Reported on Sky Sports.
"Borussia Dortmund have asked to be kept up to date with developments on Jadon Sancho’s future. "
Fingers crossed.
1.) 09 Jun 2025 09:42:09
I don't get this, the development is he's available for transfer. If they want him, put a bid in!
{Ed077's Note - probably need the move for Gittens to Chelsea get over the line first before they can spend on Sancho.
2.) 09 Jun 2025 09:48:52
If Sancho ain’t dropping his wages demands for Chelsea, I don’t see much hope with Dortmund. Their highest paid player is on about £175k a week. Sancho doesn’t get off the XBox for less than £300k a week, allegedly.
{Ed077's Note - what's the tax situation in Germany? ?
3.) 09 Jun 2025 16:51:20
We're on the hook for his salary and his amortization. ideally he's sold and off our books but that is likely to be impossible. United will be looking for the best loan deal they can muster. If they can cover half of the total cost fr next year they will probably take it.
4.) 09 Jun 2025 17:26:50
Re cost, I think the Muppetiers suggested that any extra due to Sancho in wages would be accounted for in the transfer fee received (ie one year left on his contract: £15 million (- wages new club) woukd be covered by his fee. So receive 20m say, minus 15 m wages, leaves 5m profit)
The main bonus for United’s accounts would be to get rid of Sancho and his wages.
5.) 09 Jun 2025 17:32:41
45% unfortunately!
6.) 10 Jun 2025 05:10:55
He has cost us £200million with his fees and wages and only played 87 games.
Is he our most expensive mistake?
7.) 10 Jun 2025 07:10:12
Did he grim? ?.
8.) 10 Jun 2025 18:48:11
Can link back up with Bellingham at Dortmund.
9.) 12 Jun 2025 16:46:01
Well we've already made 5m back from Sancho when Chelsea chose to pay us not to sign him.
17 Apr 2025 10:03:52
Zirkzee is out for this season.
1.) 17 Apr 2025 11:05:16
We’ll miss his goals….
2.) 17 Apr 2025 12:22:43
I don't think he's the answer to our problems, but we can't afford to keep losing players who actually contribute to the side. We just don't have the quality in depth to cover for that.
This does make the decision not to include Chido in our Europa league squad look even more foolish now.
3.) 17 Apr 2025 12:59:38
Does chido even need to be included at his age does he not fall under the age rule?
4.) 17 Apr 2025 15:12:27
He will stick with Rasmus for Europa hopefully more than 1 match! But I really hope he says to Chido, your in for every epl game from now till end of season and show us what you can do, that would give the kid the time and not feel he got 1 game to make an impact
Hope RA does that.
5.) 19 Apr 2025 20:11:22
Casemiro or Maguire up top.
26 Feb 2025 14:52:46
Headline on Goal:
"Manchester United cult hero Federico Macheda has sensationally offered his services to Ruben Amorim amid the Red Devils' goalscoring woes. " ?.
1.) 26 Feb 2025 15:26:24
???
First Pogba, now Macheda.
I'm just waiting for Fellaini to come out of retirement to save us.
2.) 26 Feb 2025 15:59:34
???.
3.) 26 Feb 2025 17:39:30
Haha give him his dues, scored a few at Birmingham and is banging in a few this year in Greece ?.
4.) 27 Feb 2025 16:38:04
Has more goal contributions than Hojlund and Zirkzee combined this year.
5.) 27 Feb 2025 18:25:33
OG has more goals than Hojlund this season. I have to say he looked woeful last night.
6.) 27 Feb 2025 23:48:40
Hoijlund should be a lesson well learned. Not to buy potential at inflated prices when we need the finished article.
7.) 04 Mar 2025 18:36:31
Højlund has ability, and isn't an awful player by any stretch.
The issue mostly seems to be his confidence is totally shot to pieces right now.
He isn't the finished article, and there are clearly parts of his game he needs to work on. But you have to expect that when you sign a 20 year old. The problem is that he should be learning off of a top level, experienced player not having to lead the line every single game.
8.) 05 Mar 2025 08:23:48
100%. Personally love the lad, the energy he puts in. Zirkzee too, lots of potential, but there’s that word again. I think 3-4-3 is too isolating for a young striker, 3-5-2 has always been my preferred formation, but that won’t change it seems so let’s back the team instead of bagging the kids before they’ve had a chance.
07 Jan 2025 09:56:35
Being suggested (in The Express at least) that United are pushing to recruit Paris Saint-Germain left-back Nuno Mendes this month. If true, opinions?
1.) 07 Jan 2025 10:00:56
Yes, seen a few reports on this one.
Intrest in mendes, kerkez and reported last night we are also considering Patrick Dorgu from Lecce. Can't say I've seen Dorgu play but the frist 2 would be an upgrade!
2.) 07 Jan 2025 11:52:31
This rumour is by no means new, it has been talked of for some time.
RA gave him his debut at Sporting and he thrived there, earning his PSG move pretty quickly, only played about 40 odd games for Sporting.
He is a wing back with good speed and good technically, a good attacking player but needs a bit of work on his defensive side. Only 22 so it would seem he could well be the right type of player we need. Talk is RA is very keen to recruit him.
We shall see.
3.) 11 Jan 2025 08:36:32
Fully expect to see us bring in a LEN and a Rashford replacement in the window at least.
Cas moving does make us light in midfield, so either Collyer has to step up or Bruno moves back.
4.) 11 Jan 2025 14:26:56
LWB not LEN obvs.
5.) 12 Jan 2025 21:43:59
Notice RA brought in Collyer instead of Cas today. Did very well too.
29 Aug 2024 16:58:33
Reading that Mount will be out for several weeks with a hamstring injusy.
1.) 29 Aug 2024 17:08:37
Has he been hanging out with Luke Shaw? Both made of glass.
2.) 29 Aug 2024 18:34:39
I've heard they spent time together over Christmas, guzzling down bottles of Baillys.
3.) 29 Aug 2024 18:36:38
People suggest Antony is the worst signing in recent years but for me it is Mount, £60m for a player who plays in the position our captain and ever present player plays, he had a year left on his contract and had just had a season where he was poor or injured. It made no sense to sign him and it makes no sense now, we also gave him ridiculous wages so we are stuck with him and he’s constantly injured. Just glad we didn’t give him the number 7, oh wait.
4.) 29 Aug 2024 19:01:04
Damn, we look suddenly short of options with mount injured and mc gone.
5.) 29 Aug 2024 20:16:41
But everyone said we needed a LB more than a midfielder ??♂️.
6.) 29 Aug 2024 20:56:20
videos of malacia training on grass, so a bit of good news.
7.) 29 Aug 2024 21:00:11
I’d go get Rabiot.
8.) 30 Aug 2024 09:43:23
Rabiot would be a great signing, especially if we can negotiate a good deal (2 years with a 1 year option, wages around 150-180k per week) .
Just want to make sure we don't go full Glazer on a deal and give him a 5 year contract on 300k per week.
9.) 30 Aug 2024 10:12:06
I've been saying all summer I would prioritise two midfielders even if Casemiro stays. Agree with Shappy here, Rabiot on 2-3 year deal on reasonable wages would be absolutely ideal.
10.) 30 Aug 2024 20:37:30
Lots of psychics here, anyone predict the lottery numbers or shall we stick to the told you so approach ?.

