Seems the rumour that every player is up for sale is true, judging by Bruno's comments on the subject;
I’m not thinking about other things at the moment. Obviously, it doesn’t just depend on me, does it?" he told DAZN Portugal.
"A player always has to want to be here, but at the same time, you have to want him to stay. At the moment, I feel there’s that on both sides."
"So, if you want me to be very honest," he ominously added, "If I have to think about not continuing in the Premier League, it won’t be until after the Euros because nothing will be able to take my focus away from the FA Cup final and the Euros, as there’s nothing more important than that at the moment."

Whilst I appreciate what Jim is doing with the clubs hierarchy, it's all becoming a bit of a circus again. Perhaps he should try to just do some work in the background for a while and let the results speak for him.

He was asked if he would be leaving united.
He answered the club want him and he wants them.
Non story.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That is a non story.
The story is whether United are indeed willing to listen to offers for almost everyone, and that is where the question to Bruno has come from.
No denial from the club. A club where Sir Jim seems to have verbal diarrhoea.
Unlike diarrhoea, i think this story is planned leakage!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Let's be honest, players at most clubs have a price, so whilst I doubt the club have leaked this story, they would probably be willing to listen to offers for many in the squad.

It's not like the "everyone is for sale" thing was an official message on the website... It was just another rumour in some rag. Man Utd will always get that kind of stuff written about us.
You're only going to the circus if you buy a ticket. Stop looking at that crap and life gets a lot more relaxing.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It was reported on the BBC as fact. So I'd assume there must have been some sort of briefing
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The BBC quoted the Telegraph story. That is very different to the BBC having learned of thos froma reliable source and reporting it as a learned fact.

Clubs don't mess about. If a player is disposable, the club would tell them. They would also communicate this to the major agents within the game.
They do not need to leak a story to The Telegraph, in order to sell a player.

United have been poor.
United have a big squad.
United need to overhaul their squad.
Profit and sustainability could be an issue.
United would probably welcome bids for everyone.
Maybe not the kids.
That's the story

The BBC have drifted more towards gossip and opinion for a while now... I'm not even saying there is nothing in this particular story, just that the "circus" is only really a thing if you take every story as true (well, every negative story).
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Opion yes. I don't think they report gossip as fact.

Hilarious.
The BBC on their website in the Sport/Football pages have a daily feature called Gossip. In it they collate and report football stories and rumours published in the UK mainstream press.
If you actually believe that as the BBC publish this feature everyday they are in anyway verifying the authenticity and sources of the crap that UK journalists write and publish aboyt football in their newspapers, then you really need to give your head a wobble.

I am fully aware of the gossip column and what it is. The BBC don't try and pretend that it's anything other than aggregated rumours from other outlets.
But when they publish an article and report it as fact then that carries a lot more weight. The Telegraph got the scoop on this story. But you can be sure that the BBC will have verified the story themselves before running the story.

Nonsense. They attributed the story to the Telegraph.
