Do you think there’s any truth in the rumours, given that his release clause is 46m in the summer + his reported fallout with the Inter ultras? Or are they using Man Utd to drum up interest?

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.

Don’t know why anybody would want this nut. This is not how you fix our shambles.
Buy another fancy FM player with dodgy personality. What could go wrong?
Excellent, another clown to the circus.
Please Ed I'm begging you, don't buy Icardi. 
More than Icardi we should use Lukaku for a swap deal with Milan Skriniar. Icardi is a great player, but with a terrible agent, and can only work in a system where he is constantly fed with the assists.
He is too static. Never gets involved in build ups. Only comes alive in the box. Wont solve our problems
Lukaku is worth 40-50m easily in this market if we decide to sell. So trading Lukaku for Icardi does not mean getting Icardi for free.
I wouldn't spend £50m on this nutter. He's Balotelli levels of drama. If he was free I'd take a punt on him. but he's not. We could end up wasting both time and money.
I said I'd entertain a deal for Rabiot but only because he's free which means that if he becomes a burden we can sell him on the cheap and we lose nothing. Rabiot also doesn't cause dressing room drama like this fool.

I've seen him a few times and I don't get where the useless outside the box issues stem from. He's always looked tidy and linked up well, then truly comes alive in the box. If we created chances he'd find a way to get on the end of them and finish. It's what he does. He'd be an upgrade on our other strikers and he was Inter captain for a reason, we lack leaders.
My issue would be his wife and her ranting in the media. If we could shut that mess up then I'd be all for it. The wife stealing accusations seem more complicated than he stole his teammates wife. I've read Maxi was already having an affair and the marriage was over, but I don't know. It's icky.
I'd take a punt on him still.

Good luck. He's not been that successful here in a tougher league, maybe it can work in Italy.
Good luck with the racist abuse he's likely to get too.
I'd rather have Fred West! He'd kill the opposition
We need to get rid of the drama queens not bring more in, this squad needs a full reset and bringing in someone whos got as much emotional/drama baggage as they do talent will not help the squad at all.
I’d keep Lukaku over Icardi. It would be stupid to swap him for a striker of similar level. If someone comes in with a good enough offer then sell Rom if he wants to leave otherwise we have so many other problems.
That's one last sacrifice, Giggs wouldn't mind doing on behalf of the club.....loyal servant and allThis post need more love.
No fecking thanks. I'd rather take 30m for Lukaku than a swap with Icardi
If we offload Lukaku and Sanchez to Inter and get Icardi, that's the best bit of business we have done in a long time.
Icardi is clutch. He's basically a better version of Lukaku.

We should stop getting players that are only playing for money, we already have a bunch of those and they are our biggest problem.
sorry- didn't quite get it.Ok noted. since you watch Inter more, I am sure you know better than me.
I still think he is not in that elite level .
Face it, Ed will be going for either Bale or Icardi. It's about who is the lesser of the two evils. So now who would you choose if you are being forced to?
Lukaku, black, something like that
What the hell are we doing.
I’d much rather jovic and build over the next 2 seasons
I don't know if he cannot do it, but i do know he does not do it.
He doesn't move until he thinks the ball might come to him. He doesn't even attempt to lose his man or make runs until someone is about to play a pass in behind for him or make a cross.
I do agree with you that he is relying on fairly poor crosses at Inter. Naingolan, Brozovic, and Vecino almost never play a forward pass to him.
His attitude/wife is a problem but on the pitch he is tenacious and always up for it. I'd definitely like to see him given a chance here.
Icardi is quality.
Has he ever ended up the top scorer in Serie A at least once? Genuine question
Perfect time for Ed Woodward to approach Dinsey + for reality football show on streaming so his dream come true when he sees United being an adult Disneyland.
Would be all for this but I find it very unlikely. Icardi is very direct and clinical, deadly inside the box which none of forwards are currently. His movement is also great which would be perfect to along side Pogba.
Seems like a bit of a primadonna, dont need any more of those. But I might be wrong.
Twice. He's scored 20+ in 3 of the last 4 seasons.
Say what you like about him but he knows where the net is.
Cheers mate. But so did Lukaku really. He may not be the Prem's top goalscorer very often, but he did have 20 goals consistently for a side like Everton for 2-3 seasons in a row
Trippier + Icardi makes sense.
I do think Icardi is a better overall player than Lukaku though, has a great first touch and far better control than Lukaku. But he comes with a lot of Baggage and drama,
Imagine United signing Icardi, Dybala, Rabiot and Koulibaly. Going full FC Hollywood.

The Everton Lukaku was a good striker. We bought some overweight imposter.
Anyways i trust ole when it comes to strikers. So if he thinks Icardi is good enough , so be it.
Fact that I'm not convinced says it all. We should only buy players that are convincingly good and appropriate.
Why? Because he was a striker himself?
Yes, is that a bad assumption
Perhaps not, but he still needs to prove himself as a manager though.Yes, is that a bad assumption
Ofcourse , I am a big critic of him. Such a wrong appointment before the season was over. But its what it is and so, move on. Lets see what he can do in the summer.