?BREAKING: Andre Onana has managed to SAVE a Microsoft Word document. ?.
1.) 29 Jun 2025 11:00:45
Are you sure he hasn't just palmed it back out for someone to stick in the recycling bin? ??.
2.) 29 Jun 2025 12:12:53
Probably saved a virus.
3.) 29 Jun 2025 12:21:01
Shame his backup failed too.
4.) 29 Jun 2025 13:57:09
Probably set itself to auto save on last update.

Sky Sports News:
“ Marcus Rashford has confirmed his desire to link up with Barcelona star Lamine Yamal;‘
The guy is delusional.
1.) 22 Jun 2025 11:37:49
I know, once williams signs in at Barcelona he's going to be left with egg on his face for sure.
2.) 22 Jun 2025 11:41:46
Me too Marcus. The issue is neither of are good enough.
3.) 22 Jun 2025 11:52:54
Honestly who’s advising these guys, rashford and sancho both! Rashfords ego well exceeds his performances.
4.) 22 Jun 2025 12:13:28
More chance of linking up with limahl from kajagoogoo. one for the kids there.
5.) 22 Jun 2025 12:24:59
In similar news, I have confirmed my desire to link up with Scarlet Johansen.
6.) 22 Jun 2025 14:59:37
In keeping the trend going the 3 blondes who I'd love to play with are
Mikayla Demaiter
Hayley Mcqueen
Holly willoughby
And a bit of Margot Robbie to keep me at my peak performance
I think I've got better chances than Mr Lazy Rashford.

