Of course there has. Bit difficult to praise him nowadays, but Wiley's easily one of the greatest rappers of this millenium.

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.

Not sure he was a good rapper, Kano was always clear, but he certainly pushed the UK grime scene to the mainstream.
Hard to judge for me as a non native speaker but in any case Wiley is also an amazing producer
We are already using hungry youngsters in front of him. But he has still be in 4 of the last 5 match day squads so he's not completely surplus to requirements at this point. The club can easily afford to keep him, so there's no desperation to give him away for nothing, no matter how much you want to see the back of him.
You said it yourself. The club is not desperate for money, so there's no need to do anyone else a favour and give him away for nothing.
Rojo and Pereira situations were different.
Won't derail the thread further, but agreed
It's not a favour is it. If we loan him we save all his wages.
Not loaning him out is basically the same as loaning him ourselves. The idea we'd loan a player like Lingard for the cost of his wages in case he might play an odd game would be ludicrous.
But what are we saving on his wages for? Him staying or leaving does not and will not affect our future spending in any way.
As I said in my OP, if this move was blocking a new arrival then fair enough, I would also be annoyed.
Anyone else not a have problem with this? Lingard is (depressingly) our most valuable sellable asset, and if we were any other club other than 'gives away players for free' United, no one would bat an eye. Newcastle just paid 30m for Chris f*cking Wood. They proport to be the richest club in the land, and will do anything to survive relegation.
Okay cool, 15m sounds rather reasonable to me. Hell, make it 20m.
Shows the market maybe our clown show has left with the clown in chief, and we're a real football club again.

As much as I want us to sell him, I have to admit that is funny
They’re offering 2.5m and paying his wages. Absolutely nothing wrong with asking for a bonus if he keeps them up which earns them 120m. Granted 12.5m is crazy but I’m sure an agreement will be found. It’s called a negotiation. All parties want it to happen.
I think its a bit silly. We have to give him away in six months anyway. Bank the money they're offering and let him go.
We're Man Utd. When we sell players its usually because they've failed. Its rare for us to get good prices for them.
If we paid our players less this might be addressed a bit. But such is life.
I think the club is trying to show its not a pushover but they've chosen the wrong battle, again. We look like pretenders rather than serious people.
Feel a bit sorry for Lingard b/c he deserves to go find playing time after effectively being misled by OGS. That said, completely agree with the club’s stance here. We are under no financial pressure to sell as we lose him on a free in 6 months anyway. If NUFC want him so badly then pay through the nose then. At this point I’d take him over Dele any day (who is clearly in a free fall) if I needed an AM to secure PL next season.
Agreed, I don't really care about our position on this.
Martial is already out, likely DVB probably goes out as well, he can be part of the squad if they don't want to pay for him. They're paying feck all for a player of his quality.
About time we started squeezing some balls.
Take newcastle to the fecking cleaners and show lingard who's boss.

Just seems odd to me that a player who’s barely played for us at all this season and who may be loaned out in the next few days would take a week off right now.
It might be the only chance he gets if it’s straight into a relegation battle
He can fly back if needed, his agent will handle everything
Why are there 2 Jesse Lingard transfer threads?
The only clown is your post. What world does it live in to think we’d get 15m-20m on a player who’s free in 6 months. Newcastle may be rich and desperate but they’re not stupid. They will move onto a different target. Take the 5m or whatever it is on offer and move on
People can’t make up their mindsWhy are there 2 Jesse Lingard transfer threads?
We'll see. I think Newcastle are very desperate, when you consider what relegation means to their 'project'. There aren't a huge number of proven premier league attacking forwards that would either choose to go there right now or be made available by clubs with their own ambitions at this stage of the season.
Sure, Newcastle can spend 15m on a player from outside the league, but will the acclimatise in a few weeks? No club near Newcastle are going to sell players to them (Burnley aside apparently). The big six have their own demands, and lots of games coming up.
For the sake of 5m, I'm happy for us to try and show we're not the mugs this time around. Newcastle want him, they can afford him. So pony up.
Great bonus. Survival to them is worth more than a loan fee to us. You've got money, pay if you want him. Or take the risk you'll stay up without him.
Your big issue here is you are comparing a 4/5 month loan fee against a permanent acquisition. In 4 months, they still have an asset with Wood, they do not with Lingard, it's that simple
Why are there 2 Jesse Lingard transfer threads?
One for his Insta and one for Twitter
This is perfectly reasonable from United.
Why would he not? There's no one at Man Utd to train with. While in Dubai he's actually training with other players.
Isn't the asset Premier League status?
Why does something David Moyes said keep being brought up as evidence of anything? It certainly doesn't prove that Solskjaer told Lingard he would be getting loads of games this season.
Solskjaer didn't deal with transfers at United so no idea why Moyes was phoning him up. Plus what else would Solskjaer say to the potential buyer of the player he wanted to sell? Of course he would say he wanted to keep him, does it make sense to tell them you want to sell?
Barely played for a calendar year and then loaned out for 6 months, so obviously Ole wasn't looking to make him central to his plans.
They go and get Ali on loan instead, whilst we continue to pay for a now very unhappy player to sit on our bench. I hope there’s a compromise because that suits nobody
Jones would never have agreed to leave last summer he's sitting on another 2-3 years of his current deal getting a guaranteed salary he won't get elsewhere.
And it would have made zero sense to let Bailly leave for free last summer also. He's a decent 4th choice CB (when fit) and some club somewhere would pay some sort of fee for him.
£50m?!
Now I can see how we ended up getting taken to the cleaners for Fred and Wan-Bissaka.
Can somebody just feck this idiot out of the club asap.

This is the crux of our problems in the transfer market, we are rubbish at gauging prices both for buying and selling
I can see 6m + waves being agreed upon.
Rangnick is only an interim
