Yeah, I thought the same thing yesterday. We haven't really got this right-to-work thing sorted yet, have we?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Some players have received work permits with much less of an international pedigree, it would be scandalous if he didn't get one. He played in the world cup final just a few weeks ago for Christ's sake.
Edit: Hadn't heard about this court case stuff. Bloody hell...

The permit delay has nothing to do with the court case, I hope?
geez so its basically So who will play as centreback tomorrow? Mike Keane - Jones - Blackett or Thorpe or is Evans ready?
Yes but most other clubs have the relevant legal work done to ensure the work permits aren't rejected. Fernando was playing for City within a week of signing, wasn't he? It just feels like United post-Gill has been run shabbily on the football side.
That's because he has a Portuguese passport. Rojo only has Argentinian passport and these things could take a while, absolutely nothing on our side we could have done to avoid it, procedures are set in motion once you've signed the player.
I imagine it could well be.
I can totally understand him not being given a work permit if he's awaiting trial for a violent crime.
A guy earning 60k a week can't get a work permit, but Jihadist fighters can return to the country and resume their lives. #UKLogic
Isn't it a bank holiday in the UK today?
What court case,can someone enlighten me?
Apparently he threatened someone with a bottle back in Argentina. Or something along those lines. Happened a few years back.
Yeah
He is alleged to have smashed a glass bottle on someones head.
I wouldn't put it past the current lot running our club but you'd hope that they weren't so incompetent that they wouldn't have checked for any work permit difficulties before completing the transfer.
Let's assume he fails to get a work permit on appeal, what happens? Is the transfer done and you'll have to loan him out or can you still pull out of the transfer?
Probably some scouser,had it coming.
Must. not. bite.
I'm doing you a favour and going to have a cup of tea.
Well there you go. Court case is irrelevant. Can't get a work permit with nobody at the home office to sign it off.
This is probably all it is. The journos would be making a bigger deal of it otherwise.
Rojo's missus.. she is smoking.
Please do. I'd like to know how my point is invalid.
He's unlikely to have put that on his CV.
How did he not get a work permit? He is a starter for Argentina.
She's stunning.
Has any reliable source reported that a work permit has been rejected? And how long does it take to get one for footballers? I thought not more than 2-3 days ...
And DDG!!Him and RVP have the best looking birds in the United squad imo.
So he smashed a bottle on someone...Can't he just give them 10k or something and settle?
We really need to start greasing the wheels in these situations.
Convince the UK government not to have a bank holiday the last Monday in August?
Might be tricky...
Him and RVP have the best looking birds in the United squad imo.
RVP? We've got a very different taste then
I think it is obviously very early to judge the player when he didnt feature a single minute for us but he may be played in midfield as well, more precisly as an anchor man. Hes got loads of energy and would do De Jong for us or more technically gifted Jones.. but it is just an early guess. I can't stand Cleverley-Fletcher midfield anymore...
Im guessing you haven't see David De Gea's girl, Edurne!
Also thank you once again to Agent Marcos for helping us sign Di Maria.
Don't get it. She's ugly. Looks like Morticia Addams with big breasts.
Where is his work permit? Or am I missing something?
