I think you might have misunderstood it. I think he means "He's in Uniteds plans for next season", but the way he wrote it short hand like that leaves it open to interpretation.
Daniel James | Officially Signs
- Thread starter Lash
- Start date

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.

Thanks for the clarification guys, I was very confused why we would even think of doing such a thing. I hope we get this over the line quickly and give him lots of time to bed in with the squad.
That being clarified, my expectations are to see him maybe as often as we saw Dalot this season under Ole. Anything more would be a nice surprise and good sign for the lad
Everything! No United fan refers to us as that.
I agree that will likely be his trajectory, unless this window really goes to the dogs and we end up with no solid wing options coming in besides James.
Anyone remember how good he was vs City in the cup ? Did he play in the first place ? All I remember is Swansea being robbed.
He played well didn’t he? Same with Fred in the CL. Play well against city or city want you. Bang! Automatic United target!
Not sure if you're trolling! This is the sort of stuff they used to say in 6th grade
I'm being serious. May sound childish but it's true.
Many do and always have done, you need to widen your circle of friends a little.
We know why some object, it's bollocks and always was.
Worked very hard for his team, terrified city defenders with his pace. I’d say with better players around him he’s going to become a very effective player. Tough match to assess him on as Swansea were up against a far superior team, who were up for it and not expecting just to turn up and win.
Nothing to do with widening circle of friends, it's just matter of fact. Go ahead and call the club what you like but there's a lot of folk that cringe when we're referred to as that. It's more what our rivals call us.
He did play well but still quite raw and end product isn’t amazing. Can’t question the potential though, he’s lightning and has great work ethic.
Think you aren't aware so I'll let you know that whole "Don't call us Man Utd because rivals do!" thing is a proper myth. Check the history of the club and all. United themselves have called the team Man Utd plenty of times. If anyone cringes at calling us Man Utd they are either unaware and buy into that myth or just trying hard to be cool because "United" is trendier or something.
When you tell someone not to say Man Utd it sounds a lot like someone saying don't call it Man United but Manchester United always as "Man" can mean many things.
It isn't a matter of fact. It's a notion that has come up multiple times while I've been on this forum and been debunked multiple times too, by longstanding (and match going) Manchester United fans among others.
When can we expect this to be done?
I think the supporters who let this irritate them need to get over themselves. I know old United supporters from Manchester who use it. It was even used in matchday programmes in the 50s, and im told Big Ron Atkinson referred to the club as such

Is the issue the shortened Utd, or the Man part?
Is Man United ok?
Because the song "Cos Man Utd never die" seems to reverberate around me quite often at games!
Unless they're all strictly meaning "United" and not "Utd" even though they sound the same.
Only appropriate term is "The Manchester United Soccer Franchise"

Daniel James saga 2019. He'll be our Marquee singing. We're gonna pack OT to watch him do keepy uppies We're "close".
Do keep up
That's all I keep seeing everytime I check this thread. How close is close?

Probably as close as we were to being league champions knowing us.

That thrill when we punt it into space though... it'll be like Rashford before he stopped trying to outpace people down the wing
In a squad lacking pace and workrate a punt on a young, extremley fast and hardworking player must be a positive. Despite some thinking we should sign bigger names and not have a look at young UK based players it´s clear there are good players to be found in the lower leagues. Maddison has done well, Sessangon has done well also in my estimate and so on. Raw pace will always be a difficult weapon to play against and considering we used to score a lot from counter attacks but that hardly happens anymore. What speedy players like James also do is to open up the field for other players and create space for others. His running ability would also put a little pressure on lazy talented players like Martial to step up their game. Because it´s still a fact in football that the faster, fitter and hardworking teams usally win and that is a huge factor for both Pep and Klopp teams.

Just come back in a month or so.
I guarantee we'll have it done
(disclaimer - not a guarantee)
Rashy will be a bad influence. Before we know it he's going to take 35 yard shots.
In three years for 100 million from spurs.
I agree. Thats the way it is.
We’re definitely trying our best to make this sound like a good signing.
Must be sad everyone isn't all doom and gloom about everything.
Did we ever find out what happened with the 'Man Utd' bandit?
Jesus, got excited seeing a lot of buzz in here. . . Falsest of dawns

I’m not sure “worth a punt” is good enough when our team needs major surgery.
The fact that we have a poster who is on 59 posts in this thread without ever watching the poor lad says it all.
He's a decent prospect. I don't know if he'll sign or not but I given what we've seen from him thus far he's certainly worth looking at.
He offers something we don't have. He's fast, he's two footed, he's creative, and he has the potential to be top quality.
We simply don't have a player that ticks all those boxes.

From what I've always been told Man Utd is fine, it's "Man Utd" that isn't fine. Even our official website is manutd.com
https://www.quora.com/Why-do-fans-refrain-from-calling-Manchester-United-as-Man Utd
And considering this website won't even let me type the inappropriate way to say our name, I'm going to take that as correct. To give a hint, it has the word "you" but as one letter after "man"
Its not inappropriate though, united supporters have given it power by deeming it so because of some chants by rival supporters.
Scouts are making notes.That's all I keep seeing everytime I check this thread. How close is close?
maybe I'm oldschool. I never refer to it as that. This isn't a university, it's a football club
