Manchester United's recruitment team are touring Europe's biggest clubs before the transfer window in an effort to get an early start on this summer's squad rebuild. (ESPN)
BBC Gossip Column.

Translation for non Rags fans.
Scruffy Jim will be taking his pick up truck on tour shouting “any old iron” and come back with Wesley Sneijder and Diego Forlan.

I'm sure the only reason any club would look to sign Rashford is for his commercial/social media revenue generating value rather than his footballing abilities.

Several of Hojlund's team-mates were reported to be unhappy over his decision to be interviewed by the channel's owner and presenter Mark Goldbridge because they have been critical of United players.

Goldbridge – real name Brent Di Cesare

The United Stand have since received death threats warning Goldbridge that he is 'a dead man walking' and threatening to harm him if he turns up at Old Trafford.

The messages on social media mentioned other members of staff and the exact location of the studio. Police were called out on Tuesday while security has also been stepped up.

In a statement to Mail Sport, Goldbridge said: 'I totally understand that football is a passionate and divisive sport, and that people are free to decide and have an opinion on what content they consume.

'However, the pile-on some of our staff were subject to over the weekend was incredibly sad to witness. To be threatening people's lives yet again evidences the vile pack mentality that exists on social media.'

To paraphrase Max and Paddy;

"If you play with feathers expect to get your arse ticked."

He's built a grift on hate it was going to bite him one day.

Well, Brent, me old china - if you sleep with scabby dawgs you’ll get fleas.
 
Three things.
1) Yes the hypocrisy stinks.
2) Building a 'Wembley for the North' is actually a very good idea.
3) Whether the home ground for a football team should be that "Wembley" is debateable. i.e Surely it's a 'home' game if they play a semi or final there?

Ole Golum recently revealed during his time as manager that two rag players turned down his offer of the club captaincy. One of the players was planning on leaving at the end of his contract, so he refused (Jogba)

The other players name wasn't revealed, until Golum was pushed a few days later, and the actual day his name was outed, Marcus Gashfoot had a "car accident" near the training facilities and his captaincy refusal was buried by that incident.

He's one of our own, they said. He turned down the rag armband, no-one said.

He'll be safe then. Unlikely he will ever turn up at the swamp
 
Hojlund's advisers will be getting some stick for allowing to be interviewed by that tool.

Great to see this thread at the top again.

1) Agreed.
2) Disagree. It would be a white elephant with not enough usage to cover costs. Cup semi's should revert to the fairest ground relevant to the 2 teams competing.
3) Definitely shouldn't be a home ground for anyone (although my reply to point 2 makes that moot)
