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.
They spent £30m on Alonso last year didn't they.
Maybe United tried to use him as an intermediary? Or it could be a fake story too.
My muppet signing. A midfield of Pogba, Fabinho and Verratti would be a match for any team, including Real.
Verratti will end up at either Barca or Juve. I don't think we are in the running for him at all.
Will either club pay the £100m it take?
Juve are as tight as they come and Barca struggle to balance their books with MSN.
Juventus aren't that tight. Higuain.
Klopp approaching Monaco for Mbappe and being informed that Real, PSG, United and Arsenal are also interested:

If both these teams are getting into the bidding, maybe the price quote for Mbappe is not as high as reported, it will still be high though.
I wonder which side this is referring to. I thought Mendes had a good relationship with United, and especially with Mourinho in charge.
Edit: Got my answer from @JPRouve post.
something isn't right about this mbappe saga,if he is to be sold at €135m as reported,why try to create interest from arsenal and Liverpool...it feels like someone is trying to create a market for him and cause a superclub bidding war(exempting arsenal and Liverpool)...
Juve paid €90m for higuain last year and Barca paid £80m for Neymar 5 years ago so I think they will spend big if necessary.
I think we should attempt to outbid them for verratti, he is that good. Something tells me he might not be interested in us though.
I feel that a lot of clubs have inquired about him, this isn't a case of Monaco trying to drum up interest.
Besides after Madrid sell James they will have €140m and can afford him no problem
I remember when Chelsea crashed out of the Champions-League and Verratti was filmed during the game laughing and pointing the finger at Mourinho. Mourinho won't go for him (IMO), he already has Pogba.
Well, technically they haven't qualified yet.
I think thats wrong. He laughed at the player who scored the goal
That never happened to be fair. The video clearly shows he's pointing at his team mates after PSG scored. A photo taken out of context.
Quote read to me as if its United who have an issue with Mendes
Tbf that was funded by Pogba.
JPRouve mentioned in another post that it's Mbappe and his family who have a problem with Mendes. He wants to sign him up, but his family want nothing to do with Mendes. Makes sense if they want to stay away from him, with Mendes's close ties to Woody, Mourinho and Monaco
Nah, United and Woodward are tight with Mendes.
Yeah they spent a large chunk of the Pogba money on Higuain, but as a whole, they are generally quite tight. I fully expect United to be be easily able to outbid Juve, it all depends on the players preferred destination though.
Barca spent big on Neymar 5 years ago, and like I said if they are to keep MSN on their books, I don't think they will be able to add £100m and £150-200k per week for Verratti, considering they need to add quite a few other players to their squad.
Barca are hurting a lot for money from what I've read in newspapers and stuff. They're trying to increase their stadium size (right?) and then they've had a fair few flops as of recently (Turan, the right back named Vidal or something, and Lucas Silva or whatever from last season).
Not to mention Neymar and Messi both keep edging for new contracts every six months to make more.
Barca will get the player if he wants to go there, but if it's actually down to finances, Juve, Bayern, PSG, Madrid, and City are far more powerful (along with us)

Hope we're in for him - could be the successor to Scholes. Push comes to shove, wouldn't mind United blowing the Griezmann budget + change on Verratti - he can be a bigger presence for the team's overall structure and rhythm of play from the center of the pitch than Antoine. Perfect Kroos/Modrić-esque kapellmeister, and probably the best for the next 7-8 years after Thiago. A fully developed Pogba-Verratti tandem would be monstrous - and European Cup worthy.
As much as it would hurt me, logically speaking a move to Arsenal or Liverpool would be great for Mbappe's progression. He will get to play regularly in a tougher league for a mostly attacking team. Say for example Monaco sell him to Arsenal for 100m and stick a sell on clause for 20%. Then Mbappe himself also requests a clause in his contract saying something like only Madrid/Barcelona can get him for a set price of 100m minimum. Monaco would then be able to fetch a nearly guaranteed 120m+ from both transfers and Mbappe gets to progress before moving to his 'dream' team as a finished article or close to it.
Thats how I would be selling it to Monaco and Mbappe if I was Wenger or Klopp.
No idea about the source but just seen this on my timeline by some Brazilian twitter with 100k followers
BOMBAZAZO exclusive: Fabinho ( AS Monaco) , is new player of Manchester United , 45M €. FICHAJAZO network . #FichajesGO.

Stop it, stop it, I can not take it, what is wrong with us? Why don't we just wait until deadline day???
Hope it is true.
Hope it is true.
Does he have a clause? Why are Monaco selling so cheap when others are asking for a lot more for their players?
Contract running out? Not good enough? Any reason?

A good deal????? it would be a bloody excellent deal in todays markert!
We really should be outbidding these 2 just to see what happens if he's available.
These sources for Fabinho transfer seem crap but I really hope this is on.
If we're getting Fabinho for 40 on top of Lindelöf for 35 then we can safely say Woodward is doing an excellent job
What happened to the City rumours? I'd love it if we nicked him from right under their noses, love it.
EDIT - 10 goals in 48 games for a DM is pretty good going.

Some journo close to city denied that city will go for him. In fact, he seems to be linked to no one at present.
If Verratti has any interest in playing for us I'd hope we would push the boat right out to sign him. Blow the Griezmann budget.... Whatever it takes. His control of the central midfield is something that could lead us to the very top. The only issue is his does he want to play for United?
In todays market, those are excellent prices. The only one player seem to be getting rinsed for is Perisic.... Who incidentally is the one player I was hoping we weren't interested in.
