Hardly a good move by Fergie since we are 100m poorer as a result of it.

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.
Unlike most of our signings who do just that before an official announcement?
Well worth it to keep him away from Moyes and Vangal
Ooh. Playing the long game, the cunning old fox.
Could you imagine a post match interview with Pogba and Zlatan? 
Thanks.
Sometimes i wonder if the muppets would rather reach 1000 pages than for United to sign Pogba.
Or Pogba and JonesCould you imagine a post match interview with Pogba and Zlatan?
Well of course! I just find all the posts about reaching 1000 pages instead of fantasizing about Pogba back at United to be a bit weird.
Kind of hoping both happen at the same time, tbh. 1000 pages and we officially get our guy.
"We knew we'd have to make sure we remained tough to beat against Hull, especially on their own turf. To concede a goal so late on is gutting but there are plenty of positives in this defeat..."Could you imagine a post match interview with Pogba and Zlatan?

A scintillating, titillating almost visceral image.
It is not so easy, we were in the red zone and the law of murphy is to blame.
I just don't think you're fully buying into this.
Wasn't he voted the best English sports journo of 2015 or something? MEN were also very good on us last summer, where Luckhurst is by far the most ITK in terms of United from there. I can't really say about their sources since LVG left, but I'd bet that he knows a hell of a lot more than any ITK on here.
One of many terrible moves by fergie 2009-13, just like summer 2009
No chance in terms of United imo and I'd say he's biased towards City. He was one of the main culprits writing about how United got rejected when Laporte signed a new deal (clearly gets briefed from City).
As in him signing? Think i've been aboard that train for a week or so.

Actually we should be glad that Fergie got rid of Pogba when he did. Controversial you say, well consider this:
- We went to shit shortly after
- We would in no way be able to get £100m for Pogba
- Raiola and Pogba would have engineered a move and transfer request during our barren years under Moyes and LvG
- Madrid would have pinched him from us for a measly £50m
- Pogba would never again have played for MUFC. And having him during the two baboons spell would just be a waste
So in conclusion, even though it was bitter to loose him for a pittance, we would have lost him a few years down the road anyways, and never have the chance to have him play for us again.

Now the Luckhurst tweet about Getty releasing Pogba pictures. Why don't they just announce the bloody deal already?
What is Getty?
Is this a big deal?
Getty releasing images of pogba for the sake of all are sanity just announce it already my god getting frustrating when we all know the conclusion.
Exactly how I feel about it too.
He's become a far superior player at Juve then he would have under Moyes and LVG IMO.
Its on again.
Getty Images. Stock photo site.
Was he not going to be in Manchester last week. Or was it the week before?
I'm sure I read that he was going to be announced today.
In fact come to think of it, I'm sure I read that it would be announced in 48 hours.
I do find it strange that journalists make their own timetable and people believe it.
It'll be announced when the clubs/player are ready.
I think the deal is agreed, but beyond that, no journalist knows what's going on. The bolded part is 100% evident.
You pay for every 'getty' image you want to use, right?
They could see this as a goldmine with every news article wanting to use images of Pogba in a United shirt.
An image bank. Or more accurately, THE image bank - they basically own the vast majority of stock and reportage photos out there.
Yep - transfers really were quite poor after the summer (2008?) when we bought Nani, Ando, Hargreaves, and rented Tevez. The old school stubbornness of not wanting to deal with modern agents wound up costing us in terms of success.
The most obvious answer to the delay is that they're waiting on Pogba's holiday to end to finalise it, makes more sense to wait and save yourself from something possibly going wrong, than to confirm a deal being agreed like happened with Aaron Ramsey.
So just wait until his holiday ends.
So just wait until his holiday ends.
Why would getty be in the know?
As Raiola said on Twitter: It's just a race between Italian and English media about who is going to break the news first. Probably the first and only true thing he's said. Journos have clearly been briefed somehow, but apparently not about when the deal is being announced.
If we are going to believe Luckhurst then he's made Van Gaal seem like an even shitter manager than I thought he was (quite an achievement) by claiming it was Van Gaal's decision to nix the Kroos and Vidal deals. Fecking eejit.
I can't wait to actually discuss Pogba as a player and how he will work in Mourinho's system tactically, as opposed to this waiting for confirmation bullshit. If you would have told me this time last week it would still be rumbling on I'd have jumped out a fecking window.
I don't think they know. Samuel Luckhurst has just said that they have released dozens of old photos from Pogba's time at United. That could be a coincidence, but the timing would be strange. But don't shoot the messenger. I'm just stating what Luckhurst said.
They wouldn't, they're making hay from the current media frenzy.
even though those buys came in 2007, summer 2008 buying berbatov really was downhill from there and we could not even keep our best player. No question fergie messed up buying a inconsistent forward who was best staying at spurs which was at his level. Fergie just never seemed to even improve positions taken up by average players, anderson, valencia, young, cleverley, welbeck, berbatov, the list goes on with players not up to the task. While sanchez, modric, suarez, robben, WS, toure, even pogba who was ours manages to leave us, just the same when losing ronaldo, which sums the club up, the rest all went to our rivals, and here we are
