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 when it comes to transfer fees.
They quoted an overinflated price that we supposedly paid for Memphis than even the PSV president laughed at.
TBH with you, I don't even remember what was the price we paid for Memphis.
But which source to trust about the fees then ? All sources are saying the deal is rising up to 70m pounds. Sky and BBC reported it's 60m+addons to make it reach 70m. I yet to find any other source claiming any higher fees.
And sometimes they are right when others insist they are wrong. I remember a lot of people unhappy when we signed Carrick, claiming we paid too much.
Di Marzio said 80-85 mil euros which lies between 72 and 76 mil.TBH with you, I don't even remember what was the price we paid for Memphis.

Point is you can't fully trust anyone.
Except for the Pogba fee where Juventus themselves released the financial breakdown. Still some journalists claimed a different price.
First, fees are always tend to get overestimated before announcing the deal, as with Pogba when it was always reported to be 120m and ended at 105m alone.
Also, if he's true about it being 80m euro, it still near the quoted price in English media : 70m pound. They key point is English media is reported that 70m pounds as the final fees : initial+adds on = 70m overall but the initial is only 60m. I don't think they're contradicting Di Marzio story that much. Maybe he reported the final fees including the adds on as well.
TBH with you, I don't even remember what was the price we paid for Memphis.
We paid 25m+ pound (included addon) for Memphis. BBC reported it something like 32m pound(supposed to be euro) and never bothered fixing it.
BBC might be the most trustworthy source in England but when it comes to real figure they're just clueless as others.

Thanks for this post. On point.
People are missing the positives about our situation. We are keeping the team intact while gradually adding relevant additions. We were difficult to beat last season. Next season will be the same plus, we'll be banging in more goals.
Even in euro it was still bloody wrongOh, the confusion between how to differentiate between writing Pound and Euro then ?
. Real number might be less than 20m pound because whatever addons that were, we didn't have to pay it after his pisspoor performance at Old Trafford.
I never had a favorite club in Italy, but Roma has now captivated my heart with that video

So the safe option is to never trust anyone ?
Unless United plan to buy both.

I guide my life by that principle.
Vidal has only been with Bayern one season? Unless he's not the player we've all been led to believe, there's no way they are going to let him go.
It's been a few years he's been there?
He joined in 2015, so this'll be his third season.
Seeing all these transfers fee now where every Tom, Dick and Harry cost at least 50 millions, I for once am happy that Sir Alex is not our manager anymore. Otherwise, he will not sign anyone because"there is no value in the market"!!!!
He'd still win titles though.
I largely agree but we have tried with the likes of Martial, Depay, Zaha etc but they dont always work out.
Complete and utter bullshit clickbait rumour in the Sunday mirror saying that we're looking at a £60 million bid for Verratti but PSG want Martial in return. If there was even the slightest hint of truth in that rumour, I'd be thinking long and hard about a deal like that. Genuinely would be torn.
I'd take that deal immediately
Wouldn't even have to think about it. Martial's feet wouldn't even touch the ground on the way out the door.
Well its nice to see but we already knew this
It was speculation about Neymar, but since his was father was seen meeting the Barca management in NY people are waiting to hear the results to give further opinion.
Done danilllio
They are getting better and better. Actually better than some of the footballers being signed.They've been absolutely brilliant this window
Certainly it would. At the end of a 4 or 5 year contract Matic will be worth nothing, in fact long before then he'll be one of those highly paid players that we don't use anymore but are struggling to offload. If there were any suggestion that Spurs would sell Dier for £65 million then paying anywhere near £50m for Matic instead would be lunacy of the highest order!
This is a very good signingg from City at a relative decent price. At worst he will be a decent RB backup, at best he can turn out to be better than Walker. He was higher rated at Porto than Alex Sandro, talent is still there, he needs to play though.
City not messing around.
Just paying what they need. Woody could learn something.

What a boring weekend for tweets ! Considering that most clubs and players are in pre-season I thought we would be in overdrive by now.
