The Manchester United Thread

It sounds weird to say 120m euro isn't a bad price including add ons, but the more I think about it..... it's not. You've got the English player tax but then think about recent transfers like M'Bappe, Coutinho, Havertz,.... Dortmund have been pretty fair here in my mind.

If it wasn’t for COVID no one would batter an eyelid. But unfortunately it is a thing and even though Dortmund have every right to ask 120m euros. At the same time Utd have the right in these times to try negotiating it down as much as possible.

I'll wager a friendly bet with you (npt sure exactly what we can bet? Signature maybe?), that he goes for less than that when he moves next summer.

But that aside, yes, considering this window has been Utd's one opportunity at him, and Dortmund are in no need to sell with a player who's sound being there another year, that fee seems very reasonable from both stand-points.

Leeds and Villa getting thumped 7 and 8 respectively aside last night, it was a very good overall first round of games for academy U21 sides in the EFL Trophy.

Might watch that for the Derby novelty factor.

Belter start to the U18's season Sat'day morning. All the best.

Sadly got hampered, but the team was U-18(only one lad was over 17) As U -23 guys are involved with first team training by Bielsa request and playing them there would break the training bubble set by COVID.

Whatever said, have to respect Sancho also through this. As a United fan, kinda makes me wish he had kicked up a fuss, reduced his price. But having seen too many footballers throw their toys out of their pram when pushing for a move, this kinda nice and refreshing. (despite the arguments that he will still get to move next year, but looking at everything, I still don't believe he will kick up an extreme fuss (Coutinho?) even then.

By all reports, seems similar to Alaba. He wants Bayern to sell him now if they can't agree on a wage increase/extension as he wants to ensure they get some sort of fee. This despite the fact that he can stay on another year, be a key player, win trophies and move on a free for massive sign on fees next year.

I wasn't skitting Leeds mate. It's all an invaluable learning process.

Just going through last nights academy introduction into the tournament for this year.

Absolutely. He seems a straight-up, decent young man. Very refreshing indeed. And kudos to Alaba if that's the case with him and Munich too.

That's what's had Dortmund secure all through. They know they have him tied down and he's not unhappy at all to give them another year. And for once they have absolutely no need to sell financially with all they've raked in the last few years from major sales.

Ducker and Stoney from the BBC reporting Sancho is pushing this move now. Posted the tweet in the transfer thread.

Well, I would have done if I could have found a stream.

Never mind.
 
2-0 United at half time. Mature performance from United who have stood up to the physical challenge well. Laird, McCann, Garner, Puigmal & Elanga very impressive & some important defensive interventions from Fish who is the youngest player on the pitch
