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.
It was 1.2 last season over the course of 24 appearances. The season prior to that at Ajax, it was 3.3 in 23 apps.

Just stick Van Dijk up top. Groningen did it multiple times and it paid off
I'm assuming we're able to offer 10% less than his current wages because of the tax difference. Not too bad if we get him for a EUR45M fee. If he were that good other top clubs would be swarming over this deal.
Considering they're going for a similar fee, I think I'd have preferred the pacey and versatile van de Ven who is 1 year younger and was good business by Spurs. I was hoping the club would be making transfers like this. I wouldn't be surprised if this deal has been used as a negotiation tool to determine De Ligt's fee.

I can't imagine we'll get De Ligt and Branthwaite, especially when taking into consideration what Branthwaite could potentially cost.
I think someone like Riccardo Calafiori could represent good value for money, as Bologna are apparently asking for €50m (42M).
Dalot/Wan Bissaka - De Ligt/Maguire - Martinez/Calafiori - Shaw/Malacia

Matthias (Matthijs) De Ligt bullshit bingo.
- failed at Bayern and Juve
- old
- former Ajax player do not want
- average passer
- as slow as Maguire
- another eredivisie player do not want
- always injured
- Ten Hag knows him do not want
- doesn‘t start for his country
- benched by Dier
- he is fat
- too cheap something is fishy
- too expensive
- Maguire is better
- his dad is also fat
- has the turn circle of a lorry truck

Koeman did a few times, it worked too.Just stick Van Dijk up top. Groningen did it multiple times and it paid off
15. Dad is obese
Basel gets 50% of the fee for Calafiori. That deal will get expensive. Meanwhile we need someone to play as LB as Shaw/Malacia had been out for most of last season and might still be out till the time of writing.
Araujo would be on a lot of club's lists if he actually became available, which I highly doubt he will
The Dutch league is a league were you can play Martinez (5ft9) and Timber (5ft10) as a successful CB pairing
That being said, isn't the Dutch population one of the tallest in Europe? Regardless of league quality, it's not as if verticality isn't a challenge for Martinez and co.
Turns like a lorry truck.

Forget about all that shite, has everyone seen the state of his old man? There's acres of the bloke !
Agreed. Just giving the poster a bit more background knowledge of what Martinez was like aerially last season when he featured quite often for United and Ajax.
I know we all think of Bayern as an extremely savvy well run club, that don't sell good players or make bad decisions. But currently they are not the same well run club that they have been. This isn't to say they're anywhere close to the omnishambles we've been over the last 10 years, but they're not the efficient German machine they once were. So the the fact they're willing to sell De Ligt really isn't the black mark some around here seem to think it is.
Van der Sar arguably flopped at Juve, too, and was wildly successful here. Not overly worried about Dutch players in England.
What a silly thing to focus on. We've had plenty of top defenders in the game who were about the same height or possibly shorter (athlete heights are usually exaggerated). Guys like Puyol and Baresi to name a few were hardly giants.
Calafiori can play left back, too. If not him, then I believe we should be targeting a versatile player who can play LCB and LB, which is pretty much the way the modern game is going now with the likes of Gvardiol, Ake, Hernandez, Kiwior, Shaw, etc.
Do you think Sir Jim would still be trusting them with things this after the season we just had if it was them at fault?
I dont think De Ligt really flopped at Juventus, he was a regular there making 117 apps and scoring 8 goals over his 3 seasons and won all 3 domestic trophies.
And especially Henry.
Whoa there I wasn't talking about Frenchies.
This is the transfer forum, get out of here with your facts, sir.
He could be if they're serious about their Nico Williams interest
Are we sure that his dad is still fat? Would the Caf like de Ligt better if his dad was on Ozempic and was super skinny now?
Lads relax, I'm on holiday and bumped into some guys from the Netherlands.
Asked about De Ligt and they all said absolutely yeah.
Asked about Memphis and they all said no way he's just trying to be famous.
Asked about Zrizkee and they said he's good but United should be aiming higher.

God, I forgot about Van de Ven. They really are blessed with a lot of good CB's.
Bayern won't let go of a good player if there weren't red flags.
Also, United have very rarely had a high profile signing from a top European club work out.
I "love" these - if someone overpays MADLY - this and that club will sell the player. There are maybe 7-8 players in the P.L who wouldn't be sold if an offer like that came in
My question is, how long will he be fit? That's my main concern.
A risk worth taking. I'd like to see ETH not run players into the ground. You can overdo rotation but between the four competitions and WC qualifiers for our international players we need a better use of the squad that we have and not run the XI too hard so that we cripple the squad with injuries.
This thread reminds me of an old cassette that got broken and repeats the same things again and again

Explain this.Yes he is. He’d have been ample cover for Shaw. It’s unfortunate are they both had long term injuries at the same time.I love Malacia way more than you, but he's not good enough for United. I'll take 1 out of 3 though. Afraid I can't consistently make those impressive numbers though
He’s a better left back than Dalot (but not a better full back). He’s a better second choice LB than most other sides in the top 6 have in reserve too.
No world beater, but he was cheap enough, could be sold for a profit, and is the perfect profile for the squad right now.
The injury record of these two is pretty worrying. The rest looks decent although I think AWB will leave and we'll get a new backup RB
If De Ligt was a flop at 23, what was Van Dijk at the same age? Nobody is a flop at that age. He's got years to become an even better player than he already is.
The feck?The feck?
Explain thisHe's repeatedly said how much he loves Malacia and doesn't think he's good enough for us. At this point, I think it's just pure cope and lowering the standard/expectations so that if he really does poorly for us, he won't be so 'hurt' and that Utd fans had already seen that narrative.
Like you, I believe he's been a good buy for us and if the reports are true, most of his poorer performances have been because he was playing on with that injury. Last season was a big fat shame as I was looking forward to seeing him play more; he's got some good attributes, like being press resistance, good first touch, passing and he has a dogged mentality on defence.
