Whole squad supposedly up for sale apart from Mainoo, Garnacho and Hojlund.

That's £3 off the debt then.

ffs. Saudi will be falling over themselves, they will probably bank a couple hundred million. Lets hope they keep pissing the money away.

Whole squad supposedly up for sale apart from Mainoo, Garnacho and Hojlund.

I love the fact that only one of the players up for sale has a positive PR spin on it with "Man Uniturd preference is to keep him and help bring him to top form but we will consider a sale if he wants to take on a new challenge or a substantial bid arrives" and he is PR Gashfoot.

Luke Shaw rapidly googling which League 2 training grounds are nearest the local Burger King.

Stunned. Fancy telling your whole team ‘Oh, by the way, your all sacked at the end of next month’? How to motivate your team. Would you be arsed to even turn up for work??

The Cafe nutters think Rashford is an 80 million + asset nobody's paying that for him !!!

 

[WestGorton]

They might raise about 25 million.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

They’d be getting an £8m player for £80m.

25 million pennies

I love Simon’s comments that it would take a major offer for them to consider selling Onana. He really is a red loving deluded fucker.

[ysmsa]

There’s a minimum £50mill less to go towards the Wembley of the North.

Didn't play it this season either!

That's why they finished bottom of a Europa League standard group!

 

[Brewster's millions]

Stone’s article really is a shameless bit of propaganda.

The way he dresses up the dire position United are in is frankly comical. Players that are obviously up for sale are - according to Stone - only available if a major offer comes in, while they “wouldn’t stand in the way” of people like Maguire leaving. Jesus.

Meanwhile United will adopt the radical approach of trying to maximise the fees they receive from sales this summer, while financial regulations mean they will have to be ‘careful’ about what they spend. What a wonderful way of saying that they haven’t got a pot to piss in and that they’ve been forced into a fire sale. But, fear not, because club insiders are claiming that they will be flexing their financial muscles in a couple of years.

Desperate, desperate stuff.

Slyman Stone reports: “Daniel James’ £25m move to Leeds in 2021 was the last time they raised £20m for a player.”

And that was to free up the prestigious no.21 shirt!

Slimy also confirmed that they will have to be careful what they spend.

Nor paying the ridiculous wages he’s on.

 

[Tbilisi]

Just seen that united will play Rangers at Murrayfield on July 20th.

Thats a great pre season game to be fair.

 

[bridgeno1]

Its like the DFS winter sale at the Swamp.

Now where have I heard that before
Sounds familiar LOL

Some teams, even United, still don’t seem to realize that English players get a premium when going between English clubs, and they demand English PL wages. Elsewhere, it’s very different. Fees are lower and wages are substantially lower! Ergo, a supposed “prize asset” leaving England is not going to be able to command the “English” transfer fee and is definitely not going to be able to demand “Premier League” wages!
