. The fee is massive, but that is always going to be the case when you go after English talents from Premier League sides.
Should be a good fit for the type of counterattacking football we generally play.

Still only our 4th biggest transfer, I’m surprised at that actually.
Still, it’s a little annoying that we did end up doing what we all knew we would, and we all said we should’ve done weeks ago, which is pay £50m up front. Everyone knew we would so why we didn’t save ourselves a few weeks I don’t know. But I don’t want to moan, it’s good news.

Yeah I think you're correct. We'll be stuck with Matic for another season and will rely on Rashford, Martial and Greenwood to play up front assuming Lukaku leaves.
Very happy with this signing.
Pogba, Lukaku, Di Maria, Fred. Wasn't Fred more expensive than AWB?
Hardly. We pay 45m up front instead of 50m, and we've not caved in to the Zaha demands + no sell-on clause. That's probably between 10m and 20m saved depending on how much Zaha goes for (if he goes).
Finally we got there. Happy with this. On to the next one
I assume Ogden was chatting shit (per usual) about a £100m transfer kitty. James and AWB already cost £70m.
Hopefully a CB, CM and a CF are next.
We need to steal his chant:
“Your winger won’t like it, Wan-Bis-Sa-ka, Wan-Bis-Sa-ka".

Good deal.
I will love this capture. It gives us options for the back 4 and back 3. Home and away games. We will have 2 natural right fullbacks who can share duties. Whilst still having loads of room for growth One offensively, the other defensively. They will push each other
It's a bit early to be panicking that this will be our only big signing. But that won't stop RedCafe!
45m up front with 5m add ons? Where did you see that?
Get in! Right back was perhaps the most important position to improve.
We were never going to be able to actually sign him until the u23's were done so the club obviously used the time to (try) negotiate.
At last. Welcome to United lad and best of luck, Oh and stay away from JLanyardz. Next one Please Woody!
Yeah maybe. It’s been done before though, if the player wants to join then the agent just brokers the deal subject to a medical when he returns.
I think we will get a CF only if Lukaku is sold. So I'm guessing the three signings mentioned above doesn't include a CF
The well is nowhere near dry according to Mike Keegan on twitter
At fecking last, a signing to a position of serious weakness. I'm lost for words, I wanna cry
Yeah but why do that when you'd get him at the same time regardless?

Finally. We all knew it would happen, was only a question of when. I hate it when it drags on.
Now onto a CB and one or probably two midfielders please, the next 2 positions we need fixing

Wondering if he extended his contract with Palace today, how big wage jump it would be from his 10k. Not trying to sound negative btw.
Meh. I’ve already said previously it’s a negotiating strategy.
Hopefully that report of "at least 3 more" is true, because we need it. Decent price in the end for Wan Bissaka, definitely thought we'd cave and throw in over 60m or something stupid.
Looking forward to Wan Bissaka being there though. No more Young starting is lovely.

Well hurry up then!
Hallelujah! Next!
Great signing. Even if he just lives up to 80% of his expectations, he’s bound to be worth more in 2025 with the way transfer fees just keep going up. He needs our support now.
47+5 mill in add ons.
I don't think we have had to pay any m of add ons for him
£50m all-in, sub-£100k per week wage and we've kept the Zaha sell-on clause. Have we, Manchester United, just conducted an astute transfer negotiation?!
