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.
Monaco says just a knock on the knee, no tear, so doesn't look that serious.
Nah. I saw the game and he was running around fine after he got the knee banged up. He later took another foul and it looked more like he was withdrawn to protect him. He looked like he wanted to come out, and the team also wanted to get him out. Our take on it is that he will definitely be sold soon.
Does anyone else not really care about 'tapping up'?
Don't get me wrong, when of your own teams players heads get turned, it's frustrating, but I don't really see how or why it is against the rules.
In any other line of work anyone can approach you and see if you'd like to work for them, you could have job interviews and everything.
Ultimately the player has a contract and unless it's winding down (in which case a sale is likely, though not guaranteed) , they'll have no choice but to fall back in line or risk being left out in the cold.
I just don't get the furore around it at all.
Of course the hypocrisy of Barca is hilarious though.

Why do people want us to be like Arsenal and to go after players we have no hope in getting?
I would think it's more due to unsettling of players minds to gain an unfair advantage. I do however think it's going on all the time to a certain extent. Instead of the player, clubs tap up agents or give exclusives to reporters.
Yeah I understand that, but isn't that just life?
If he's professional he'll get on with his job anyway, and as you say he'll know about interest anyway, so the rules don't really solve anything.
Sad!
Lol if they pull this off it's a real coup not to mention a slap in the face for everyone who laughed at them for Neymar.
'I come to Beshiktaas'
Al-Khelaifi
“We will work with Uefa and meet Financial Fair Play,”
“I have a very good team, and if you are thinking about FFP, go and have a coffee and don’t worry, we are in good hands.”
I don't know Ingo Martinez at all. What's his position?
A central defender. He scored an own goal at OT back in the time when we played Sociedad in the Moyes era.
"We will work with UEFA to find a brown envelope sufficiently large enough to satisfy them"
For all the stick that Qatar gets over financial doping and stuff, I think Al-Khelaifi for his part is a good owner who genuinely loves the club and wants to do his best to get them to the top. Not to mention that he is always incredibly civil to everyone publicly, unlike the likes of Rumminegge or Perez or Barca presidents who often run their mouths. Fair fecks.
We we already know your "working with FIFA" which is why you and City are being allowed to cheat the system
If only Al-Khelifi took over united instead of PSG and the stingy Glazers sold the club to QIA "Qatar investment authority" when they offered 2.2 b $. United could have grown into an unstoppable team and we could have seen wonders every transfer market. But our destiny is bound to the stingy Glazers I guess.
I don't think bribes are even necessary, not when you have saleable assets like Lucas, Di Maria and Maquinos. Neymar puts a hole in their FFP by what amount exactly? Given that they hadn't spent a huge amount I guess it could be by about €100m which they can easily cover through genuine player sales in this market.
Not sure if serious.
United
2014/15 - £166m
2015/16 - £132m
2016/17 - £157m
2017/18 - £139m (ongoing)
Total - £594m
PSG
2014/15 - £42m
2015/16 - £98m
2016/17 - £122m
2017/18 - £202m (ongoing)
Total - £464m
Hate being reminded about how much we've spent. We really should have a significantly better team for that money.
Riyad Mahrez still wants to leave Leicester City but he will "continue to give his best for the club" until they accept an offer
Mahrez interested in speaking to Roma at right time: "They're great club who I'd like to talk to. I can’t until Leicester accept a deal"
Yesterday AS Roma offered € 35 mln according to DiMarzio..

According to french journos who are close to the FFF, LFP and ECA, both Rummenigge and Perez like Al Khelaifi, they allegedly think that he is competent and they like the fact that he is a straight shooter behind the scene.
Because Aguero is 29 and will probably be done in 3 or 4 years time. If Iheanacho cuts it up at Leicester then they have got a ready made replacement for £50m. If he doesn't they look elsewhere.
Corrected.... It's an outrageous what a small team we are.....
Might go for Mharez now if he really is off
Yeah. He is also very good with his head.
Policeman taps his shadesYou guys really like saying bizarre
It's a bit.... bizarre.
Ohhhhh now I get it, that is fun!
Is that a Chevy '69?
Emre Mor to Inter is close. 2 million loan deal plus option to buy for 10 million.

The difference being that PSG owners have actually skeletons in their closets, so they can pay for Neymar.
Yeah, when you have bribed, money-laundered and killed workers to host a World Cup, FFP is like getting a parking ticket.
I´m Liverpool I´d just wait and offer 25M for Christensen, once VVD completes the move to Chelsea.
Is he really going to get more games there? Maybe Perisic is on his way!
Southampton should ask for 30m plus Christensen for VvD. Would be an insane deal.
Not sure whether this is posted.
ParisUnited called Sky sports fake when they reported ManUtd won't sign Aurier.

Who the hell are ParisUnited6? Sounds like a Twitter account some 18 year old French Utd supporter would make.
Sounds dubious but they've been spot on with every PSG transfer recently. Must be somebody with close connections somewhere. They're the only ones that reported strongly about Aurier also, so we shall see.
Thanks.