“ Desi Devil has confirmed his desire to have coitus with Maid in Manhattan star Jennifer Lopez "
20 Jun 2025 07:25:12
On Sky Sports:
"Ruben Amorim is set to leave out Alejandro Garnacho, Marcus Rashford, Antony and Jadon Sancho from Manchester United’s pre-season tour, reports. "
Not unsurprising but good news all the same.
1.) 20 Jun 2025 07:58:29
Its actually pretty tragic news.
That's about £200 million of spend/ assets which are so toxic/ bad, they have to be excluded.
2.) 20 Jun 2025 09:55:09
Strong management and something we should have seen before. With Amorim totally. Also it is said they will all train separately to the main group until gone.
3.) 20 Jun 2025 10:34:51
Labelling Antony as toxic feels super harsh. he's not good enough, but has always given his best.
4.) 20 Jun 2025 10:49:29
The amount of money that Utd have spunked up the wall in recent history is incredible. Much of it on signings that we were all genuinely excited about at the time, but have transpired to be bad eggs for whatever reason. Why is it only Utd this seems to happen to? I remember a few players have commented that under Ole players were pretty much doing what they wanted at training etc. I can imagine that ethos alongside wages probably 3-4 x higher than they should have been is a massive factor.
5.) 20 Jun 2025 11:12:52
The fact that Amorim has been allowed to this is a very good sign if true. Post Sir Alex we have been extremely soft on the playing staff and thrown managers under the bus to protect the value of players.
Bad recruitment, poor leadership and a lack of strategy have got us to this point. Hopefully firm leadership will shift the balance of power from the playing staff to the manager. It will make getting players out easier, not taking massive earners with big reputations sends a huge message about their position at the club and sends a shot across the bow to the rest of the dressing room.
I would isolate them from the rest of the squad, they train alone away from other team mates, they aren't to be in the training ground when the team is there, they have no involvement in the first team squad at all. I'd put them in with the kids and make them do opposition drills and make it crystal clear, you will not play for this team again, you will not be trained, you will basically stand where you are told for the u18's to be trained around you. The players on multiple year contacts will run out the club, someone like Sancho will look for a loan to get his free at the end of next season BUT they would be gone.
Those are players that are obviously surplus to requirements, I'd do the same with Onana, be absolutely ruthless. You would need to be very honest with him and have the hard conversation that he's not in your plans and he's getting frozen out and that you are actively bringing in the new #1.
Its a shame we didn't listen to Rangnick and let him be the bad guy, do the clear out and give he next manager a clean slate but here we are.
6.) 20 Jun 2025 11:47:17
Eric, Antony was not labelled 'toxic'. You appear to have missed the / between the words toxic and bad.
7.) 20 Jun 2025 13:19:49
I expect there is also an element of keeping them at home to allow any potential transfer to go through quicker then if they were on tour. Good management and sensible decisions being made all round.
8.) 21 Jun 2025 00:54:11
Imagine if we had listened to Jose, and backed him to clean out the rot. a decade of going backwards wouldn't of happened.
9.) 21 Jun 2025 07:22:44
Yes Jimbo I looked at what the club bought for Mourinho in his last window and said at the time he should have walked out. He wanted to deal with player issues but it looked like Woodward and co decided the players were important assets and only important people like them (not the manager) would make decisions on them. In fact it was also widely reported one of the Glazers liked Martial and refused to let him be sold. Then let’s think what the idiots in charge did with Ralf Rangnick. Brought him in as a consultant to tell them what to do, great idea. Told them the truth which they didn’t want to hear, so messed him around put him as manager of players he was saying needed getting rid of and then clueless about what the reasons for playing badly, sacked him. Now it looks like they are behind a strong willed manager. Let’s hope it stays that way.
What a mess it has been and should have been so easy to avoid but instead we had Woodward the Glazer puppet. Don’t set me off on those leeches, I get told off on here.
02 Jun 2025 17:55:14
Looking on the bright side, we don’t have to deal with one again over the summer ?

5.) 03 Jun 2025 10:54:13
Gaitan…. That is a proper blast from the past.
6.) 03 Jun 2025 13:56:38
I think Gaitan was like that film The Terminal with Tom Hanks, still living at Manchester Airport waiting for the United call.

angelred, why do you get so triggered with opinions held by others? If folk think he’s a knob they think he’s a knob, big deal.
BTW, Sancho is a knob. Deal with it ?.
27 Jun 2025 07:54:49
Some wishful thinking there Utd Road?
{Ed077's Note - it is a lot of change to a Title winning team. Let's see if all just hit the ground running or it takes a few games to get it going for them.
26 Jun 2025 14:31:22
Rashford is a bad ball boy as well but wants the job at Barca? ?.
25 Jun 2025 08:08:36
Ork if it’s true we should bite their hand off and move on.
09 Jul 2025 13:13:10
Just get rid. I don't see a point in there being a discussion. Rashford has made his position clear. Move on.
As for his PR team, they and he are making him almost unemployable.
Barcelona? You're having a laugh.
08 Jul 2025 16:47:05
Jimbo, you have Helmets number spot on. The negativity just sucks the joy away and the repetitive nature makes it so easy to predict his responses.
06 Jul 2025 12:01:46
Excellent observations DLIB. I agree with you.
06 Jul 2025 07:48:35
Bmena, DO ONE ?.
05 Jul 2025 10:04:38
Salford I agree 100% with Ork and, NO, one CANNOT 'understand' why those who are not educated do think they can do what they want without comeback. To 'understand' is abhorrent.
