Deluded Rag at work saying that Yoro signing for them is a sign that they have more pull than Real Madrid.

Sorry dude but signing for the Rags instead of Madrid is like getting the non-present end of the Xmas cracker.

It’s like getting the Xmas cracker pressie instead of Erika Eleniak jumping out of a box naked…

Forced to Join the Rags, there was no competition from Madrid as they knew he was out of contract soon so offered a low fee only which was rejected, and its 52 million plus 7 million in add ons also (note the BBC only state the initial fee where our 21 million and add ons for Savio is reported as 30 million):

The French club have pocketed more than £50million with the teen defender's transition to Old Trafford. His dwindling contract left Lille scrambling to make a profitable exit despite Yoro's known preference for Madrid

Madrid were neck-to-neck with United in the race, but intended to delay signing until the summer in hopes of getting him on a free transfer in 12 months' time. Lille, aware and fear-struck by that prospect, didn't want to miss out on cashing in on their valuable player.

Eager to push the player to rethink, Marca, a Spanish news outlet, alleges Lille "threatened" to bench the 18-year-old for a full season if he rejected the move to England's top-tier league. Real displayed their unwillingness to pay market price by tabling around £30m to secure Yoro just weeks earlier.

No I'm not having that - everybody knows that the pull of wearing the world famous rag shirt was just too strong a pull for him to resist, despite taking a massive drop in wages to achieve the ultimate aim in his professional career.

Manchester evening news
Nothing about court case but squeeze city in at the end cnuts

The pair had fallen out at the start of last season after Ten Hag publicly criticised Sancho's efforts in training, to which the former Manchester City academy man hit back online. The relationship appeared to have been broken but now Sancho has a way in, unlike Greenwood, who the club explained "it would be most appropriate for him" to move on from Old Trafford.

Yes.

I think he meant Woodward had a more disastrous effect on the rags than the air crash.
