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 thought on the whole he was bang average for us, he had a couple of good games but that was about it.
Do you not actually remember how he was for us? Barely avaliable and more often than not completely average. Games would just happen around him most of the time.
Yeah, been watching him at the Euros wondering where did this guy come from? He's been much better than I remember at United.
He's performed a lot more like the player I expected him to be for us, sadly. Just didn't work out.
He wasn’t fit and it was well documented as a squad player he was a perfect signing for wages and transfer Fee.
Ah the good green light from the player before approaching the club, just as things should be
He wasn't fit, so he wasn't a perfect signing? He was brought in to plug the hole left by all our injured players, and was barely available. It might have been just unfortunate timing, but he was a very average bit of business for us.

This isn't a surprise given Kia's involvement in this deal.

£13m on a £33m player is ridiculous.
He just played in a Champions league Final and been one of Dortmund’s MVP, he was great for Austria too and as a fan who went to Wembley last year when we won the Caribo cup, Sabitzer came on for the last 20-25 minutes and was great, his high energy was something we missed massively this season, I’m not saying he was a world beater but for €15m he was a steal as a squad player and would be again this season where budget is incredibly tight?
We knew this already, it’s absolutely ridiculous but it’s no surprise. It’s also no surprise it’s Luckhurst rushing to report the agents fees lumped in with the release clause, I’m sure it’ll raise even further when we find out what wages he’s on and that’ll get thrown into the overall package as well, like every other Utd signing.
This is Kia Joorabchain we are talking about...he was pimping Teves/Mascherano all those years ago and it seems a leopard never changes its spots!
Wasnt this reported already as the fees Kia J was charging Milan because of the bad blood between them? And would be less for anyone else?
If not then sod that plan.
I hope a day comes when paying an agent is the players responsibilty and not clubs.
I’m sure we’re banking on the overall cost of £46 mil being good business. If there was no release clause I’m sure we’d be negotiating for a fee north of £50 mil anyway
That's definitely why Kia put in a reasonable clause in the player's contract, so he could bank on the fee for himself and his agency.
I thought we negotiated it down a bit though. A lot of the rumors from the past week were about how we reached an agreement with the agent. The maximum was 12m previously (not sure why it's 13m now) but I assume we brought that down a touch. We'll probably still pay a pretty hefty commission (10m is a number that I pulled out of my ass)
If he kicked up a fuss a month ago we might have gotten both. Too late and the signing is dead in the water now.We want both de ligt and branthwaite…
I believe 13m was the original fee but supposedly he was willing to negotiate that with United to keep friendly with them
Wow,that reads as a shtshow,hopefully we can act quickly and with clarity from now on and be a fully functional club.
Yeah to be expected from that cnut. Would love the club to just permanently ban him for being a constant negative energy around everything the club does.
I’m de-lighted.
I just think that money went towards Mount to be honest. Or it didn't come because we kept McTominay.
We'll gamble on a better season for Mount, another year of McTominay and Mainoo taking that position most weeks. Which is fair enough. Timing just didn't work out for him but he was good while he was here.
we should have kept Angel…
How does he still has transfer veto is beyond me.
The only story that really bugs me is the Stefan Bajetic one. Asking someone to feck over the club their at, for the sake of 150k, seems a rotten way of doing business. I'm glad that guy is no longer here. Other than that, they're all a bit hindsight being 20/20.
Asking that of someone who used to play at the club their child is at too...Madness.
and was a current employee!
I couldn't ask for another ( Groove is in the Heart )
Definitely. Also hopefully paying the 13 mil means we won’t have to have something similar in place
Watch how they quote this but not the 40m on Halaand.

EXCL: Manchester United ist really pushing for Dan #Ndoye. There has been contact with Bologna, which is calling a transfer fee of 25 million euros. The trail to Inter Milan is not hot. Basel has a 25 % share in the resale.

If he had a good start and bang a few goals, he wil ask for new contract. Should stay clear from that moron.
