Would be another great addition into our deadwood squad.

Ohh look, you were making shit up and were called on it. Deal with it. The guy has been offered a contract.I forgot 1 performance, who are you the fosu mensah police
He's gone lad deal with it, 1 performance out of 60 doesn't mean anything. The guy can barely control the ball and his positioning is even worse than Wan Bissakas!
Pure madness. The only positive I can’t take from that is he hasn’t instantly signed the new contract given to him and is exploring his options.
Says it all about his ambitions as a footballer if he's happy playing 3 games a year.
Why though? Just release the guy so he can get on with his career.

Good for him. He needs to push on now to play regularly.
Probably best for both parties. Would be nice to sign and sell, to recoup some of the development costs, but TFM isn't good enough as a first team regular and frankly isn't strong enough for the squad, especially given that we have Shaw/Telles combo on the left and we need someone at RB to challenge AWB - TFM isn't that person.
Finally a piece of good news
Agreed. He can have a great career in the Championship or bottom 5 prem team. Whether he develops from there, who knows.

will never forget Steve Howson of full-time devils proclaiming Fosu fecking Mensah the next Bryan Robson!
why do fans do this every year

Howson had a hard on for Timbo. Shame it never worked out for TFM. I thought he looked a great prospect when he was breaking through.will never forget Steve Howson of full-time devils proclaiming Fosu fecking Mensah the next Bryan Robson!

The problem is that Ed's valuation of our deadwood is much higher than potential buyers' valuation , so we just end up paying lots of extra wages for a few games.
They offer everybody a new deal doesn't mean they rate him
Clearly he's realised he's got no future here so he will be off to the scottish premiership or something similar.
Oh feck off offering him another deal, he's utter shite. Let him and all the other deadwood go
Why are we still doing this? Haven't we learnt a thing from Rojo and Jones? Idiotic club. Glad he rejected.
I can sort of see why the club are reluctant to let him leave for nothing but he hasn't had a run in the side for years now - 'protecting value' shouldn't warrant a 3 year deal.
I'm sure he could still amount to something somewhere else but it isn't going to happen for him here.

Offering contracts to players like TFM isn’t at a bad thing per se if the contract is a realistic amount, That way, other clubs would happily match the contract for a player of that ability. It would mean we are likely to get a decent transfer fee!
The problem with Jones, Rojo, Lingard etc is that we wildly overvalued them and other clubs are unwilling to pay them anywhere near to it.

you would think offering him a 2 year deal back in January when he had 18 months left on his contract would have made more sense. If he rejected it, he should have been sold in the summer for whatever we could get
I think he really loves the club but he would be stupid to sign a new contract.
Two long-term-injuries were surely his main problem in the last years but we had never a clear plan with him was negative for him too.
Isn't offering him a contract what you need to do if you want to get compensation for an U23 player leaving on a free or something? Can't remember the rules, need some FM fans to tell us!
even if that's the case, it makes us even more desperate for the fee.
For the length of contract being offered, what if he has accepted?
See you mate
Good decision
Good luck to him and best for all parties really.
Yeah, although I never really felt that RB was a position that suited him.
Are United and that board of idiots finally starting to learn their lessons here ? Probably not but it was clear as day to everyone TFM did not have what it takes to cut it here, great guy it seems but needs to leave,
Next up:
- Jones
- Rojo
- Lingard
- Pereira permanently
- Mata

Nope. They offered him a new contract and he turned it down.
Right outcome though. It was the right move for all parties.
Yeah that's what I mean, although there was no real credible outlets reporting we did offer him a new deal but i wouldn't be surprised.
Add Romero, another Pereira, and could also remove Mata from the list
You think Mata on 100k+ a week sitting on our bench 90% of the time is a good investment ? Jesus
I think, that this season Mata is doing Ok as a squad player.
He has 2G + 3A while playing not much at all - it is a decent return.
And considering we only have Matic and de Gea as 30+ players in the team, it doesn’t hurt to have one experienced attacking midfielder on the bench (I don’t suggest using him in tough games, but using him off the bench in more easier games may work)
I agree with that, although I would not be surprised if something suddenly happens around Mata this window, just like Young a year ago.
Thank god, best for all parties.
The mass exodus of rubbish players continues
I don't think it is all about releasing the wages. It is about who contributes what to the team. Mata whenever he comes on in his proper role, gives a decent output. His experience can be used as well.
Mata's time will come. But I don't think he will be on a priority list for now.
I wouldn’t take the ‘contract offer’ as gospel. It’s not been confirmed by either the club or the player.
