Manchester United have expressed interest in Jonathan Burkardt from Mainz, who has scored15 goals this season.
United’s interest in Burkardt is partly due to his proficiency in a 3-4-3. Scouts have reportedly provided glowing assessments of Burkardt’s adaptability and potential fit within United’s strategic framework.
However he is in demand with a number of EPL clubs showing interest as well as Frankfurt and Bayern in Germany.

Whilst I am not sure about these rumours and could just be open season for linking us to anyone I would be happy that we are exploring all options when it comes to a rebuild.
I don't know anything about him so can't comment but it is possible that we need a second striker or at least an alternative shopuld we not be able to get our main ones this year.
2.) 02 Jun 2025 17:07:35
Burkardt 24/ 25
28 games @ 2.5 shots per game = 70 shots
Those 70 shots = 18 goals which is a goal every 3.88 shots
Hojlund 24/ 25 played 23 games @ 1 shots per game = 23
23 shots = 4 goals which is a goal every 5.75 shots
Hojlund 23/ 24
Hojlund played 25 games@ 1.3 shost per game = 32.5
32.5 shots = 10 goals which is a goal every 3.25 shots
Burkardt @ the 24/ 25 shot rate Man Utd (28 Games for ease)
played 28 games@ 1 shots per game = 28
Strike rate of 1 goal in 3.88 shots, Burkardt would get an estimated 7 goals
Viktor Gyökeres 24/ 25
played 31 games @ 4.2 shots per game = 130.2 shots
130.2 shots = 39 goals which is a goal every 3.34 shots
@ the Man Utd creation rate 24/ 25
played 28 games@ 1 shots per game = 28
Strike rate of 1 goal in 3.34 shots, Gyökeres would get an estimated 8.4 goals
OUR MAJOR ISSSUE IS THAT WE DON'T CREATE SHOTS FOR THE STRIKER.
3.) 02 Jun 2025 17:30:02
Prime Ronaldo R9 in 97/ 98
Played 47 games Scored 34 goals and had 196 shots. That's 196/ 34 = a goal every 5.76 shots.
In a 28 game season at the Man Utd 24/ 25 shot creation rate
played 28 games@ 1 shots per game = 28
Strike rate of 1 goal in 5.76 shots, Ronaldo would get an estimated 4.86 goals.
Now obviously Ronaldo had the ability to create from nothing and its a completely nonsensical comparison but hopefully it highlights just how poor the service to our attackers has been.
4.) 02 Jun 2025 18:42:58
Good strikers create chances for themselves. You’re also ignoring all of the times when Hojlund was in the wrong position to receive the ball, or his teammates opted not to pass to him because they had no confidence that he’d convert. Then there are the countless situations when other teams double up on our creative players because they knew they could leave Hojlund free without having to worry too much about him scoring.
We would have created a lot more shots if we’d had a competent striker leading the line.
5.) 02 Jun 2025 19:34:58
Ok let’s look at martial.
22/ 23 - 1.3 shots per game
21/ 22 - 0.6 shots per game (injured most of the season)
20/ 21 - 2 shots per game
19/ 20 - 2.5 shots per game (17 goals his best season)
18/ 19 - 1.4 shots per game
It’s terrible creation for a top level team and it’s been happening for years.
6.) 02 Jun 2025 20:12:02
fully agree redseven.
7.) 02 Jun 2025 20:23:54
I do get where you are coming from Rewz, ut I also think Hojlund causes his own narrative as per Redseven.
So for context, in the last 8 premier league games, united were seen as creating 5 chances for Hojlund. Which looks bad, u til you see that in his single outing at the end of the season, we created 3 chances in 52 minutes for Chido Obi. So this kind of supports the fact that his positioning, hos reading of the play and yes quite probably the lack of faith in him from his fellow players does play a major part in his stats.
