Dave has a contract until 2023, Pogba will hopefully move on a bosman, so parity with top earners can quickly change (Ronaldo aside, who also has 18 months left on his deal). Would be sensible to reign in the extravagance.

Are they unironically reporting about a 6 month loan for Guerreiro or Sandro?
“Tool”
Yes they played poorly, I know what, let’s blame social media!!!
Give me a break.
If the board won't back Rangnick to buy players, they should at least try and loan players. We need midfielders ASAP. and if we lose out on 4th place, it's the boards fault not the manager.
Yes
Barca are delusional. "Oh we don't have any money because we've been fraudulent and reckless, but we'll take your starting left back on loan please."
Next thing we'll hear is how Sergino Dest has to leave because he's not willing to take a pay cut which is akin to supporting Franco against Catalan independence.
Though I think Juve are fed up with Sandro.
The power dynamic has certainly massively shifted to the individual in all industries, but I agree it's way more prevelant in football, because the transfer fees associated.
Agreed, let it naturally balance by letting the to earners go (or sign new contracts on reduced set pay)
The wage bill when we shed;
Martial
Matic
Mata

The significant difference is the length of their deal also factors into their market value. Bruno is at a slightly odd age though where I'm not overly worried about him being 29 and having 2 years left cos he's unlikely to get a mega deal from elsewhere at 31. It's the younger lads who you don't want running down their contracts.
It's felt a bit grim recently with the amount of change needed but actually as optimistic as this list is it's actually not that hard to do.The wage bill when we shed;

Tielemans is only going to have 1 year left come the summer so should definitely be a target. I don't think we've got much hope of getting Haaland now unfortunately but maybe we could join the Vlahovic bidding. Failing that we can still keep Ronaldo but get Greenwood through the middle more often with Amad hopefully being ready for some first-team action. We could also look at Madueke for the RW or someone similar.
Lamptey is interesting. I worry about his height playing at RB and I'm not convinced that Laird isn't worth the gamble before we spend £30-40m on Lamptey. I'd also like to keep an eye on Livramento at Southampton.
Rice is a no-brainer if we can convince him but I do worry with him being a Chelsea fan and Kante not getting any younger that they'll be in the market for him this summer.
I love your optimism and energy but I fear you will be disappointed. Our board doesn’t roll like this.The wage bill when we shed;

On it! Found out I was paid 47% less than my peers, getting an external offer and then up to both to beat.
Re Bruno, don’t think we will put him as much as DDG or Pogba. Both may leave on a free after this contract. So far what I am loving about RR is not taking any prisoners. If you want to go, be my guest approach.

For years I’ve read how Bruno was different and would pretty much play for United for free. Not that I have an issue with him trying to get paid, but people need to acknowledge that players are first and foremost after their own interests.
Well, that would be underwhelming and expensive.
Wanting parity with much of the squad rather than taking the club for ransom is different. You need to know your worth and accept nothing less.
I remember Gary Neville, who bled red more than probably any other player in our history, talking about how he didn't have an agent. All he'd do would call up the PFA ask what the equivalent players were making and ask for that. It's basically what Bruno is doing here.
Useless, hopefully untrue. An average passer of the ball.
Great.
Our decline to mid table club will finally be completed
I actually think he's a decent player, better than McT anyway but this would be such an underwhelming and potentially expensive signing
There was a lot of noise about his attitude to the club changing due to the ESL?
Definitely deserves parity with the highest earners as he's effectively carried the team since he joined.
This says nothing about Bruno’s character or motivations. It’s disingenuous to suggest otherwise.
I mean, why do you go to work?
And Bruno would be on an exceeds expectations rating for every year he's been with us so a pay raise is warranted.
Yeah but still would be within the % outlined by the company. In my world at least!
He’s a good player but not the solution on his own
I'm sure Gerrard will sanction this sale...
It is the suggestion that other contract negotiations or disputes wouldn’t happen if it were Bruno that is silly. Him pushing for what he wants is perfectly normal and acceptable.
I got 15% last November, although the performance review process tends to be limited to 10%.
I really do not get why Man Utd feels they need to constantly bump everyone's wages? Most midfielders go off a cliff physically at the age of thirty. It would make all the sense in the world to see where is at when he is 29 with two more years left.
It's weird. They also included Alex Telles, who's our #1 left back at the moment. I think their shortlist is a little outdated or tiered in terms of the likeliness of signing a new left back.

All his transfer rumors probably just died.
Watch us pay 60 million for someone who is barely an upgrade on Fred or McTYou should not take for granted any news that comes out. Most are fake news. And if it were true there is no problem to ask and dialogue with other clubs.Yes
Barca are delusional. "Oh we don't have any money because we've been fraudulent and reckless, but we'll take your starting left back on loan please."
