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.
I would not want him for half of that!
People seem to miss the point in signing Morata - he is a Jose type CF. Players like Aubamayang and Lacazette aren't.
We have players who will get in behind Morata, to feed him. Yum yum yum.
Look at the bigger picture.

Spain's Welbeck.
How can you underestimate Morata so much?How about the Spanish Emile Heskey then? He had one good season at Liverpool where he probably touched 13-16 league goals.
Spain's Welbeck.
While Morata is better than Welbeck without a doubt, I can see the comparison. Morata is more about his overall game than about his goalscoring. The season at Real was the first season where he scored 10+ goals in the league. He scored 7 in 34 and 8 in 29 in his 2 years at Juve. And we are less dominant and worse in attack than them. I don't think Morata will be a flop but I am not sure he will solve much of our problems. Real are scoring for fun, Chicha scored about 10 goals there too when he barely played 2,3 years ago I think. Even Welbeck would put up some numbers if he could play there a season.
He's scored against Barcelona and Real Madrid. And he's scored against the fourth placed team Sevilla. So obviously that's not correct.
Not james, we need wingers.
Well, he didn't play against them either, except 60 minutes vs Sevilla, if I'm not mistaken.
I meant last/this season
Don't rise to it. Talking utter bollox.Spain's Welbeck.
While that's fair enough, my point was moreso that though his numbers look good that they came against weak defences in general. Though I'm sure if he played enough games against good defences he would score a few, I haven't seen anything from him to suggest he could score against good defences consistently. I consider Italian defences to be far more similar to the type of defending he would be facing in the Premier League and his numbers in that league are pretty average even though I appreciate he did contribute in other ways.
Ok fair enough. But he has scored against top teams in the past. It's not likely he's never done played at that level.
It's a crap insult anyway. Welbeck is a good player.Spain's Welbeck.
The 3 most successful coaches in Premier League history have all been big fans of Welbeck.
And therein lies the problem. He mostly played the dead rubbers. Most strikers would fill their boots in those playing for Real.
I dont think that its a coincidence that all threes favourite Disney movie is Bambi.
Yeah I know, my point was moreso to explain his scoring numbers for this season which seem to be the argument of most for why he could be a good signing. His numbers per game look good but they all came against quite poor defences. While I'm sure he could score against better defences every now and then (hell Benteke can do that), my main concern is that he won't be able to do so consistently and that is what we really need, as is clear by the number of chances we missed last season.
Never rated him anywayI guess that answers that @RobinLFC
None of them are world class film critics.
If you disagree with Fergie about football, fair enough. If you disagree with Fergie and Wenger about football, that's a bit weird, but okay. If you disagree with Fergie and Wenger and Mourinho about football, you're almost certainly in the wrong.
He will probably now join City or Chelsea.
Thats funny because he never was/is a starter for any of them. Morata is no Welbeck he is a far better player.
Shaw----Van Dijk----Bailly-----Tony
I wouldn't worry about his numbers. The quality of his goals is pretty good. We will likely build the team around him which should help.
He can also play down either wing so that versatility is beneficial.

Shambolic from Liverpool, now backing away with their tail between their legs. I hope Lazio up their asking price for de Vrij knowing what Liverpool were willing to pay for van Dijk.
He proved his big game credentials at Juve, the problem was whether he could be a consistent goalscorer. He hasn't started many games but he has been consistent when he's got the chance this season.
Didn't I see somewhere on the forum that a pool fan was discussing him as if he had signed and where they will be next season. I was listening to talk sport yesterday and some absolute sycophant "transfer market" expert was already gushing on about "he is the key for them and they will win this and that next season".
Missed that but apparently by some of their supporters he is shit now and it would be stupid move anyway
It's a bit weird that there is no exciting name for United at all, Morata or James are definitely not that exciting, Griezmann is gone and Bale is not coming. Now what? What a weird mercato...
Jesus, the prices are going up by another 30% or so this year.
I'm guessing you're very happy with Fellaini and Carrick staying on next season?
