We needed to sell him due to bad transfers over the past few years. We was making no profit what so ever. We’re selling everyone for much less than we signed them for.

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.
Up to a point Amorim probably would have liked to have Mctominay, certainly early on, but given what we know now about our finances his sale was clearly vital.
Garnacho next to keep the books balanced, and to give Amorim some cash.

They can’t as their non-eu spots are already taken. Another benefit of Brexit
What is the limit in Serie A? I know Milan have a ton of non-EU players (RLC, Tomori, Abraham, Pulisic, Emerson Royal and Chukwueze).
It’s two maximum but it’s a bit complicated.
This article addresses AC Milan

It's not a maximum of two when Milan have about 6!
If non-EU players can just be classed as EU players, then there's not a limit on non-EU players.
It's two every season , first one can be registered no issues , for second one its one in one out .
What an utterly pointless rule.
A rare deal that was good for all parties. Genuinely pleased that he’s smashing it over there and hope we wins the league.
I agree completely.
The unforgivable thing is that a club of our size and revenues, has reached a position where we have to sell academy developed players in order to spend £50m on a midfielder.
It's transfers per year not overall players in the squad. Abraham won't count as he transferred from another Italian team. Pulisic has Croatian nationality.
The rules seem to be tweaked quite often so I don't fully know the extent of it anymore
Different from country to country which is the frustrating part
England - play as many foreigners as you like. Ironic.
Spain - maximum of 5 but limit on 3 per matchday squad
Germany - no restrictions
France - maximum of 4
Lukaku too. Why he ever left Italy in the first place is beyond me.McSauce winning Napoli the league
I'd personally prefer if they did it a different way. 4 out of the starting 11 needs to be eligible to play for the national side of whatever league you're in.
I would love it if Mctominay wins the league with Napoli. Lukaku, Sanchez, Mkhitaryan and Darmian also won seria A after leaving United
Underrated by a majority of United fans when he was here.
I would've loved to have kept him in the squad. He could've been a good squad option as one of Amorim's number 10's...
wasn't to be.
I'm glad he's doing well at Napoli

Calm down, he’s scored 4 league goals for Napoli, he’s hardly tearing Serie A to shreds.
He was a decent player for us who has gone to a league and coach that better suit him.
Also, i believe English players are given EU status in the Serie A since last season, which is something that has helped Milan considerably.
I think Germany have a rule where 12 if your squad must be German
I think focussing on the amount of money is one way for his fans to rectify the transfer and it is legit, no doubt. But at the same time, he wasn't the solution to any of our problems. At no point. A midfielder that scores somewhat regularly is great of course - but only if he is at least decent in the core midfield aspects. McTominay wasn't. He wasn't a midfielder, he wasn't a defender and he wasn't a striker. For some systems, he could be turned into a player that has more upsides than downsides, as we can kind of see at Napoli now, but United at this point have to adress their midfield issues and their scoring issues and the answer on those questions was never Scott McTominay.
Nothing crazy. Underrated player. He was and still is not worse than 100m central midfield players going two years ago. Rice, Caciedo and so on. In Premier League.
We did huge misstake selling him. Everybody knows that.
Yeah buddy, pretty sure thats not correct.
nein.
First it is EEA, not EU… For exemple, Norwegian players enjoy the exact same rights as EU players.
Switzerland and the UK are also a particular case in terms of movement freedom, it is up to interpretation and the Italian federation has chosen to avoid restrictions on them, probably because clubs lobbied to have it that way. …
Put some respect on his name.
They changed it again before this season, but basically, you have a number of slots per season to sign non-EU players from outside the league(with # of national team caps required for the last slot), which changes from 2 to 3 depending on how many non-EU players you already have under contract. There's a one player exception for british and albanian players, so you clubs can sign one british player(and one albanian) without it counting against the non-EU slots
If our scouts see that they’ll be all over this dude for a 60m transfer
Delighted to see him doing well
Only if you’re a bit dim.
A footballer who gets the club, is a great trainer, never causes hassle, is happy to sit on the bench and can regularly come off it to score important goals when chasing games is the answer to plenty of problems and always will be.
Especially for a club that struggles to score goals and see out games or break a deadlock as badly as we do.
He was scoring more often for us last season. 5 goals 2 assists in 17 starts and 1 sub, while he had 7 goals and 1 assist in 18 starts and 14 subs for us. A goal every 270.4 mins for Utd last season and a goal every 305 mins for Napoli
Hmm, not a very pleasant start...
It sure is. Uniteds biggest issue right now and for quite some time is that the 1st team is not a great football team. Having a good option on the bench is nice but not a priority given the forementioned issue.
getting the club
great trainer
never causes hassle
If those are the things that pop up first when trying to "sell" the value of footballer, I'd say something is already fallen into the water...
Thats an issue. But having or not having a sub doesn't change that. The mission has to be lower the number of times we come into such situations.
Arsenal would be top if you switched out Rice for McTominay
Can just imagine Arsenal's set pieces with McTominay taking them. Even Onana would look comfortable
Didn't EtH actually prefer to keep McT though? Lots of other stuff to criticise EtH for though.
Perfect player for Ruben. He will won series title.
No they haven't. It's not that simple. Can't bother to research it but I know it's not that for sure.
Can sign 1 british player per season without counting against the non-EU slots
Mctominay would thrive at Arsenal. Utd are the problem.
Edit:
Mctominay, Rashford and Garnacho are actually good players.
