Erik’s new contract is done as well

Doesn't he have a young family in Manchester? If they were to move to France wouldn't he need to ask his partner's consent? Or do we not think that will be an issue?

Seen a few bits about ETH’s new contract, but is there anything about how long it is?

7 years

Regarding Greenwood, I'd have though the could get a move to a better club.

Maybe the family is all just role playing?

I think they’ll extend it until 2026 with an option for 1 more year.

They do what he says..

…they know the consequences if they don’t

Sir Jim watching the Euros apparently.

Any liking he had for Southgate will now be washed away.

Sounds likely, but has there been any mention of that?

So we’re working on Greenwood’s move, Ten Hags contract, and the Todibo stuff with some bidding for the Everton guy as well?


Ffffaaaackinell Murtoughs head would’ve exploded if we’d had to focus on more than 1 single deal at once.

I’d have thought Greenwood would have gone to a bigger club than Marseille.

Why? He’s not that good that a big club will want the backlash from his rapeyness.

Maybe the bigger teams are wary of his reputation too?

That’s probably it. While he would be an asset on the pitch I’m not sure he does a clubs brand any favours.

Yeh, there has been quite a few big teams linked with him, so I was expecting better than Marseille. But as you say, the bigger the club, the bigger the backlash from media and fans.

De Zerbi the manager there isn't he?

I was expecting likes of Galatasaray n Fenerbache to come in for him too. I don't think they'd give two rats about his 'baggage' as long as he scores goals.

There's a real lack of money in football at the moment. European clubs are skint and the PL clubs are quickly realising that 70m+ deals just aren't sustainable either.

I see Sancho back on loan rumours have started again too. I knew we'd be unable to shift him. The wages are just ridiculous. Woodward and Judge really made an absolute mess of this club.

Go ahead eagles manager Rene Hake is set to join United coaching staff as well according to that Romano fella

"Club-to-club talks at early stage + finances not yet discussed"

I am always curious about how much there actually is to talk about.


Marseille - Are you interested in selling Greenwood to us.

United - Yes, for the right price & terms

Marseille - good.

What else it there to talk about if you aint talking about finances. And surely finances are the deal breaker so need to be aired early doors. And stop calling me surely.

Something fishy about that appointment, if true.

Leaves a Dutch first division team as manager and becomes an assistant coach for us and probably get a healthy pay rise. Not to forget joining one of the biggest clubs in the world.

It's a no brainer for him. I just hope for our sake he's a talented coach because the football for the last two years hasn't been very good to watch even if we have managed to pick up a few cups along the way.

Seems like Ruud still might be joining too.
