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.
Moronic to keep a player that doesn't want to play for you it can only cause negative vibes in a dressing room.
It's far better than selling your best player to a rival and having the fans turn against you at the start of the season.
Not only him it seems, Ozil and Chamberlain want to jump ship too..
Can we finally show some interest in Draxler? We may be able to sign him at a decent price if PSG get desperate to balance the books.
Wenger also said in his last press conference that Wallcot will be staying this season however it's uncertain whether he will be here the next one.
Arsenal might end up having a baffling squad next year considering they'll have to spend stupid money to replace everyone.
Yes absolutely right. We can't realistically catch up with Real or Bayern in one window and it would not be smart to try. The question is can we win the league. I think we have a chance.
They would've got rid of Walcott by now, but he's on 150k a week which puts potential buyer off.
This happens every year, regardless.
It's pointless keeping Sanchez. This is Arsenal, after all, and if they fail to win anything this year, it'll looking even sillier, come next summer.
They can call the job title anything they like but I think having someone like him around for Lukaku but especially Rashford and Martial could be a huge positive.
How much did they pay for Matuidi? €30m? Juventus always looking out for a deal. He is just 1 year older than Matic, so not a bad deal at all.
Martial and Rashford were both playing much beter before Zlatan arrived at the club and since Zlatan has gone they have picked up their former form back again. I don't think we need Zlatan to help these young players progress.
Also Lukaku has been mighty fine on his own and he doesn't need someone like Zlatan to tell him how to be a striker.
Zlatan is all about Zlatan. And when he can be your star player on the pitch the man has enough confidence and leadership to carry a whole team. But if he needs to play a role from the sidelines, I'am not sure how that ego of his will work out. If he can't be the big guy on the pitch nor the big guy on the side (Mourinho is) than how will Zlatan's ego feel and how long will it take before that starts poisoning the dressing room ? It is one thing being forced to sit on the sideline due to being injurred, it is another matter playing that role when fully fit.
Zlatan thinks himself the king, that is his strenght and kings don't serve, they rule, so a serving job like a coach doesn't strike me as a role for Zlatan.
Can't see they have a choice; they need him to have any hope of finishing in the top four.
Not that it's going to happen anyway; Arsenal are on their way to becoming the new Liverpool.
Guess that's why there are reports we're done for the summer then. Don't think we've done enough tbh.
Maybe - but Chamberlain probably more than anyone else, wanted to win against Leicester. He didnt play like he wanted to jump ship - the same as Suarez did for Liverpool and Ronaldo did for us. I don't have a problem with a player wanting to leave as long as they give everything on the pitch. That is probably why I didn't have a problem with Ronaldo leaving - he didn't whine his way out.
we have a good enough team to win the league- but a brilliant winger would have increased our chances...a lot!
I think it was in reference to caffers slagging him off.
Nope, €20m + some add-ons.
It should be for slightly less than 25
18M I think.
First of all, the idea that Zlatan was the reason Martial and Rashford were playing badly is absurd because Martial's form had already dropped at the Euros. Secondly, He didn't play that much better during his first season; He was just performing better than other players and was being given consistent game time by Van Gaal. Mourinho doesn't tolerate inconsistency and lack of hard work; That's why Martial is finding himself on the bench more often than not, not because he's playing with Zlatan.
Interms of Rashford, he had a good half a season but even then it was pretty clear he's not ready to lead the line for us so we brought in a proven and experienced striker forcing Rashford to play on the wings. He's primarily a CF so it's pretty straight forward he'd become less productive as a LW.
Also, don't you think it's a bit premature to suggest they've picked up their form based on a preseason and one league game?

Wait eh what??? So Zlatan is the reason Martial and Rashford missed all of those chances last season?
Doesn't seem quite fair to me, but hey ho... opinions.
By any chance have you seen any of the interviews with Rashford when he talks about trying to sit at Zlatan's table during meals? Or him describing how the younger players followed him around? Just wondering.
I think he'd have an amazing impact on the team and welcome him back in any way shape or form he can contribute to the team.
He's bang average tbh
Nothing to add to the discussion, but do you by any chance have a link to that Rashford interview? Sounds very interesting
Draxler better than any of our wingers, tbh.
Sounds like you've watched him extensively.
I've see a few games of his. He rarely sets matches on fire and would probably be more frustrating to watch than Martial.
I wouldn't see any point in signing him.
@ValenciasDrilledCrosses no worries. here's a few articles below
i know it's all Rashford. Martial doesn't usually talk so much or do a lot of interviews.

Rashford talks gushingly about what he has gleaned from Ibrahimovic. “You will see the benefits in years to come,” he said. “What I have learnt from him is irreplaceable.”

The first thing I can tell you is that his table for breakfast and for meals he is surrounded by the young ones, the kids,” Mourinho was quoted as saying by the Independent. “Luke Shaw, Marcus Rashford, these are the guys who are with him at the table. He knows what he can be for them.”

'Playing as a lone striker is a bit different because you are on your own and obviously it depends on what centre-halves you are up against and what their skills and their characteristics are. But Zlatan has been a big help,' Rashford told Sky Sports.
'He has spoken to us a lot about things he has come up against in the past and you have to listen because he has been there, he has done it and he has won a lot of trophies and that is what we all want to do.

Think he may talk about him in this interview as well but I dont' have the time right now to go through it again

In fairness he's not kicked up a stink and looked to down-tools so i dont blame Wenger for this. With him they may get top 4, without i dont think they've a chance so well worth keeping him in the ranks in my view.
Cheers! Thank you so much for finding them
