Yeah, 9 goals and 4 assist in 34 matches is not what we need. It's Martial type numbers and he's been shit.

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.

Despite that, United are still keeping tabs on the player, so we'll see how this situation develops.

Sabitzer's contract expires next summer. The player doesn't intend to renew and wants to go to a new club this summer. Apparently, he wants to play in the Premier League, which is why Spurs get linked to him.
So he hasnt inside news, he just saw the same financials as the rest of us.
Thanks, James.
- Chelsea will only sell Werner if he wants to leave, but he currently wants to fight for his place.
- Giroud's contract is ending in the summer, and Abraham's future is uncertain.
- Chelsea's striker targets:
- Erling Braut Haaland (primary)
- Romelu Lukaku (alternative)
Apparently, a source from Bild states that Leipzig have yet to talk to Liverpool about selling Konaté.
In short, that journo James Cooper hasn’t got a clue. It’s all ‘i think, i think’, basically all his own opinion. It’s not like a United source or official told or leaked to him about the club’s transfer plans
Laughable.
There he goes again. No idea whatsoever. Just piggy backing on the back of Ornstein.
Why no tweet about this deal beforehand Fabrizio?
I think if it is a £100m then that's a lot of money to spend in the current market. And then if we can bring in money via sales, then we could have a significant amount to spend. But it all come being creative in the market like the above tweet I posted.
In particular, if we can structure deals like Diogo Jota's transfer to Liverpool, we can potentially bring in multiple players next summer. It's just a matter of structuring a large enough payment for 2022.
I don't think that's correct whenever Clubs talk of budgets they are mostly describing total outlay for the players ,United won't be bringing in talent worth 250 m just because we might be paying 100m for them upfront
If the budget is 100 m without sales we would only bring 100 m worth of talent nothing more we won't be committing more than 100 m in total fees irrespective of how the payments are structured.
That's fair enough. I have been looking through the cash flow lens since last summer, as it's ultimately about the cash that's available at the time. Given what happened last summer with United, I don't tend to put so much importance on the overall transfer budgets as that can change depending on forecasted cash flows.
I actually haven't seem him since the Liverpool game almost two years ago! So I didn't realise he was over his injury concerns.
Just remembered him being very laid back when it came to finishing, something Martial is awful with.
Your cash flow point is absolutely on mark that's the reason I still believe we were not able to sign Sancho last season Its all speculation but I think we might have been able to bring Sancho's price under 100 m but insistence on Dortmund's side was big fee Upfront which ultimately wasn't doable on our part .
Exactly. We can't go around spending huge sums on singular targets in the current market. And if you look at the work of some of the top Sporting directors, like Ralf Rangnick etc, he's a big believer in identifying young potential which has been a corner stone to his success in building teams from scratch that have gone on to be successful.
We also have a couple of young players who could potentially help improve our creative options next season, which could also be very important in improving the collective. So £100m to spend with added money from player sales, and we'd be in a good position to improve further as a collective. We've gone down the big money route and fans were very excited, (me included) but if we look back now with the benefit of hindsight, it would've been better to operate in a more shrewd manner.
It's funny how the tone changed throughout the course of that transfer window. At the start, we were apparently ready to deal with COVID-19's impact on finances, but once we became aware of the hit on our matchday revenue, our tone suddenly changed. That tells me that we probably had a decent chunk of the fee expected to be paid in 2021, but we then had to renegotiate, which is where Dortmund insisted on the large up-front fee.
Ultimately, we've moved on from, which'll disappoint many United fans, but it is what it is.
That's right, but you'd think that Liverpool would declare their intention to pay the clause in order to gain permission to talk to Konaté's camp. I guess speaking to the player's agents first has become the norm; we do it as well.
Anyways, here's Konaté speaking about the recent news:

It looks like Liverpool are talking to Konaté's entourage, and the player himself hasn't really gotten in touch with Liverpool as of now.
Don't think I've ever forgiven him for missing that chance at anfield...

Apparently, Aréola's getting linked to Italian clubs due to his agent being Mino Raiola.
Anyone knows who he is? position? etc
From what I've read online, legally speaking, the buying club gets the permission to speak to the player if they submit an offer to the player's club (even with a release clause in place). In this case, though, they aren't technically speaking to the player but to his entourage, which is the norm.
From what I've seen in a different Tweet a while back, he is seemingly a striker/forward. He's mostly played up front through the middle, and his standout attributes seem to be his speed, skill, and finishing.
Striker, scored 48 goals in 28 games for Derby from what I've read.

'that journo' - Not like Cooper hasn't been Sky's main man for United news for almost a decade now.... 
Like a set of photos you'd see up on a wall down a high school corridor of the head and his assistants.
Thank you both!
