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.
Cama Winger?
Trippier would never be accounted for as a significant signing.
Haaland incoming
If this 3rd one is Camavinga, then we have had a good summer for the first time since those halcyon days of 2007
Trippier would be good. A midfielder would be more important for the starting XI but I don't think the 'perfect' one has presented itself to us. If Camavinga was open to the move I'm sure we would've been in for him.
When we sold Lukaku we waited to get the right striker in and the same happened when we didn't get Sancho in last year. It looks like that will be the case again.

Carnamidfielder?
Please be a CM... The thought of the McT and Fred sauce is just not getting my taste buds watering really. Plus that Serbian Stew will make my blood boil.
The way people have turned on AWB on here is so weird when he's clearly improved going forwards. I remember when we were first linked to him I said he wasn't much cop going forward but constantly got swamped with "He used to a winger so he's obviously good at attacking" and "It's only because he's at Palace that you don't see his attacking side"......now when he actually has improved loads of fans want to bin him, and not for a player like Hakimi, but for a solid but average 31 year old.
At any rate I'm hoping it's a midfielder, at this point I don't care if it's Saul, Camavinga or Neves, I'll take any of them as I'm fecking sick of the sight of McFred running around like headless chickens in our midfield.

Well, with Jesse Lindgard, McGuire and Edison Cavani already in the team, I’d say Camawinga would fit in nicely.
Sorry, my bad, won’t be doing it again.
Rennes
He was in La Liga's team of the season, that's pretty significant.
I was so confused, for some reason I thought we signed Samuel Luckhurst.
Ole wouldn't play Camavinga ahead of Fred or McTominay, I hope for Neves
Why is everyone acting so confident this is true. Ole himself said further business will be a bonus.
Yeah, I think many people will be surprised to see how much it will improve our play to get a right-back who can attack. I'd argue it will improve us even more than an equally good midfielder would.
The attacking full-back has become an absolute key position in the modern game (just look at Shaw/Spinazolla/Mæhle being arguably the biggest creators for three out of four Euro semi-finalists), and our right-back is way too limited with the ball. People talk of Trippier as a squad signing. He's significantly better than AWB and will be a starter if he comes.
Because this is a transfer forum and is swarming with muppets.
Brilliant reply
Any DM we've been linked with and I'll be confident of atleast a trophy and top 2 finish this season.
Trippier is 30 and if he performed like he did at the euros he wouldnt be starting over AWB and Shaw.
He had a successful season at Atletico, but remember that he played as a midfielder/wingback in half his matches and had 0 goals 6 assists overall.
Shaw had 1 goal and 5 assists from fullback and AWB had 2 goals and 4 assists from fullback, both doing a much better and more extensive job defending than Trippier had to in his system half the time. And one we dont play at United.

Messi
We won't have the money to buy Camaving/Saul/Neves unless Pogba leaves. And we won't have room in the squad for a new midfielder unless Pogba leaves.
The Messi move to PSG means Pogba is going to stay at United for another season. Which in turn means that our final signing will be for less money and in a position other than CM.
All signs point to Trippier.

How is Luckhurst not considered a solid source? He litterally travels with the team as a media member. I'm sure he has some direct relationships and sources as opposed to random twitter accounts that don't even reside in Manchester. I've been listening to his podcast since last year and he hasn't really been wrong on anything. He's pessimistic by nature but when we're close to signing someone he confirm things
You shouldn't really buy into too much everything he said mate. He's a true politician.
Imo it's a midfielder. Probably Camavinga I think.
Hope its Neves
Reckon we’ll save the money and go big on Haaland next year.
Pogba leaves on a free and is replaced by Hannibal with Scotty Mac playing the Declan rice role bossing the DM role, midfield sorted for the long term

because he might improve us a little, whereas a good DM would complete the first team and shore up a weak midfield that could seriously cost us (and probably will as I don’t think we’re buying one).
it’s all about opinions of course and no one knows for sure at this point, but I don’t see that myself.
Hard to imagine we will sign a midfielder unless we suddenly shift a couple out of the door, we may not like the options in the squad but we are not short of bodies and I would imagine the financial side will take the stance that Pereira and at least one other needs to be sold before funds will be released for that area. Trippier is a more sensible signing form that perspective as we have no real cover for the right side and his versatility make him an excellent squad option.
It would be alright if it was bargain basement costs like 14 mil or something but at the 30 mil being quoted no thanks.
I’m not sure those options would cost him his job. They’ll be solid enough to get us to challenge in my opinion if the new additions pan out but of course would prefer another body in there.
It’s gonna be Trippier but if only it was a DM.
I think we might also take a player on loan. Loads of big teams struggling financially and they will be happy for us to pay a big earners wages.
Imo because Trippier is a nice to have. But a quality DM/MC is a must.
Times have changed when people are hoping it's Neves
Definitely Trippier.
Luke Shaw’s wife has been hanging out with Trippier’s Manchester.
We need someone to go straight in and improve
the team, ref fight for the title. Camavinga is a great talent, but I’ll be surprised if he’ll make a significant difference already now. Saul is less risky, but still a risk.
Trippier and Neves are the safest bets, and they will likely have immediate impact on the team.
Dreams come true if we manage to close a deal with both of them. Would eventually be the most crazy window ever

Can't see that happening at all. Unless its with an option to buy, it just isn't something we do very often.
Remember their whole set-up is less than above board, with the quality of the players they bought in with their super agent.
When that agent decides it's time to move I dare say it's all pre-bargained.
Remember Docherty going to Tottenham for about 15m!
