I hope that's all it is. I'd be so annoyed if we sold him.

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.

Blind is a good player, would be a welcome addition.
Because they keep winning things and getting to Wembley?
Wouldn't be ruling validity of this story out. Agents will be talking to raise profile of players needing a move.
What?
I can't say I saw much of Blind before the WC but I reckon he would be good cover at LCB, LWB and possible DM. He could be a very good squad player here. £10-15m wouldn't be bad.
Dunno, if Cuadrado comes in, then Valencia could be back up, so Rafael could be a gonna, strange one but might just happen, couldn't see too many takers though.
Why would it make any sense whatsoever to keep Valencia over Rafael for a RWB position?
He's our only option to go 4 at the back. Valencia leaving in that scenario makes more sense.
Or because he'd be a handy utility player, capable of filling in at LCB, LB and CM/DM. It's a bit premature to say he's our alternative to Vidal.
Saw that, don't get what you mean. Their empty seats in the home game against West Brom was blamed on some transport disruption in Manchester. Their empty seats v Stoke last Christmas was blamed on terrible storms. That's why I asked why are they always victims.
So a reply saying ''They always win stuff and go to Wembley'' means nothing. Today's excuse just happened to be a game at Wembley
I'd Rafel can keep fit it's simply no contest. I'd keep Rafael anyday over Valencia.
None. But neither does him still playing week in week out for 2 years now without performing so that would fit the bill.
No need to get worked up over a Daily Mail article.
Also Rafa is the only one who would give us the flexibility to change between a back three and a back four. I hope we don't sell him. I'm still not over Fabio
Just signed a new contract though so doubt it'd happen, if Rafael does go then surely confirms 3-5-2 for the foreseeable future.
Don't get me wrong i'd prefer he stayed, and think he will but it does kind of make sense if Cuadrado comes in.
Its alright selling all these players but are we actually going to buy anyone to replace them or are we just going to have a weaker squad?.
If Vidal is going to happen then it needs to happen soon.
Maybe LvG just likes Valencia more, & thinks he can mould him into the position better, a la Dirk Kuyt LWB for the dutch, plus the player would be more content playing second fiddle to Cuadrado.
Ummmm??? Can't think of any other reasons!
Insightful
The report itself is nothing new, we already knew most of those players are for sale, besides Rafael. I doubt their agents will give Mokbel such story, they wouldn't give to a London based journalists. Mokbel was wrong about another story earlier in the summer about a United transfer, I'm calling BS on this.
Why Thank You!
We've been saying that for ages.
Really if it was gonna happen, it should've been when he was ready for a comeback so that he could train with us for a few weeks before the season starts. Now we're a week away and still don't have him (nor any other players in positions that still need strengthening).
I was just about to post exactly this, we are weak as it is and we are trying to ship out another 5 players?? I hope we have a fecking plan because this is getting ridiculous
Please be aware that it is a negative article, therefore it is accepted as truth.
I remember when we attacked the space, as opposed to watching it
I thought you just meant Wembley where it can be a real ball ache to get to because the FA don't really give a flying turd about fans. I have no idea about the other games.
Your choice but I wouldn't. You'll see the usual suspects follow suit this week.
Would they really think like that though?
Rooney or Van Persie or someone similar would be click bait because they'd attract United fans but also others.
Noone outside of United fans thinks Rafael is anything other than shite so would he really be that popular a story?
There's nothing negative about it though, it's basically the list of players most expected to be sold with Rafael added.
It's an odd one with City.
Always noted for having "great" support, they were generally up there near the top in the 90s attendance records.
You'd think it'd be a cinch to sell out now their Oil money has made them a competitive player, but despite City's version of their figures, you can see it each game on tv that there's always loads of empty seats
Those "usual suspects" have already reported that all those players are for sale, I don't see what's new here, besides Rafael.
Never understand that view on Rafael. Can only imagine it's because most fans don't watch him that much, so get the perception on the odd negative footage they see.
It's probably a bit like our views on David Luis. I';ve never met anyone who thinks he's a good defender, yet he was starting for Chelsea and Brazil, and has gone for 40-50m (depending on who you believe).
Do we know better than the managers of those outfits? Most unlikely.
We're not selling Rafael. It would be madness on more than one level.
Where are all the 'credible' United sources recently? Like Mitten et al.
I experienced it going to see United v Everton in 09.
Keeping quiet as they're not being briefed anymore.
