There's no need, we do the majority of our business outside of the transfer windows, it may be done in the next week.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

I dont think that we'll get him or that we need him. Ok he is good and versatile but let's face, we are talking here about a 25m signing for a right footed winger whose more comfortable upfront. Do we need that?
Nope we don't need him, but apparently we've contacted them (udinese) with regards to him.
We contact many players each year.
and this year we've contacted Udinese about him.
I m thinking this deal ain't going to happen either. Nani did well on the left against Southampton. I know they are not a strong team but he still did well. With Valencia on the right and Nani on the left, I really don't see a place for Sanchez in our side.
And we will still have Park and Giggs next season as well. We have enough strikers as well and he is certainly not the player who can play straight down the middle like a central midfielder.

I only expect us to sign a goalie and Sotiris Ninis.
I prefer Hamsik to Ninis.
hamsik is also 3 times the price of ninis, both in fee and wages.
as do I at the moment, I think everyone on this site knows my feelings towards Hamsik ( who had a belter of a match against Sampdoria, Cavani got the headlines, Hamsik directed the show), he is a player who could come in a do a job for us straight away and become mr consistent, but I believe Ninis could be a bit special, as in very, very special.
There is that as well.
Goal said that SAF sent a letter to Defour and that Fletcher got jealous or something of that kind.
SAF sending a letter to Defour is true but I m not sure about Fletcher getting jealous thing. This letter thing happened almost a year ago. I think it was last Feb-March was when Defour got injured.
gamibit, don't let him convince you so easily like that. 3 times as much because thats how valuable he would be to any team and he only deserves parity of wages as a result. He was made for United damnit!
I'd really like to see him sign.
For no reason other than he reminds me of 05/06 Ronaldo.

Nonsense. He's just 5 years younger so he can most certainly be better than Valencia come that age.
Sanchez is more versatile than Valencia but that is besides the point, he is a very special talent, it would be a shame if we didn't follow through on our interest, he's made for Manchester United IMO.
Sorry, what I meant was he has much more potential than Valencia.
Yep. He has more potential than pretty much any other winger in the world that's his age. He's a very special talent. I want him.
He's right footed though and in a position where we're fairly well stocked. I doubt it will happen.
Yeah Giggs will be retire at the end of next season. So we don't have to sign him for another year. He can't play regularly if we sign him in the summer. We will have Nani, Valencia, Obertan, Giggs, Park, Bebe and then Sanchez. I know Sanchez is going to be a better player than Valencia but there is no use spending 25m on him this summer.
Steven Defour also said that sir Alex sent him a keep your chin up letter after a nasty knock he took and that he'd be following his career. That wasn't a we're coming to get you letter. Udinese chief confirmed that Manchester United have made enquiries about the availability of Sanchez, very different things.
Why "by a mile" ?
He was, chances of him coming with our we buy potential players for value make it a very unlikely scenario. Still I will keep burning the candle.gamibit, don't let him convince you so easily like that. 3 times as much because thats how valuable he would be to any team and he only deserves parity of wages as a result.

If signing him means dropping Valencia, then no thanks.
Because when I've seen Sanchez in various games be the main force of the side's attack. All the times I have seen Hazard he has been as effective as Quaresma. When the opposition have contained Chile or Udinese, Sanchez has still been a very real threat throughout the game and able to create something out of nothing. When I've seen Lille being contained, Hazard is ineffectual.
I agree with your description of Sanchez but about Hazard I suggest you to watch more matches.He started slowly this season but since the last 2-3 months he has carried (with Sow) Lille to the first place in the league.
Hazard is currently a lot better than Quaresma has ever been, the comparison just indicates me you haven't watched enough of him
Seen him about 10 times over the last 2 seasons so your probably right I haven't seen enough.
That should be enough to notice that he makes a lot of bad choices. Frustrating player. Huge potential though. Fantastic pace and acceleration (obviously more of that than Hazard), but all in all I would prefer Hazard ten out of ten. To compare Hazard with Quaresma, and in the next moment praise Sanchez, is just stupid.
Hold on, who are you talking about, your agreeing with me then disagreeing?
My bad, I thought you was talking about Sanchez.
Course there is, Giggs wont play constantly, and if anything might play less. You can't just sign a player immediately when you need them. How about a season to bed in, how about Giggs taking a back seat? How about the fact he might not be available the summer?
It's about having some foresight.
Udinese are a selling club gambit. What makes you think that they haven't said that to arise interest from other clubs and who knows, maybe create an auction?
That is true. I heard Tim Vickery say once that Udinese buy a lot of players from South America and hope at least one of them make it big and get them some transfer fees.
More than likely, It is known that he's now on Inters and Cities radar but we have been linked with him for a few seasons now and we do seem to be his preffered choice.
Well we have heard that before haven't we? It doesn't always turn out that way though. Suarez said in November he would not play for any PL side other than United.
I know. I don't see any place for him in the team once Valencia is fit. As I said I only expect a goalkeeper and Ninis.
The fact Fergie even talked about this player surprised me. He will go in the summer, I just hope it is to us.
I've been following them for quite some time and I can confirm what Vickery said. They have to sell players every year to balance the books. An auction between United, City, Inter and Chelsea for one of their players would be their wet dream.
Looks like their dream will coming true.
