Henderson didn’t travel with the squad, so hopefully he is close to leaving.
Bailly also didn’t travel.

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?

Bailly also didn’t travel.
Great news, I’d suspect they’re in negotiations to leave already, or Bailly’s under house arrest for slipping in his local Morrisons and two footing some old dear in the chest.
Well at least there won't be any suspicion of dodgy dealings at 4m...
Hendersons not travelling as hes still recovering from injury.
He’s also on his way to Forrest
I wasn’t expecting to get anything for him so £4m is decent business. Cheers Telles, will always remember that performance against PSG where he looked quality, sadly he didn’t stay at that level.
4m for a player worth 10-14m......incredible
You do realise that all European clubs that made an offer offered absolutely nothing for him apart from the Saudi club? So wheres this £10m coming from?
If we tried pushing for 14 then you would still be complaining about selling him next summer
He isn't worth £10-14m though is he? Nobody would pay that.
Nobody did, we had multiple offers from European teams also. Every single one offered £0…But obviously it’s more fun to make up an evaluation from your own sofa then get angry about it.
A lot more believable. He only had a year left on his contract, wasn't particularly young and was very, very, average. Take what you can get and consider it a result.

How can people be angry at getting anything for him honestly surely it's tiring constantly moaning. Happy to have got a few million, and now we can move on.
honestly surely it's tiring constantly moaning. Happy to have got a few million, and now we can move on.I'm amazed we got any money for him.
We're talking about a 30 year old, clearly surplus to requirements defender with a year left on his contract (year extension that we're never ever triggering). £4m + Addons (probably about £1m) is pretty good.
As an aside, find it funny that if it's selling cheap its in Pounds but if it's buying expensive it's in Euros...

I think the overall concern is directed at our pattern of buying high and selling low which we can't seem to break out of. Other clubs see this happen every year and are emboldened to take the piss out of us in the market.
We're not Dortmund or Brighton though, who cares what we sell players for? I only really care who we buy to improve the team. Why do people waste their energy on moaning about the fee for a player they all want to get rid of anyway?
No he's not
In what world? Surely not planet earth
We still have at least Bailly, Elanga, DVB, Brandon, Maguire, Fred, Henderson and possibly Mct. It will be a miracle if we manage to shift them all.
He had 1 year left on his contract was on £100,000 a week so owed £5,200,000 on his contract we get 4 million for sale while Saudis pay 1 year we owed on his contract so deal close to £10 million all in happy enough.
Or just the usual, another injury...
Exactly. It’s like the resale shite that infested this place for awhile.
We didn’t even buy Telles for that much, and most people would have forgotten he even existed, yet they’re the same ones complaining we didn’t get more for him?
Both clubs are negotiating who pays for his flight.
Be happy… £4m pound is a great fee for a 30 year old Telles the whole world knows that we cannot and won’t use. There is a reason that Sevilla didn’t want to sign him. When the transfer season started most of us would have been happy if we got €2m for him and none would have complained if we released his contract and saved his wage. Now instead we are saving his wage and getting a fee of £4m… be happy
I thought I only way any club will sign him will be on free transfer, so good at least we got some money.
4 million plus add ons is not bad. Maybe some other journalists will report the add on part. Won't be surprised if the total fee is around 8-10 million.
We'll take it. Frees up the wage bill too. Good luck to him.
They are not a real football club and they are rich enough to pay fines and bribes. Their ban will vanish into thin air. Nobody will care.
He’s a £10m footballer if he was earning the wages of a £5m footballer that’s developed into a £10m player.
We pay him what £20-30m full backs earn. The new club won’t offer him his current wage so he either stays to collect the cheque, or we lower our fee so the new club can pay him a signing bonus to partly make up for loss of earnings.
If we were paying him £80k a week we could sell him for £15m
We have got all of this wrong for decades.
We are very good at selling cheap.
I forgot about him. £4 million is a good money for him. Can't some Saudi club offer Maguire a big money contract and chuck us a paltry £35M for him? I would take that.
Forrest's first offer was £10m. Naturally, we bulked.
Bringing him along on the tour will also put him on the shop front too.
Inter needs a goalie?
They are signing Trubin from Shakhtar and Sommer from Bayern.
I've accepted that we're never going to sell for good sums. Now I'm just glad to be cleaning house.
Feck.
Blooming hell. The one United players the Saudis want and he’s worth feck all
Remember that when we sell for what looks to be a cheap figure, we are also saving on the wages too.
For that reason I think we won't get a lot for Maguire either. It's a long road to get out of this mess we're in, but we're doing it

Maguire at 30m and off the wage books is huge imo
Our reputation is so bad that these moronic clubs approach us with the intention of getting players for free.
4 million for 30 year old telles, who’s crap ok
40 million for 30 year old Fabinho who is also crap.
