Sancho wants 10m to walk. When has he run? It got smacked me that a lad with great talent is not aiming for higher and more in life.
I feel sorry for his family and kids because school and social life means he is the laughing stock for centuries. Wait till his children start asking questions.
1.) 20 Aug 2025 19:11:13
We pay him £13m a year, why would we pay him £10m to walk away.
Keep him on the books and make him do promotional work around the world hosting fan forums for 12 months, let’s see how long he lasts.
2.) 20 Aug 2025 20:20:26
Including the amortization cost of the last 10 months of his contract of about £12m he's going to cost us 80% of his £13m salary. So around £22m in total. You would think most clubs are going to steer clear of a players who has been rejected by United and Chelsea and who, rather than grasp an offer to play football somewhere, would prefer to sit on his arse for the next 10 months. Itv would be worth it for United to sell him for £20m and cover 1/ 2 the remaining salary commitment, but a player who was highly touted, was once considered to be of international quality, can't even command a £20m transfer.
3.) 21 Aug 2025 06:45:08
All this about Sancho, are we talking the same player that Shappy said was so good and along with Onana was the missing part of the ETH master plan of a jog saw with his intricate play, speed and precision…. was going to take us to the moon…. how did that go!
Was always a waste of time even at Dortmund and everywhere he been, the red flags were there, still we were stupid enough to give him a contract so all of our own making and he milking that.
No principles or honesty in football.
4.) 21 Aug 2025 10:18:27
That stalker is back Shappy, he knows what you said well before he had an account, creepy at best.
5.) 21 Aug 2025 13:59:14
If he’ll walk for 10m I suspect he has somewhere to walk to. Hopefully they will offer him 4m see what happens.
6.) 21 Aug 2025 15:11:20
GDS, I have been able to read for far too many years! Is that difficult for you to grasp…. Clearly is! So carry on.
7.) 21 Aug 2025 18:03:14
Eth didn't sign sancho. He inherited him. i'm no eth fan but we can't blame him on sancho.
8.) 21 Aug 2025 20:03:29
Sancho appeared a good signing on paper, shame his talent never made it off the page.
10 Aug 2025 15:51:11
Take with a pinch of salt but it's on X that Rasmus is leaving on loan. He refused but has been told to go as playing time will be vastly limited
Good news if true.
1.) 10 Aug 2025 18:33:47
Makes sense to loan him out for a loan fee + his wages covered. No one is going to pay the amortized value of his transfer cost. This way we won't have to book a capital loss.
23 Jun 2025 22:20:47
Rumours that United have accepted a bid for Sanch from Napoli?
Scott MacT is on £90k per week and V Osihmen gets £162k per week so I doubt sancho will accept the wages Napoli offer.
1.) 23 Jun 2025 23:14:30
Osimhen £162k pw, I think not, it's well documented he is on circa £400,000k pw at present, the figure he is also demanding from us!
Seemingly he has stated he is not looking for a pay rise from us.
Suspect it will all prove irrelevant as AL Hilal have come back for him with an increased offer of £34,000,000 per annum, that's £653,000pw. Hard to turn away from that kind of dough.
2.) 23 Jun 2025 23:45:41
If he wants the money more than playing for us let Osimhen go simple.
3.) 24 Jun 2025 00:16:40
Quite so Salford, can't see us giving him £400k pw anyway, so would mean him taking a pay cut, don't see that happening.
Only player I know who took a pay CUT to come to us is M De Ligt. (Goes up when we get ECL qualification) However, show's a terrific attitude and desire to join us. He was of course at Bayern, so was already at massive club, he just wanted to play regularly. Well done him!
4.) 24 Jun 2025 05:19:07
Sadly, it’s difficult to see him leaving on a permanent deal. And why would he? If he stays, he continues to earn a ridiculous wage for one more season and then gets a nice £10m+ signing on fee next summer after leaving on a free. We’ll almost certainly allow him to leave on loan to recoup some of his wages, so it’s a win-win for him.
Personally, I’d like to see us take the L and force him to play with the reserves this season. Dock his wages every time he’s late and then sack him after it’s happened enough times. Allowing him to call the shots makes the club’s leadership look like clowns.
5.) 24 Jun 2025 05:56:53
Redseven, nothing to do with us looking like clowns, there is such a thing as employment law/ contracts/ rights basically Sancho is in driving seat, it just comes down to pride and if he wants to be playing, not much else!
Deligt playing regularly, you mean when he is not injured, plus we allowed him to bring the fridge he carries around on his back with him!
6.) 24 Jun 2025 10:27:12
De Ligt played 29 out of 38 league games last season, I think we get that you don’t like or rate him Maze but you don’t need to say it constantly or make out his injuries are far worse than they are.
7.) 24 Jun 2025 12:59:53
I want our trophy back.
Osimhen is currently earning just over £160,000 per week. He is reported to be looking for significantly more money. This is why he is looking for a transfer, and why he hasn’t found a buyer.
My suspicion is that he would prefer to stay in Europe, and his agent is trying to see if anyone will double his wages here. If not, he’ll be off to Saudi.
Shame because he’s a good player, but his wage demands would undermine the club’s attempt to change its broken wage structure.
8.) 24 Jun 2025 13:25:02
Osimhen is pie in the sky. A shame, I'd love to see him in the Prem, he's a really exciting player. But unless the likes of Chelsea are prepared to give him what he wants (I doubt it, given just like us they've taken steps to sort out their wage structure), he'll be off to Saudi where they'll pay him handsomely.
9.) 24 Jun 2025 17:01:34
I read the Napoli offer was two players in part-ex. Other than Osimhen, who do they have that fits the system?
10.) 25 Jun 2025 20:57:20
Osimhen is apparently on 10m euros a year and is willing to join us for no pay rise .

