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 can't see that article as it's behind a paywall. Is it saying six Chelsea players have Covid?
Malang Sarr signs officially on a 5 year deal, going on loan this season. Personally I found this stat interesting:
Just missing the one from the set now!
'There are six players who are understood to have the virus and a further two who are quarantining because of close contact with those affected. Telegraph Sport is not naming which six have the virus.'

Yes
Interesting, thanks. Totally different from what I've heard.
Strange that they're keeping it secret this time when we went public when CHO had it.
You didn't originally...
I took your word because it was just the Daily Mail reporting, but now it is the Telegraph and a few others too!
No, neither had Sarr at the time that was tweeted. It's why you can see a target emoji next to their names.
Yeah, a bit premature from me. Still looks all but done at this point.
I think i’m ready, if Chelsea want I’m available for only 1 million/year
Snapped Sarr for free!! Looks like a decent talent.
They just let a 33-year-old Willian go for nothing. Why would they spend so much on a 37-year-old?
Are Chelsea just buying a player every day? Who's next? Pascal Chimbonda?
I’m old now but good, In the 90’s with a bit of luck and in other circumstances I could have signed for Cesena (italian serie b/c)
Basically Chelsea's transfer window
Was and is Drogba a rastafarian?
Surely they have to jettison some of that squad. There must be over 35 first-teamers not including Havertz and Sarr? I don't have an ounce of sympathy for Drinkwater who followed the money and paid the price. Should have stayed at Leicester.
He used to cross himself sometimes after scoring but that could be a number of Jesus-flavoured religions I guess.
I don't remember him ever mentioning his religion in any interviews.
We'll send a ton out on loan as usual. Window does not close for a while.
Two less words and no emoji away from the most insightful post you've ever made!
Keep coming up with more dumb stuff, not surprising. Now any moment we will see City fans saying how great City owners are for giving away few free stuff.
ManUtd did all that, barely anyone praised Glazers, instead praised club. Chelsea fans desperation to praise Roman is hilarious.
To be fair, it’s just a random Chelsea fan on Twitter saying they are proud, not widespread media coverage. And United got plenty of good coverage during the lockdown for similar acts. I don’t think there’s anything contentious here.
Wow I've hit a nerve *yikes*
Yeah Manutd got good coverage, not Glazers. That's the point im making. These Chelsea fans are desperate to paint Roman as some sort of saint.

Yeah, but modern Chelsea are synonymous with Roman, and their success is tied to him. In comparison, United are weighed down by the Glazers and they take out of the club as opposed to contributing. In that context, it’s understandable that we don’t see similar Tweets from United fans praising our owners.
Yeah, that's why I said next we will see tweets on how great City owners are when and when Newcastle take over is completed, we will see how great MBS is.
Chelsea did really well though in the tough times, they deserve credit for that unlike clubs like Spurs, Liverpool and Arsenal who tried to take advantage of the situation.
Sarr is going on loan to Leverkusen. But yes there would have to be outgoings you would think. Dont know the Chelsea squad so well. Is Barkley wanted? Giroud? Dont know.
Have to admire their transfer business, players they have targeted and the speed in which they have reacted.
:eyebrows:

I was amazed by the Sarr deal. To be honest, I had never heard of the guy's name before, but how can a club convince a "fairly established" player to sign for free when the sole purpose of signing him is to loan him out immediately?
Buy a player for free, have his wages paid by someone else, and then sell the player for a huge profit in a few years time. That's like minting money in your board room.
Mindboggling.

They are one GK away from an excellent window (assuming Havertz is done). Not sure if they can challenge for title but top 4 (and 3rd place if we don't sign anyone) should be guaranteed for them.
Hiyech, Werner, Havertz, Chilwell, Sarr, Silva.
Feck me, they're in FIFA mode. Good on them.

If anyone is going to trouble the top 2 from the chasing pack it will be them but I still think they will be 3rd at best come May.
Right now I think Liverpool will retain the title but if City land Messi then I'd go for them to win it back.
Chelsea 3rd and United, Spurs, Arsenal, Leicester and Wolves going for 4th. However if Woodward comes through with a big signing or two then we may still have a chance at 3rd too.
