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.
What difference to the kit launch would Pogba's signing make in reality? I really don't see how announcing them on the same day would have any tangible benefits. Is this connection coming from somewhere?
I really do feel like not announcing Mourinho earlier cost us that deal, I think he was ready to come until we messed around deciding whether to keep him or not. Shame really, a midfield of Pogba and Sanches would of been amazing.
We'll take forever to officially announce it as thats what we do, but I'd like to think everyone would relax now.
I don't believe so.
Some just thinking the club want to show off Pogba during the kit launch.
I think it is either 1, not both.
What did Pogba do to his hair?
Not really. Without announcing also it's easy to explain the player about future plans.
When Pogba left we felt their pain, I have no sympathy for them
True. We table a bid for Veratti they would table a crazy bid for De Gea or Anthony as a warning shot
13 pages since last night. Ffs.
It would attract a lot more media attention/exposure to the kit launch if it coincides with the biggest transfer in history...
Depending on what number he is assigned, then dictates what other players are given. For example Pogba gets 8, United can't print the current MATA 8 shirts, as these may change & if United change the numbers post release, then as far as I'm aware they have to honor a replacement shirt FOC (via the Megstore anyway). I could be wrong on that but it would make sense to get the 'stellar' signing in, number assigned and then release the shirts.
Just a thought, it could be unrelated to any of the above though.
You are comparing Nedved with Sissoko?..you can't be serious? We know how good Sissoko is we saw him get relegated with Newcastle last season and played maybe a couple of good games . While he showed a few decent runs during the Euro's he didn't actually do anything that created anything. If you would prefer Sissoko to Pogba based on a few games at the Euro's you either a WUM or seriously lacking in judgement.well yeah we should be happy for now with pogba. I just hope the deal should be around 70 million and there is also other option like moussa sissoko that outshine pogba in euro 16.
just read the news that juventus interested in Sissoko.. I bet it will be like replaced Zidane with nedved in 2000man juventus is really genius in transfer market
I can't anything happening until the weekend now, also he still has a medical and complete contractual stuff so that will take 2-3 days.
I asked the barber on Snapchat (yes, I am a 13 y/o girl) if he knew anything about Pogba. He surprisingly said he had no clue and was just guessing based on the rumours he had heard. Really thought he was ITK, devastated
Do l believe?

That's a no brainier surely?
Obviously if you look at how we have handled Pogba between 2011 and now it's uttery terrible. A lot of the people who are now happy at this signing will probably be the same people who called him names when it was rumored that we did not want to give him the outrageous £30k a week he apparently had asked for back in 2012.
However if you look at this deal now it's not all that bad. He's a very good player with world class potential and will be able to improve the team from the very start. Obviously not a great price but if we can afford it then it's not a major worry. We've been after this huge transfer for 3 years straight (I won't consider Di Maria one because Real Madrid wanted to sell him).
Am I the only one who thinks this might not happen, despite the flurry of reports yesterday?
Maybe I'm just in shock

Actually keeping Pogba would have been counterproductive I think. There is no way in hell Real Madrid wouldn't have come calling during our barren years under Moyes and LvG, and Pogba probably would have requested a transfer. And who could have blamed him?
I'm sure adidas will have someone out in Miami, where Pogba is on holiday, to take some pics and footage for a launch.
He's the face of adidas along with Messi. It'd be huge for them

L'Equipe said it's done. Di Marzio said there is only small things to work through and he committed himself to MUFC when Madrid came back sniffing around.
In football transfers nothing is guaranteed until he's on the training ground. However this is close to being done. Pogba is likely to return to MUFC.

And who he be the player he is today, given what happened in the last 3/4 years at rhe club?
More important than transfer fees, how far off from breaking transfer thread records are we? What are the rankings atm and where does our boy rank?
Probably wouldn't have progressed as much as he did at Juve either. He got a fair deal of playing time even in his first season at Juve.
He probably still would have shown enough to be wanted by RM. And let's face it, where Juventus is getting roughly £100m we would have been lucky to get £40-50m
For that price RM would have snapped him up from us, no doot'aboot that.
Literally buzzing if we get him, will have a truly class player to build around he's only 23. Couldn't care less about the money just want to see united do well on the pitch, this guy can create from nothing and has the physicality to perform in the premiership.
Yes because that stopped them in the past.
I'm also holding back my excitement. I've been a member of this forum for a long time and seen many sagas reach breaking point before disappearing to obscurity the following week. I'll allow myself the get carried away when the BBC start saying he's on his way over for a medical or Juventus have accepted a bid.Am I the only one who thinks this might not happen, despite the flurry of reports yesterday?

Why isn't it announced yet? How many more muppet sacrifices does Woody need before he puts us out of our misery?
If Madrid weren't currently well stocked in the midfield department they would have been all over this transfer, especially with their impending transfer ban. They'd have pushed the price down by forcing the player to make public his desire to leave Juventus and join them and probably got him for around €80m-€90m. I'm pretty sure that if we do sign him they'll say something along the lines of "We could have signed him last season if we wanted to for €50m but we decided we had better players in his position". They're not going to like us breaking the world transfer record or beating them to a player who's considered a Galactico.
well yeah we should be happy for now with pogba. I just hope the deal should be around 70 million and there is also other option like moussa sissoko that outshine pogba in euro 16.
just read the news that juventus interested in Sissoko.. I bet it will be like replaced Zidane with nedved in 2000
Bang average player who didn't even stand out in a Newcastle side that just got relegated, how exactly is he a viable alternative to Pogba?
Also you can't compare Sissoko with Nedved.
It sort of strikes me as breaking the transfer record for the sake of it and to "make a statement" rather than cos he's actually worth it.
Same here keep thinking back to the time we nearly got Benzema and Madrid suddenly appeared out of nowhere and bought him from under our noses.