Man United agree deal to sign 2006 born Mali international talent Sékou Koné from Guidars FC,
1.) 22 Aug 2024 18:46:46
anyone want to do a write up on his strengths and pretend they know who he is lol.
2.) 22 Aug 2024 19:49:18
let me check YouTube, Ahmad!
3.) 22 Aug 2024 21:08:44
He's been good at the under 17 world cup apparently.
4.) 22 Aug 2024 21:33:14
It seems that Christopher Vivell, new director of recruitment, has a hand in this. He previously had roles at RB Leipzig and Salzburg, apparently they have a connection with Guidars.
Time will tell if this works or not, seemingly he is a defensive midfielder.
Will be a big cultural change for the lad, wish him good luck and hope he makes it.

I watched some of the U17 world cup but mostly Argentina and France. The Argentinian guy city signed is a really good player and gets your attention. I did not watch any of the Mali games.
8.) 23 Aug 2024 13:20:02
Shappy - It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair. But it was also the summer transfer window that we welcomed Sékou Koné to the club. I remember watching him running in Mali in the care free days of his youth … *3,000 words later* - he probably should be ready for a loan next summer.
9.) 23 Aug 2024 13:52:09
?? very good Danny.
It might rain but it might not rain if the sun comes out. But it might only be out for a short period if it goes back in again it might rain.
However if the wind gets up it could be windy so hang your washing out but look out for the rain in case the sun doesn't come out.
17 Jul 2024 17:48:26
Yoro deal done
Med 1 passed final result due but all sealef on a 5 hr deal acc to FR

2.) 17 Jul 2024 18:59:51
Little bit shocked, must be a good sign that we are beginning to move forward as a club instead of the regression we have all witnessed.
3.) 17 Jul 2024 19:43:23

