This seems to be the way with them for the last few seasons.

The (rare) games where they do have lots of possession and chances they usually fail to win... its the games where they get comprehensively outplayed that they tend to hit the opposition with a sucker punch goal and end up scraping a thoroughly undeserved win.

Worrying times for the scummy rag cunts & long may it continue! Blatant wolves pen not given then battered off spurs, then outclassed by burnley all be it a friendly, happy days :)

They just can’t shift him. And I suppose you can't blame him. Engaging devil's advocate mode here; if a player has a legally binding contract for, say, 100k a week (5.2m a year), with two years left on the deal, and the club wants to sell him; why should he settle for half that figure? It's not his choice to go, after all.

Now, I understand that in a lot of these cases, a compromise is usually reached between the player and his employer. But it seems Harold is, like the lady, not for turning.

I get that but if he signs say a 4 year contract on the same (or more) pay then he's not losing out.
Now if West Ham were offering him less then fair enough, chase the rags for the difference.

Perhaps the rags have reneged on a promise they made somewhere in the transfer discussions ?

Who cares, the cunts are stuck with a player they are desperate to sell, and he is showing no attempt to help them out.

win win

Yeah; but he wants to have his cake and eat it, doesn't he? He'll argue that, once he's left utd's employment, it's none of their business what he earns elsewhere. Is he being greedy? Yes. Of course. I doubt he's going to struggle to meet the mortgage payment in the next few months, somehow. But utd were presumably (?) happy to hand him the contract he's on. I'm assuming there's no clause there that they could settle the balance of the contract on a sliding percentage scale, according to how long is left on the contract. I doubt any agent would agree to that anyway. Maybe they could get him on "misrepresentation", namely that he isn't fit for the role he was "manufactured" for.

I’ve just looked Wiki, and his given names are Jacob Harry.

And who is going to offer him even close to 190K pw as that abomination of a club pays him right now. They want to bail out of the contract and still sell him for as much as they can get.
I never understood hatred their asshole-supporters feel for him, he hasn't been playing for ages and they still play the same shit football.

I agree, has Casemiro retired from international football? will Bruno Fernades be going off with Portugal (or might he get a niggle)? I can then see Mount still having a 'small complaint' and staying away from England during the international break. That would give United like a month to work in secret with these three and get that weird midfield working - because if they don't they might end up having a season as bad as Chelsea had last year.

They were blooming lucky to get third last season, Liverpool had a nightmare and the aforementioned Chelsea.

I reckon based on what I have seen so far the league could be City, Newcastle, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea (mainly cos of the money they seem to have) Brighton, Spurs (if they can get a striker with the Kane £££s) and Aston Villa, Brentford (if they can hang in there till Toney comes back) and West Ham (if Paqata isn't banned) & then Utd. so that would be 11th!!!

EtH would have to go and then they would have to start another re-build, another 'new project'.

They need not worry about the rebuild. Apparently the sheik has drawn up a long list of purchases he wants. Boehly number 2. YCNMIU.
