In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

Fully expect this to happen super fast after the internationals. No doubt there is an understanding but if he breaks his leg etc you don't want to have an agreement announced beforehand. I'd say almost right after the internationals we'll get the English press coverage ramping up.
On like Donkey JongIt's ON like Donkey Kong
Tits out
No replies in 44 minutes. The deal is dead.
My exact first thought. Then you ruined it.
Follow the path of Jordi Cruijff! Then he’ll get back to Barcelona in no time (playing for Espanyol).
Hope you are right on that
Or it could be another Di Maria situation, where he only comes here to play so he can move to a club he'd rather be at the season after.
Is this really happening ?
Like many have said if things don't pick up after Nations League games then we have our answer
Probably. Spanish journo was contacted directly by an agent to say the process was "activated". But these tournaments always slow down deals. We'll get the usual filler newspaper stories about "agreements" all the way up till the last game then the real reporting will start.
Another player using us near contract extension. Just like Ramos.
He'll stay with them forever and then go on to manage them like Cruyff.
"Hi Amad I see from the website that you are a Manchester United player. How does it feel like to play there as a young player?"Does he have a crush on amad?
Such a strange choice for following
Amad : "Dunno, never played for them but I have the shirt. Its aerodynamic"
Write the erotica that follows thereafter as well.
Inter Milan thinking about making a bid for Gareth Bale at 10pm
This is how I see my not-so-distant future look like. It's depressing compared to now. Very good, man. You almost got me there.
True. Hair loss is no joke. You may try to hide it by comb over, but you can't lie to your eyes that always drawn to that regressed spot.
Good news. If it comes downs to the fee, we will get it over the line eventually. I still think its' more got to do with the structure of the payments.
Seems like now we’ve finally been able to persuade de jong to join it’s just the fee that’s stopping the deal from happening. We ain’t gonna pay 80 for him… we’ll try and negotiate the price down a little bit.
The first time British press have said the he wants to come. Promising signs. Wrapped up by this time next week. Fingers crossed
So who do we move for after de Jong is sealed? Timber? Antony?
If we cave in to Barcas demand for a fee, and don’t manage to get him at a good price, we surely must be the worst negotiators in Europe.
Barca will be desperate to any kind of money right now, with serious financial issues and a herd of players lined up to sign deals with them - some already signed but can’t be registrered because of the financial mess they are in.
As someone mentioned above, it must be the structure of the payments that’s most likely the biggest issue.

It was clear midfield was the priority so chunk of our budget was supposed to go to FDJ. Think Nunez deal is officially done as we surely cant pay what is being demanded.
I am glad we were able to convince FDJ. He will most likely transform our team and with Ronaldo staying, we can focus on some other area this window. Maybe get a young upcoming striker for next season

In this article there is a slight implication that Joel Glazer took decision that only one of Nunez or FDJ can be signed considering both are high transfer fee signing. Think that was the delay for FDJ as they were seeing what will be the final price for Nunez.
FDJ this summer, striker next summer then? Can hardly believe the club's transfer strategy centred around possibly getting a striker before a midfielder. Obvious to anyone where the greater weakness is.
Or perhaps FDJ and a cheaper ST/RW? I doubt we fail to sign a forward with Cavani and Greenwood gone with Martial possibly leaving too
You didn't have to destroy him this bad.
The only thing I could pick out from the article that slightly concerned me, is the bit below. It seems Joel Glazer wants deals to be done later in the window due to there being a 'different kind of price' as Whitwell puts it.
Laurie Whitwell: "For Ten Hag’s first summer however, it would be prudent to deliver a marquee player in a key area of the pitch, even at a significant cost. There is a different kind of price for doing deals later, in terms of manager satisfaction and pre-season preparations. Joel Glazer’s role in United’s decision-making is well-known and remains the case."

Mad that he doesn’t follow DVB.
Am I the only person that worries we don't seem to have learnt much here?
It seems like we're once again trying to buy someone for a large fee who we expect to transform a dysfunctional side.
Realistically, I think we'll need four players before we see consistently good results. A GK, two CMs and a CF. If we can't afford to buy FDJ plus 2/3 more, we should probably look elsewhere to get max expected value

But we are not expecting one player to transform the side, we are expecting a good coach to transform this side and player like De Jong will/may play big role in that.