I've supported Manchester United for 35 years, and I've watched some great teams made up of all sorts of players who would run through brick walls, play through pain and fight for every single ball. They understood what wearing that shirt meant.
What frustrates me most about this current team is that it feels like the same rinse-and-repeat cycle every time. New manager comes in, new players arrive, performances improve for a few weeks, everyone gets excited, and then we slowly drift straight back to the same old problems.
We've qualified for the ECL, and now we're back to the norm again. Where's the hunger? Where's the intensity? Where's the pride in chasing down every ball?
Look at other teams in the Premier League. They run, they press, they track back, they fight for second balls. If the ball goes forward, they sprint forward. If they lose it, they sprint back. It's basic effort and desire.
Honestly, watching my United team at the moment is like watching a DoorDash delivery service. They'll sprint for the delivery when there's something in it for them, but if they miss out on a tip, they stroll back and leave massive gaps for everyone else to deal with! ?
And don't get me started on the lack of energy. At this point, maybe we need to introduce a boxer-style ban on sex before matches to preserve some testosterone, because this team looks lethargic, predictable and, at times, painfully boring to watch! ?
The boos ringing around the ground are becoming more common, and fans have every right to expect more. We're not asking for miracles every week. We're asking for effort, intensity, commitment and players who look like they actually care.
I've supported this club for 35 years, through great teams and difficult periods, but what hurts most is watching a team that too often looks like it's going through the motions.
You can lose a football match. It happens. But you should never lose the fight.
This is Manchester United. The shirt should mean something. The standards should mean something. And running yourself into the ground for your teammates should be the bare minimum.
Am I expecting too much?
1.) 12 Oct 2026 20:40:06
No it's the least you should expect RDF.
2.) 12 Oct 2026 21:19:51
RDF
You should expect that as an absolute minimum and have often talked about playing for the shirt.
Like it or not Amorim identified culprits and kept them separate. Rashford a prime example, who clearly showed he didn't care for the shirt by his actions. He should have been shipped out at whatever cost.
I cannot stress highly enough that Carrick bringing Rashford back and playing him over the others who had put effort in last season was utterly stupid and amateur. If you want to look back at your description "running yourself into the ground for your teammates should be the bare minimum" and then consider Rashford doing the opposite it has to impact the team.
3.) 12 Oct 2026 23:35:14
Standards are dropping fast.
4.) 13 Oct 2026 04:47:00
Standards dropped years ago but just more rapidly in last 2-3 years, when your signing the likes of Dorgu, Cunha, Tielemans Santos, Martinez, DeLigt, Mount, Maz even Mbuemo and Lammens the standards are too low with the club, but even lower on here when fans are lauding most of those signings when they happened which they were and many still do
United is in serious trouble I said it at the time SJR was the worst thing that could happen to United, more so than the Glazers imo.
We all know the Glazers should be gone but the last thing needed is SJR.
5.) 13 Oct 2026 12:08:04
just a tiny snapshot of the lowering of standards -Sesko and Shaw wearing those tiny shinpads -whats Shaw thinking after his awful injury? But where is the manager, the coach, the captain the senior player to say - those shinpads are a joke get them off and get proper ones that will protect you - does my head in that no seems to give a proverbial.
6.) 13 Oct 2026 13:01:40
I don't think Carrick 'brought Rashford back'.No-one wanted him, whether due to his transfer fee or most likely his salary. After a few games, he was one of our better players. He wasn't even involved in the last game where there is plenty of viral footage of Mainoo and in particular Tielemann's lack of intensity as being Manchester United's biggest on-field problem at the moment.
Add to that another £50m spent on Santos who doesn't seem to be in favour already, and the failure to spend that money on a leftback or centreforward, which would both have been pretty useful at this moment in time.
It's just a really poor concoction of decisions and their outcomes in the last few months that has quickly snuffed out the crest of a wave feeling Carrick's caretaker spell provided.
7.) 13 Oct 2026 13:36:26
I said before we even bought Santos there is clearly a problem with him, for having so many clubs, what is it 5 by 21 years old, clearly the same problem spotted now, how on earth are we so stupid that we don't look at these things and ask questions.
8.) 13 Oct 2026 14:36:21
I agree Je suis unite but maybe give him a game rather than sticking with Mainoo and Tielemans which clearly hasn't worked. Santos has played around 80 minutes of football this season, it's hardly enough time to try and win over the manager and the fans is it.
I am not saying he's the answer but try something different, Carrick also now has Beleba has another option.
9.) 13 Oct 2026 15:25:03
I agree Sim, you can't keep sticking with something that don't work like Carrick does and we have him so he might as well get some games, but there is a reason he had 5 clubs at only 21 and not really stepped up in any of those so how on earth give 50 million for that pedigree, it's diabolical.
I said from game 1 Tielemans looks like he running in treacle should be nowhere near a United first 11 but certainly not in a two with Mainoo who is not exactly athletic although to be fair he looked like he kicked on a bit from last season.
Bruno looks too tired and carrying an injury, but Carrick gameplay is give the ball to Bruno and cross our fingers he can produce a piece of magic, this is a joke in itself.
I thought we were poor under ETH and RA but this is a new level of poor, but why be surprised when we have a manager and coaches who are all championship level and buying players who are bottom half of EPL on a good day. Maybe you can risk one of them in a team, or 2 in a squad but we have virtually a whole squad of sub par players.
10.) 13 Oct 2026 17:41:42
Why appoint a DoF, sack him, chase a great young manager in Amorim. Sack him and not back him.
Appoint a failed Boro manager. And we'll sack him too.
Club is run by clowns.

