It's only their deep-seated love of the Rags that stopped Phil Jones and Martial from signing for Barcelona years ago. Apparently, they were offered 600k a week each, but they said 'Nah, thanks, we love Stretford too much.'

Just to add, Luke Shaw was off to Real but found out there were no Greggs in Madrid, so he told them to stick their money.

& De Gea on KDB wages, Sancho not far behind

Yea although the thing their new owners have going for them, is their impeccable human rights record. Treat their workers really well over there too!

Then having a wealthy benefactor is not good for us at all. Just watch the spending rules get changed to allow a new owner to invest what they want for the first 5 years.
