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 .
22 Aug 2024 18:25:54
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!
6.) 23 Aug 2024 08:55:39
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!
4.) 18 Jul 2024 00:28:15
100% going to have a Real Madrid clause.
5.) 18 Jul 2024 00:38:36
Ita a typo lol 5yr deal.

Rodri to Barca? Barcelona might have to cash in on someone. And we might bite if De Jong enough of course.
1.) 06 Aug 2026 20:37:25
I think not, he's suffered a tear in the medial collateral ligament of his right knee and will be out for some months.
Shame for him, hope he recovers well.
2.) 07 Aug 2026 00:01:15
Pretty sure Casado is leaving, or Bernal, or both.
01 Aug 2026 15:51:11
It may be nothing, but I think there may have been some frustration or tension from Mr. Amas towards Gabriel. On more than one occasion, instead of passing the ball to Gabriel, Mr.
Amas chose to play the ball backwards, and Gabriel was moved out to the right. At one point, Mr. Twaites appeared to say something to Mr. Amas, but Mr. Amas seemed to brush him off.
1.) 01 Aug 2026 17:03:10
Maybe Gabriel referred to him as Hazza or Massy rather than Mr Amass?
2.) 03 Aug 2026 14:16:37
A typo is easier to argue with than the actual point, I suppose. Shame you couldn't manage the latter.
27 Jul 2026 18:40:07
Danny Welbeck on a free to provide cover would be a smart move for UTD. I guess we don't provide walking sticks or sold them to Chelsea with Garbagecho.
1.) 27 Jul 2026 23:35:42
I wonder if we might go back in for Delap? Hardly covered himself in glory at Chelsea, but then again who did.
2.) 28 Jul 2026 11:16:02
Eric79 - Re: Delap - Jesus, I hope not, he's awful.
I would take Welbeck over Delap any day of the week.
3.) 28 Jul 2026 13:35:27
Very poor footballer. Delap shows limited ability and spends more time getting cards than playing football.
4.) 28 Jul 2026 13:41:04
I heard, after 3 games, CFC fans were singing a one-hit wonder song from Frankie, as that was a better hit than Delap.
Shocking player.
5.) 28 Jul 2026 14:14:12
Would only sign Delap if we could pick him up for a bargain basement price.
Might be a harsh analogy, but like when food is going out of date at a supermarket and they put a yellow sticker on it.
6.) 28 Jul 2026 16:32:07
Feels like a signing Everton will make, to be fair, to lead the line for them.
7.) 28 Jul 2026 21:07:41
Just because a player has one bad season is no reason to write him off. There are many circumstances that we don't know about, which could contribute to his poor performance. Give the guy a chance.
8.) 29 Jul 2026 20:09:36
Like I said. Everybody bombed at Chelsea.
22 Jul 2026 01:33:49
AJH, I've noticed a pattern with your posts, and it's becoming tiresome.
You don't seem interested in contributing to discussions or creating them. Instead, you appear whenever someone starts a new thread so you can complain that there's already one open or have a dig at the person who started it.
As someone who visits this forum daily, I'd much rather see new topics than watch the same handful of posters recycle the same arguments in week-old threads.
Not everyone has seen every post or wants to trawl through pages of replies.
If someone starts a thread on current United news, either join the discussion or ignore it. Publicly ridiculing fellow supporters for trying to keep the forum active just comes across as petty and discourages people from posting.
A forum only stays alive because people create discussions. If everyone adopted your attitude, we'd have very few new conversations and an increasingly stale forum.
Maybe spend less time policing who starts threads and more time contributing something worthwhile to the football debate.
1.) 22 Jul 2026 06:52:42
'You don't seem interested in contributing to discussions or creating them.' I contribute and create a lot. If you read the site daily, you would know that.
As for your point, yesterday there was a great thread about Rashford and someone started a new thread about him immediately above it.
Not a few threads lower, immediately above it.
Of course people are free to do that, but why start another conversation instead of joining the one that is underway?
And it isn't 'posters', it's one poster.
I'm all for constructive feedback, but at least try and get facts right.
2.) 22 Jul 2026 08:27:02
I agree with AJH on this one. AJH stays plenty of debate and discussion, nobody was ridiculed. Dear oh dear.
3.) 22 Jul 2026 10:04:49
Maybe Reddevil has just got the names or posters mixed up... because he can't be talking about AJH.
4.) 22 Jul 2026 10:12:11
He does have 1 loose point. I have highlighted to 1 particular poster a few times that he never replies to posts; he just often starts a new thread on the same subject, as if he hasn't read the other posts.
I even suggested he would enjoy getting involved in the wider conversations, but it seems not.
Anyhoo, I must try and create or contribute more. ?
5.) 22 Jul 2026 13:25:35
Jeez, of anyone I'd say AJH is one who gets involved in discussions both for and against his opinion. As Angel said, I can only imagine you've confused names somehow.
6.) 22 Jul 2026 16:25:48
There's already an AJH bashing thread further down the page. Instead of starting a new one, why don't you add to that?
7.) 22 Jul 2026 16:55:34
Yeah read the posts. ?
16 Jul 2026 19:32:49
Regarding Martinez i think you all need a recap of why they feel hatred to Britain.
