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.
Does it matter for them? I suspect not.
If I was betting, Id strongly fancy him to stay at Spurs for another year despite Kane wanting/hoping to get out.
Swap deals are tricky to pull off and if its cash and Levy wants 120m+ I just cant see it at all.
He is a brilliant striker but there has to be some concern over his annual injuries and whether his body will hold up past 30 - you might only be getting 2 more years of peak Kane.
Also this summer has the Euros so less time to sort anything out.

Basically, probably four teams can afford him.
PSG
United
City
Chelsea
PSG - Levy wants to sell abroad, Kane would link up with Poch and he’d compete for major trophies. But didn’t they just pay stupid money for Icardi.
United - Most likely out of the four to be interested but arguably with more priorities. But Kane is leaving Spurs to compete for major honours. That’s not happening or going to happen at United. Arguement could be made he’d possibly effect that.
City - City spending 100+ mill on a 28 year old doesn’t fit in with what’s gone before. But this is the obvious move if Kane wants trophies etc. They’re looking for a forward.
Chelsea - Levy would never sell Kane to Chelsea and I genuinely don’t think Kane would ever join Chelsea.
Basically Kane isn’t going anywhere..

Amazing De Gea is on 375k,Pogba 290k and Martial on 250k yet we end up having a lower wage bill that the likes of City by 67mil.
Its almost as if the media are guessing.
IIRC we're that low because of non-CL wage drop clauses. This year’s is likely to be considerably higher than that. Perhaps not catching City but I’d wager it clears Liverpool by a distance.
Yeah totally agree with this
Interesting on Sky that they believe Kane already has a club lined up... otherwise it wouldn't have come out that he wants to leave.
If that's true, then I wonder which club it is?
Could it be Utd with us using the Ings situation as a smokescreen?

Most likely City I think
Dont think the media are that meticulous. Id wager this is all their reported signing on wage and new contracts simply added together
With them constantly winnings trophies, then I guess for Kane it would make sense for him to want to go there (as much as it pains me to say that).
Still think City are favourites which I can understand but remember how confident Keano was on Sky Sports a couple of months back about him being in a Utd shirt next season but that was probably because there was doubt of Edi staying
Would have to be one hell of a smokescreen but fear he is indeed City bound
I was convinced RVP and Sanchez was going to City and I’m convinced Kane is too. Hoping this plays out the same way as the other 2 transfers.
England win the Euro's = Kane stays at Tottenham.
"I swear on me pets life I want to leave, Levi" - Kane, 2021
We barely ever do part exchange deals, but we did for Rojo with Nani going on loan.
If we did offer one to keep the price down and still go after other players I'm thinking the only one we could offer that Spurs might take would be Martial + £50 million or something like that
They dont need Lindelof, Fred, James, Van De Beek or anyone else that we could be looking to improve on and would let go.

Think they would maybe be interested in Jesse too looking at his form on loan at West Ham
We can afford Kane and Sancho but can also afford to improve our defence and midfield. If they want upfront cash, we have access to credit at a 0.5% interests rate for instalment payments to cover Kane and Sancho upfronts. We cleared a lot of the instalment payments we spent from 2015 to 2019. Maguire, Bruno, Telles, Amad, Pellistri, James, AWB and VDB were all paid upfront or in 2 instalments.
But I don't think we'll get both because Glazers is not ambtious.

I fecking wish Sanchez had gone to City
Yeah pretty certain it's one or the other for our owners
I still wish RVP stay at Arsenal or go to Barca if it means that we get Lewa. Could help us much during our rough period.
Apart from the Spanish Giants, City is the only other team that Haaland would prefer to go to ahead of us. I think it makes sense for us to get Sancho in and fix the RW issue which has plagued us since CR7 left us. Given how well Sancho would be flourishing at United, with the help of Ole, we could get Haaland to join us assuming Kane ends up at City. Getting Sancho in gives us the ability to strengthen our CB and CDM. I think if we can get Sancho, Varane/ Kounde, and Bissouma, this would be one of our best summer windows in a long long time.
I can't help but think the beef that Roy Keane had with his Dad, will ultimately be the reason that he goes to City instead of us.
Imagine if City sign him, Kane and Grealish?
Everyone else would just give up before a ball is even kicked.

Let City have him. Let's focus on sancho, varane, and a new DM. IF we can get sancho this summer, perhaps our prospect of getting Halaand in 2022 will even be more promising.
Kane -> City
Haaland -> Chelsea
Sancho -> Liverpool
Mbappe -> Real Madrid
Ronaldo -> PSG
Ings -> United
Don’t shoot the messenger.I know nothing

The sum Levy will demand for Kane will be outrageous. If you buy him, you are overpaying in both the fee and the wage package. He has the ability to guarantee you an impressive goal record when healthy, but his ability to stay off the training table been an issue in the past, and those issues typically don't subside the closer you get to 30.
If you throw your hat in the ring for his signature, it will be a summer-long saga over the specifics of the deal, getting his personal terms agreed, arranging the social media/marketing reveal, etc. You will waste time on Kane that could be used to sign multiple players.
I don't think CF is even close to our other holes (CDM & CB), and with the risk of overspending on Kane (thus shrinking your budget for other needs) and getting dragged along by Levy all summer, I'd move on and see to our other business.

