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.
5.) 23 Aug 2024 06:28:42
Essay incoming!

Wazza ???.
7.) 23 Aug 2024 11:04:06
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
Welcome yoro.
1.) 17 Jul 2024 17:57:31
Shortest deal in history!
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
5 hoursss bruhhhh the league doesn't start till August!

Qatari post @qatarifc
The glazers gave ask shiek J and the 92 foundation can they use investment money to complete transfers before takeover done
Wtf.
1.) 24 May 2023 08:16:55
It’s a BS twitter page.
2.) 24 May 2023 10:19:18
Complete twaddle.
Have to hand it to Qatari bid team though - been very clever at playing the media (and the desperate United fans) throughout whole bid process.
I would guess that, once sale complete (hopefully), and non-disclosure agreements ended, all kinds of truths will emerge.
23 May 2023 21:04:48
So TUS say we shall have our Preferred Bidder announcement from the club by Friday
I just hope we get rid of all the Amateurs at MUFC.
1.) 23 May 2023 21:22:58
Maybe me being daft but what’s TUS? Been so many claims and counted claims I’ve no idea what way it’ll go. I hope Sheikh Jassim wins it but have a bad feeling we will see the Glazers around in minor roles. I don’t know enough about SJR to completely say I don’t want his bid to win and by all accounts he’s a good guy, I’m sure he’s not stupid and knows what the fan reaction will be like should the glazers stay on or more importantly if we still have debt, it affects necessary upgrade of our station and training complex and of course transfer ability. Friday would tie in with hopefully just having secured CL so any disruption from fans is to a minimum if news isn’t what they want to hear.
2.) 23 May 2023 21:29:15
Good chance we'll find out Goldbridge is full of it ?.
3.) 23 May 2023 21:56:07
Id say your right shappy.
4.) 23 May 2023 22:07:16
I think there’s an article by Miguel Delaney. However if he told me it was sunny outside I’d bring my umbrella.
5.) 24 May 2023 01:03:52
Whoever wins, what really matters is who they put in place to run the club and spend the money.
6.) 24 May 2023 08:29:12
Google = ?
What does TUS stand for?
The Technological University of the Shannon: Midlands Midwest (TUS; Irish: Ollscoil Teicneolaíochta na Sionainne: Lár Tíre Iarthar Láir) is a public university in Ireland.
7.) 24 May 2023 10:00:16
Goldbridge said the same thing last week, that there'd be a huge update by the Friday. :D I quite like watching TUS a couple of times a week but it's a bit ranty lol. If he had a filter on to eliminate the waffle the shows would be a lot more bearable.
8.) 24 May 2023 10:49:48
TUS is just Talkrubbish lite. Just trying to be controversial in order to engage through enrage. Wind people up so they feel they HAVE to reply and thus push up engagement and make them money.
The only difference between TUS and Talkrubbish is that one has the pull to bring in lots of former professionals while covering all clubs and the other doesn't have that pull and only focuses on one.
9.) 24 May 2023 14:28:58
Odd attack on MG there Shappy. He did not break the story about this Friday the chosen buyer being announced. He simply reacted to the story coming out from other main stream media - independant I believe, but not certain on that. Same from a few weeks back.
He often does a reaction piece on what other media outlets are saying. Only occasionally does he speak about what his sources are saying. And his sources are generally journalists that have their own special-ist areas of expertise.
Lots of rumours that it is jassim, but MG calls BS and thinks it could be either way, or still could end in more bids. Don't think he is a BS merchant, and yes he is a bit ranty! Lol.
10.) 25 May 2023 00:13:09
Welsh I’m guessing TUS is The United Stand podcast.

Quick question I hope can be answered.
Rashford has 3 years left and book value wages amount to 36m app wages for the 3 years owed to Rashford if we sell him for 44 meaning we get 8 profit? Am I correct?
If so tell him he can go to Barcelona for 10 mill if he is happy to wave the wages owed and Barcelona will sign him immediately
10 is better than 8 that extra 2 can restore lunches for the staff.
