The Manchester United Thread

[Tyton]

Funny watching people call DDG a 'loyal servant' when he only stayed because of broken fax machine.

Did you forget Mount just signed a 250k a week contract?

It’s a 250k a week incentive based wage according to Ornstien on talk of the devils podcast last week

Reports coming out of Italy that Hojlund personnel terms are now agreed. Be great to have him and Onana fly out on tour with us

 

[Anthony]

Did you watch that CL final?

No.

That’s more than double what Szoboszlai’s initial contract is.

Mad how every transfer you do gets played out in public in stages. Moat of the transfer thread must be taken up with Utd transfers. This is happening today. Thia is happening tomorrow. very long and VERY publicaly drawn out.

No matter who is running them, you continue to be real poor at every part of transfers.

Tbf, more often than not, those details are leaked by agents/intermediaries involved. I look back at the Casemiro deal and think to myself “how was it possible we kept this under wraps and then only made public just 2 days before he held up a united shirt?”.

And for every one of him, there's ten de Jong saga's. Begs the question how are the leaks always with Utd players?

Apart from a very public courting of Bellingham until it became apparent to them they had too much to do this summer and walked away from a done deal, we've had jack **** come out in the main since the initial van Dijk fiasco that cost them 5 months and an extra £20 million. Now, we want a player, it invariably breaks and is tied up within 24 hours. After they've dropped smokescreens all over on other players to allow them to move in silence. They were internally P that Mac Allister's release clause got out a week before he signed. Albeit the rumours where Argentinian based and not over here.

It's like Utd court the limelight and act that slow, and revel in it so much, they end up getting bent over for ridiculous fees that if they'd moved in silence and quickly, they could have tied up early for a lot cheaper.

Even today, you can control what comes out and what doesn't if you run a tight ship.

That’s Utd under the Glazers. They crave the limelight on the club. Hence why social media interactions is always a big thing for them at the higher ups meetings. It’s literally the first thing they talk about lol, social this, social that, media views this, clicks, clicks, clicks

As noted, it doesn't matter what yes men are in charge, Woodward or his prodigies currently running the ship, nothing changes. There's only the manager that would appear his own man.

Because, on global level, only two clubs are as big as United and generate such interest by simply mentioning them. There are countless examples of agents using Uniteds name to get a deal for their client, the latest is that CD from Napoli that went to Bayern.

The slowness in making any deals is the real thing and it has a lot of to do with the glazers and their indecisiveness, like with de Jong. Surely you contact the agent/player and ask if he wants to leave. The answer was clearly no, but they stick around for some reason. There's lot left to be desired and proper footballing structure is needed. United do look amateurish from time to time, but it hasn't always been like that. All started when Gill stepped down and Woodward came as his replacement.

That’s more than double what Szoboszlai’s initial contract is.

First of all, you are comparing Szoboszlai, player who's biggest achievement is being Austrian champion and named Rookie of the month couple of times with Mason Mount, who's twice the player Dominik is.
Second, Liverpool TRIPLED Szoboszlai's wages to 'steal' him from Newcastle, and Mason Mount salary is up to 250kpw, that is including bonuses. Base salary is 200kpw.
Third, you can read the reply above to see why everything around United is so public.

 

[Scouseinthehouse]

I hesitate to ask what two clubs are globally as big as Utd to justify the amateur hour nonsense of conducting everything so publicly.

Good to know we had to offer higher wages than Newcastle to 'steal' an Austrian rookie of the month from them though. Ta for the info mate.

 

[Vanjagl]

No, that is German rookie of the month. On pair with winning the Austrian League with RB.
And Liverpool 'passed on' Mason Mount, thinking Szoboszlai at 70m is a better deal. Or, you know, Mount rejected Liverpool and Arsenal and wanted only United.

 

[Scouseinthehouse]

Did he really?

Not quite what acrault happened there, but lets go with that if it fits better.

Who are the other two global clubs again? Out of interest.

Mate, do me a favour and take your S/stirring somewhwere else.

Its beyond petty. I start with a discussion with Legend, and now thats flipped into ‘trolling.’ Grow up lad aye?

 

[Theatre of Dreams83]

Manchester United are to add a further 2,100 safe-standing seats at Old Trafford next season after declaring a trial at the ground to be a success, bringing the total to 6,000.

The additional rail seats will be added in the south west quadrant of the stadium, adjoining the Stretford End and the home of the Red Army fan group, who have been adding to the atmosphere at the stadium in recent seasons...
