£80m isn't going to go far especially when you consider the club needs two new fullbacks, an established striker and probably a decent back up defensive midfielder. They still need to get rid of the deadwood to bring in a few more pennies...

Well considering he’s already invested 300m before this £80 that’s a significant amount of his own cash and not added to the debt either. And this has nothing to do with transfers. This is for club runnings/infrastructure like completely rebuilding and refurbishing Carrington. Huge repairs and upgrades on OT while the new stadium plans get sorted. To help us comply with PSR/FFP. And general club running costs.

And it’s a **** ton more than anything those rats have done while being here. You or others might not like the stuff there doing. But he’s getting **** done either way.
 
Happy about this

Toby Collyer’s running stats are outstanding, which is why he was the perfect choice with #MUFC on 10 men at Arsenal. The start of greater game time? Club had call to make on loan this month but Ruben Amorim wants him at Carrington and in the squad.

Don't get me wrong it is good that he is willing to put his money into the club and not adding to the debt like the Spams have but as a realist the current state of the infrastructure is such that even then the money he has contributed will have done little to sort out the issues, the stadium is a joke, the behind the scenes staffing has been long over due an overhaul and thats before you even look at the overpaid bunch of primadonnas in the man's team. Yes some of his and his company's decisions have been dare I say it heavy handed in the approach but ultimately if the football element (both male and female) is doing well money will come in, without a successful football element no amount of redunancies, rebuilding or repairs will fix the issue of a company which has in effect been run into the ground by a family of greedy money grabbers.
 
Jeez Onana must have 80 touches already. This is utter w.ank.
 
Manchester United are pushing for a new stadium as the centrepiece of a wider regeneration project that is expected to generate £7.3bn a year for the UK economy and create around 90K jobs nationally. Discussions are underway to assess available land.

Awww man. Knocked me has that. 😢

Just like when another part of Utd's great triumvirate, Sir Bobby Charlton, passed a year or so back, I am genuinely proper saddened by this news this evening. Top, TOP footballer and an even better human being. As I can personally attest to .....

Many moons ago, we had a Monday night game at Southampton. I was the only one from our little crew who stayed over. So a leisurely train ride back from London the following day to Piccadilly before the hopper home. So I'm walking a pretty quiet train mid-morning, and as I'm going through first class seeing if there's any scran I could nick, haha, there's the great man sat there. I said Hi, gushing that even amongst the rivalry between us and them, how Denis was one of my Dad's all time favourite players. And he offers me to sit down ..... The next few hours back to Manny flew by as he recalled story after story. Many of his time at Huddersfield under Shanks. Even telling the guard who tried to move me on out of first class back to my seat that 'I was with him.' The only thing he wouldn't be drawn on was his back healer that sent Utd down in '74 haha. An absolute gentlemen and an experience I'll never forget.

Propper sad day for football this.

All genuine Liverpudlians send our sincerest condolences for an all time football LEGEND to his friends, family, and everyone in Manchester and beyond touched by his sad passing.

God rest The Law Man. 🙏🏻❤️

Full-time: Manchester United 5-2 Preston North End.

The Reds progress to the next round of the FA Youth Cup thanks to goals from J. Fletcher, Munro, Chido Obi (x2) and Ibragimov.

United breezed through the first half scoring four early doors but Preston fought back in the second half and clawed back two of their own

RIP Denis Law 😢

The trinity is united once more! Denis Law a true great of the game. One of very few who is a legend at both Manchester clubs, at City for that goal (which DID NOT actually send United down they were going to be relegated that day even if the team had won, but rival fans don't see it that way) on 27th April 1974 and at United for the goals he scored the throphies won. His humility would be something many of today's players would do well to emulate. RIP Lawman your duty is done!
