Loan bid for Cucurella

Doesn't sound like we're that keen on selling McTominay, we turned down West Ham's £30m bid for him. I'm sure for the right price he'd be sold but can't see anyone stupid enough to pay what we seem to want.

And it's odd seeing McT linked with Bayern Munich

Understand Manchester United have reached an agreement in principle with Cucurella on personal terms. Green light arrived on player side. #MUFC

Man United won’t negotiate for any other left back now — as they want to get Cucurella deal done with Chelsea ASAP.

Early may 23. Phone rings.

Erik: ‘y’ello’
Poch: you are in my job.
Erik: what do you mean.
Poch: the Utd job, it’s my destiny. I will be boss and take them back to the top.
Erik: well if that’s the case, who am I to stand in your way, how can I help?
Poch: take a couple of our worst players, buy or loan, don’t care. It will hasten your demise. And Chelsea will sack me even if I win everything AND the Universe league against the unbeatable Alpha Centauri FC.
Erik. So this cucurella bloke…

Pretty much

Being reported up here you are in a 'tug of war' with Chelsea over Frimpong? Not that he's played LB often.

Suspect it is planted stories cos it is getting late to get deals like that over the line?

No issue with this deal. By far the best option of the LB’s we’ve been linked to.

Would we negotiate personal terms if it was a loan? Surely we'd just agree what % of his wage we'd paid, and that would be with Chelsea, not the player.
