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.
Have we finally got a good set piece taker as well? We can dream.....
I’m not very sure but is your club or stadium based in Lisbon?
Yay ! Be nice to have options in midfield as we were desperate. Just hope we can get a striker on loan too before the window shuts.
Lovely. Now where to camp for the final 2 days of the transfer festival?
Done! Apologies for our ignorance.
Its about time 
Heart says we play him on Saturday. He is match fit. And is better than what we have got. I mean if Lingard or Pereira is in front of him I will go mad.
However head says you throw him on for the last half hour.
Can't see it happening
I appreciate it! It’s just a respect thing you know. In my opinion at least.
Well done Ed
Never knew that. I've ignorantly always referred to the club as Sporting Lisbon. I'll have to break that habit.
Me too. It's literally the first time I've ever heard this pointed out.
Thanks for filling us in - I'll scrap adding the "Lisbon" from now on.
Well, we took the long way to get there but we got there in the end. Welcome to Manchester Mr Fernandes.
Get in lads. Some actual fecking creativity in midfield!
I expect Bruno to have a similar progression at United to Fred in regards to getting used to the pace of the EPL i.e. won't be the best this season or the first couple of months into the next season before we start seeing the best of him. The Euros in the summer doesn't help in that regards. Hopefully fans will be patient (ofcourse they won't, cue no better than Lingard, championship level player, 80M flop etc comments as early as the first of his matchday threads)
Of course but the name of the club is Sporting Clube De Portugal. Benfica for example have Lisbon in there name but no one says Benfica Lisbon. I prefer just Sporting as for the most part that is what is said in Portugal.
ROOSTERS OUT!
At this stage I'm half expecting us to announce Gaitan tomorrow.
Thank you! I don’t even know how the whole Sporting Lisbon thing started to be fair but it is a common misconception about our name.
Remain healthy please
Glad this is done and we can have some sort of attacking creativity as well.
Great work rate either way and a half decent tackler, I think he will contribute more defensivly than most realize.
Best XI imo right now if everyone was fit. 433 / 4231
This is a much better XI than weve used all season, im still skeptical of making top 4 with no Pogba or Rashford but already looking better for me.

Great news.
Yeah agreed, he will benefit from this. I hope he starts well to take some pressure off him.
Most outside of Portugal do for some reason and it is a pet peeve among all Sporting fans as they all hate it.
I usually just say Sporting.
Good shit
Phew...that was close.
I had declared to my family and friends that I would not be watching Manchester United again this season if we did not buy a midfielder.

Brilliant.
Can't wait to see Ole's face tonight when they finally ask him one more time
the poor lad's been getting very frustrated by it all.

Supposed to have a good health record. Keep him away from jones ffs.
English speakers have an innate need to associate sports franchises with cities or neighbourhoods.
Decent price. Most the add ons are if we win league and CL...
Welvome, Bruno! Lets do this!!
The club would be extatic if it comes to that and they have to pay up.
Excellent signing
Thank you guys! It’s like someone not calling you by your name, me and most Sporting fans always felt that it’s a disrespect to the club and it’s history.
Also considering United have done business with us many times I wanted it cleared up with the fans here in the CAF.
I guess but once again Benfica are not called Benfica Lisbon even though that would be more appropriate considering Lisbon is in the clubs name. So if Sport Lisboa e Benfica is called Benfica then Sporting Clube De Portugal should just be called Sporting or the Other shortened version mentioned.
