"No player is bigger than the club".
Tell that to the Saudi teams, and any bets on Nuno leaving now are Safe

He'd probably be really good for us but nah. Stop looking for stop gap strikers and let's think more long term.
And playing in Saudi leagues of all will boost it?
He's towards the end of his career, it will not matter whether he fails here or not.
We've hopefully got a long term striker in Højlund
Apparently he looked done in his last year at Madrid. We’d also have to steal the bank first before we broke it.
He's done now, he left European football at a peak (BdO and playing for Real), coming back to play for United in an already quite slow team which isn't going to win anything major is a bit pointless.
Yeah fingers crossed he's decent
We could not offer him 10% of what he is making in Saudi. He is not coming here and people need to stop with that nonsense.
Murtough : Hold my beer….
File this in the "absolutely zero chance" box
Blackmail -for which he was actually convicted. And there was no alleged in terms of sexual activity, as far as i can recall, just around whether they could be formally proved to have known. Social media is the worst thing to have happened to justice, whereby you place allegations which have been refuted by investigating authorities and media which has been deemed elsewhere to be inadmissible as evidence as guilt, alongside Benzema and Ribery etc and cases where evidence has been tested in court. Again, Ribery wasn't convicted, to be fair and accurate, but it was described in media reports as a case of having been documented doing it (activity with teenager below the country's AOC) but not being able to prove knowledge of under-age status
It's more of a theorical exercice in profiles, I suppose. I wonder if Giroud could do a job on a 1 year mission and it's more realistic than Benzema. (I'm not sure he could cope with increased intensity at his age though).
If we hadn’t signed Hojlund, this would be an alarming signing. But as we have a long term, young solution, bringing him in for a season, would be fecking superb.
But, as everyone has said, it’s not happening. They’ll sack Nuno.

I am confident Giroud could have done better with that header than Bruno
A potential loan swap for Greenwood? 
31 goals last season, think he had a final year at the top level left
Yep, blackmail and underage hookers wasn’t it?
I feel like we need to be consistent with this kind of thing now if we’re doing it.
We’re either principled or we’re not, knee jerking when there’s a public outcry shouldn’t be the policy.
The ironic thing is for once we could actually justify this signing, considering we need to a short term solution for number 9.
One year loan, Saudi pay his wages
How does that suit benzema, the Saudi's or Nuno?
Bring him in. With Hojlund that would be really good for this season
Sign today and receive a free novelty pen.
We definitely need someone who's clinical in that position. Rashford misses too many chances.
Regardless Utd wont go near a player with such a past with MG issue being so high profile.
Why do people always get moist for an aging mid 30s galactico name?
They’ll get rid of Nuno before benzema anyway I’d have thought
They'd flog Nuno before they even think about asking Benzema to resolve his differences....
Just found out Nuno won them the title last season so who knows.
I used to joke for years that Benzema will join us this season and sadly his playing profile is still perfect for us.
Sign him, 1 year loan. Sign him today and pay his wages
His wages are around £3.5 million / week. Our highest paid players are Rashford and Sancho who are on around 350k/week, so at 1/10th of Benzema’s salary.
He scored 31 goals?
Bad idea. Too old, bad attitude, massive character to throw into a fragile looking squad. He'd be trouble.
I think meant "done" drive wise. Benzema left for Saudi at the absolute peak of his career.
I dreamt of us replacing Tevez with this guy back in 2009, thought he would be great up there with Rooney.
This is really 14 years too late.
This is really 14 years too late.
Could almost be 2008. What’s Huntelaar up to?
Just going off what Madrid fans said. I only ever saw him in the champions league.
We need a striker and he’s better than nobody at all. I just can’t see where we’d find the cash, considering we can’t even sign Amrabat without selling someone first.
Not true. Benzema was a shadow and a passenger last season. He barely could run and was a liability to the team.
Nuno will be told to make it work or he's gone. Nothing to see here in terms of a transfer away from Al Ittihad.