One thing that summed him up for me, he was played in, 3 yards out, ball in front of him, and as I've seen so many times. Has the touch of a polio sufferer, ball bounces off him whilst he falls over himself. It's like watching slapstick football to see how many different ways he can find a way to fluff his lines. He's only a young lad and I hope he recovers from his OT nightmare but he's out of his depth and honestly doesn't have the skills or the mind required to be Man Utd no 9. Just think, McClair, Cole, Berbatov, Ibrahimovic, Lukaku, blimey even Saha and dare I mention Martial who was dross and lazy, but just look at the level the lad is performing at, its a kindness to let him start again elsewhere. I thought about how he'd perform with cunha and perhaps mbuemo feeding him but I just don't see a player there. The instincts just aren't there despite his clear effort and desire.
8.) 02 Jun 2025 19:56:47
This player comparison shows Burkardt is a very good option. It does highlight how bad Rasmus is. He needs a loan I think, either with an option to buy, or we see if he can turn things around.
9.) 02 Jun 2025 22:23:49
Cavani 20/ 21 - 1.3 shots per game
Cavani 21/ 22 - 1.2 shots per game
Now here’s the difference
Zlatan 16/ 17 - 4.1 shots per game (the year we won the europa and EFL cup) .
Van Persie 12/ 13 - 3.7 shots per game (prem league winners, RvP top league scorer)
You create chances for your attacker they get you goals.
All the top strikers have avg approx 3 shots per game or over, it’s a statistical fact.
Given tonight’s news on Mbeumo, coupled with Cunha. Our striker will probably get a few more chances next season ? . Of the top 4 assist creators in the prem league only Salah (2.3) has better key pass stats (The final pass leading to a shot at goal from a teammate) than Cunha (1.7) and Mbeumo (1.8). Makes attracting a top striker a bit easier knowing they’ll get some service from those two.
10.) 03 Jun 2025 02:14:21
Rewz.
As you pointed out earlier, Martial averaged 1.3 shots per game in 22/ 23 and 0.6 shots per game in 21/ 22. What you failed to mention was that Ronaldo averaged 6.25 and 4.03 shots per game in those same two seasons.
11.) 03 Jun 2025 07:23:44
Stats can be made to look like whatever you want
Different leagues Different times Different teams all a bit pointless.
12.) 03 Jun 2025 08:57:42
@Redseven - Ronaldo demanded everything went through him, his shots per game stats nearly halved when he came to Utd. Juve 20/ 21 - 5.1 shots per game. 19/ 20 - 6.3 shots per game. 18/ 19 - 5.7 shots per game. Real 17/ 18 - 6.6 shots per game.
Ronaldo in the league (All stats above are league stats)
21/ 22 - 27 games 18 goals - 3.7 shots per game - A goal every 5.55 shots
He made 4 starts in 22/ 23 scoring 1 goal so the data set is poor but he averaged 2.5 shots per game.
His last season at Juve - 31 games, 29 goals @ 5.1 shots per game - 158 shots - a goal every 5.45 shots which is consistent with his output at Man Utd 21/ 22 (5.55). Now, if he had the amount of chances created at Man Utd as he did at Juve the season before over the 27 games @ 5.1 shots per game he would of had 137.7 shots this would of given an expected goal return of 25 goals in the 28 games an increase of 38.8% over the 18 goals achieved.
Ronaldo's stats didn't drop - the only stat that dropped when he came to Man Utd was the number of shots per game.
13.) 03 Jun 2025 12:07:49
Not sure where you’re getting your stats from, but according to ESPN, Ronaldo averaged 6.25 and 4.03 shots in the league in the season and a half that he spent with us, which is very much in line with his figures at Juventus and Real Madrid, despite the EPL being a tougher league and Ronaldo being well passed his peak by the time he came back to us.
The reason “everything went through” Ronaldo is because he was the focal point of our attack, which is what Højlund is supposed to be. Unfortunately, the team has lost confidence in Hojlund and so decide not to pass to him, and even if they hadn’t, he’s never in the right place.
You can reel off as many meaningless stats as you like, but it’s not going to change the fact that Hojlund isn’t good enough to lead the line for a Premier League club at this stage of his career. In all likelihood, he never will be.
{Ed025's Note - im with you Red7..
