Still got the hair dyed red I wonder

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) discuss United's progression to the FA Cup Semi Final after a crazy win over Fulham at Old Trafford. They also talk about the latest on the sale of the club and whether they would prefer to be owned by Jim Ratcliffe or Sheikh Jassim. But before all that they are joined by special guest Natalie to discuss Man Utd Women - who are currently riding high at the top of the WSL. Can they actually win the league?
They bought him for €75m and given AdL's previous approach to transfers there's no chance they let him go for less than what they paid.
You might want to check that. I doubt Lille signed a player for €75m.
Napoli did, from Lille.
They were talking about David, I think
My bad bro. I was meant to be talking about David.
Does anyone else remember when it looked like we were certain to signed him so he dyed his hair red cos he was all excited and then we binned him off and bought Lukaku?
Poor Alvaro. I hope he still has the dye handy, I think he's gonna need it.

I like Morata, but that's way too much
Don’t buy him. Loan him like Juventus did every time they wanted him
Morata is more than good enough to be our back up option.
Give them Ronaldo and 5-10 million pound.
29 million for a spanish international striker? i think that's reasonable
Way too much but if we can find a low cost (under 20m) deal then I'm all for it.
Shite finisher but I think he's an alright striker. Far from happy with signing him but don't think he's as bad as people make out. I've tended to think his all round play is good and he's a hard worker. Doesn't have the pace of Welbeck but the sort of player I think can cause problems without being a real threat himself. Not high praise but it has its uses.
feck off 
Can I just shock you?
I like Alvaro Morata
I like Alvaro Morata
despite what I just said then
Only has a year on his deal. Can’t be anything over 20m surely!?
Yeah something in that region, £15m plus some addons maybe
That is a genuinely mental fee at this point. I don't hate the idea of Morata but they were trying to sell him to Juve in the summer and no way were they asking for a fee in that range from them. They really need him out of the door, I would prefer a loan but if we were buying I think the 8M offered for Arnautovic sounds fair.
Had a wiki-up. He's never been a goal machine, has he?
He's a pretty mediocre (at best) finisher, but provided something like a goal or assist every 130 mins last season. Not fantastic, not terrible. His allround game is great, though
Of all the washed up, clubs can't wait to get rid of, not trained on, bad egg, sort of players that we have opened the door to been linked to, then Morata is probably the one I'd be least depressed about us signing.
Memphis would be cheaper and younger
Morata is far better with his back to howl than Memphis. That’s what ETH is looking for. Memphis would be similar in profile to our other attackers.
Would be quite happy with this personally. Like him a lot.
And shitter
Morata wouldn't be bounced around annually like it's a tradition if he was that better
I’d take him just to bolster our striker options. He will offer some kind of depth at least. We can’t be going into games with Eriksen as false 9. I know he’s been a meme at times but he’s better than he showed at Chelsea.
We are in such a colossal mess
Memphis has been at Lyon and now Barca are desperate to get rid. It’s hardly a positive in the Memphis column.
The less shitter option is Morata. Neither are great.
Yeah, playing for Chelsea, Real Madrid, Juventus and A.Madrid proves that he's poor eh!?
Barcelona bought 3 strikers in the past 6 months, they need to get rid of wages.
He was still their top scorer and is actually being chased after by the club Morata has played for the past 2 seasons and aren't in for his permanent signature this summer.
I don't believe that Morata is better at all.
ahh i didn't realise he only had a year
Swap him with Ronaldo.
Why didn't any of those clubs sign him up for more than a year at a time?
If he was as good as you think he'd have found a real home years ago
