Double edged sword for United fans though. Champions League money has been getting less and less important to us over recent years. If you win the CL you earn about as much as Adidas pay us per year on the shirt deal. It makes top 4 less important to our revenues.

True, I think I'm tired after work and can't think properly
Awesome news!
It's like rats deserting a sinking ship. Not that I'm calling him a rat, before I find my head in a basket.
I just don’t buy into that narrative that serious business people like the Glazers would be satisfied to earn less when it’s possible to earn more now and when they eventually sell. Makes no sense whatsoever.
Why does the first tweet say $2bn and the last one $2.7bn? It's a bit late, sorry if am missing something!
The initial reports basically needed to be corrected. the $2.7bn is the correct figure here.
Adidas pays you more than 100m £ per year? I seriously doubt that..
I have no idea what ole has been saying to Lingard privately but I'd take everything Solskjaer has been saying about Jesse publicly with a pinch of salt. You don't barely play someone for over a year, loan them out, try to sell them and then barely play them again when they return from loan if you rate them.

Exactly. Lingard should have pushed for the move last summer. He's just wasted his time.
We need to really our squad is very bloated with players who are not good enough.
Mata, lingard, pereira (remember him) and Jones all need to go. None really get close to serious minutes for the first team. And shouldn't at this point in their careers.
Its crazy that we have these players on our rolls along with an additional GK.
Of course they want to make more money but not qualifying for the Champions League is far from the financial disaster it used to be. It takes the pressure off the board for the drive for on pitch success at the very highest level. Champions League qualification and a quarter final exit only earns you about £50m, it's simply not that much anymore. So long as the commercial profile of the club remains strong with big sponsorships and TV money rolling in the CL gets less and less important to the Glazers. To actually win it generally requires major investment as well remember. That quarter final run can get you one Fred in today's market.
I was only counting the direct prize money. It appears that Chelsea pocketed about £95m last season all in. Adidas pay us a minimum of £75m a season which has been as much as £80m some seasons so there's not a massive difference. Adidas do have a penalty clause if we fail to qualify for the CL for two seasons on the run which we've never hit. I do wonder if they'd actually enact it if we did fail to qualify for two seasons because they've paid us above the minimum guarantee in non CL seasons.
Thanks @mazhar13
Am not Jesse's biggest fan, although I'd keep him over Martial, but as with VDB, Ole has been very unfair with him.
At this rate he won't be going to the WC, whereas before that he had a good chance.
Well, who wants to watch football played at half empty stadiums filled with fans who don't understand why the players get offended by racist chants.
The constant falling, rolling and acting by the players in the Italian league, followed by the Juve scandal and now all the racism is the downfall of the league.
La Liga is another league where players look as if they were shot by a sniper, whenever there's a duel to be contested.

FFS I hope it's just some BS rumour! Dalot barely plays and he's a bit average! Plus we've got Laird and maybe even Brandon that can cover RB.

Because it absolves our current management structure of further mismanagement.
He has every right to have played more than he has this season. This is an example of the under-utilisation of the entire squad. We’ve been terrible yet the same dross get multiple chances.
That clearly doesn’t answer the question and I have no idea what you just said.
Why would Lingard push for a move?
I was agreeing with you. He shouldn’t have. People saying he should have aren’t looking at the real issue.