14.) 03 Jun 2025 15:10:22
I never said he was good enough, I was pointing out using stats (From Whoscored) that as a club our strikers do not get many chances, displayed by data over a number of years.
There's two reasons I bring up this stat, firstly, without service strikers generally struggle. Secondly after the winning the league in 20/ 21 Sporting lost out in 21/ 22 and 22/ 23 causing Amorim to change his tactics, specifically to create more chances (He's on record stating this) resulting in the league win in 23/ 24 scoring 96 goals an increase of 35% from the 22/ 23 season.
01 Feb 2025 14:00:59
Looks like Marcus off to Villa is a goer.
1.) 01 Feb 2025 18:01:49
Not sure about this one. Would rather he went abroad, guaranteed he will start scoring and playing well and help a team we need to catch up.
2.) 01 Feb 2025 18:55:39
Unfortunately we need him to go there and smash it if we want to get a decent fee, unless they are already discussing a commitment to buy fee. I think it is difficult to value him at the moment.
3.) 01 Feb 2025 19:01:35
Didn’t work out too well did it Marcus. Villa? Hardly Milan or Barca…probably actually found his level.
Does he know Villa players work their socks off? If he can’t be bothered to work for his hometown club, how will it work at Villla? I hope he does well as we need to sell him for a good price to fund the rebuild.
4.) 01 Feb 2025 19:02:36
Fallguy
Simply put, I'm so confident that you're utterly wrong that, if Marcus were to do better than his current 24/ 25 return of 214 mins per goal in all comps for Villa between now and the summer, I would ask for the Eds to change my name to whatever they like.
It ain't going to happen buddy.
Workrate and team ethic are very strong factors of Emery's style, which is why Rashford will look no better there than he does for United.
5.) 01 Feb 2025 19:13:51
Bottom line is that not many clubs wanted him. We move on no one player is ever bigger than our club.
6.) 01 Feb 2025 20:37:47
Ork- you could well be right. But it wouldn’t surprise me if he put in a real effort for the next few months to try and show United were in the wrong for letting him go. To then return back to his normal sulky lazy self once he’s signed a new contract with them for next season.
Although him signing permanently is unlikely in my opinion as I doubt he will be taking a pay cut anytime soon and no way Villa will pay £300k a week.
7.) 01 Feb 2025 23:04:17
Loan both clubs. Try before you buy. I don’t care where he goes, he just needs to move on now.
That being said, if Villa want to stump up with £30-35m, I say bite their hand off!
8.) 01 Feb 2025 23:28:46
I think it's a win win for villa. Allows them to really see if Rashford can be a longer term player for them. Meantime it covers Durans departure. If Rashford turns up they have a top striker for not a lot of money. If he doesn't no real harm done.
9.) 02 Feb 2025 09:15:21
70% wage contribution and £40m buyout fee.
Cheers, Villa! Win, win in my eyes.
If (big if), him, Rogers, Ramsey and Watkins click, they’ll be electric.
We save shed loads of wages on a player sitting in the stands and get £40m pure profit in the summer.
{Ed077's Note - is it an option or obligation to buy ?
10.) 02 Feb 2025 11:44:44
One thing I’m a little confused by is the Leon Bailey rumour? Not sure he’s what we need - that being said, we need to start buying players to suit a team, not a collection of individuals, and so if the recruitment twam and manager think he’s a good fit let’s see.
11.) 02 Feb 2025 11:58:37
Who cares where he goes. £365k a week off the wages.
Ta ra Marcus.
13 Jul 2024 07:28:00
Amrabat decision to be made next week apparently.
Regardless of the other ins and outs expected in midfield, should he stay?
1.) 13 Jul 2024 08:08:59
Hard one. His work ethic is unquestionable but lacks passing skills and can look quite labored. All depends if cas goes imo and then would make sense to have him as a squad player plus a proper new number 6 coming in. By all accounts a good character and professional.
2.) 13 Jul 2024 08:14:21
Mmm. It’s a no from me. Good heart, work rate, attitude etc, just a bit too slow for the Premier League in the ball for me.
