It's more a request than anything else, I complain about the fees before the transfers but I hate when people use it against a player. I will use it against Woodward and Berta though

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

.@Phil Osophy hasn't posted since the tweet. I am concerned
Don't worry guys, I'm okay.
I doubt it means Jose is close. Van Gaal wanted him in January. Di Marzio and other top Portugese journalists said we bid for him but could push through a deal.
Ful article
This kind of quashes the prospect of Fosu-Mensah having a long-term role in midfield.
So what's this mean now that Rooney thinks he's the next Scholes and we already have Herrera who needs more games plus Fellaini who's also been doing quite well? Hopefully the exit of Carrick and Schweini with Schneiderlin and Blind being the two options in defensive midfield?

A new Brazilian has enchanted Manchester United. The Brazilian in discussion is Renato Sanches, Benfica’s midfielder is commonly hailed as the next big thing in Portugal. He has convinced the world football panorama through his performances and scoring important goals such as that against Bayern in the Champions League. The Red Devils are ready to invest as much as 60 million in the youngster born in 1997 that they will pay in installments throughout four years. It’s still much too early to say that anything is official but at Carrington everyone is feeling very optimistic towards the signing of the young Brazilian. The player has been followed intensely by the scouts and supervisory board and has convinced everyone, including Sir Alex Ferguson. Although not yet official it’s very possible that Sanches’s next home might just be at Old Trafford.
Brazillian?

Brazillian?
Someone like Mourinho would love to play Sanches and Fosu-Mensah behind a #10 ala Ozil or James.
€60M? 
Done Dealio?
These figures tend to include add-ons/conditional payments, and sometimes even wages.€60M?
Transfer window doesn't open till June does it?
Oh, right.
Deals can be doneio before that.
Yep, just like the Martial deal it'll be around 40 million or so and the rest in add-ons if he becomes a success.
Is he better as a box to box or holding midfielder?
Noted
fecking great hair, at the very least. For some reason I'm really excited about this transfer.
Well if he turns out to be a talent like Martial, you won't see me complaining.
For one, he's a CM with pace.
I've only seen him against Munich, but he didn't look a holding midfielder to me. Reading this thread he seems to be a box-to-box midfielder.
Great signing, hopefully.
The thing is, if we're signing kids for 30-40 million, they really should be special talents. Hope this kid is.
He is a box to box not a DM.
I trust Di Marzio.
Ok, cheers. I did watch him against Bayern, but he seemed to be playing in front of the back four. Guess that was down to the way Bayern played.
I imagine Mourinho has a strong grasp of the footballing talent in Portugal, so hopefully he sees Renato as a top midfielder in 3-4 years time.
I trust Di Marzio.
Is he normally reliable?
Very true.
Last summer he was extremely reliable.
Yeah, you have to play like vs Barca/Bayern. From every clip I watch of him, he's bursting forward and using his upper body strength well. Looks to me to be an all-action box to box midfielder.
They don't play the same position in midfield, Fosu-Mensah is a DM and Sanches is a box to box player.
Did he score v Bayern?
Scoop up all the talented young players across Europe
There is no problem with Renato, he is a talented player and if he exploits his potential, he will be a valuable player for us. The problem is that we are destroying the market and all the clubs will expect that type of deals from us.
He didn't. Lots of errors in that write up.
Who is he likely to replace? I am assuming Carrick or Bastian.
This is a worry. You get the feeling we've given up trying to sign marquee players and now, we are throwing the money at youngsters.
Every talented youngster at second tier European clubs will be going for €40m anytime we come knocking. The Martial transfer really changes things IMO.
I really don't like it because it's pointless to be 3 times richer than anybody else, if everything costs you 3 times more. We are effectively making our wealth inoperant.
