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.

Do you have any evidence for the bolded claim?
The payment structure is something that would be negotiated at the same time as the fee - as far as I know, there have been no reports suggesting that an agreement has been reached for either the fee or the structure of payments.
Seems like you just want to believe negative news and are a victim of Negative Nancy Syndrome.
I honestly feel that if Sancho does not want to come or if Dortmund are playing hardball, let's go for Havertz who may cost about 20m less. And yes, Havertz is not a RW but I think we could have him play as a RF or a SS. Getting Havertz kinda eliminates the need for another striker as he can play the Firmino role for us with Martial - Greenwood or Rashford - Martial on either end. We cannot get bullied by Dortmund.
In which case, I can see Guardiola and the rest of the team remaining at City and being motivated to win the domestic quadruple.
If we want him, we have to risk paying what Dortmund want. Simply because I don't see us being top of his list when his contract runs down. Now is the chance.
Either you include the community shield in that or they’re going to try and create a new competition due to their European ban.
As long as Liverpool don’t win the PL again next year I’m all for it.We need to ensure we get our 21st before they get their 20th.
But I honestly think City may not win it again next year as their defence is highly questionable. They need at least 1 if not 2 CBs. Stones looks like he’s leaving this summer for sure. Otamendi is still as unreliable as ever. They’re one injury away to Laporte from being in trouble again.
Anyways my apologies if I seemed to be drifting away from the topic (Sancho) in this thread..
Haha... Jose counted that as one of his trophies
This is months old mate. Keep up.
Our fans, hahaha.. I guess they kept writing this line till it synced with him drinking water
How could you not be aware of the water sipping at this stage?What about 70M Euros cash and another 30 millions(10M each on league win, Champions league win and ballndor win)
Dortmund would laugh in our faces after getting about that much in cash for a near 30 y/o Aubameyang and unproven Pulisic along with much much more for a lesser player in Dembele
They're a very prideful (read as stubborn) club and wouldn't hesitate to drive down his contract until the end like they did with Lewandowski if they felt like it and didn't receive an offer to their liking
He's talking about how football clubs deal with transfer fees in their accounting. It's spread over the length of the contract.
Yes, the fee is amortized over the length of the player's contract, but that has nothing whatsoever to do with the payment structure.
He said that the "cost" (ie the payments to Dortmund) would be spread over the full length of Sancho's contract, thereby making the deal more affordable for United - that is a different claim entirely and one which he presumably can evidence in some way. Otherwise, he is completely wrong.
I’m aware this sounds like BS, but one of my best mates (who is literally sat next to me in my living room now) cousin owns Elite Sports who represent Sancho. Well, her husband co-owns it anyway, but she also works there in press. Anyway, his (my mate) brother just text him than Sancho is going to United, that their ‘cousin let it slip’. Of course, I have no idea of the context, whether it was said on the basis of everything we already know (i.e - a deal is being discussed) or more definitively than that - but I am repeating.
I’m a grown ass man and have no desire to make shit up, for the record. My assumption is that it was probably said in the way that anyone else would probably say ‘Sancho is going to United’. I don’t know the context of the conversation, but it hasn’t excited me anymore than I already was. I’d be surprised if any agreements were reached at this stage, although I am just an interneter and have no real insight into how deals are done. I remember reading that, for all the talk of a ‘saga’ - Pogba’s deal to join United (from Juventus) was done in just two meetings. If I hear more, I’ll tell more - but one thing for certain is that the family are owners at Sancho’s agency. He had told me ages ago in passing, and about other players they represent, and is not a United fan and isn’t invested.

If we somehow get this deal done I can see Sancho providing cover for Bruno as well so our midfield looks sorted for the time being but I really hope we can move some deadwood and bring in a CB.
I don’t trust Lindelof/Bailly alongside Maguire in big games and Axel isn't a complete player yet either.
Never in doubt. Done dealio.
So Obasi then? I guess they dont know either if Man Utd will pay up (even if they know what Sancho wants).
SanchOn like a hard-on
Quick and easy way to verify this what’s their name?
So let me get this this right, is it JadON or SanchON ?
Who will Sancho assist first? I've got a funny feeling it'll be Rashford.
SO who gets dropped for this guy?
Lingard
The other one. Obasi is a co-owner, Taofeek is the other, who is my mate’s cousin’s wife. She’s PA to some of the players herself.
Greenwood will continue to be eased in, so obviously him. Or Lindelof, just because you know, he's not the best.
I asked this the other day. Apparently it's not an issue.
75% owner and only director of business...
Seems fishy to me...
Sancho will move to United but this smells “ITK”
Not sure why someone who has been on here 8 years would suddenly randomly decide nows the time to be an ITK twat, so I believe Rozay. In Rozay I trust. It's on.
Whilst you cant knock the guy's numbers in terms of assist and goals in the Bundesliga, I still feel cautious about splashing upwards of 80 million for this guy because of past experiences with signing players from dortmund that looked world class and flopped once coming to the premier league and based on England performances sterling and rashford seem to be a bit better than what sancho has shown.
Nobody. We will be in some form of European competition next season. Players will be rotated because we can't play the same team every three days. Our current backup attackers are not anywhere close to showing the quality of our main three forwards so we do need him.
What you on about? Mikhitsomethingorother was outstanding.
I’m not about to interrogate him on the daily ins and outs. And I know enough about these private firms to know that whatever is on the paperwork doesn’t necessarily determine input and access. Could just be who put up the most money in the start or whatever. I do know that at their wedding all the young black footballers were there (they represent a load of them - and Todd Cantwell!).
Someone has to drop out for him to come in.
Of course it will improve your depth and options from the bench but if you buy Sancho, he's a starter, that means someone in your team at the moment won't be.
I get what you mean and felt a little apprehensive myself. Then I remembered they have Haaland and had Hakimi. If someone told me we were signing either of them, I wouldn't be worried at all.
Sancho is an English player, who came up from the English system, built for the English game, Dortmund literally just gave him the game time to flourish, he was made here. Utterly baffling to be worried about it, truly baffling.
