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.
Not included again today. But he's clearly not leaving
Happens all the time that. The fact they rejected that insane bid surely means he isn't leaving now. He isn't worth half that.
He's not worth anywhere near what they offered. Most of the Liverpool fans I know would of sold him after Barca bid for the second time. But I still think they would accept if they up the bid again.
Would make sense for Liverpool to bring someone in before they sell so they don't over pay.
There were rumors arsenal will go vvd.Before Wenger gets sacked he's going to completely destroy Arsenal
Some reasonably priced player's to be had from PSG..
Then they should sign VVD first and then consider selling Mustafi. There's 4 days left in the window, there's no guarantee that they'll pull off the VVD deal considering how Soton are sticking to their guns and that Chelsea and Liverpool seem to be in for him too.
Also, they just sold Gabriel couple of weeks ago. For a team that plays with 3-4-3 which requires 3 CBs they are left with only 4 currently (Koscielny, Holding, Mertesacker, Mustafi), maybe 5 if you add Kolasinac who's actually a LB/LWB. If they want to trim the squad they should start with some of the 4 RBs they have (Chambers, Jenkinson, Debuchy, Bellerin) that never play, not the CBs.
It's just terrible management from Wenger, but nothing less than we've come to expect over the last 6-7 years.

I thought FFP only bans clubs AFTER they break the rules, are they allowed to stop transfers?
Who's to say PSG can't find a toilet sponsor for 155m?
You know , it's arsenal and Wenger. May be they need the money to go big.
Uefa: I'm afraid signing Mbappe will breach financial fair play rules. We can't sanction the deal.
PSG: no, no, we insist we sign him
Uefa: Oh, okay then
Nah they probably know they'd be in breach of FFP and don't want to risk losing out on Champions league etc.
Sounds like he's covering himself a bit after saying it would be wrapped up in 48hrs. Still hope Mbappé stays.
That's what I thought as well.
...Because we all know the popularity of those luxury Qatari toilet seats.
Exactly, if they really wanted to, they could even get Qatar Kitchen Supplies to become United's official cutlery supplier for 400m, and we can buy their tea lady for 200m.That's what I thought as well.
...Because we all know the popularity of those luxury Qatari toilet seats.
Agreement reached between the #Monaco #PSG around 180 million euros bonus for Kylian #Mbappé. 5-year contract for Mbappe.
RMC and Bouhafsi are as good as it gets when it comes to French football IMO. It's done.
Disgusting amount of money for a teenager, the pressure that kid will be on. I'm not surprised Monaco have accepted it. All the promise in the world but he is still raw and not the finished article. He may never reach his supposed heights.
The transfer fee virtually guarantees he will never be perceived as reaching his full potential and will be labelled a flop at some point.
Probably no risk for the Qatari owners though. If he flops it's like losing a penny down the sofa.
Why would Mbappe stay in the French league if he's going to move?
Wasting his career stuck in the French league. He's bottled it and taken the easy route I think. Why not stay at Monaco and get your move to Madrid and really challenge yourself? He'll never be the best player in the world now.
He's originally from Paris and is a PSG fan.
So €400m spent on two players? You got to genuinely fear for the future of the game. Those sugar daddies are killing the game. I hate this money is no object approach adapted by these rich Arabs.
I will take money to ruin the game over those 2 stamping on other clubs necks by tapping classless player just because they exist, coming with statements like " we will see if X player is born to play for us"
The only 2 ways he can now ever leave France and stand a realistic chance of claiming the Ballon D'Or are -
1. He flops badly and some mid table team with decent resources buys him where he becomes successful to be captured by a big club
2. RM/Barca/Us/City/Chelsea pay 350m or more to buy him
He'll never be the best player in the world because he took a gigantic pay increase to play in Paris alongside Neymar? Odd reasoning.
It's unlikely they would go every summer spending similar sum on 2 players and having substitute bench full of dream team players. Look at Madrid in 2009 summer. That was crazy sum in one window. In the end, Madrid eased out with less and less expensive signings over time while those initially investment bear fruits; while the transfer fee they paid eventually became bargain.
Not as much pressure as if he were going to Real Madrid.
Real Madrid could argue they bring in enough figures to justify spending large sums. PSG aren't even that big to claim the could do the same.
3. He runs down his contract an leaves for free.