We need an Amarambat type player absolutely, but a better version of him.
Different positions entirely, but Mason Mount has to be like a new signing for us this season. Top player and passer of the ball and a pressing machine. He’ll add a new level of energy to our midfield.
3.) 13 Jul 2024 09:12:38
Got to agree I don't think he is good enough, but maybe just lack of game time. The amount of times he gave the ball away with simple 5 yard passes that led to the opposition bearing down on goal. Great work rate but will cost us games IMHO.
4.) 13 Jul 2024 09:16:45
I’ve seen Amrabat a lot for Fiorentina including in the flesh. He played exactly the same way for United.
As I said a year ago, an unspectacular signing. Better than McTominay as a DM, but a squad player at best.
Imo we need to sign a DM as a priority, regardless of whether Cas stays.
5.) 13 Jul 2024 09:41:50
Ugarte priority as DM unless we have the money to get the Benfica lad. Then once that is done do we want another in midfield at which point I would be happy with Amrabat as rotation.
Mount next year will be like a new signing for the team.
6.) 13 Jul 2024 09:49:27
Wazza same as you, I see Amrabat as a better player and option in midfield than McT. Selling McT and getting a squad player like Amrabat for small amount would be good business. I think Ugarte will be a United player too.
7.) 13 Jul 2024 10:00:29
Think Ed002 said something about Amrabat was an expensive and complicated loan deal so financials might also be at play here.
Decent squad player though rather sell him and promote Collyer.
8.) 13 Jul 2024 10:14:03
Dont see him as better than free agent Ndidi from Leicester - PL experience if we are talk squad/ europa league.
9.) 13 Jul 2024 11:00:30
I thought he had a great game in the FA cup final, but that was his only great game for us. All his other performances were average at best.
He's a decent squad player, but I don't think we should be committing to buying average players. Not if we want to move on from making the same transfer disasters of the past decade.
Supposedly we could get him for 18-20m, yet there are options like Youssef Fofana available for 25-30m. For me Fofana is a much better player, and nearly 3 years younger. He has the potential to become a first choice player with us, something that Amrabat doesn't. Fofana isn't the only good value option out there, André from Fluminese is supposedly available for a similar fee.
While all signings are a gamble, and they may be no better than Amrabat. There is every chance they would be better, while signing Amrabat just means signing a player we KNOW isn't good enough, which just seems silly.
10.) 13 Jul 2024 21:33:22
Nope. Good attitude, but his first touch gives me the fear.
11.) 14 Jul 2024 07:21:39
Save the cash and buy Ugarte. Massive upgrade.
10 Aug 2023 19:45:24
So Fred and Kovar say goodbye to United tonight, a few more to join them over the coming weeks.
1.) 10 Aug 2023 20:55:52
Shame to see Kovar leave, I thought he looked really promising in pre-season. I wonder if there is a buy back clause.
2.) 10 Aug 2023 20:58:16
An absolutely ruthless, yet long overdue exodus is occurring at OT.
ETH is firmly getting his own way and I for one am delighted. Bailly, McTominay, vdBeek and hopefully Martial to come.
3.) 10 Aug 2023 21:13:18
Kovar is a weird one. I really liked what I’d seen and I’m hugely surprised he didn’t stick around at least as 3rd choice keeper. What do we actually want in a back up keeper….
4.) 10 Aug 2023 21:52:54
Downsie53
I think he set his own tone with how he managed the Ronaldo situation.
Since then, we've all expected him to continue being bullish about what must happen for his vision to be realised, but we've all been rightly dubious because of the significant levels of incompetence we're so used to from all levels.
Finally, we're getting rid of so much that should have been shipped off when it had greater value.
5.) 10 Aug 2023 22:25:28
Kovar will have a sell on fee no doubt. Gutted to see Fred fo especially with the low fee. He always worked his socks off, covering every blade and was good at breaking play down. i'd rather us have sold scott. he was massively under rated by a lot of our fans like the other neville and oshea used to be.
6.) 10 Aug 2023 22:53:44
First option and buy back clause in the kovar deal by the sounds of it. Giving him chance to progress but securing option if he does well.
