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.
Anytime a top club does not go for a player there are three most probable reasons:
1. The club is not interested in that player for any of many reasons.
2. The player is not keen on joining the club even if the club is interested in him. This, the club would easily know after the first initial direct or indirect contacts with the player.
3. The employer (the club that has the player under contract) of the player is not at all keen on selling the player to the interested club.
Based on these possible reasons, one cannot simply assume that by not bidding for a player, United never saw the merits of signing such a player. For all we know, Dembele could have made it clear to United reps that he is not at all keen on playing in Manchester.
Well yes...it's one or the other
So the could end up with Dembele and 120 odd mill in the bank... what a travesty
The LFP is looking at United's books as we speak.
Agreed. The number of times people write "if Fergie was still here..." is ridiculous.
SO does this dude play left wing?
It's so on.....again.
I don't remember him being such a big name when we signed him although I suppose it was a lot of money at the time, but certainly not in the same bracket as Dembele , but then again neither was Ronaldo.
The only players I can think of that has a similar status are Hazard and Moura. Definitely not enough form to suggest we would stand a chance with Dembele if Fergie was still in charge.
I could tell that from his body language.
We go again!
LoL
LoL
He's a left footed winger so my guess is his preference is to play on the right wing. He doesn't seem like the type to get to the byline and cross
Ronaldo clearly not happy with the limelight on Neymar! 
No tax issues but I seem to recall he was treated like a slave.
He is teasing again and will stay as usual. Dont fall for it, it is a trap...
That roughly translates to "Madrid better pay up"
Andrei Kanchelskis, Lee Sharpe, Nani. Most of Fergie's tenure, his wide-men were established long term starters, so that area wasnt in need of much attention.
Lee Sharpe was only a baby when we got him.
The subsequent success of them is irrelevant- just as Dembele or Mbappé can flop in Spain.
The likes of Nani, Anderson, Tevez at the time and Ronaldo were all players who were ready to move up and were promising, but not ready to go and become stars at a top club. They needed cultivating. That's what Fergie did.
Isn't Ronaldo's release clause €800m?
Cristiano knows how to charm us, doesn't he? "I'm coming back because the tax scheme in Spain is too difficult. Love you all. xx"
Pretty sure it's one billion.
Here it is lads, Ronaldo to United and Mbappe to replace him at Madrid.
I agree that there future success is irrelevent but none of the players that were signed that have been mention by any of the posters were at the status levels in the game as Dembele. Certainly not beating Barca or Real.
Not this again!
So lads Ronaldo or Bale?
Can ronaldo play lwb in a 352 though?!
We should be fighting for this player. It's never over till it's over. His preference might be Barca, but let Pogba have a word with him first before giving up.
Which is why I said, 'when he was at Rennes'.
