In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.

7mil?! For christ sake, we can't even sell to China and get a decent fee. He's just signed a new contract too.
7m is fine. Just to be getting rid off his wages is great
Ballsack is reporting on this now? Guess it's off then...
I can't begin to understand why the fee is so low? I think an English team would offer more than that.
I guarantee, if Chelsea was selling Fellaini, they'd get 20 million for him.
Don't why I act surprised, tbf.

Ballbag doesn't know shit. He's a Spanish version of Tancredi Palmeri when it comes to transfers.
The only person who would be willing to spend that much on him is currently out of a job
If he is going to receive 11m euro net (which is crazy pay to be frank), then total cost of the contract is gonna be extremely high for the buyer. It is still good for us - we receive a fee (albeit modest), free up some wage and send the right signal to the remainder of the squad (step up or be gone).
Additionally, it puts closure on temptations of using him as a plan B
Nobody wanted him on a free. 7m is great
Was it Keane who said "That's you fecked then, Yorkie" when SAF announced he was staying on as manager? I imagine there was a similar comment to Fellaini when Mourinho got the bullet.
Wasn't Dembele's contract close to finishing?
I don't know why people are mad. He's on something like £200,000 a week. The club are desperate to get him off the books.
£100.000 actually.
people complaining about the fee for getting fellaini and 100k a week off our books, shades of Darmian here.I've read in more than one place that he's one of our highest paid players.
I checked couple of sites, and there are 8 players who have higher wages than him. He's on similar wages as Valencia. Doesn't matter really.
7m!!!?!?!!?!?!?! City just got 11m for a guy that hasn't even played in their reserves yet. Liverpool got 20m for striker with 1 goal in 37 games. Fellaini is a World Cup semi finalist.
I will give you two clues;
1) What is the age of these three players?
2) What is the salary? (We do not know exact, but we can only imagine on Fella given how Mou forced our hands to keep him.)
Why do you think that? He plays virtually every game for Man Utd, he’s hardly ever injured, can play multiple positions. Unless his fitness considerably deteriorates suddenly, he’s going to play 3-4 years more, easily.
7m is ridiculous in this market but I’m glad he’s going.
For that sort of fee I’d expect half of Europe to be after him in all honesty, whilst I don’t like his style he could do a job for many teams.

Chinese clubs now pay 100% import duty on players. They will have to pay Chinese government another 7m
And they know we want him gone.
Similarily, what's with the obsession of thinking we can have a squad of world class players?
That said, I personally think Gueye is a top drawer player for what he does, which is breaking up play and would slot perfectly in the role Herrera currently plays.
Who would you get?
I disagree. The reason I feel Ole has played Herrera and Pogba in most of his games is because he doesnt trust the back up, which is currently Fred and Pereira.
Cant see Pereira being here next season and Fred, defensively, has a lot to improve before being trusted with the deeper role.
Gueye, as I said before, would be the perfect player, in my opinion, to rotate with Herrera. Defensively excellent and dynamic, just like Herrera.
My other worry would be having someone to cover for Pogba.
Its all well and good having numbers, but you need players of the same style if you want to stick to a certain way of playing.
There's not many players who would be good cover for Pogba. Especially, considering that they would have to accept being a squad player. Do you have any examples?
I personally think and hope that Fred will improve next season.
Fred's a deeper player so you'd think he'd be cover for Herrera.
Pogba is a hard one, though. I would have went in for Ramsey but hes on his way to Juve.
Exactly, we paid £50m for him, we can’t just replace him after only one season, and if we do what a terrible buy.
Why?
Strange that we're willing to sell players before a DoF comes in but not buy? It's basically the same principal.
We should not be hiring a DOF that would suggest keeping Felllers.
Probably because Yorke had became a party animal and was no longer providing his best.
I think he would get even more exposed at a lesser team. Him playing every game is more of an indictment of how poor the squad's full back options than it's a testament to his quality. As for him playing another 3-4 years, I strongly disagree. He is a player that depends highly on his physical attributes and there are already signs of him declining in those aspects. He has a very good agent though, so it could happen but I highly doubt he would remain in the PL for more than 2 years.
Newcastle signing Almiron. Travelling for medical.
Good signing for them
Yeah, quality player IMO.
Dennis Suarez to Arsenal almost done. Loan move.