The Falklands War is a fascinating example of how badly one side can misread the other.
Britain had announced the withdrawal of HMS Endurance and was cutting back its naval presence. Argentina looked at that and seemingly decided Britain simply wasn't that bothered anymore.
Then, on South Georgia, a group of Argentine scrap-metal workers arrived and an Argentine flag was raised on British territory.
Argentina saw weakness.
What they didn't see coming was Margaret Thatcher.
I don't know if I'd have wanted to cross her — but I can absolutely imagine her thinking:
" that old jealous ex who dumps a bloke and hates anyone else to have him "
And just like that, Britain went to war.
Ten weeks later, Argentina had been defeated, its military junta had been humiliated and the entire country was left counting the cost of one of the biggest miscalculations in modern military history.
They thought Britain didn't care.
They were very, very wrong.
Now as an Irishman I can recount 2 major incidents at Lansdowne Road. 1 being very political but I want plant seeds again so let's give martinez a pass because a guy that is more injured than Phil Jones lately just played 5 games straight i believe.
1.) 16 Jul 2026 22:03:02
Let's not forget that General Leopoldo Galtiere, the Military dictator of Argentina at that time, had, the previous year led the military junta that overthrew the legitimate government.
He then established a brutal and authoritarian regime, with him at the head of it.
He took personal control of a State death squad which dealt with any political dissidents and civilians, in a violent and brutal manner.
Facing complete economic collapse in the country, due to their incompetence, along with rising civil unrest he authorised the invasion of the Falkland Islands.
Galtieri did not care about the sovereignty of the Islands. He used this as a cynical political stunt to attempt to create a false feeling of nationalism to unify the country and take the spotlight of brutality away from him.
Having lost the war, he resigned his office. He was pardoned for many of his crimes in the 1990s but was placed under house arrest in 2002 for his involvement in human rights abuses. He died in 2003 so nothing further came of it.
This whole episode can be put down to an exercise in staggering cynicism, along with a vainglorious attempt at self survival.
The end result of the totally correct retaking of the Islands by U.K. forces were 255 U.K. military personnel and 649 Argentinian military personnel were killed. There were also 3 islanders killed.
These were all brave young men, making the ultimate sacrifice for
their countries, although it can certainly be argued the Argentinian troops were misled and manipulated.
As with many war's, the side that ends up losing often carry a feeling of injustice and resentment. This, I believe is a big part of the residual feeling's of the Argentinians as having 649 killed and still losing does not sit well.
The Argentinian people need to remember that it is estimated Galtieri was responsible for many more 'disappeared' people, than those killed in the war.
2.) 16 Jul 2026 23:05:12
Don't forget, as with many impoverished nations such as those in South America, football is not just a game; it is a deeply embedded social institution and a primary mechanism for upward social mobility, status and happiness. That's all many of them have ruled by fear, corruption and socioeconomic struggle.
So, when they have a world audience, they need to push any old political agenda through the only vehicles they have, as they are largely irrelevant politically outside of football, where they are a global phenomenon.
Hate to sound condescending, but it's the the truth. Congratulations to them for a well deserved victory.
3.) 17 Jul 2026 00:18:18
Let it also be remembered that Thatcher was experiencing extremely negative polling with British industry flailing under the weight of simultaneous excessively high interest rates and inflation caused by her monetarist policies which accelerated the decline and the export of jobs, and, in a accordance with her goals, emasculated the unions. I remember it well.
At the time I was an executive in a foundry and engineering business on a part of Trafford Park Road that no longer exists. The invasion of the Falklands and the subsequent war was her saviour. The British gutter press was as jingoistic as ever. One headline after the sinking of the Belgrano which killed over 300 people was "Stick that up your Junta".
{Ed001's Note - very good point.}
4.) 17 Jul 2026 13:16:15
The malvinas as they call then have never in history belonged to Argentina so this delusional sense of nationalism and feeling wronged by the British is as farcical as if Russia finally loses the invasion of Ukraine and then mounts a near 50 year campaign of false victim dogwhistling.
They only care because they want the oil rights as a nation and the strategic location of the islands for international relations and every political election trots out this garbage as a hill to die on.
20 Jul 2026 21:58:23
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.
04 Aug 2026 11:57:35
Guess, 4 years looking at the black jersey and yellow stripes, if MUFC jersey is hard to forget and he forgot.
03 Aug 2026 14:16:37
A typo is easier to argue with than the actual point, I suppose. Shame you couldn't manage the latter.
03 Aug 2026 14:01:02
That's a fair assessment, Spenno.
I watched the game as well, and Mount was brilliant. He deserved the MOTM award. My only worry is whether he can stay fit long enough to put together a decent run of games.
Shea Lacey impressed me too. He's clearly got bags of talent, but because of his size he'll probably get bullied physically at times until he fills out.
We've hardly spent anything this window when you take into account the wages we've freed up and the money we've brought in from player sales. I'm still hopeful we'll get a CB who can also cover RB, plus another CM before the window shuts.
28 Jul 2026 13:41:04
I heard, after 3 games, CFC fans were singing a one-hit wonder song from Frankie, as that was a better hit than Delap.
Shocking player.
26 Jul 2026 17:36:14
Add Buttner and Telles to that list.
