We can't afford to do that, unfortunately. We have too many problems to sort out. No CL money incoming either.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

Yeah, probably the right decision to let this kid go, we have more urgent matters needing care at this point.
Why do we need to pay more to benfica if they accept liverpool's? we just need to outmuscled his offered wages.
Now that the scousers are getting him, all these rationalisations are starting to emerge. But regardless, he would fit better within a Klopp system than what we perceive to be a ETH United's version.Hope he turns out to be an Andy Carroll but I suspect he will be a massive hit in that system. Then a bunch of caftards will be questioning why the management and ETH, in particular, didn't go hard for Nunez. Another United management fail.
The 20/20 hindsight crew.
Didn't know he was that quick. Hopefully his first touch knocks it out of play at every opportunity
One more big money transfer and Jurgen 'hypocrite' Klopp haven't resigned.
Simples.
He will claim TFI -- Transfer Fee Inflation caused by post-Covid/supply chain issues, soaring petrol prices and the UKR War. 80million is bog-standard now.
Yeah but he broke record for 2 positions just 18 and 24 months after he came up with that shit interview. In between paid big money for Keita.
I think someone asked and he said he was wrong if I'm not wrong.
But truth be told, we wouldn't have minded this hypocrite to be our very own hypocrite though.
Add ons have always been a thing?
Might be good, might be bad. Anyway he shouldn't close the gap to city and Haaland so... 
Agreed, shame he is managing Liverpool.
But truth be told, we wouldn't have minded this hypocrite to be our very own hypocrite though.
Unfortunately if he gets a choice between us and Liverpool and he cares about more than money, he’ll go pool. The position of the two clubs presently it’s a no brainier. He’s not the good striker out there though.
We paid £35m less for Sancho.
BVB wanted £108m up front in 2020 we paid £73m in 2021 agreed to be paid over 5 years. Not the best example to use for this argument

This might push them over the top in the league.
We’re still in contact with his agent so there’s a chance but don’t think we’re gonna get this over the line, I hope I’m wrong though.
how is that true? Salah and Mane want to leave because they’re not paid the going rate for a top club. We pay more
I'm fine with 80 million if 40 of those are bonuses based on goals scored/winning the league/individual awards. He does not have this level of international reputation to warrant this type of fee.
He'll go up a level once we diagnose and treat the asthma he's obviously struggling with.

Should be a warning to the rest of the league that the top two teams are not standing still and are adding more firepower to the best attacks in the division by far.
So... that means nothing when they actually put a bid in. Cheers Mark
All reports say he's told Klopp he wants to go to Liverpool, so i'd be very surprised if he chose us unless we offer him insane wages.
To be honest, City just didn't even have an out and out striker outside of Jesus this season so it was obvious they were going to strengthen in that position. Liverpool are losing Mane (and potentially Salah next season) so it makes sense to go in hard for a forward right now before every other team in the world knows we're desperate for attacking players.
It's over, Liverpool have their man and personally, I'm not that fussed as long as we get a CF in.So... that means nothing when they actually put a bid in. Cheers Mark

Liverpool don't have many positional player problems so all they have to do is sell Mane to Bayern for 40M and pay another 40M for Nunez and transfer deals have been done for the season.
Besides we no longer have the pulling power we had some time ago.

And they reportedly want to sign Bellingham next summer, he would be a €100m+ player.
This is pure copium. No chance do Liverpool go public with their interest through their own journalists unless it was genuine.
If we then sign him it's a PR disaster for them.
Yeah no chance it's just a ploy of his agent. He might still end up at United, Atlético or wherever, but if Joyce reports that we are interested / will put in an official bid, he has likely been briefed by the club of our interest. Also, say what you want about Romano but usually he's also on top of such developments.
Yeah this is quite interesting now. Very credible reporters being briefed differently.
True, but I bet you don't stop at 1:1 if Mane is indeed gone.
My guess is, when the time comes he'll have 2 equal offers on the table from Manchester United and Liverpool. It would be up to him to decide between the two + both clubs would fancy their chances.
Very interesting, Ogden really sticking his neck out, but every other journalist seems sure he goes Liverpool.
What differently? I thought all journalists said Liverpool are interested and ready to pay big fee to sign him.
I think this is more or less done.
Mark Ogden just said he thinks the report of a bid from Liverpool is a tactic to smoke out United. I don't think anyone denies there's genuine interest but the degree of how advanced Liverpool's enquiries are seem to be different.
Portugese outlets say Liverpool bid 80m EUR +20m EUR add-ons, if I'm not mistaken. Romano says the same but caveats it's verbal. Not sure what Joyce has said but Ogden reckons news of a bid is more a way of pushing United than being an actual formal offer.
Almost all reliable Liverpool journalists reported it, it would be stupid from Liverpool point of view to do that unless he is very close.
Maybe Ogden is just out of loop, anyways I think once Moyes was sacked, he is not that reliable.
