Yeah just seen it he scoops it into the stand, not sure what the issue is.
 
Great news, I guess we will see the best of Amad after adding 1 or 2 quality front players along with a good wing back.
 


If it's true that Amad will be on around £125k/week, then I think Mainoo will be on similar money as well, if we extend his contract. Also, all of Zirkzee, Yoro, Ugarte, Mazraoui and Amad will reportedly be between £105k-£135k per week. I guess that's the ideal range for Ineos, for important first teamers who don't have the status and reputation to demand super high wages yet.

If we sign Nuno Mendes at one point, I'd expect him to fall into this range too, considering his low salary at PSG.
 
Great news. Really hope he kicks on now on the pitch, remains professional and doesn't go down the path of so many before him.
 
While he obviously deserves a new contract, 100k+ salary for a player who hasn't even scored 10 goals for us still seems quite a lot.

Yeah. I'd be hoping he kicks on now against lower opposition,and starts banging in a few more. Since that incredibe City goal he's been quiet up until Anfield.
 
Tough to do in such a poor team. 13 G/A in half a season for his first full season is an excellent return so far.

We've a relatively kind next few games in the league now at least, perfect platform for him to add to that, especially if the team does start to click.
 
Definitely good news, if 125k is true, I'd consider it to be on the higher side but still ok. My personal feeling with him is that he is going to be an important player for us but I don't see him at the highs some people do see him in. Think it will be interesting to see how he is going to cope with more and more teams being prepared for him.
 
Maybe, but Amad also has all the leverage since we fecked up not renewing until now where he's currently our best attacker. Factor that in, and it's not a crazy price at all really.

The fact that a mostly unproven player like Amad has leverage over the club is a damning indictment itself. However, we should be clever with dealings in the future. Example being Mainoo. We can offer him a better deal but it has to be a marginally better one so he remains hungry to improve. Too often we’ve seen our young players performing at a mid-table club level but getting CL money.

Yeah, like I said we fecked up not trying to extend Amad last year (granted he probably might not have been open to it anyways given ETH couldn’t care less about him), but at this point in time given his age and production this season the club has to sacrifice and go a bit over what they’d like wage wise.

125k is still perfectly fine for a regular starter though, don’t think we have to make too big a deal of it
 


Turned down two other offers to stay at United. These are the kind of players you build a club on.
 
No surprise he has interest from other clubs.
But, the way he is making love to the badge shows he is not going anywhere.
 
Thank god for that, I was genuinely worried that he might leave us just as he has started to nail down a role in the first team
 
He was our best player at RWB. Ever since he's gone into that inside forward position his contributions have dropped massively. But we have no alternatives. Rashford was presumably supposed to play that role. In an ideal world that would been great, and allowed Mazraoui to go back to LCB. Crazy how we have basically two players (Hojlund and Bruno) for the front three positions and Hojlund isn't even that good (yet).

Dropped massively? He’s scored or assisted in most of those games, has he not?

I don't think he has (too lazy to go check the stats to confirm). And i'm not saying his performances are worse. Was a comment on the system rather than Diallo. Diallo at RWB with Mazraoui at LCB worked wonders for us. Ever since we've switched that up in early December did we see team performance drop.

That has less to do with him being worse at #10 than it does the fact his replacement can't progress the ball to him.

Didn’t Maz play RCB?
 
125k is a lot but then you look at Casemiro, Mount, Eriksen, Rashford, Bruno all on 300k+ and realize our wage structure is just disastrous. Should never have anyone above 200k until we're competing for real trophies
 
Throw him back to RWB. He was amazing there and gives us an extra threat from deep. Maz is better at RCB in this system.

It’s a lot of money but he’s also a key player now. Ideally he’d be on less than 100K as he’s only had a few months of being an important player which is, frankly, minuscule in the grand scheme of things. But as you say, the reality is that we do have this insane wage structure and this is probably the best we could do in that context
 
Great news having him signed up. One of the few players from this season that come out with a bit of credit. We've waited a long time for him to get his chance and see his potential in action, but it's starting to pay off now.

Image what he's be like in a fully functioning team. :nervous:

In a gummy functioning team? He'd be unbearable.

125k is hardly a lot for a Premier League starter at a big club.

He is easily best as a 10. As others have shown he's been heavily marked as he's our most dangerous player.
 
Arsenal 1:1 Man Utd New
Our best attacking player today and he came on the 80th min.
