In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.

I reckon all that noise is coming from Raiola.
I always thought that you were dumb.
If Mkhitaryan is really the key to this deal, I can see it being problematic. He's probably on a pretty good contract right now and Arsenal may not want to match the money we're currently paying him.
He may very well chose to remain here and just collect.

Come on we all want him to feck off. It's Sanchez vs Mkhi, try to be logic.
Best cult in the world.What a strange bunch, we United fans are
Like a psycho cult or something.
There's not a chance this collapses at this point.
Can some of you calm down, the deal will get done in time. I think some of you need to take time out of this thread as well in my opinion.

Big mouth Raiola loves these transfer sagas
Jame Jackson's tweet Reeks of agent/player PR. It's all about mkhi "making his own decision" in the tweet.
I think the last thing Mkhi wants and Raiola obvious agrees as he is the agent, is that he would turn up to arsenal and be seen as the "second tier goods".
The narrative being set by Raiola via Jackson and other is that mkhi can stay......but he chose arsenal
Either way this is effectively the end of his career at United
I want him to leave, but it's his decision. I'm not going to hurl abuse if he doesn't want to.
Josétown.
Mino Raiola, known for getting his players amazing deals, looks to be putting pressure on United to give the 28 year old a pay off which would make up for the shortfall in wages he’d have to take if he joined the Gunners.

Besides we were not part of the scene back then. He could well prefer United's offer now that we've made an offer. And if he really really wanted a move to City why would be even agree to a move to us? If it's money then he didnt want the city move much to begin with.
Either way I don't see that view as irrational. Just interesting how City appear to have a lot of sympathy and goodwill from the media.
Agreed, helped us win the EL last season. Fans need to have some class, stop being cnuts.
right, never has a deal collapsed at the last moment
We'll just pay him the difference in contracts if it comes to it. I doubt we'd let this deal slip over £10m or so.
Sure - we’ll all chat about his incredible contribution instead.
The emperor with no clothes!
Oh look another short term memory loss what have you done for me lately fan
This is a good take on it. Wouldn't be surprised if Mhki was open to the move from the start, but they're stalling for that very reason.
Try to be logic, try to speak english lad. Theres a difference between wanting to replace Mkhi with Sanchez and abusing the poor cnut which is what a lot of wankers will do.
Jose is happy for him to leave 18months in, what does that tell you?
That Sanchez is a better player, not being a cnut to a current player is the right thing to do.
It is a non sense argument. What is this? 1960's drama? Who cares about gentleman agreements? Any agreement would come into picture if City had already gotten a bid accepted with Arsenal, negotiated terms with Sanchez and then he made an about turn after United came into the picture with bigger deal. City are not going to make a decision against their interests just out of some honour code. I have no idea why people continue to peddle this non sense anyway. City have given a perfectly valid reason as to why they pulled out. Inflated as it may be , they do have a wage structure in place and don't want to upset it. Even that argument is not foolproof IMO given players signed for free always get inflated wages and the fact that outlay for another attacking player in Sanchez tier would cost them much more.
Guys over at Abu Dhani upset by this? Thankfully Sanchez’s agent is not from their neck of the woods, else they’d flay him alive.
That he's not good enough for United. I don't blame him for not wanting to leave though, Arsenal are most likely going to give him less wages per week which probably annoys him, and he's leaving a team in 2nd for a team in 5th. We may want him to leave, but in the end it's his choice
Unless he’s Sanchez’ agent too, I’m wondering why he thinks Mkhi holds the key?
Can someone enlighten me?

Ok fine, agreed.
We've got to handle this one carefully, as Raiola also represents Pogba. He's already taken Pog away from us once.
No point getting Sánchez and losing an even better player as a consequence.

So, we're getting money + Sanchez? I'd imagine we'll get £10m in cash too, which will cover the agents fee.
Free swap by just increasing the wages left over by Mkh. Good business that.

No abuses but surely we want him to go. He failed here, if he was good enough, people tune would have been a bit different.
That Jose is happy for him to leave 18 months into his failed career at Utd
That's not true, it's happened plenty of times, did you not know? Now you know.
I don't see this one collapsing, too much desperation from basically all parties to get a deal done.