1.) 11 Jul 2025 13:21:52
I honestly doubt it works like that.
2.) 11 Jul 2025 13:24:46
Why would we do that? Why would we not maximise what we can get for him?
3.) 11 Jul 2025 13:29:03
No, you are not correct.
Wages are an ongoing business cost, NOT a capital asset and therefore are not amortised.
Whatever we may sell Rashford for, is all pure profit, as there is no outstanding cost to clear. Wages would just cease.
If we sell for £44m, then the profit is £44m and it all goes into the accounts in one amount.
4.) 11 Jul 2025 13:34:58
Or get Mbeumo!
5.) 11 Jul 2025 13:55:31
Not quite. Tye book value of a player is only related to their purchase price in signing for the club.
This is then 'amortized' in the accounts, so even if we pay for the player in full, the actual cost of the player to account for FFP is spread over the length of their contract.
So for example United pay £50m upfront because they have blcash in the bank for a player that might have cost more in installments.
They give them a 5 year deal at £100k per week. The fee is laid out in the accounts as £10m a year x 5 years =£50m total. This is how clubs can afford players that would not be affordable in the event you had to deal with the cost and wages of the player all in one go.
The wages of £100k a week are irrelevant to FFP, apart from that these annual coats when added up, need to be managed so your wages and any other costs don't exceed the FFP thresholds over a 3 year period.
Rashford is an academy player, so he cost us nothing, he never had a book value as a result. This is attractive because it means that if we sell him, whatever we sell him for is accounted for as pure profit, all achieved in that ai Glen year he was sold in.
The same applies to Garnacho, as ex academy, and to Mainoo, but does not apply to Sancho (1 year left and £14m book), Antony (2 years left and £28.8m book) or Hojlund (3 years left and £39m book) .
This can I fluency not just how mu h United want for a player but also which players make sense when we want to achieve a wage total of less than £300m a year as a percentage of our turnover and also which players are instant profit and which players could be a loss or even a small profit but get their overpaid wages from our books.
The final piece of the jigsaw is the ability to buy once we make that profit. In theory, fans often look at £40m profit and expect the club to pay £200m in transfer fees (£40m x 5 years amortised fees = £200m) . They often forget that the profit is still only £40m so if you pay out £200m in fees. You have spend in one hit the £40m profit, and with those additional years installments, if you don't make even more profit the following years then you're doomed to a £160m 'loss' on paper in those following 4 years.
This is why Ratcliffe has complained that he is still paying for players who are not wanted, or are wanted but not fully amortised meaning that until our final installments are paid. Then our profits are less be sise those costs are still not completely removed from the accounts.
I hope I've kept it simple enough without confusing you more. But in simple terms. Marcus only costs us wages (operating budget) whereas assets paid for (players) are capital expenses with an original al price and a decreasing book value.
6.) 11 Jul 2025 14:12:00
Barca hold all the cards, so if they want him and he will accept a wage cut and not insist on having his remaining Utd contract paid out, it makes sense to accept a lower transfer fee in my opinion. I’d be inclined to get him out of the door for £25m. Massive wages off the books, money coming in as pure profit and Amorim doesn’t want him.
I’m not convinced Barcelona really wants him unless he’s very cheap, so Utd playing hard ball just means we can’t sign other players and the longer we wait, the more likely our top targets go elsewhere.
Obviously we can’t move him on if we haven’t had any offers so this is all merely speculation, let’s wait and see if Barcelona make a move, then we can’t decide if Utd demands are reasonable and realistic.
7.) 11 Jul 2025 14:22:58
We should just sell him to the women’s team for £200m….
8.) 11 Jul 2025 14:38:15
Wages owed are not part of the book value of the player as an asset. They are future expenses, not part of the transfer profit calculation.
Book value in this context usually refers to the net book value of the player’s registration (i. e. the remaining unamortized portion of his transfer fee or development cost) .
Since Rashford is an academy player, his book value is £0 on the club’s books. That means there’s no amortized transfer fee to account for. Any transfer fee received is pure profit from an accounting perspective.
