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.

Damn it, every time I see someone post in this thread I come in hoping for news. I really want Rues here, he would be perfect for us.
Wait, what? Did that happen?

- Henriquez played 17 senior games for Universidad de Chile, didn't win that award
- Chicharito just made the NT team, when we signed him. Certainly not Mexicos best player.

Jesus. SolidState, you really are something.
He'll be a legend once this window is done with.

You forgot the most unforgivable mistake of the lot. 'Your' instead of 'You're'.
I love SolidState though. This summer he'll be in his element, and I can't wait.
HAHA wow, if I had known I would be such an entertaining poster.....
I have to admit, I am in love with United and do tend to get carried away....ALOT

Aye, that really got me. After the ridiculous hyperbole for everyone else he doesn't mention that we signed the actual hottest prospect in Europe at one point.
Not sure how reliable Bild is when it comes to Dortmund though.
feck nooooooo! We need Reus desperately.

Might that be the worst post ever? Is it even possible to be that wrong about so many things?
Man!! Reus is currently 4 million per year. While Rooney is about 11.3 or 15.6 million per year. To be honest I'll take Reus with 7 million per year any day.
Tbh 7M a year is not a huge amount for a player of his calibre. No doubt he will be getting a lot of tempting offers through his agent
Yes but Reus wouldn't make the club half the money Rooney does. Some people don't get wages at all do they. They are no way near representative of JUST performances.
BILD is really hit and miss in terms of Dortmund, but these figures are believable. 7-8 Mil per year is pretty much the limit for Dortmund. If Reus stays longer than 2015 then for other reasons than just money.
We should test the clubs resolve with a bid of around £50-£60m and the players with a huge contract. We missed out on Gareth Bale, we shouldn't on Reus.
TO counter-react a bit (I know that the post isn't accurate) but still:The more often you read that post, the more you get to appreciate it.

- Kagawa was voted from a newspaper the best player on Bundesliga. He was the best player there in the second half of the season, but in overall I think that Reus and Hummels were better.
- I think that Pep said really that Valencia is the best winger in the world. Martinez said that for sure and he is Pep-light.
- Hernandez was the best Mexican player in World Cup despite that he started in only one or two games. He was also the fastest player there.
Henriquez wasn't ever the best player in the Chile. After we signed him he got the first appearance for them so that was really ridiculous from him.
But yes, most of the post was hilariously wrong.
nooooo, he was my muppet fantasyI think it was pretty obvious after the season he's had they would offer him a new deal. If he takes it, fair play to him for sticking with them. If not, I think he could leave this summer for big money. Taking £50 mill for him this summer might be acceptable for them, especially as next year they wouldn't get to choose who he goes to and Bayern could take him.
Which newspaper was that? Bild?
Initially he wouldn't make the same money but he has all the tools to become a massive superstar for us.
I'd rather we spent £60M on Reus than Cavani.
Would love Reus, but great news for Dortmund if true!
This is my muppet signing of the summer, and it may be off the table before the summer has even started. Please say we are interested
I also read the club offered the raise contingent on foregoing his release clause but that he declined
Who wasn't?
Fellaini
How many do you think United will sign this summer?
4 players possibly 5 if we are lucky.
Who do you believe we will get?
Difficult to say, if you asked me to put money down Id only bet on say 2-3 names Shaw, Reus. Before everything emerged about Van Gaal id also had put money on Carvalho but now Id say that one is a bit up in the air. The other two I hope are Kroos and Hummels (Much more difficult transfers) Hummels is only off the back of the recent speculation on a CB, although I had heard that we were seriously looking at Mangala but have since been put off by Citys interest. I dont think any signings will happen before a new coach is confirmed. But we are definitely in for that calibre of player. Ive also heard a rumour that weve lodged a bid for Moura opening at 25m with the aim to get Reus and Moura on the flanks.
To be honest who knows.
I also think the interest In Cavani is very real as well as Fabregas worryingly.
You don't want Fabregas?!
Of course I do on the surface of it but it makes me wonder...1 why domt Barcelona want him anymore? 2 if they do is Woody stupid enough to get slapped twice. 3 I think he's a fallback for Kroos
I haven't paid much notice of the Kroos stuff as I don't think it's possible. Fabregas seems more likely as he's fallen out of favour a little bit, would still be very surprised though.
Fabregas a fall back
