We had a team of nice guys last two seasons. Jose wants ruthless winners just as Fergie did, not a team of Juan Matas.

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.
step back, the player
he doesn't appear to want to play for us
Don't forget the martial arts training....
Is he going to sign the contract with a gun pointed at his head?
He has told you that has he?
Yeah. That's not true.
It would be great if we could complete the signing tomorrow, reveal him on Sunday and sub him on for even 15 minutes in the community shield.
Give me strength
Yeah, I think maybe a month before he's fully up to speed given the league will be at a different pace from Serie A too. It will probably take us a while to really hit our stride and get going.
While this is all going on it'll have been a great time to try and get any other potential additions under the radar. Still hoping for another CB.
People used to say the same about the World Club cup in Japan, but now it's taken more seriously. Yes, it's not as important, but they all count.

Probably need to sell some players before bringing anyone else in.
So, when is he getting measured for a suit and his bloods taken?
I think this will be announced tomorrow, only based on Samuel Luckhurst's tweet that Getty Images have had a surge in requests for Pogba photos (or at least I think it was on Tuesday they published loads of new photos from Pogba's first stint at United). I think the sports editors in Britain have been briefed that something might happen this week, so they'll be preparing big features on Pogba coming home / the world record fee that will come out in the Saturday or more likely Sunday papers, and for this they want photos of Pogba from his first spell here.
A month?!? No chance have you seen him on them pads?!
But seriously I hope it's not a month he's only really stopped playing for a couple of weeks and he's a young lad who doesn't seem to be in bad shape id give him a week or two and he'll be dabing again!I highly highly doubt it'll get announced on a weekend. It'll be something like next Tuesday at 11am.
This saga will be handed a testimonial pretty soon.
I doubt it. I reckon he'll come in and immediately be our best player.
Well when did the Euro's finish? He's been on holiday since then. I'm not saying a month to play matches, but getting his full match fitness and settled into the team is probably going to take a while.A month?!? No chance have you seen him on them pads?!
I agree, the papers will be having a field day. I can see Maureen being under pressure in a few weeks.
"Deal is almost set."
Just sign the guy already, man this is just painful.
Just sign the guy already, man this is just painful.
He was in a position of "I'll sign it but I want to go ASAP", they could have asked him what's you opinion on powdered milk and he would have said "yes" and walked away, he wasn't comfortable which to me shows he isn't interested.
With the United fans he's stayed a little longer it seems and has actually had a bit of a conversation with, with him he just signed a ball said "yes", "yes" and left.
I don't blame you, it's pretty much impossible to keep track in this thread at times. I just thought I'd fill you in on what people thought rather than just go "yep, been there", considering you seemed interested in people's opinions.
They're counting out the cash note by note, Juve want to make sure them notes are real afterall. Plus they're counting it over and over to make sure we're not duping them out of any money, then you got Raiola sat in the corner frothing at the mouth seeing all that cash being counted knowing he's taking a far wad for himself. He's planning what specially made Pizza he's gonna have to celebrate, maybe something with 24 carat gold sprinkles over it and the worlds finest truffles. Just as we get to the end of the counting, someone looses count and they have to start again, delaying the deal.
In all seriousness, we're just going to have to ride it out until everything they need to do is done. We don't know whats going on behind the scenes, how complex the deal is, what bonuses Juve want added, what payment plan they'd like etc. It's pretty much a done deal, yes, but as Di Marzio points out, there's a few little things to do before the papers can be signed. Patience...
It doesn't help when the player in question is on holiday.
Yup thats very true. At the end of the day though, it'll be done when it's done. It could take 24 hours from now, it could take 24 days.
Absolutely if we singed him he would play for United: ) and if he played for United he would be an United player: )
Exactly.
Players forgot that they're here to win trophies and not write blogs and congratulate each other birthdays on twitter.
Have we ever announced a player at 1 in the morning?
Romero.
Romero? But yeah, we just got to wait this out.
Tomorrow or Saturday he reckons it will be done.
Are they supposed to be smiley faces? What is going on with the caf
But he's a United Legend. Single handedly won us the Champions League...
