That was epic. Hope we don't have to go that far before Sanchez is announced.
I've been slightly worried about the deal be derailed by Chelsea but it seems they are linked with anyone but- just don't want them doing what we did to them in summer.

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?

Always had my suspicionsFfs...Scouse Lover ??
Best player name pun I have seen. Well done
I didn't say he was, just that the press pushed him as the new Cantona at the time.

Today's the day, la.
We are not gonna see him tomorrow are we
At least we can hope to get some news before midday.
Even though it's only been going on for a week or so, it feels much longer, especially because of the constant media whining regarding the fee.
If it does go through in time, I can't see him starting tomorrow, regardless. I expect he'll make the bench and hopefully we'll get half an hour out of him. And when he's subbed on for Martial, this place will go nuts...

Ewww what's with all the scouse lovers in here, ffs.
I cant see him starting at Turf Moor. So why the rush? Anyway, I think its the Mikhi side that's holding things back since they had a late start on the contract.
I would like it to be a Cantona effect. Well, I can dream.
Events List for today-
- 9.00Am Players report for training, interesting to see if mkhi is there
- 12 pm deadline to Register sanchez for Burnley game
- 2.30 Pm United press conference for Match against Burnley
- Wait till he sanchez, wait and wait some more and then some fecking more feck.
Err muh ghuurd. Why isn’t this done yet? Wtf have they been doing over night? Why would they do this to me? Can’t see this transfer going through now.
#RedChileDay #Sanche7
Come on!
Come on!
9pm guys.... just stretch this out till 9
Not a chance I should think. Noon is the deadline and there's not a peep. Given how long medicals can take, unless we did one on the quiet in London and are planning to just announce him, sign the papers and register immediately, we're out of time. Oh and then there's the whole "training with the team" bit too...
ManUtd fans have been wengered
Yeah. Easiest thing in the world being a sports journalist. "Looks big, strong, and is a Frenchman of African origin playing in midfield? Next Vieira!", "Brazilian attacker? Next Ronaldo / Neymar / Ronaldinho (based on shape)".
Did he play for Arsenal against Forest in the cup? If not then he could play against Yeovil. If he's cup-tied and not registered, we won't see him until Jan 31st away at Spurs...
Can't believe it's Friday and it's still no nearer, definitely won't be making his utd Appearance this weekend. I wonder what the reason is for the delay. If I hear another 24hrs today I'm going to scream
He didn't play in the cup, so yes he can play for us.
It's D-Day isn't it ?
Today is the day. I can feel it @harshad
Doesnt seem like it. More like waiting day.
Another irritating article about the deal from Mike Keegan in Mailonline. Basically lists City's many noble reasons for not going through with the deal and sees it as another example of United's "scattergun transfer policy" since SAF retired.
Meh!
Meh!
took a week off just so i can press f5.. it must be today!
Is it midday for him to be able to play against Burnley?
I thought for a heady few minutes that Mkhi would be this, our new talisman.
Boy was I wrong.
This needs to be announced by 12 if we're planning of using him tomorrow.
Are we seriously delaying this so much?
I am started to get worried now...
I am started to get worried now...
Here's a question i've been pondering about, do we think we have signed Sanchez to permanently occupy that RW role? Ive been thinking about it and i'm not so sure anymore, I mean i'm sure he will be playing there from time to time but knowing he can pretty much play through all the front positions makes me feel like he's Ibra's replacement that just so happens was available for us to sign more than a our pure RW option. I guess it will be telling if we go on to sign Lucas Moura or someone like Pulisic in the summer who's more of an orthodox RW, interesting times ahead at least (baring this doesn't fall through 
)
)Think we will get to 19000 before this ends.
1. I think we're overpaying him a little if the numbers reported are accurate, but in terms of the effect on future transfers, I believe the answer is very little. These wages are a fraction of our club's turnover. And in terms of Bale, most sensible United fans would not want him anyway; great player in theory but incredibly injury prone.
2. Mata extended his contract a few weeks ago, I don't think he's likely to be affected. Even if Sanchez does end up taking his place in the team (which is far from certain) Mata can still make important contributions for us.
3. I wouldn't say its worth it just to stop Pep and City. Sanchez is a proven matchwinner; a player able to create something from nothing. You need players like that in order to win titles. It's like Jose said: when a player like that becomes available, you do anything you can to sign him. Especially if you don't have another player like him.
4. Mata and Lingard are probably under the greatest threat. I think he will start of on the right for us (sort of as an inverted winger) before eventually moving to the #10 role. He'll make the occasional appearance at LW as well. Frankly it doesn't matter much where he plays, he's quality regardless.
5. I'd consider targeting Griezmann if I thought he was going to a rival, but that kind of player is probably less of a priority now. We will probably prioritize a 3rd midfielder to play with Matic and Pogba so we can play a 4-3-3 and give the latter the freedom he merits.
6. I don't think we will catch City but as they slow down he will bring us close. We're really buying him for next season. I honestly believe that if we'd had him since the start of this season we'd be nipping at City's heels right now.
I personally don't think its a gamble at all; its a no-brainer. He's perfect for us in so many ways and I think he'll have a big effect on us.
Picture the scene..Press room filled with journos ready with questions, they’re waiting and waiting suddenly José stumbles in with two dogs and an open bottle of Casillero Del Diablo, Slurring his words he says “Money over Pep” and “these dogs have never been accused of match-fixing” all of a sudden pyrotechnics go crazy a group of Chilean miners are carrying Sanchez in the air like a god, the journos go wild and José confirms he starts Saturday at Burnley.Events List for today-
- 9.00Am Players report for training, interesting to see if mkhi is there
- 12 pm deadline to Register sanchez for Burnley game

Why bother giving them the clicks? The same guys probably moan endlessly about how the WC shouldn't have gone to Qatar given their human rights' record, while also praising PSG and City for their "fabulous football". United sells. Clickbait involves using our name and that's it.
Got a feeling he will be announced this evening or more likely on Saturday.
So no change yet? Good, I’m glad I’ve not missed any of the muppetry madness today’s that day fellow muppets!
