The Manchester United Thread

That scam has always narked me. Not only with football clubs but gigs etc. Not only do you get charged a booking fee online, the twats have the **** taking gall to charge for each individual ticket! Even if you're booking X amount together. There really should be some sort of legislation to stop that. Big saving over the course of a year to not have it.

A lot of good there but the demand for early season ticket money is scandalous from clubs that don't frigging rely on it for anything. No sooner has the season ended than that drops on the mat wanting it within a very short period! L'pool have at least finally brought in a way to spread it over a year the last few years. But there's still an early deadline regardless. That May 5th above is before at least the last three league games of this season!

Anyone would think clubs needed the season ticket revenue to plan for summer transfers still. Bastards.

I agree the booking fee's are an absolute joke!

Not sure if English clubs offer it but up in Scotland - Rangers offer a scheme were you pay monthly DD or Monthly finance for your season ticket to pay it up in 4 different months which is helpful for many people especially for people who are maybe buying in bulk!

Majority of English clubs do too, I pay mine the same way for Leeds

^^^^^ Not a favourable stat given the actual goals resulting from them.

Our finishing has been awful. Everyday, I re-live those 6 draws we've had that should've been all wins. 12 ******* points...think about where we could be today if we were nearly as ruthless as we were under lvg.

Interesting counter points. Simeone potentially going nowhere stands out:

Three major problems with Antoine Griezmann moving to Man United

And then you get the President being completely disingenuous to Utd. This could get messy the summer:

All dependent if United are willing to pay his RC, if they are nothing Atletico can do its all on whether the player wants the move them which you would imagine he probably would if reports are true he supports them and beckham was his idol etc, not too mention the mega contract he would get.

Conversely we're told he's fiercely loyal to Simeone. So if he goes nowhere ......

The baseless speculation is getting nauseating. He often tweets about L'pool. So if you dropped a few of them in another tweet saying he's a L'pool fan you'd suddenly have a zillion more tweets running with that rumour. Totally fabricated but then most of these are a case of putting 2 and 2 together and making 5.

Tbh I couldn't tell you, I only go by what ToD and others post here, my twitter is dedicated to all things FPL, as I become a bigger part of that community. Tbf we can talk about players who are loyal etc, but for 99 percent of players as always itll come down to money. It'll come down to the RC being met imo because iirc Atleti have an embargo? Don't think United will be the only club interested though they will have competition for sure the guy is one of the absolute best, I know Mike is a massive fan too and wanted United to sign him when at Sociedad

On the Liverpool point I'm sure Klopp would love him in his team he fits the system well imo, just don't see Pool dropping 85m on him at all.

I am not saying it's 100% done deal. But it's hardly baseless tbh plenty of reliable people have reported a deal is agreed in principle that are pretty good with Utd news or who have been in the past. And it's well known that Mourinho wanted him at Chelsea. Also Malachians had a guy on his show who know people at the club a couple weeks ago said talks were defo progressing. And someone on Reddit knows a guy who's one of the top men on addidas marketing team in regards to Utd and said things are already being talked about for the Summer for unveils etc. This is going the exact way as the Pogba deal atm. Same pattern same people reporting it and saying the same things.
 
He's fiercely loyal to Simeone. But as subtle and I have discussed, that's irrelevant of any move. The biggest obstacle will be CL. It's pretty obvious discussions are ongoing. That doesn't mean a move is even close to happening, but like with Pogba, you get all other bits done and see what happens with the rest.
 
Should be made clear no decision has been made. United are basically going "IF you decided to join, what would be needed" and are dealing with that. They can't control what decision he makes, but they can do all the other stuff

Yeah won't be easy deal like Pogba. Will be wages, bonuses, image rights etc. If we can agree these things with him then it will happen as we are willing to meet his release clause. From what I read the other day it seems wages are pretty much agreed it's all the other stuff on top of that. Think it was a L, Equipe article.
 
No one is getting Dybala. Pogba going has meant Juve can fight off all the bids.

So true. There's no way Juve are selling him anytime soon. And when they do I can see it being a record signing for a STR maybe in 2-4 years time.
 
Some high praise from Jones on Mourinho this morning. Saying he wanted to leave the club. But Mourinho has come in got him on a different fitness programme. And told him he will be a key player for him in his squad and going forward for the future of Utd.
 
Mipo Odubrko was at City last season but joined United in the summer, has scored 40 gls at u14/15 level so far this season. One to watch out for in the future!
