In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to celebrate rare back-to-back victories for Manchester United! They analyse the late win in the Europa League vs. Rangers and then try and find things to analyse in a pretty dour game vs. Fulham. They also chat about the latest Marcus Rashford news, and look at the latest transfer news.
Rashford has gone the same way, Greenwood’s issues, I’d say we’ve been pretty unlucky yes.
Terrible scouting and decision making more like.
Thank feck we found a bunch of mugs to take this loser off our hands for some actual money
This is him trying.
I’m talking more Sancho, Rashford for downing tools and not being able to handle being a professional footballer and Greenwood’s obvious issues. Pogba is another that comes to mind and Lingaard. They all went the wrong way for one reason or another.
He got locked up by a makeshift RB. I’m not going to single him out though, because the whole team was horrible. Probably the worst performance of the season for most of those players.
Initially I think they were right?
He is so easily intimidated and goes into his shell after that
100k a week this year and then 250k a week for the next 2 years off the books plus £25m for our troubles? Miraculous deal. I would not even pay £10m for him if he was the last winger on earth.
Has absolutely no fight or fighting spirit in him. Something seems to have gone out with him and I doubt it's ever coming back. Perhaps he's loaded to the point he doesn't care anymore, but it seems to be more than that to me.
Once his massive contract is up, he'll struggle to get £60k a week from anyone. He'll either play in very low level leagues or quit the game. The question at the minute is whether he can make it to 30 before doing so.

I think that having a terrible football structure contributed. Giving young players insanely costly contracts, well above what other clubs would pay. Protecting book value rather than selling and being more ruthless. Sancho was paid a small fortune. As were others. I don't blame players for thinking they made it.
I’m sure I remember Ole starting him from the bench quite often and he didn’t go straight into the team for an extended run. I always thought that was a bit odd for a 70 million signing or whatever it was. Donny VdB was the same (in fact we really bought some average or useless players under Ole didn’t we)
'baller', or something
He’s been very ineffective but honestly, outside of Palmer have any of the attackers been much better?
Attacking talent in the league is at the worst it’s ever been and the defending isn’t much better.
Genuinely think this is the worst PL we have seen in some time.

Sancho summed up.
Khusanov on a yellow, 50/50 ball and Sancho slows and lets him slide it out for a throw in. If he commits to the challenge he has a chance to win the ball and be 1 on 1 with the keeper or if Khusanov makes contact potentially a second yellow and they are 1-0 up against 10 men but no, he settles for a throw in. No stomach for the fight at all.

I heard him described as a cage footballer on tv today, can’t think of a less fitting description.
If Chelsea finish above 14th
Maybe that's why we are occupying 13/14th place to ensure Chelsea finishes above us
Morrison another player who wasted an unbelievable talent. Arguably the most talented of the lot. We’ve definitely been cursed with phenomenal players lacking it between the ears.
Yeh forgot about him, Pogba as well didn’t fulfil his talent with us, too concerned with other things and Lingard just went down hill when he brought out his clothing range iirc.
We’ve either had of the rails (Greenwood/Morrison), mentally weak (Rashford/Sancho) or giant egos (Pogba/Lingard). We might have created some of that but certainly not all.
This is what I was thinking earlier, I can see it either being retirement or him turning up at random French/Turkish clubs as he ages
That was a horrendous performance. I will again say in a season or two they will look to sell him and upgrade.
Probably make a profit too the wankers
Not at this rate. Also, his wages are too high. Unless some crazy Saudi bid happens, can't see a European club even paying 20m for this.
Probably there's been some bad luck (especially with Greenwood for example) but also club not buying players with the right profile. Think Fergie and David Gill did much better job back in the day when it comes to that (and most of other stuff obviously).
On Sancho: some of our fans really don't like him (I get it) and couldn't wait to laugh at him but Chelsea will be buying him for 20-25 million pounds which isn't a disaster anyway.
Too much money came too him too easily and too young. That's what the genuine top players overcome and they remain hungry regardless of what's in their bank account.
There isn't a single part of me that misses him or wishes that he was still at our club. He's the type of player that you can imagine dropping down the leagues or even country/league-hopping. A year in Italy, 2 in the Greek leagues, 3 playing in Shanghai, etc. If he can be bothered. Depends when the PlayStation 6 is out.
Are we getting money at the end of the season for sancho of Chelsea? If so how much is it?
£20-25m.
Was there a fee for the loan on top of that?
Such a shame, when a player has so much talent but the mentality isn't there.
I wonder how these footballers get this far and give up, I remember Rashford put a Insta post a few years back about 0.00001% of players make it, yet when they do they take it for granted.
Remember all the noobs crying after he had his first assist at Chelsea? Thank god he's gone, next one is Rashford hopefully
Agreed. That’s a lot of wage of the books also. Just by getting the bad eggs out of the dressing room it will instantly improve us and the culture of the squad.
We paid him a king's ransom. He thought he didn't have to do anything else. That's my guess. There are players who are always looking to improve and to be the best. Sancho isn't one of them.
No he isn't, he does not want to improve. You can tell the players that are bothered, they actually make an effort. Luckily he is not our problem anymore, we really need to avoid such signings.
Surely, when our scouts go to watch 90 mins, they can see what player is athletic? Just look at Amad for example, he doesn't need to score a goal to know he will want to improve. Just off the ball, he does so much more.
No. And in fact United are subsidising a large portion of his wages.
How much will he be on when he moves to Chelsea in the summer? I’m assuming they have already agreed a contract
Yeah this is the question. I haven't gotten a straight answer to it yet - presumably no one knows. I hope they just carry forward our contract for 5 years or whatever he signs for.
50 million, based on my memory.
Not sure. Pretty sure Chelsea are contributing £100k a week towards his wages though.
