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.
Probably something like behind all the blah blah was the truth (United)
Dab, blah, blah blah. Is this what muppetry turns you into?
That adidas advert makes literally no sense. It's like a splurge gun approach to tailored marketing - throw all the ingredients of a narrative into a bowl, throw the bowl at a wall and then just go "mneeeh..look...stuff!"
Sky have finally suspended the market.
I shall be glad to see him back but I think the price is crazy. However I would rather have pogba than a nice big profit announcement in the next year!
One thing that caught my eye though, an add on if pogba extends his contract at United. I find that crazy if it's actually true. No wonder player fees are so high if we agree to mad add ons like that that! At least martials add on for say winning the ballon d'or makes sense but giving Juve 5 mill if we decide to extend his contract is madness, especially as his new contract seems massive (meaning the contract after would be huge!)

Juve is part of Adidas too, pretty harsh
I thought it was one of those "when you see it..." posts but nope still trying to figure out what the hell that is.What the feck?
Am I the only one completely confused by that adidas ad? What does it even mean? I don't understand why they would smudge the United logo with a huge "BLAH!" just to have Stormzy showing outside of OT with a United sweatshirt on? Surely it must mean he's going to United, but I can't see the reasoning behind it..
Adidas were trolling all along! The end of that blah blah blah video has a picture of man utd crest and stormzy in a Utd jacket! They've known all along
Adidas was definitely setting up for this advert.
"Don't believe what you read in the papers." Remember a certain big tittied "reporter" that tweeted that phrase along with a selfie of her and Pogba?
"Blah blah blah." Remember Raiola's tweet saying that exact thing?
It's not a coincidence, and it's not Adidas releasing this in reaction to those tweets, as the Pogba scenes in that video were not filmed in Miami. I guarantee you that Adidas paid that woman and Raiola to tweet those. As for the woman, it's not terribly difficult to get C list celebs to tweet things for a fee (a friend of mine has done it for a business he runs). And Raiola is the agent for one of their biggest stars, so it's not hard to see him involved.
Well sorry mate I'm not on Twitter, didn't think it was officially from adidas that's why I asked and thought someone might be fecking around. But thanks for the seriousn post
I have no idea either mate.
Guess theyre saying we're milking it, with the Addidas adverts and all.
To be honest, I asked myself this question too and apart from Didi there are very few examples of such players - maybe Seedorf too, but it's a bit of a stretch, most of them are of a mixed heritage and from SA.
Can't think of a top playmaker from Africa though, but Africa wasn't blessed by the coaches, facilities etc and it's only the last few decades when top prospects can receive a proper football education abroad.
Toure is probably closest to a top playmaker from Africa, but he, like Pogba, lacks vision, even though they possess all the necessary technical attributes
The world has gone mental
Sure. Why don't you go back to Fila while you're at it. You are about the right size for it.

Is the announcement before the unveiling? If so, when would it happen? Tonight, even?
Can't wait for next summer when we go and sign Dybala
It's our biggest transfer by a mile and the most expensive transfer in world football. It's going to milked a lot more.
The add implies he's NOT coming to United.
The blah blah blah is about him coming to Manchester.
It doesn't make sense...unless he's not coming.

More likely tomorrow will be the official announcement from United but I'd expect somewhere like BBC to pick up on it before then.
Who the feck is Stormzy?
Isn't that the case for majority of today's digital art?
It's certainly monkey - typewriter stuff.
We've reach almost the end, lads. Been a roller coaster ride the past month or so
Sure. Why don't you go back to Fila while you're at it. You are about the right size for it.

The torture the fans have gone through? What the flying feck happened to them?Should we buy Pogba for £100m ? Its not too late to change your vote.
We shouldn't. For so many good reasons.
... but it was only £91 million in the end so that's ok.
Amazing!
This is very true, and when they did speak/write based on their own sources, they had been briefed that United had not bid for Vidal. We never did bid for him. I believe his agent was pushing for a move, but we had too many concerns over his knee surgery and returning too quickly to play in the World Cup (where he was clearly hobbled by returning too early).
It is good. Maybe if it was "he was just on loan" instead of 'only' it might flow better?
Oh, and me too
They are a touchy bunchFor some reason that Adidas video got Juventuz tilted.
Their asses must be so soar after this saga. Actually feel for them, they are so delusional.But isnt that a good thing? English journos are never reliable so the less they say the better.
Adidas ad makes no sense. Still it seems to serve our purpose and confirm the much awaited
I'm a 99% sure it's done dealio because of di Marzio etc., but people really misinterpret that adidas commercial video...
That video had to be done a long time ago so they couldn't even be sure. Also, I understand it as: don't believe the rumours (which were all about Pogback, ignoring Marca/AS)

Remember lads. We're a small club in decline and can't attract any good players.
@Acquire Me does it again!
