Well done.
This is the world we live in, people posting nonsense because they can’t spend 15 seconds googling.
Glad this was settled like grown-ups. I can’t see a fee being mentioned to save face certainly for Newcastle’s side and what they were demanding and hopefully not so much for our side.
Good to have the trinity of Ashworth, Berrada and Wilcox in time for the pre-season tour.

Glad this is finally sorted, taking 5 months to get to this point is ridiculous though.
The four main appointments are settled now. Berrada, Ashworth, Wilcox and ETH.
Now to the transfer threads!

I'll give it three transfers before folk start calling him gashworth.
Talksport and Simon Jordan is reporting it as though we have caved in to Newcastle.
How can you be this wrong?
Berrada starts on the 13th. Ashworth is now free to start whenever he likes.
Of course they would
Of course they are.
Meanwhile the Newcastle mouthpiece was reporting this two weeks ago.
I know.
Wrong
Nonsense. I mean Newcastle literally paid a fee for this guy a year or so back. It’s pretty common practice for clubs to pay a compensation fee for deals like this.
I think we need more...
I feel like alot of random clubs are really bitter and hateful about united. Aston villa and crystal palace is another one, even brighton, its weird. We truly do take space in alot of peoples heads
It's partly how successful we were in the 90s but more recently it feels like fans hate us because they're told to. So much biased coverage. A lot of clubs get it in periods but ours feels very sustained and hateful at times.
Compare that to what media darlings City get despite basically ruining the fabric of the sport.
It's because you were really good for ages and as a result you have a ton of fans all over the place.
Some covert conversations over the phone will have definitely gone on.
"Shall we put de ligt's on in the office for you on your first day?"
"Off to see the soleil boys later on with the missus, we love that Cirque, see, do you?"
"We like to mix our cereals with beer, specifically All Bran/Thwaites. We could easily eat 50 million bowls of these, how much do you reckon we should eat?"
Any photos of him in training yet?
Tickled me
With muppet plants singing on top of the piano.
United are monitoring Kermits situation as we speak
We're thinking of visiting Paris in the summer Ugarte any opinion on that?
Fergie ruined a lot of childhoods and they're bitter about it.
He's not a scout or talent identifier. He's the guy who hires the people responsible for picking the players, rather than actually picking them himself.
There's about 25m reasons I can think of visiting Paris, but no more than that.
Just glad we're not after Khvicha Kvaratskhelia as getting that into a small talk situation would be hard.
Been there before. Big fail on the lead to let it go that long.
Iron Dan is the key to this assembly .
Not difficult once you hear it spoken. Here’s the man himself giving us a tip:

Mission accomplished
It seems a bit suspicious that everything fell in place, right at the end of the month. Makes it seem like the negotiations were not about the money, but the start dates.
Now that he is in, we'll now go after the head of recruitment, which should be interesting.
Yeah, imagine how much worse we'd be if we'd signed Guimares, Pope and Gordon instead of Casemiro, Onana and Antony
Another bit of news that wasn't leaked ahead of time, interesting how the stories of INEOS seems to be a lot more breaking as its happening and not weeks/months before when everyone knew.
Which players did they sign whilst he was there that you consider poor signings?
Amazes me how people still don't realise after years of frittering money how valuable a DOF will be at United.
I think at board level they're better at keeping things quiet but at the football level is harder. The ten Hag saga was almost transparent
This is great news. And berrada starts middle of this month doesn’t he
I hope the fee we paid was Ashworth it
