I wonder if Roy Keane would be willing to pay atleast £100k for Dong.

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 don't have access to the game, how have we been playing so far?
Good stuff
Get this joke cup out of the way so we can focus on the treble

Throw the lad Campbell on
i think he could be the boy
Certainly the Scots and French, not sure about the rest. Didn't the French start there second cup within the last 10 years or so? I recall them starting it recently.
Avram working his magic! Kalou makes it 2-0 at Hull.
anderson has looked good apparently.
Sounds like Giggs is costing us another game. He's been invisible in the first half.
did we not pay a million for him????
we have played complete and utter dong
Wouldn't mind seeing Dong replaced by Campbell and perhaps Carrick coming on as well.
This cup is nothing for me, its just a good chance for the youngster to have games cause they probably wont play a lot in the whole season.
this is the chance for the young guns to show what they can do and who is capable to stay on the first team
this feels just like southend
Nah, we should extent the sales to Asia. They'll buy him for a higher price. Although I'm not sure if many clubs will buy him.
Clearly we'll be lucky to get 10 or even 5% of that. From the sounds of it, he is rubbishHe looks like he's huge potential sp feck Dong and throw on Campbell FFS
carrick over the top to campbell might be an option he's quick at least
Campbell looks to be coming on for Dong.
Believe it was 500k plus add-ons up to 2.5m.
for those who are interested we are playing awful and can barely string 2 passes together by the end of the half.
Coventry have had 3 clear chances, other than the goal, and the post has already saved us.
Anderson started brightly but then faded, Nani and Martin have caused problems but with one striker on the pitch, in the shape of Dong, we have never looked like scoring and cant seem to retain posession.
The only option is to bring on Carrick and Campbell, inject a bit of pace and creativity.

Forget it. It's no fun just hearing. I'm off lads, I'll be watching the Chelsea game!
Hope so.
yeah bring Carrick on too please
great minds and all that
Enjoy supporting the chavs, think they are up 3-0.
2.5 million?!?
if the add ons are appearance fees i definately hope we go out tonight
There are some big time supporters in here.
This one, and the guy who found out Saha wasn't playing and decided he couldn't be bothered to support today as a result.
We should bring in a real striker. Our forward line is a laughing stock.
Micheal Mifsud proved once again that he is truly a good striker.

Seems Dong, Eagles, Martin and the defenders have been shite.
Anderson has been a bright spot.
What a pointless competition. Although this season it is important that we progress so that our huge squad of youngsters can get games. Last season I was almost happy when we went out to Southend.

Man Utd sign Dong
Sir Alex Ferguson will have to wait before seeing Dong in action
Manchester United have completed the signing of teenage Chinese striker Dong Fangzhou from Dalian Shide.
But because the youngster does not qualify for a UK work permit, he will begin his United career next season at Belgian feeder club Royal Antwerp.
United will pay £500,000 for the 18-year-old - which could rise to £3.5m depending on appearances.
If Dong is a success, United would benefit from an explosion of interest in the world's most populous country.
But he faces several hurdles before he becomes an Old Trafford regular.
He could either apply for a Belgian passport - which would allow him to play in England - or have played in 75% of China's international matches during the next two years to qualify for a work permit.
Under the terms of the deal, United are reported to be sending two or three coaches to work with Dalian Shide's development squad.
Dong, who was also linked with Real Madrid and Inter Milan, emerged as the cream of a crop of youngsters sent by China's top clubs to England for trials in August.

Dong is so shite that the ball doesn't want to touch his foot.
Sidewall scored
feck is he still alive?
Josmer Altidore of the US (currently playing for NY Red Bull) would be worth a trial.
Wheres Richardson when you need him ?
