Why are you constantly coming into this thread pushing the same story again and again? We’ve heard it already several times, we know your thinking behind it and don’t agree. Let’s leave it there

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Always good to get a fresh take in this thread.
Hopefully the Juve move will happen sooner rather than later.

Hoping other clubs come in for him so we get a bidding war going! Looks like we could fetch a decent fee for a change. Shame how it turned out as he would have been better than Rashford.
Why can Juve or Napoli or Dortmund take him, but we can't? Are their owners/fans/whoever less human than we are? Can't we just forgive him?
This isn't about can/can't. This is about should/shouldn't. If you think we should - then think that. Who's stopping you?
Because everybody in england knows what happened and united is one of the biggest clubs in the word. In italy not everyopne knows about this and frankly won't care. This would mean endless media attention and thats the last thing we need right now. Shame though as he is a fantastic player but has only himself to blame.
Wow, if only someone had suggested this incredibly original thought already
Its not been a major story in other countries.
There would never, ever be any peace for him here, every ground, every public appearance. He would get called every name under the sun.
It is in his own interest to go elsewhere, because while beckham could deal with the entire country hating him for half a season, few players could. And this would be like that, forever.
Forgive him for what?
That post got deleted and warned. Plus a bonus threadban.I’ve got a warning on this thread for less on this
United are not going to be able to get a great deal for him with all things considered.
But rather than have add-ons which he will never meet or can easily be dodged by the buying club, I would just include a huge percentage if he is ever sold again.
Let someone have him for 25 million but include a 50% sell on fee.

Is this a wind up!?

You’ve no idea about his mental health so you’re just wildly speculating to try and justify his behaviour.
They'll offer it but it'll be paid over 80 years
Good question.
I'd like to see some of those who (repeatedly) say we should "forgive" him specify what it is we're supposed to "forgive" him for.
Seems relevant.
Back in the days I wrote that I felt sorry for him (now I'm regretting that) and I hoped that he could get a second chance in United. But when put before the thought of him coming back it feels really weird and wrong. A move to another club somewhere else would be the best for everyone involved. People like me who thought about him as Mason the footballer not the private person has seen reason and all the things that came out is more then enough to see him sold and not back in United. Lets just hope we get a good chunk of money for him.
Juve sounds like a rather big club though?

The most recent update is that Juventus have not made an offer for Greenwood.
I see, I don't use social media, so not in the loop

Utd are under no obligation to employ someone that threatened to rape their girlfriend because it might have been due to a disorder, diagnosed by Dr. Internet.
Correct.
People were saying a few months ago that Real Madrid and Barca would be in for him based on a few decent performances for Getafe. That was never going to happen this summer.
So trigger the extra year, no song and dance about it, sell him after a loan for 30-40m cheers
I hate how skint other clubs come asking for United players
Does Juve have anyone United could gain from getting?
20 years too late
Obligation to buy works well enough, although doesn’t his contract only have one more year? How would that work if his contract expires in a year anyway?
We have a plus one on his contract. I’m sure there are T&C’s
Threats of rape are vile abuse as well. It really shouldn't have to be said, especially as he was criminally charged.
How does obligation to buy help us in this transfer window. Genuine question as if selling him for £30-40m pure profit but the obligation is next season. Can we still put it on this years books.
If we can’t there is no point doing the deal. We don’t benefit. Sell Mctominay or Rashford and get a deal that is possible done.

Sorry for your troubles. Your post comes across as genuine. Your points about redemption are valid, too. It’s probably gone too far now to see him return to play here. But in the light of family reaction, reconciliation with partner, baby, and a decent loan spell, maybe suspending judgement might be wise.
For FFP purposes at least, the income from a "loan with an unconditional obligation to buy" goes on you books from the start date of the loan.
I doubt cashflow issues are a thing at Man United.
Well said
I don't think this story is about forgiving or not. It's about business. As a new owner, would someone of you guys start with taking back the "public enemy" and risk the respect of fans immediately? The player who's hated by workers, supporters of the club? Would you risk this? Don't think so. Greenwood made some stupid mistakes so let's not absolve him of responsibility anyway.
40M it's a good price for both parts, everyone knows he won't play here again and juve is getting a world class prospect for a discount fee.
Respectfully, nowhere near worth the hassle and bad press.
Get rid for a tidy sum and move on.

Please get help if you haven't already. Absolutely zero excuse for any of that behaviour.
Not surprised by the low bid. I would decline a £25m offer and wait for a more suitable offer. Greenwood definitely has suitors.
Take the money and run.
Yeah, lets not get low balled here. I am sure we find someone for 40m, he still has world class potential