7.) 10 Aug 2023 23:11:34
Can't see Martial going anywhere with his injury record. Who's going to want to pay him £13m + a transfer fee when they can have him for a whole lot less next year? And since he's unsellable I think ETH will keep him as a decent back up who he hopes will be available to play maybe 10 games this season. Who knows, with his contract expiring, maybe he'll actually be motivated to do something to earn himself a decent new one somewhere else next season.
8.) 10 Aug 2023 23:47:44
Kovar needed to go because he could actually be a decent keeper bit aitting on the bench for 5 years behind Onana is going to ruin his career. Best he goes and plays and if we have put the clauses if he does become what we hope then we bring him back.
I am not a fan of keeping kids around who don't play it doesn't help thwm at all. I do we think we should have a squad small enough to allow us to give kids a chance but that's not easy with a keeper as generally they cam play every match and you csnt give em 30 mins as a sub here and there and starts every now and then.
I also think it helps us if we are a team helping players to do what's best for tbem in terms of reputation amd attractiveness of the club as well.
9.) 11 Aug 2023 11:19:02
I agree Kovar needed to play regular football this season, I just thought a loan deal might have been best. Then the club would still have the option for him to come back and challenge Onana if his loan went well.
I suppose if the club have an option to bring him back though a buy back clause or similar then it makes sense to sell and bring much needed revenue back into the club.
It's a tactic other clubs have used to great effect. Selling some of their best young talents to raise funds for purchases, but inserting buy back options so they can bring those kids back if they progress and reach their potential. It can be better than a loan as the buying club has more of an investment in the player, more reason to invest time in developing the player than they might if it was just a loan. While for the player it gives them a sense of certainty over their immediate future and allows them to focus on their career and their development.
So it can be a good way of raising funds and giving players a clearer development pathway, while keeping some level of control over the future of the player.
10 Jun 2023 06:27:25
SS reporting that United have contacted Min-Jae representatives about signing him. Bid will be made when the release clause of £42m kicks in on 1 July. Let's see what happens in 3 weeks.
1.) 10 Jun 2023 10:37:04
Didn’t one of his representative come out recently and say he wants the United move? Really great business if we can get him. Add a sweeper keeper and we’ll play a high line next year with great play out potential. Hopefully we get a really strategically focused transfer window.
2.) 10 Jun 2023 14:41:09
yep, we should be ready to pounce in about 12 months once the sale of the club is done.
3.) 10 Jun 2023 14:57:35
Don't know whether to laugh or cry at the comment bfbw.
4.) 10 Jun 2023 15:05:43
It would be nice if we could complete a deal without a huge saga starting. KMJ looks a great deal. But i think for most fans it is a lower priority role after the performances of Lindelof and shaw since Jan.
Hopefully it is done easily and shows others our intent to sign even through the sale process.
5.) 10 Jun 2023 16:06:26
No it’s definitely not a lower priority, we need a top class CB to come in and rotate with Varane, Lindelof is option 4 let’s be honest.
6.) 11 Jun 2023 12:32:03
City's CB options are out of this world.
Ake, Stones, Laporte, Dias and Akanji
We need similar standards.
7.) 11 Jun 2023 13:23:59
Lindelof has done a great job this season. There is always a need for rotation and as long as he's happy to be a rotation player then he stays for me.
8.) 11 Jun 2023 16:08:15
What Linelof performances? Everytime he played he made mistakes and just is not good enough. He's better than maguire yes but not by much.
9.) 11 Jun 2023 18:51:10
Ake is average, Laporte too.
Diaz has been world class at times, but can blow a little cold for periods of the season.
I wish we had got Akanji, he looks the business and I think we looked at him.
Stones has looked very good this year, stepping into his new hybrid role between midfield and CB. He has matured under Pep and the coaching team at city, he used to make a lot of mistakes when he first went to city.
If you compare our defenses I don't think Shaw, martinez and varane are much of a drop off. We need a new starting 8, a top class striker and we need better creativity and cohesiveness from our attacking play (whether we achieve that from just adding those 2 players and coaching, or we need to change more) .