There's a rumour doing the rounds that some City players never really wanted to leave because they weren't just being looked after through their official wages but allegedly through additional money and benefits kept off the books.
The more outrageous version of the story claims that some of those benefits extended to the players' wives and families, expensive gifts and other arrangements that were supposedly kept very quiet, because the owners' wives might not have been too happy discovering their husbands were 'blessing' footballers' wives. ?
To be clear, the wives / gifts part is just a rumour and I've seen no reliable evidence proving it.
What is now documented is that a Premier League independent commission found Manchester City had used arrangements involving third parties and owner-funded remuneration, with payments of £8.866m, £7.4m and £0.5m identified.
So while the wildest part of the story remains unproven, the idea that there were financial arrangements beyond the straightforward official wage bill is no longer simply internet folklore.
It Makes you wonder where some of these old rumours actually came from ? and I'm sure their is substance to some of it.

Agree to an extent.
From what I hear Carrick is different when the camera isn't there.
I'd say he lacks tactical adaptability and the ability to spot a problem or opportunity mid game. That does come with experience but I don't see it. I'd also question Woodgate, Evans and potentially Binnion. If you look at other Coaches like Carrick eg high profile ex players they are surrounded by elite coaches. Holland is a good example but you want that x3. Danks at Bayern was appreciated.
I've previously mentioned the strength conditioning fitness team are below average.

I'd go for the Porto coach.
Seems legit.

Whatever his situation, we have signed a lad who has lots of talent and knows how to score.
I hope he sees this as progression in his career and becomes a first team player. In previous years, we have bought well from Spurs, and I'm thrilled with our transfer approach the last 2 seasons.
20 Jul 2026 14:40:14
My mate's dad is a Spurs fan and has followed them all his life, and he was telling me that there are concerns around Tynan and the people he has been associating with in London. Apparently, his mum is keen to get him out of the city and away from those influences.
I obviously hope none of it is true, because this lad has a serious chance to make it big.
The last thing we need is another Ravel Morrison situation. Tynan clearly has the talent — let's hope he has the right people around him to help him reach his potential.
22 Jun 2026 02:56:46
Just after he has had surgery for pain that kept him out of Japan's WC squad.
At least bring a rumour with some substance.
04 May 2026 13:55:57
Why consider selling him at this stage? Do we currently have a goalkeeper of sufficient quality to reliably serve as a number two?
Recent seasons have shown that even the top clubs struggle when their first-choice goalkeeper is unavailable, often resulting in a significant drop in points. Given the increased number of fixtures we are likely to face, depth in this position is essential.
Reintegrating him into the squad would provide valuable competition and cover, while also strengthening the overall confidence and stability of the defence. It has been some time since Manchester United had two goalkeepers of genuine top-level quality, and this could be an opportunity to restore that balance.
04 Aug 2025 05:54:28
Spot on Spenno folk expect young lads to be at RVP level upon arriving. Let's see how he does this season.
