Oh God. Well better than nothing....I guess.

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.

Josh King has to be fuming
He's going to be stuck on the bench, so hopefully Bruno will be feeding Martial and Mason and chipping in with goals himself.
We wouldn't need to panic buy if we had bought a Lukaku replacement in the summer.
Would even prefer Arnautovic to Ighalo.
Why would we want an option to buy though, that's the bit that worries me most
You can understand Bournemouth though, they need to stay in the PL. I do feel sorry for Josh as this would be his last chance to come back to us. You would not imagine us going back in the summer, although you never know with Ole.
Loan + not taking the option to sign in the summer would be okay I guess, cover till summer. But my word what a depressing signing if it happens. Can't remember him too much in the prem except for having a decent partnership with Deeney.

We would be mad to have an option to buy. That stinks of helping out a mate and not thinking about the club. A loan to the end of the season is fine.

Madrid aren't really playing Jovic; Dortmund aren't really playing Alcacer. Both teams, I imagine would possibly entertain a loan + transfer obligation.
incase he does well? It’s not rocket science? We’re not being forced to buy him.
Ighalo to try save Ole's job. we've reached a weird and wild timeline.
[/QUOTE]
Depends.
Depends.
In case he comes good and blows us away?
This could be make or break for Ole. Even though he is just a loan, if he is seriously naff, Ole will look foolish.
What the feck.
Agree. But at this point ( minus 2hrs plus and counting ), beggars can't be choosers.

it doesn't seem like United wanted to go that route of loan + obligation to buy, so it took those targets off the table.
Thought Alcacer has already gone to somewhere like Villareal? Back to Spain anyway.
Well....it is better then nothing I guess
You have to go through the quick channels at this stage, no option. Unfortunately everyone will see it as a panic buy.
Just read that Sheffield U bought Sander Berge. Could’ve been a good player for us I think.
True. But he is a panic buy.
Exactly! Villarreal picked up Alcacer! Ole wanted someone to break his nose to score. That's Alcacer.
The Neverending Story, maybe.
Maybe he wanted to go back to Spain.
Yes he is.
I thought he loved my captain Rooney shall always play up front?
That might be true, but I don't want to make assumptions simply because he's a Spanish player going back to La Liga. Had we shown a discernible interest who knows?
We needed a striker and it looks like we’ve got a striker.
He’s on loan so there’s no commitment.
stop fecking moaning

Will he have to go into quarantine for 14 days?
Genuine question, as those British people who arrived back from China today are in quarantine.

2 to 4 million? For a loan? That's nothing. Six months of probably too-high wages? We can eat it.
And we bought a call option... we didn't sell a put. If he doesn't work out, back to China he goes. At worst, it's a bust and he sits on the bench in case of emergency.
I am impressed they got this through in basically six hours.

In other news Ravel Morrison has gone to 'Boro on loan...
I was hoping you'd reassure me that there was some prep involved here. Reality is a bitch.
We don't really know who we have asked about. Probably never know.
Moaning is a national pastime over here
I'm pretty sure he will. The folk that came back today are in hospital on the Wirral.
You're not wrong; I hadn't thought of that. I was thinking it only applies if symptomatic, but this thing is communicable even in the absence of symptoms.
Sure his name cropped up earlier in the window, so maybe he was an option and we had to go down this road because other options were not available. We have another option on the bench if we need a goal.