10.) 12 Jun 2023 07:40:47
RR recommended Akanji to Utd.
11.) 12 Jun 2023 13:39:57
Pretty sure Ralf Rangnick recommended Akanji, Caicedo and Juilan Alvarez. All could have been bought for less than 40m combined.
12.) 12 Jun 2023 13:40:37
They are a great team and give credit where its due. very difficult feat to achieve.

Do you think we will struggle to move on some players, Rashford was hopeful on Barca, but now they have signed Nico Williams so it seems a non starter, Sancho, iI think we’d have to pay some one to take him, Betis want Antony but can’t really afford him this season and Garnacho, seems Napoli, Chelsea, and Villa could be interested, but not at the prices we quoted.
1.) 19 Jun 2025 16:25:32
I think the only real problem will be Sancho. Rashford seems open to a move so I expect would be willing to be a bit negotiable on his contract. Anthony just needs a club to have a solid proposal which I’m sure will come, do think he’ll end up at Leverkusen. Garnacho will have enough suitors, knows he’s got to go and just needs the club to get the best deal possible without cocking it up. Sancho though, probably wants a move but will not compromise on salary, which is his right and I get to a degree but ultimately will cost him kickstarting his career again. The way I see it is that he’ll have to take a pay cut soon because once his contract is up I can’t see anyone offering what we did so he could end up without a club. So take one now, play regularly and be in a position to demand pay increases.
2.) 19 Jun 2025 17:00:50
I think your reading too much nonsense. You don't know they amy of that is factual none of us do. I don't think Barcelona have signed Williams. So much crap written most of it to feed the frenzy of gullible football fans.
They won't be easy to shift that's for sure possibly do a couple of loans. The me regime is still paying for the mistakes of the old so it lengthens the process of a rebuild. Mental contracts given and fees paid by individuals that were not competent to individuals that were also not competent as it turned out. Open heart surgery is time consuming. I think see all need to understand that and show some patience and understanding. They new they were buying into a complete mess from top to bottom every aspect of the club in decline and taking further behind. Some really painful but correct moves have been made to the business and a few errors along the way but things imo are looking up for the 1st time in years due to there being a sustainable plan.
It's all positive a fast as I'm concerned even if its a hard watch looking in.

Sancho is in effect doing what De Gea did, from a contractual perspective, as in, not reducing his expectations to secure a continuation of his career. It worked out ok for DDG, as he had already had a decent career. Sancho has not and is being very short sighted. He runs the risk of not being signed by anyone once he is on a free because he thinks he is worth more than he is.

Patrick rather.

Arsenal, City and Chelsea in the first six games, tough start.
1.) 18 Jun 2025 16:32:51
We'll do them ????.
2.) 18 Jun 2025 19:37:55
Not with Onana in goal. Big surprise no one has come in for him! Mistake waiting to happen game after game. The defence must feel so unconvinced with him behind them.
I know it’s nigh on impossible to get rid of him, but we MUST bring someone in. Disastrous signing. One of many!
3.) 18 Jun 2025 19:54:16
Patrick, you just answered why no-one has come in for him ?.
4.) 18 Jun 2025 20:29:29
Rhetorical .
5.) 18 Jun 2025 22:16:23
2 days into the window just for some perspective.
6.) 19 Jun 2025 21:41:12
Sorry, Patrick. Missed the exclamation mark ?.
25 May 2025 13:43:41
Great news that EtH is off the Leverkusen, hopefully we sell him some of the players he bought at United.
1.) 25 May 2025 19:57:35
ETH will be successful with leverkusen.
2.) 25 May 2025 23:47:01
How does a 'clown' get a gig like that? And Ajax, and Utd? ?.
3.) 26 May 2025 11:57:46
Hope it goes well for him.

Congratulations to Scott McTominay, league winner and MVP for 2024-25 what a year he has had.
Have to say he could have let his head drop after leaving United, but he rose to the new challenge and has been outstanding for Napoli.