9.) 11 Jul 2025 14:55:04
Why on earth would you sell Rashford for 25m when Erlanga is 55m Antony even more than 25m! 25m is ridiculous.
10.) 11 Jul 2025 15:58:26
German - Any fee is better than another loan who is going to pay more than £25m for Rashford? Let’s wait and see.
11.) 11 Jul 2025 16:40:08
Who would you have said would pay 55m for Erlanga, or 120m for MGW and Kudos…. I would honestly say Rashford better than any of them and I don’t even like Rashford… 25m gets you nothing nowadays.
12.) 11 Jul 2025 17:08:50
German- Just indulge me for a moment please. In your opinion who wants to sign Rashford and how much will they pay?
I’d be amazed but absolutely delighted if we got anymore than £25-30m for him! Personally I think he’ll go out on loan again.
With three years left on his contract, it might be sensible to send him out on loan, get most of his wages covered and if he does well, goes to the World Cup and performs well then maybe we might get a higher fee for him next season, but that won’t help us this summer.
13.) 11 Jul 2025 18:18:30
You make a good point dlib.
If Barcelona do make a loan offer for him its quite simple he must be told we will pay nothing towards your wages if you want us to contribute the balance we won't accept. I've no doubt he would take the payout for the season.
That takes 18m off our player wages and would enable some transfer.
I was told, rashford and casimero make up 10% of our total player wage bill of 360m
Madness, the 5 we would like to leave make up about 16.5% of the total player wage bill. Add casimero or onana and lindelof and ericksen there s significant savings made to make room for new signings and to hit that 300m target.
Rashford on loan is OK and I think he would fit in well at Barcelona and do well and perhaps increase his value back up towards that 40m mark.
Id like to see him and garnacho do well elsewhere abroad. If they do as well as mctom has done i'd be delighted for them and hopefully we can use the income from them to start doing better ourselves than we did when they were with us.
Cunha and mbeumo would on the face of it meet with most people's approval. 2 exciting players coming to us in their best form.
If we can add a quality striker then we should see more goals.
Keeper midfield cb imo still areas that need a new 1st choice.
We might not get all done unless we see 2 or 3 from casimero rasmus onana bayindir maguire Shaw leave and that's unlikely but I remain hopeful. ?.
14.) 11 Jul 2025 19:24:46
Tumble - despite my fierce criticism of the Glazers and Ineos, I’m realistic, I don’t expect to get everyone in one window and I think if we’d have got the Mbeumo deal over the line, he and Cunha adding potentially 30-35 goals next season between them I’d be a lot more relaxed.
Then if we need sales to get a CF, CM and GK I think we’d be a lot more patient.
Some think a new CF is absolutely paramount but with Cunha and Mbeumo both adding a significant goal threat, I think Zirkzee can contribute, so whilst I’d prefer a CF, I think we’d score more goals with Cunha and Mbeumo to expect a significant improvement next season and certainly something to build on.
I must confess I’m deeply concerned about the Mbeumo deal and with no obvious pivot option if we miss out I’m genuinely worried about where the goals will come from!
15.) 11 Jul 2025 19:42:36
I’m not sure Cunha and Mbeumo add 35 goals next season, that’s hell of a leap of faith.
16.) 11 Jul 2025 19:47:43
Whats your concern dlib? Nothing to be concerned about i. o.
17.) 11 Jul 2025 21:23:51
35 is a stretch imo. Would be nice though.
18.) 11 Jul 2025 23:41:05
I do not think we can possibly get everyone we need and it will, for obvious reasons to most, be an underwhelming window in the most part. That we have to live with.
I am quietly confident that the adults will steady the ship and have the facility to bring in more over the next few windows.
All the fans with their feet on the ground are expecting is realistic progression. Top half with a fighting team and a defined structure is all I am expecting at this stage.
29 Jun 2025 23:21:47
Bold move for partey? We last won the league with an Arsenal signing. we could hope for another lighting strike.
1.) 30 Jun 2025 04:31:45