Thats a good call
Can't see Liverpool spending enough to get Sancho unless they sell Salah to Real or PSG. Plus, if Mbappe goes to Real I can see PSG going hard for Kane...
Teach who what?
I think there's just too much this time around. It's clear Kane will push to leave now with rumours of a gentleman's agreement with Levy he'd be allowed to move.
Can absolutely see a fuss being made if Spurs are awkward with this.
Doubt PL will be boring.
If anything, PL is about to go to a whole new level of dominance on the European stage. And it won’t only be thanks to City.
Liverpool will probably be back to their best next season.
Chelsea are finally settling in with their new players and they will definitely be a dark horse to win the PL too.
Also - let’s say we don’t sign Kane, then obviously we’ll be filling positions that require immediate attention such as RW, CM & CB and that would make us decent contenders as well.
Let’s also not forget that clubs like Leicester, Everton & West Ham are ready to be a part of the ‘top 6’ and take over from clubs like Spurs & Arsenal.
All these clubs can easily go home with a draw or even a win against any of the top clubs on their good days.
Hence, sure City might become an even bigger powerhouse with Kane but the league will be anything but boring or dominated by the citizens that easily.
They will still have to put up a fight and sure they’ll be favourites to win the league but I doubt it’ll be by big margins. They’ll really have to grind out some wins and avoid injuries to their game changing players.
Yeah I agree with this. Great as it would be to get Kane, now that Canavani has signed up for another year I think it’s more important to improve in other areas.
Think if city sign Kane then we would be a massive chance to sign Haaland next summer. To do that we need a good transfer window this summer to convince him he can win major trophy’s here.
Sign Sancho early and then get a quality CB and Cm. If you build it he will come....
As good as city will be if they sign Kane I’d be more than happy with it if the final outcome was that we got Sancho and Haaland.
While you are at it just add Bruno, VVD, Salah to the list.
So are you in the camp who thinks we need more of a tempo controlling CM rather than a ball winning break the lines with quality passes type CDM because I really cannot decide which would fit us better at the moment. I do agree that if we could end up with Jadon & Haaland then could live with missing out on Kane
You think a player rejecting a professional choice just because of his father's feud would have the proper mindset to play for us?
If all those bonding and him being given a professional career head-start by Ole at Molde isn't enough to wash away his father's feud, then I rate this guy's mentality lower than Tevez and Di Maria.
I would reserve my judgement for next season for the time being. I am simply talking about their goals - finish top 4 comfortably and try to win a trophy.
We need both really as we have neither. Any one of those would be great. Main thing is we don't add limited midfielders like the ones we already have - Fred, Mctominay etc or overly attacking ones like Pogba, Bruno etc . Basically add more passers/playmakers in midfield.
However I don't believe this is a big priority for the management
Yeah I really do wonder what is going on inside the recruitment teams heads to think we don't need both let alone like you said neither which is utterly staggering to say the least
It is extremely unlikely that United sign both. The probability of signing neither is much more higher imo, but one can dream.
No I prob should have said CDM. I think we need both tbh but it’s hard to see us getting two in one window. Think Matic is finished so a CDM is a more immediate need. If Pogba won’t sign a new contract soon then we need to sell him this window in which case we will to sign both a CDM and a CM this window. If we keep Pogba I prefer we get a CDM this window and see how Gardner goes with a preseason with us and another loan or two next season.
I guess it all depends if your a glass half empty or full kind of person. I’m very confident we will sign Sancho this window. Think he is tailor made for us to play both RW and LW. The money we bid for him last year should get the deal done with change left over. Player wants to come and Dortmund want to sell. It gets done.
Haaland I’m not as confident on. Lots of ifs and maybes, and dealing with his agent makes things more difficult. However if city do sign Kane and are therefore out of the picture I think we would be a massive chance. He has good relationship with Ole, he says he wants to go where he is wanted( we already tried to sign him). But we need to be a team capable of winning Prem and CL in order for him to come. In order for that to happen we need a good transfer window this summer and Sancho will be a great way to start it.
Kane to man city - nailed in in my opinion.
He’s 27 so will have 5-6 years there. He’s a pretty good footballer so will fit in. He could end up playing til he’s 35. £120m sounds about right. Drop in the oil ocean for the lads from UAE. More 2nd places to come for Utd. It’s hard to compete with the worlds best manager who has an unlimited budget.