Hope his success continues into next year.
Think I will be cheering on Inter in the CL final as they have a few ex Utd players like Matteo Darmian and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.

The sun is almost shining and it a Cup Final day, my mate says he is really nervous about tonight, I am not.
However, I’m not confident either, it really all depends on which United turn up tonight, and there is no way of predicting that.
1.) 21 May 2025 08:15:23
If Europa team turn up we win.
2.) 21 May 2025 09:20:04
I'm confident! Spurs best 3 players out, and other than de Ligt we're as strong as we can be. 2-0!
3.) 21 May 2025 09:48:30
I read this quote online yesterday and it’s sums my feelings up perfectly. ‘As a united fan watching the Europa league final, I don’t know what to expect. If we are 2-0 down I’ll still believe we can win it, and if we are 2-0 up I’ll still think we could lose it. I’ll only know for sure when the final whistle blows’.
4.) 21 May 2025 10:31:03
I think Spurs will win in within the 90 mins or it will go to penalties. i'm not confident facing an English given how poor we have been in the league.
5.) 21 May 2025 10:37:24
I’ll be sticking my money on spurs to lift the trophy.
6.) 21 May 2025 11:36:53
What gnev?
7.) 21 May 2025 13:07:43
I have 0.01% confidence. I’d be more confident against a non prem team.
We’ve proved this season we are awful against premier league teams, and already lost to spurs this season more than once.
Can’t see us keeping a clean sheet, which is standard this season, struggle to see where the goals come from at the other end.
We need the likes of Bruno and Amad to have the game of their lives.
8.) 21 May 2025 17:53:01
In betting terms it means whoever lifts the trophy, so it can be 0-0 at full time and your bet still stands, after extra time 0-0 the bets still live, so if its won on pens then whoever you chose to “lift the trophy” will win/ lose the bet.
Usually when you bet on the outcome its at the end of 90 mins, the market.
So if i bet on spurs to win and its 0-0 at 90 mins my bet would lose.
9.) 21 May 2025 19:32:03
A safe bet would be Onana palming the ball straight into the path of solanke.
10 Jul 2025 21:05:24
Not team training, he and the others are allowed to use the facilities at Carrington if they wish.
09 Jul 2025 06:15:48
The Mbeumo saga. That’s a whole box set not just a deal Red.
07 Jul 2025 17:49:54
Seen lots of posts saying this isn’t happening, who knows these days. Hopefully the Mbeumo deal can be completed this week, or we should move on.
02 Jul 2025 17:14:22
Our biggest issues last season was not scoring goals, it’s the one main area we must improve, nobody can expect Cunha to cover the gaps all by himself.
01 Jul 2025 16:28:27
While it is good to see so many prospects, I doubt we will ever see the number come through like 92. If we get 1 or 2 that turn into regular first team players that is a great return on the investment.
10 Jul 2025 21:21:01
The Mbeumo deal is close to resolution, we offered £55m + add ons, Brentford want £65m.
Rumour is we are settling around £62m + add ons. United preseason starts in Sweden next weekend and they fly to the US a few days after and they will want him on that trip, so it should get sorted out in the next few days.
10 Jul 2025 21:12:22
Chelsea sold their woman’s team to their own investment company for £200m and then bought loads of players on ridiculously long contracts to amortise the costs.
09 Jul 2025 06:34:05
Top 10 would be an achievement next season, still only one addition to our forwards and five stuttering departures.
What I would like to see is more consistency from the team and a bit more clinical in front of goal, is that too much to ask.
09 Jul 2025 06:31:01
I’m not sure how the Barcelona deal would be on for Rashford, they had trouble registering players last year, didn’t Danni Olmo have to sit on the sidelines for 6 months before they could register him, the Williams deal fell through after his agents were shown Barca’s accounts and they started asking for guarantees that he could be registered.
You have to ask how someone who should be commanding a fee of £40m and is asking wages of £15m a year going to help meet their salary cap, when it is known they have to get a few high wage earners off the books… just seems bizarre.
07 Jul 2025 17:50:50
I would rather get shot.
