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.

Fair enough.
To be expected. Trimming the squad is a necessity though as we do have a lot of players on the books that aren't at the level and don't get a look in
This is where those stupid contract renewals comeback to bite us, I’m looking at Jones and Mata… O_O

I half expected the next few weeks to be focusing on the outs before deadline day rushes to get Trippier and a midfielder in
this summer?

Get rid of him as soon as possible. Would fit right in with Neymar, Mbappe and other huge egos.
I think they want to pressure us on the price
Do we really need to remind him who's fault is it ? and don't him dare to say "it's my agent"

Is this implying that we gave Real Madrid money for Varane -> they buy Mbappe -> PSG buy Pogba?
Lingard, Pereira, Williams, Dalot, Pogba, De Gea can all leave. Surely generates enough for at least two more.
The squad is unnecessarily bloated
Folk keep suggesting these names. The issue is not finding candidates who need to leave. The issue is finding anyone interested in paying any money for them......
I can't imagine anyone willingly taking De Gea off our hands, but we should be able to flog the rest and get in two or three in return.

In before Bayern get linked to Camavinga, again
-Pogba
-Lingard
-James
-Pereira
Should be able to buy us a class DM, maybe a RB as well, if we sell Williams and Dalot.
For me personally, Martial, VDB, AWB deserve a chance next season. Not a fan of either goalie though.
Lingard, Pereira and Pogba going would generate the funds for a midfielder + RB.
But conceivably there are another 3/4 that should leave just to create space in the first team squad.

Lingard and James alone would generate enough for Camavinga and Trippier. Dalot, Axel, Williams, Pereira and a GK can also leave permanently/loans - we don’t need to sell Pogba/Martial to generate the 45m needed.
Not selling Williams as he just signed a new contract and is cover through September due to Telles injury. And if United can't get a RB, then he'll have to fill in as Dalot has more sale value. DDG will be tough to move for any significant transfer fee, in addition to high wages.
Honestly, there isn't a lot of bloat. Jones and Pereira are the only ones that really need to leave but no one's going to buy them. That's 4m / yr in wages, not a huge deal.
4 GKs: I'm not too worried. Two backups are on low wages. Impossible to get rid of the DDG contract unfortunately, so might as well let him fight it out with Henderson.
Telles: Good enough as backup LB.
Bailly: Fine as 4th CB.
Jones: Bloat.
Matic: Last year of his contract, happy to have him for a year to bring on occasionally, play in cup games etc.
Mata: Being groomed for an ambassador role at the club. If he signs, it'll be on fairly low wages. Again happy to have as a backup.
Lingard: Will be sold probably for a decent fee.
Pereira: Hopefully loaned out again.
James: Fine as a backup. We have Sancho, Rashford, Greenwood and James for two spots on the wing. Maybe bloat if Pellestri / Amad start to perform.
Martial: Kind of crazy to even include him here, but some want him gone. It would free up the wage bill quite a bit to sign another Sancho level talent. I still think he can come good.
Don't think the Caf has issues with any other player here.
Lingard, Pogba, James, Pereira, Dalot & one of the goalkeepers = out
RB, #6, #8 = in
That's the dream. Probably too much to hope for, though.

Lingard (£20-30m?)
James (£15-20m?)
Dalot ( £15-20m?)
Williams
will get money
Pereira won’t get much (£5m?).
what we should have done is made a decision and sold one of the goalkeepers.
We can’t keep going with both of them playing every other game.
James (£15-20m?)
Dalot ( £15-20m?)

I agree I don't see bloat in the squad at all that being said we have players who need to be moved on not just for cash purposes but to further some of their careers
Loan
Williams
Tuanzebe
Garner
Levitt
Mengi
Pellistri
Laird
Sell
Lingard
Dalot
Jones
Andreas
Going to be a busy end to the window
While it probably is kinda true, my guess is they have some money left but want to get some leverage in potential deals.
I imagine a lot will not agree, but there's a lot of sense in this post. I suspect Pereira drifts into the area of bloat, though, James too.
You'd have to think De Gea, Dalot, Bailly, Jones, Williams, Matic, Pogba, Pereira, Lingard, James and Martial are all available if the right offer came in. Now some of those are going to be tricky because of their wages but surely when there is an entire team of players available to buy, we can generate a reasonable amount of cash?
Exits:
Lingard
Pogba
Jones (for free?)
Pereira
Could generate about 90 million

Moving the majority of those players on for good enough fees is going to be the clubs biggest hurdle.
Murtough’s first real test I’d say

Good news. Axel should get game time at Newcastle and of course he's played under Steve Bruce before.
Hopefully loan + to buy permanently .
Communicado oficial comes for us all Real
Buy first, sell later.
I think Pogba and one of Lingard or James will go which will allow us to buy a midfielder and Trippier.
Indeed, he'll have a good opportunity to play regularly especially with Lejeune having left the club. My only concern is that he'll be playing in a way more defensive setup, so I wonder how he'll fare for United should we choose to keep him and give him more match time next season, but again, that's secondary to Tuanzebe getting those key first-team minutes.
Hopefully its true, with Varane's signing he's 4th choice at best. Hopefully its a loan with a buy clause.
