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.

Well done mate. Your a newbie and you saw straight through the sh*t from the off, if I could ‘like’ your post I would.
Many take the blue pill and live in denial.
Yeah just hand over £120m. Easy.
Fixed
Yes come on Ed, rise from the ashes like a Phoenix and slap a fat sweaty wad of cash across the enemy Zorc’s chops
Yeah that is a certainty Utd still have confidence they can get deal done
Probably because its a complicated deal unlike their other transfers? Where the clubs just come in and negotiate 5m or whatever. This is their biggest deal since Dembele
Still boring. Reckon it will happen after the europa league.
Every big transfer we make is boring.
Every big transfer we make is boring.
Take your advice and ignore the thread. I still believe it can happen. The goodwill Sancho has can turn now that Dortmund want to play hardball. Sancho could hand in a request and pressurise them to cut a deal.
That's not the issue though, is it?
It's that they want a lot more upfront than we want to pay in a lump sum?
Lichesteiner is mentioned again, so what's the story with Dembele? And why do they do that exactly?
So many variable factors to this deal but today changes nothing for me . Journalists on twitter , fan cam pages , itk’s just have till October to re-invent the same info every day due to our constant craving as fans for updates . This is no more a saga than any other clubs deals , ours are just played out in public as we generated more traffic than any other club , like we used to sell more papers.
All I do know is no matter how much or little we spend before October is that the Glazers get their dividends.
If you are pinning all your hopes this summer on Sancho then do yourself a favour and don’t get wound up by Woodward , Judge , Arnold , every penny goes through the Glazers and they report to them, so any dragging of a deal is more down to that than their incompetence , also be prepared to be potentially disappointed ,
Covid has hit massively and our match day receipts have took a huge kick in the balls and we don’t know when or if capacity will be at a maximum again , not many clubs could take that kind of hit and be making £100 , 000, 000 transfers whilst losing almost the same in revenue . Something has to give and to me I think we may have to raise money before we can invest in the squad but I could be wrong .

Ed's been busy.
Sounds like this deal is going nowhere. Chances of him coming have certainly diminished today.
OK, well then will we pay that upfront?
Edit: Actually, come to think of it I think even the overall price might still be an issue but perhaps I'm wrong.
United have two months to complete this.
But yeah carry on panicking.

And do wee need a reminder of their finances and the fact Sancho started on the bench the latter part of the season? I think not. Stay strong!
People have forgotten what £120m actually looks like. It's play money to them.
Just imagine how much cheese you could buy for £120m. Actually try to imagine a huge skyscraper of Cathedral City looming over you. Rashford could feed the country for a month with that much cheese.
No. That just doesn't happen anymore.
One thing is clear dortmund won't reduce their asking price and are not interested in add ons bs which seems Woodward's most liked way of getting things.
So no point wasting time. If younare interested then pay the money and get over with, if not move onto the next target. If we don't make any movements this month, I wouldn't be surprised if Dortmund actually refuse to sell him for any price.

Shot ourselves in the foot with the Maguire deal I suspect. Didn’t we pay that transfer outright?
Hello Mike.
Quite funny listening to Hargreaves on BT.Saying Dortmund just a selling club and United will still get Sancho 
.Stay strong muppets, we'll still get our man.
.Stay strong muppets, we'll still get our man.It’s seeming like a brief is coming out of the club that we are still trying. Why would they do that if they didn’t have belief that they could pull this off. Naive belief, but belief nevertheless.
Spoons.
What is the purpose of these briefs? Dortmund are not going to sell for anything lower than their set price so either pay up or move onto the next target. Also blaming the wages and fees is implying that the transfer fee is not the only hurdle. This looks to be moving towards Dybala territory.
So embarrassing, not just putting £120m on the table in a pandemic.
After all those other clubs have spent similar... oh wait.
Partially but from what I understand it's also a way to have total control of negotiations, iirc they are using Lichtsteiner again and he is basically their man without actually being their man, they control the pace of negotiations and you can't accelerate things or take short cuts outside of agreeing with their terms.
Always with this "Brief" business, just because a couple of journos both say it's on or off at the same time!
Are you suggesting it's a coincidence that they all say the same thing at the same time?
Well when they have a history of being briefed and them always parroting what seems to fall in line with the narrative that would best suit Woodward. Then most of the time it looks like they’ve been briefed.
That is actually the first time I heard of this. Not saying that this is not necessarily true but I was always under the impression that this deal was negotiated on a very high level as Stade Rennes owner Pinault is the son of the patriach of the Pinault familly who in turn owns Puma, which is not only the shirt sponsor but also a major share holder of Borussia Dortmund. This connection was my primary explanation for the very good terms Dortmund signed Dembele for.
they all come out with basically the same stuff within a couple of minutes
it's obvious.£108m not £120m.
Just needs to sell couple of more players and it's done deal. Sancho is coming home, lads.
Sounds like Dawson has been reading Romano's tweets
In other words, Dortmund actively wanted their own deadline to not be met? Possibly to show off like they did today?
It wouldn't get you a huge amount of Vacherin. That's a very expensive cheese.
More like 5-6 saying the exact same thing at the same time.
