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.

Annoyingly City have Chelsea’s version of that scenario, bloody KDB.
Amazing for BVB.
@Lash I just read The Guardian article again and it states that we will pay a further €20m in performance related add ons. And those add ons I presume will be achievable if BVB do accept.
I'm from Yorkshire, don't expect me to grammar right
We just need a catchy acronym now. JAM? MMS? RMS?
Either way, it's on!

£90m is a steal for Sancho. £110m is a steal for Sancho.
Forget this 'COVID marketplace' stuff...that certainly applies at a lower level but it doesn't apply when you're in a competitive market for a premium asset. The price of Ferrari's or Picasso's won't go down because of COVID...

I only care what happens on the field, his price tag and price of other players mean absolutely nothing to me and it shouldn't to most fans. Honestly baffles me how fans talk and moan about prices.
It's been reported by a unreliable Italian outlet. I would wait for confirmation from Di Marzio or Romano.

His numbers are even more impressive if you consider that all of his goals came from open play and only two of his assists were from corners.
Imagine at least one of Rashford. Martial, Greenwood or Sancho always available on the bench (at least 9 times out of 10) - now we are talking depth up front
This is the stage we are in now. Deal is almost done. Some muppets will now be focussing on the flipping price tag. It will go on and on until he's unveiled as our player.
Is he as roughly as good as Ronaldo was after 4 years with us? The year before he scored 40+ goals?
Its quite amazing that that at 20, he's still got plenty of development left in him. Exciting times!

Amazing depth, just need it now in midfield and defence. Which Ole is hopefully building towards.
Oh ok. Thanks, I couldn't be bothered to create a free account
.you've just contradicted yourself.
The reason we are getting him for a 'steal price' is because of the deflated covid19 football economy.
And even further once he has a bad few games, it'll get flung in his face by our own fans.
He’s still only 20! I guess Woodward is being cautious to avoid another Memphis Depay scenario plus BVD know they have us by the short and curries. Reckon the published fee will be £90m plus add ins but we’ll pay in instalments. It would help if we got Sanchez off the books ASAP.
The 06/07 Ronaldo?
Not sure he will get close to those figures, he's a slightly different player.
More involved in the build up, and more of an assister. Don't go expecting a goal a game like Ronaldo.
Tell me more tell me more, does he have 2 big dogs...
It's a good fee given market realities but its still quite a bit less than what they got from Barca for a lesser player in Dembele years back
yes. The season scored 18 goals I think.

Back in my lurking days, the Sneijder one was amazing viewing.
Allegedly he is inter bound this week.
I've been imaging how we play with a front 3 of Sancho, rashford and martial for weeks together now and getting giddy at the prospect.
Can't effing wait for this.
With greenwood and James from the bench and pogba and bruno feeding from midfield.
Talk about watching football being a joy again

I am not going to respond to posters like this.
From the sound of things Daniel Harris got this one spot on.
Ronaldo was insane that season, think he scored around 25 overall and his ability to pick the ball up and dribble/sprint half the pitch is something I haven’t seen much of. If Sancho is at that level, I don’t think he’s there yet, then we’re in for a treat.
Ronaldo 06/07 is one of my personal favourites from a player ever.
I can see it looks that way in isolation but I'm responding to the posters moaning about us paying £90m in this 'COVID marketplace' (there are a few)
And you just responded to him.
Favourite bit of that is the lovely little through ball to Haaland after drawing those players to him
This! I'm sure many on this forum have in fact discussed the price of Sancho MORE than Ed Woodward has. Let that sink in.We've finally seen the template of the marketplace during COVID. Prices will not drop for top talent....teams will simply change how they pay for the players. Maybe by significantly reducing initial fees. All that talk about cheaper fees was simplistic thinking, particularly for players deemed valuable.
It's always a mark of his sources that he puts his neck on the line to such an extent and is bold enough to even state contract length. All the others will now parrot him despite not being the ones to get the scoop.
His wages could send ripples around the club as Pogba's re-negotiations are very probably underway and Fernandes will be up for payrise, too. Rashford, despite having not long gotten a new contract, must surely be curious, too.
£300k p/w would not be a surprise. Interested in seeing the breakdown, if we're privy to it.
