This is a first from my observation. No other young player in a bigger team has gotten this much attention about their contract situation despite having a lengthy contract. This is what young players like Leny Yoro tend to deal with regularly. Garnacho has also dealt with something similar, but he didn't have a lengthy contract like Mainoo did. I guess that, given United's current position, we shouldn't be surprised to see stories like this more often, especially when the current top teams can offer more to Mainoo in terms of short-term success.

Yeah, we've invested in Rasmus who is looking like he is developing into a quality striker. I personally think it would be a waste of money to invest in another £50mil+ striker especially when we have other areas that need addressing. A backup striker whether young or older is fine but not an evan ferguson.
"Will look at right backs this summer"
Great way to let everyone know you dont have a fecking scooby.

This is good news, he will give ETH a chance and not entertain the nonsence of Potter, Southgate, O’Neil, he will be looking for the next big thing.
Exactly, possibly the one position in the squad where we have two extremely capable players.
Looking for right backs heh?
Casemiros future decides if we get another cm or not. So, if he stays we have no need for a new cm? Alrighty then.

It's not a case of "if he stays" like we want him to stay.
Highest paid player in the club who's been by far the worst starter (when fit) since February 2023.

Anyone else get proper Benzema vibes off Camarda. Just lacking similar pace

I would really like this Southgate talk to go away forever. This is exactly the sort of nonsense I expected with Jim Ratcliffe, and if this is the sort direction we're taking then it's going to be a long time before we compete for anything.
Can this link just go away please?

Is this good, or bad?
Can't really keep up with all these appointments. What's a technical director and why is this chap the best man for the job?

Good news, worked previously with Berrada and by all accounts has done a good job since then.
Southampton are (rightly) annoyed to be losing him as he’s an important part of their club structure.
As for what a technical director does I’d say they are usually responsible for:
- Performance at various levels (academy through to first team) including analysis
- Sports Science Depts (working closely)
- Talent ID
- Long term strategic planning related to football outcomes

Cheers, so part of putting a proper structure in place then.
So what's Ashworth's role, director of football? What's that then?

United are looking for a Director of football, Football director and a Director of Balls.

Pretty much.
In some clubs the roles are incredibly similar and synonymous. Ashworth however would have more say over who is bought and sold as usually a director of football deals with players in and out of the club more so than a technical director who in this role will likely be more about who is already in the building and dealing with staff more so than players (I think and am basing this of an average structure at other clubs).
So planning with the technical director if we lose player X what qualities are we missing so we can scout a replacement player Y etc.
So my confusion is not unusual.
No not for you.
JK yeah a lot of clubs the roles are synonymous but for us there will be a clear difference.

Why?
No one knows for sure. We can only speculate, which is what the Caf's already doing in the Wilcox thread in the United forum.
Tier 2:
In short, Southampton claim that United offered more than a year's salary in writing, but after talking to Wilcox himself, they're now only willing to offer a year's salary to Southampton.

Why is nothing ever straight forward for us?
Hope that's not correct. Pretty shitty move if true.
12 months plus £1 it is then
