In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) get the depressing job of reviewing United's 3-0 loss at Old Trafford to Liverpool. They discuss what went wrong, Casemiro's day to forget, and the pressure now on Erik Ten Hag. They also take some time to give McTominay a proper farewell, and give their overall thoughts on the Summer Transfer Window.

No, we won't, this isn't gossip made up in a playground what he's accused of.
Point 3 means this entire ‘report’ is useless
How can you seriously publish a story saying “all options are on the table”I will say, 40m for a player like him is extremely low no? I hope they are smart enough to put add ons just in case.
Maybe a sell-on clause? I find it hard to believe that any club wild be stupid enough to pay more for him.
This is what I think, too. And the sooner the better.
The most talented player to come out of our academy since the class of 92. What an absolute tragedy. What could have been.
One of the most hyperbolic statements I’ve ever seen. He’s probably not in the top ten.
Since the class of 92? There aren't many stand outs really.
Pogba, Morrisson, Welbeck, Cleverley, Lingard.
Then the recent ones like Mainoo and depending if you count Garnacho.
If you’re adding Pogba, Rossi and Pique would qualify.
Fletcher, Evans, etc.
O'Shea played a huge number of games for United too
When his contract ends? If Man Utd decided against bringing him back maybe send him to another loan. This time to a better club so that his stats could be much better and more clubs will be interested to spend more money on him?
10-15m this summer is crazy for a talent like him. He is seriously the best natural finisher I have seen in the world for a very long time.

So who are the top ten?
I'm intrigued by who the other prem teams interested are, given they know full well the publicity it will create.
Recency bias
One of the craziest statements I’ve seen on the caf
As the owner of Nice, I do wonder if Sir Jim Raticliffe has seen PSG move to a more French Nationality side than before when they were more Neymar, Messi,Donnurama & Mbappe type of squad builders which kind of failed (much like Madrid's Galacticos) - & will try to build a strong British side here at United since Raticliffe is British too.
I do think if that's the case then players like Greenwood, Sancho and Rashford are unlikely to be sold & maybe be given 2nd chances whilst possibly players like Branthwaite are targeted too even though we arguably have a solid LCB whenever he is not injured. This is maybe why we are even linked to Southgate & Potter when I really hope that this is not true.
If we were owned by a Sheik then I have a feeling we would be building our team up a bit more Galactico style instead - going for the most available hyped up exciting player everytime for every position & replacing players like Greenwood & Rashford to try and get Mbappe off Madrid's hands, or replacing Malacia & Shaw to get Alphonso Davies just as a poor examples.

Who do you think is paying £40m for him?
To be fair, if you can tell yourself fantasies about what the recording is, or isn’t, then £40m is also fairly easily imagined, you’d think.
I mean, in terms of potential he’s probably top 3. Morrison being another.
it only applies to Utd (the publicity and moral outrage). I mean look at how Arsenal can get away by flying under the radar, but when its us we have a monopoly on this.
Yeah the moral outrage about this, especially from the likes of The Athletic, has been very selective - which doesn't mean it's wrong, but it's definitely interesting
It does feel that the outrage is unique to United. There are plenty of examples of footballers being complete pieces of shit, and the football world has conveniently memoryholed those (Benzema, Maradona, Terry, etc)
I'd 100% agree with you on the athletic, posting their opinion but not letting anyone comment on their articles.
Other players showed similar terrible behaviour and kept on playing until focus shifted
Thing is though Morrison was spoke about with greater reverence, Mason actually delivered vastly more, both at underage and for the first team.
We don't know what's going to happen with Mainoo, but Mason has to be right beside Pogba as the best products the academy has produced. Personally don't think we can count Pique, but I'm not sure if that's unfair, he was probably in the academy for a similar amount of development time to Pogba.
I can't wait for this lad to be binned permanently and for this thread to be deleted.
It's destined for the classics for posterity.
Yeah agree with all of that.
Arsenal.
Not a chance they go anywhere near him, especially if they win the league.
Chelsea would be a more obvious choice.
Partey still plays for them.

It would be the most British-media treatment of United ever if, after hounding him of United, he joins another Prem club - at which point the narrative will inevitably switch to 'United really let one go here', 'what were United thinking?' and 'were United too unforgiving to Prem hero'?
Greenwood moving from a domestic "rival" after a case where the evidence was a lot more public would be very different. The scrutiny (perhaps showing the inconsistency in how these things are covered) would be another level.
It's not even like Arsenal need this type of player either. An out and out number 9 would be there priority for the summer.
Surely will go abroad for a few years because the storm if he joins an English club will be massive.
It's not as big a deal abroad. He should be able to come back eventually though. I mean Alonso went back to Spain eventually.

Would love for him to stay but it is looking unlikely.
Would imagine this is all coming from his camp. I would be utterly shocked if any prem club was dumb enough to spend any money on him.
If Man United think he didn't do it but don't have the balls to stick up for him, they deserve the stick.
