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.

I haven't followed any press release from them. But I know that because they are a stock market listed club, the only one in Germany, according to law they have to release all important information they are aware of and which could potentially influence the stock price.
A potential income of over 100M is definitely such an information, even if it is only 'potential'. In this case I guess that it means that they have put him on the market, found interested parties, and were listening to offers. Hence the announcement.
In reality, this pressure for public announcements has in the past usually worked against them, because they had to make public much more information than they wanted.
I'm not worried about this, We'll get it done in my opinion, We need to stay calm
I didn't understand the meltdown earlier, It's a game of who blinks first, I want this done, I'm fed up with the saga to be honest.
Says who?
Not your average Hogwarts now is it Houdini.
A Bayern fan
Just watched the clip of Scholes, RVP and Hargreaves all agreing Dortmund are bluffing with their comments today and Sancho will be a United player.
I feel a lot more confident now hearing it from them and not the endless stream of twitter journalists.

It must be true then.
They most likely know feck all tbh
Yeah, I dont think they're bluffing this time. Plus I dont think Sancho will kick up a fuss either.
Pay up or it’s not going to happen, especially with that contract reveal (bet they loved that the fecks)
Zorc the defiler speaks crap so it’s still on !

I'm sure Fergie would have rather signed Yorke before the season started. It has happened in the past, of course, but it's certainly not preferable to having a signing wrapped up in good time before the season starts.
Not bad, I must admit.
Indeed. They're football fans on a platform,that's it.
Sadly Rashford hasn't been the same since the back injury. A lot of people on here seem to be forgetting he was unstoppable before that. He was dreadful tonight and hasn't been great but lets hope he can turn his game around because I'd rather have Sancho on the right in the position we have been lacking for years on end...
It is NOT over. Sancho will be OUR player soon. Just WATCH this space. Have hope and don't fear.
Because they dont care. They want to keep him. Not sure why anybody here believes they WANT to sell. They dont. So they have nothing to lose. Sancho will play for Dortmund next season will do well and will be more expensive when bayern, real, barca, come knocking. But if theyre wrong and Sancho goes for cheaper, they are willing to take the risk as Sancho makes them a better team and gives them a better chance to win the Bundesliga and CL which is priceless especially as BM have been dominating.
People aren't taking this deadline seriously are they?
Dortmund clearly want to sell. It's just brinksmanship.

Did Ole say anything in the post match comments about Sancho?
Person,woman,man,camera,tv.
Feels like every other post in this thread is from a Newbie
I really used to like Dortmund, they play exciting football most of the time and are the only club really able to at least threaten Bayern's dominance.
However, over the last few years I really came to despise their MO: they lure young talents with the promise of playing time and if they attract the attention of top clubs, they are allowed to go.
At least thats the promise, when in fact, as the time comes for players to leave and top clubs come knocking, they just price them out of a move.
They do that every single time and out of pure greed. They bought Sancho for 8m, why is, I don't know, 80m for example, not enough profit? Why does it have to be 112m? So Watzke can pat himself on the back again for being such a tough guy and then cry again when Bayern come for their players? Dembele had to go on strike to leave that shithole.
If you sell yourselves as a stepstone club, then don't do everything possible to trip the youngsters on their path. If the stories about intermediaries used in negotiations are true, that just shows how they really just aim to make it even harder to leave them.
Thats just a shitty attitude and I really don't care that much about the Clubs that deal with them, if they pay up their ridiculus fees, so be it. It's just unfair to their young players.
I also would like to know where the Dembele money went, as Dortmund are not really known to substantially invest.

No rape or pedo jokes that goes without saying I know what some of you are like.
Man that’s even rough for me.
This will happen sooner or later imo.
Sorry to burden you with our presence
We should
One was on the pitch?
Perhaps not details of the transfer, but two of them have been involved in big transfers themselves, they've been there before
Greenwood will score 20+ from RW next season and Dortmund will come back begging for 70mil.
You’ve gone against what you said literally about 10 words earlier. That’s fantastic form.
I find it odd that so many Bayern fans are in here lapping up the negativity around the deal.
Why you even arsed?

If we ever manage to sign him then we should all flood Dortmunds page with the same caption as him wearing a United jersey.
Think this one is dead, Dortmund wont budge on the fee and dont see Sancho handing in a transfer request.
This is as bad as the Greizmann fiasco.
Dortmund are in the process of destroying us.
Well played.
Well played.
I think it's different, but it's tough indeed.
Yeah, evil Dortmund not letting the elite clubs feck them in the arse. They should just shut the feck up and offer discounts to Real Madrid and Manchester United because what the hell are they thinking, trying to hold on to their best players or get good money for them. The bastards.
A few are sadly.
My favourite part of the meltdown is people thinking that United knew nothing about the contract extension he signed last year. As if we just found out today and Woodward was sitting at home watching TV spitting his coffee out when he heard Zoruc make the announcement.
The fact that Dortmund has taken so much time to announce he is staying just makes me feel more secure about him joining us. Its in our hands 100%, if we pay he will come here, Dortmund are just fooling around they clearle want to sell.
They're a selling club that market themselves as a stepping stone for talented youth. It's not like they're going to do anything with the cash anyway.
Not a burden, but the system is designed for quality control, so when more than half the posts on each page are from newbies there will inevitably be a drop in quality. Not taking shots at individuals, so don't be so sensitive
Agree on the transfer request aspect. Doesn't seem like that kind of person and has no reason to do so.
