£50m to be paid in 50 installments of £1m, to be paid in July of every year for the next 50 years, isn't it?

I will never be bought by us signing managers, coaches and players nor should anyone in this fanbase
Twitter speculation thread probably the best place for this but there are some rumours on Twitter of a potential Jim Ratcliffe movement for the club. Might aline with the exodus of some senior people at the club and his very public approach to buy Chelsea when it was too late. Probably bullshit but it is a comforting thought before bed.
Kimmich going to end up forced to play at RB and push for a move?
Dreams and hopes crushed for many. If he spends that much he'd want a return, I don't think 25 million per year would cut it.
I doubt he is considering buying United but what kind of return do you think he’d have expected from Chelsea??
He sure as hell wasn’t going get £25m a year from the club
They shouldn’t but they are. That’s just the way they are
It’s not about being ‘bought’ really. It’s just the excitement that signings and new managers bring can distract from wider issues. We all love United in our own ways, and all we really want is a entertaining and successful team on the pitch. When that’s not the case as now, disgruntled people will look at the wider situation and that’s why we’ve seen protests of late. Nobody is ever pleased by the hostile take over or the club debt or the dividends paid inspire of mediocre performance.
It’s natural to be supportive of the club you love and excited about new players etc. I don’t think anyone gives the owners a free pass though.
But think of all the perfect backup signings Bayern can get Nagelsmann from Leipzig?
You misspelled Mazraoui.
Mukiele for the right, some experience for the left with Halstenberg. Kampl as a cheap holding midfielder. Maybe Silva has a release clause for next year, too.

Maybe he will have more luck with Orban, too.
Don't understand why his career has taken the trajectory it has. Love this guy. He would have been great for United when he was on the periphery for Madrid.
Because he lacks his physicality and running power. It’s no longer enough to be amazing technically anymore, same reason Mata didn’t set the world alight with us.
Well effectively, they do as an initial cost. Of course he’s paid substantially more. And don’t talk about additional fees as we have no idea how much was paid to agents for Fred or WB.
There are still loads of bargains out there if we have scouts to spot them.

At last, let's not pretend this hasn't been his sole motivation all along.
Wind his contract down and whore himself out to whatever clowns are stupid enough to give into his wage and signing on fee demands. It's not about joining a team that's going to give him football, it's about how much he can milk out of his last contract.
July 1st can't come soon enough.
Too much money for MBS.
He might be able to afford a leg or an arm so maybe he’ll just take that.
Best not find himself in an embassy.
Let that be a warning call to others. Sounds like they aren’t gonna be taken for a ride
To be fair if they’re going to do it by the book they’ll never catch up with City, who have used every trick in the book.
We all know what his warnings look like.
Come on Utd start doing some buisness.
I'm bored

He is better than most of our attackers, we could do worse than getting him.
Then why go for Chelsea and pledge 1.75bn in 10 years?
Does feel like we’re condemned to the glazers for eternity, whereas for the likes of Chelsea, it always works out.We can also do better than him. Just being better than our current lot is not saying much.
You’ve answered it yourself. The average car user could identify 2 or 3 astute signings but we’ve actually had a look.

People need to stop treating the Haaland deal as a barometer for player value. He has a release clause. If he didn't he would probably be going for closer to £150m. He was smart going to Dortmund and insisting on a release clause. Put him in the shop window in a good team in a good league and only committed him for a few seasons before he could move on for a massive pay day.

The actual reason he decided to stay for another season.
And now ww really know why he won't sign a contract at United- Status
