This is where that "money or Pep" thing comes from right?

Sure is, it was after the rant of Ballague when we signed Sanchez I think it was.
Hey, he won away at Madrid by playing KdB and Bernardo as the front two of a 4-4-2. I honestly don't think he gives a shit about having an out and out #9 that doesn't do a lot during build up / pressing.
More on the previously-posted story about Nübel being targeted by Dortmund:

Some without contracts?
What free transfers could we make?
Or am I reading it wrong..
I’d be happy us signing Milenkovic if it means we can get a marquee signing like Sancho in with the remaining budget.
He's talking about players who will become free agents (like Cavani and Romero) as well as players with contracts who may need to renew or leave.
These quotes without the full context are terribly misleading. He was talking about the players who might be leaving us, not incoming players.

@WI_Red @Carolina Red You guys will enjoy his tenacity and hardworking nature. He's quite a small player, but I think his pace and good movement will be good in MLS with the added space that's available.
EDIT: He signed for Atlanta United 2, which plays in the USL Championship (one tier below MLS). With that said, he can still appear for their MLS team if he plays well enough.

That makes a lot more sense. Thanks
Good stuff! I appreciate the info!
To be fair, they have bought all our rejects, so they deserve a loyalty discount

He's free to leave next summer and we'll be looking to sign his replacement for a similar fee. His injury record is pretty horrific so he won't command a large fee.
One man's trash is another man's treasure and all that. At the time we all couldn't wait to get rid of them, just because they've got a tune out of them changes nothing. They helped us out massively.
I think he was referring to renewals of players of ours out of contract. Cavani etc.
Show some respect for our sister club.
But you're right, though. £20 mil seems too little.
I also read it as we're going to have players on outgoing contracts leave, and we're also going to have to get rid of some players whose contracts are not running out at the end of the year. Hopefully he means Jones, Lingard, etc.
It is an incredibly weak Serie A, even by Serie A standards. Juventus got knocked out by Porto despite having a man advantage.

Yeah right.
Then again knowing our board would it be that surprising if we signed yet another LB?
Well he is a phenomenal talent to be fair, and still quite young. Probably a little too young for us to have pursued instead of Telles at the time, but there’s been talk about out interest for more than a year now, and Telles isn’t a player that blocks you from signing a star to me.
This
Nuno Mendes is a special talent. And if United have a chance to sign him, they absolutely should. Same agent as Bruno Fernandes too.
But Shaw does with Shaw himself being young and just entering his prime don't think we would be looking for another LB for few years unless injuries become recurring theme for him again.
Not buying the Telles to Sporting addition. I’m sure he’s prefer going back to Porto over Sporting.
Sounds like the type of transfer I’d make on Fifa career mode. I’m all in
True, but future/succession planning goes further into the future than many fans probably care to look. Mendes is still only 18.
I wouldn’t dismiss it outright. I doubt it’s a financial priority, but he seems a rare talent and if we can do it, I suspect we will.
For a player that averages about 20 games a season with one year left on their contract? United would be incredibly fortunate to get £20m for him.
HE doesn’t but the next manager will.
