In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran discuss a horrific month of December and a depressing FOUR defeats in a row - the latest coming against Wolves and Newcastle.
They discuss how much blame is on Ruben Amorim and rank our squad against other Premier League teams.
Do we have any chance of avoiding defeat at Anfield?
Of course, considering so many reports yesterday were mentioning that Raiola presented the offer on behalf of United, then Marotta could definitely, with perfect honesty, say that he has not had contact with Manchester United about Pogba.
You know it's on when United's twitter feed looks like this
Di Marzio gonna lose a lot of respect if the involvement of Real Madrid is a lie.
This is getting stupid now, hopefully we'll just get it done now within the next three days.
My thoughts exactly
Tbh, it's not really his fault if that's what Juve have fed him?
Madrid are bound to deny it if they've been rejected.
It'll be Juve leaking it, whether it's true or not doesn't matter, Di Marzio has solid sources and will only repeat what he is told.
Bidding war between United and Real? Real have already said they don't see him being worth €100m so why the hell would they bid more than €110m?
They're gonna pull a Vince McMahon on Juve aren't they?? "Juve you WILL accept €80m! WE'RE REAL MADRID DAMMIT!!"
Uncle Dunc is very assuring
Bidding war between United and Juve.
I'm not convinced it's as close to being done as people think. It reminds me of Sneijder and Vidal debacles where we were reported to have agreed a deal for them numerous times and it came to nothing.
Well, this all took a turn for the surreal. Pretty standard summer transfer epic.
Juventus:"We'll sell him to you for £100m, if you agree to let us buy one of your players for £40m."
United: "Okay, who would you like? Mata? Rooney? Fellaini?"
Juventus: "No, we'd like Pogba."
I don't understand Juve. I expected them to put up a better fight than this. How are they going to solidify a CL winning core now?
Still a club that I respect a lot, and probably Top 2 most well ran club right now. No shade thrown.

From what I can gather, this deal is almost done, we're just to meet Juventus's valuation and Real's name was used to make us cough up.
The hashtags seem to imply that Real will be involved too.
feck this. I'll check in tomorrow.
Please tomorrow by the final day, please tomorrow be the final day. Seriously can't be bothered with another week of this. CMON WOODY.
Poggy is coming home

Ya I'm out, cbf for this shite. Have fun boys
I think you mean Craig the photo guy
Di Marzio is saying Juventus want us to pay Raiola's percentage of the deal by offering more money, so that's what I meant.

No.
Cant comment....
The team isn't built around Pogba, he isn't essential. In fact outside of Chiellini and Bonucci no one is essential, Dybala might be in the future though.
...so after all the negotiation, we are stuck 10 million euros short... sure
I swear this transfer is a whirlwind
Too many cocky posts saying done dealio and trolling Madrid and Juve supporters it's going to be unbearable here if we get gazumped.
Hope we pull it off though but will wait till Club confirms it.

I wonder why no one has asked for comment from our side
Nope, the guy who works in the megastore is my go to person for transfer confirmation.
Wait this is a muppet thread. We can't actually buy him....
We could pay them the €120m that they wanted. Chances are if he improved dramatically, Real Madrid would come sniffing as they usually do, and if we were to sell, we could absolutely rinse them.
Of course, if we were to get him and Real came sniffing, i'd rather us tell them to do one
I was here during those transfer sagas (Sneijder and Vidal) and the media reports on those two players were nowhere near close to what they're for Pogba. For starters, Di Marzio maintained that we had no contact with Juventus over Vidal throughout that transfer saga. There were a lot of bs media reports from Chile. My memory of Sneijder transfer saga is not as good but from what I recall, the media reports were nowhere near concrete. There was a whole lot of muppet speculation in that one (same with Vidal) just because we were so desperate for a world class midfielder.
IMO, Pogba is a done deal, it's just a matter of time until we agree the final fee with Juventus (unless it has already happened). When we're willing to spend over a 100 million euros on a player, a few additional million euros won't stop us from seeing this through. At the same time, obviously we have to negotiate and can't give in to Juventus' demands right away.
That Hash bloke seems a bit of a bellend. He's loving the attention I think.
Twitter is an odd place.

Where are people getting these quotes from isn't it past midnight in Italy.
Can't imagine an owner or director picking up the phone to some journo.
