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.
How much would de Ligt cost? I'm not completely sold on him but if a move for him is smoother and cheaper than Branthwaite, it's probably the move to make.
Tweet above says we'd expect to pay €50m.
I love Martinez but I’m not sure we can have full faith in him being fit for the full season. Isn’t Branthwaite left footed? Ideally we sell Lindelof and buy a right footed centre back aswell.
De Ligt has failed at Juve and Bayern, there's no reason to consider him.
This Branthwaite must be good if we're going to sign three players if we can't get him.
I don't consider Martínez to be an injury prone player, not yet at least. I'm cautiously optimistic about the restructuring of the medical department under Ineos as well.
Think you’ve made a bit of a boob here
Windup in the bosom department, oui?
We're being linked with him because he's a former Ten Hag player that's it. Thank feck we're taking recruitment control away from him.
Why is every post from you so incredibly miserable? How do you cope
I think they need a hug
It's called telling it like it is. The club needs to give me reasons not to be cynical.Why is every post from you so incredibly miserable? How do you cope
You can keep telling yourself that but in fact you're relentlessly negative
Well we just beat City, won the cup, have a new footballing structure, investment in Carrington, planned development of Old Trafford, Glazers relegated from footballing decisions, Wilcox/Berada/Ashworth, exciting young players like Mainoo/Garnacho/Hojlund, a treble winning u18 squad..
Plenty to be optimistic about but you seem to want to look for negatives at each opportunity. Try and be more optimistic. You’ll feel better for it!
I'll be relentlessly positive when the club starts going in the right direction! The Carrington refurbishment is a good start to be fair.
Link seems busted
EDIT: Except in my reply... Weirdly.
I clicked on it and it didn't work
Don't think he's ready for the PL but he'll be great in the cups
I hope that we don't go near the 70 mark. It's about time that we didn't get spanked by other clubs
Contrary to popular opinion, Maguire also has good qualities in possession and is able to play in a high defensive line. We were one of the highest defensive lines in the Premier League in Ole's two full seasons, when Maguire was the first name on the team sheet. In comparison, Varane and Martínez were always one of the lowest in 2022/23.
Mind you, I'd take de Ligt if the 42m price tag is true, but he isn't worth it at 60+ for me.
Hard pass on De Ligt, Juve and Bayern don't generally sell their best players, especially ones as young. The fact that Juve were happy to get rid after just a coupe of seasons, and now Bayern likewise, should tell you all you need to know.
If it's a loan then fair enough, but nothing more.

First journalist I've seen that has said we want both Branthwaite and Yoro.
Yeah I found that interesting.
55 for Branthwaite is more than reasonable compromise. Anything above it, is simply over paying. I'll be annoyed if we actually get De Ligt, he's injury prone as feck and he's on insane wages.
42 mil in eur? That’s worth to considering I think. My impression about him from not many games I saw is his softness and slowness, especially in defending the box. He probably can only play a squad role. Then, his high wage (I assume) doesn’t make the idea great.
Juve we're in a very bad place financially back then, they needed the cash.
He's also one of Bayern's few sellable assets so it makes sense for them at the moment.
Branthwaite is a good player but I would not go over 50m for it's absolutely mental. I wouldn't mind us walking away from that one if the price goes silly
Glad we're already bidding and getting the process going instead of it seemingly taking ages for us to reach that stage.
Ornstein reported that the club view Yoro as an independent transfer regardless of any other moves, a special case because of his potential and availability.
Dammn I didn’t get it the first time. Well done.
De Light £42m amortised for 5 years and he’s ok €260k per week so he’d want £10m per year wages and then £8.25m to buy him that’s combined on book at £18.25-18.5m. Branthwaite would cost £160k per week or £8.3m annually wages and £60m over 5 years is £12m cost in instalments so in real terms Branthwaite doesn’t cost much more.
Bayern fans think he's their best CB and is only being sold because of his wages. He won Serie A in his first season at Juve and won the Bundesliga title with Bayern in his first season as well.
Who are we linked too at CB with a CV like this?
I'd take a crack at De Ligt, still young about to enter his prime and has european experience. Even if he doesn't reach his highs you know you'll get someone solid and has experienced it all. I'd try offering 30M Euros plus 5-10M in add-ons and see if Bayern are open to it. I don't know about Juve, but it sounds like some Bayern fans are mad that they're trying to get rid of him so I don't think he's that bad. We need one CB who's actually in his prime or about to enter it. Youth is great but we need guys who are actually ready to win now
I dont care about what he has done at Bayern and Juve. For a 24 year old with the talent level of De Ligt available for €50m, you'd be mad to not go in. Plus he's a RCB which is the core CB position hole we need to fill urgently. I say we do the deal.
Problem is he's on 250k/week, we don't need another very high earner with question marks over him
Loan with an obligation to buy once he hits various markers would be the best option for all.
50m Euros, which is around 42m GBP, this is according to Florian Plettenberg on Twitter
