The hardest part in supporting my beloved club is watching my beloved player wearing a different jersey other than the red of Manchester

Now I'm going to see Vidic and Evra wearing Inter jersey and Rio wearing Hull jersey

*Rio sign with Hull I heard just now with BFM.fm

The most likely transfer are Robben, Shaw. Another potential one is Bruno Martins Indi.

Others all unlikely because there is no way Woodward will pull off a miracle deal.

But if Man Utd need to boost up, we can look in Barcelona. They are in progress of clearing the squad. Javier Mascherano, Alex Song are available for DFM. Pedro, Alexis Sanchez are worth a try. Cesc... maybe not, maybe yes.

Real Madrid's Benzema could be available as well but he is sort of like Berbatov, i mean attitude.

Manchester United chief Ed Woodward to address investors

Manchester United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward will speak to shareholders today as the search for a new manager nears its conclusion.

United's three-quarter results were released to the New York Stock Exchange this lunchtime, with Woodward hosting an investors' conference call at 1300.

He and Ryan Giggs have held talks with Louis van Gaal in the Netherlands.

BBC Sport understands Van Gaal has agreed to replace David Moyes, with Giggs offered the role of assistant.

Van Gaal will sign a three-year contract to take over as manager, with his work due to begin immediately after the Netherlands' World Cup campaign is over.

Media reports suggested an announcement about him taking the role could be made prior to Woodward's scheduled conference call on Thursday.

However, it is now thought early next week is more likely.

The 62-year-old used a designated rest day from preparations at the Dutch training camp in Hoenderloo on Wednesday to meet with Giggs and Woodward.

Giggs then returned to Manchester to watch United's Under-21 side lose to Chelsea at Old Trafford.

It is not yet known whether Giggs will accept the role of assistant manager, or if the 40-year-old is to extend his playing career, having made his 962nd appearance against FA Cup finalists Hull City on 6 May.

Van Gaal is expected to be accompanied by two long-standing members of his backroom team, goalkeeping coach Frans Hoek and video analyst Max Reckers.

Having got the full 30-man provisional Dutch squad together for the first time, Van Gaal has a friendly against Ecuador in Amsterdam on Saturday to prepare for.

The Netherlands then have two weeks before their next game, against Ghana in Rotterdam on 31 May.

They are scheduled to meet up again on Tuesday, then fly to Portugal for a week long training camp.

For United fans though, re-establishing the club amongst England's elite remains the overwhelming priority.

In confirming commercial revenues of £42.8 million and increased broadcasting revenues of 64.1% for the quarter ending 31 March, 2014, the club have put themselves in a strong financial position to ride out the loss of Champions League income next season.

And Woodward has signalled an intent to return the Red Devils to the success they enjoyed under Sir Alex Ferguson.

"We once again generated record revenues as all of our businesses delivered impressive year over year growth," said Woodward.

"This puts us in a healthy financial position to continue to invest in the squad. Everyone at the Club is working hard to ensure the team is back challenging for the title and trophies next season."

Manchester United's absence from the Champions League next season will cost the club £30m, says the club's executive vice chairman Ed Woodward, though he insists it will not affect their transfer business.
'Due to the television deals, we estimate our loss of European football will cost us in the mid £30m.
'The club's expectations are to absolutely get back into the Champions League and you'll see it in the transfer market.'

Speaking in a telephone conference he added: 'The 2013-14 season we finished a very disappointing seventh which means we will not play European football season.
Be assured everyone at the club is working to ensure next season is to the top standards of Manchester United.
'We made a managerial change in April, we are very grateful to Ryan Giggs for holding the reins during the period and the exemplary manner he conducted the role. We are now focused on bringing in a manager and expect an announcement in due course.'
United announced January-March revenues of £115.5m, up 26percent. The third quarter results show debt is down 4.3percent to £351.7m.
Woodward said: 'Everyone at the Club is working hard to ensure the team is back challenging for the title and trophies next season.'

Meanwhile, United have reported record revenues for the third quarter of the financial year which club chiefs say puts them in a good position to invest in the squad and challenge for the title next season.
The Red Devils have reported revenues of £115.5million for the quarter, up 26 per cent, mainly due to rises in income from Premier League broadcasting money and sponsorship deals.
The financial picture for United’s current season looks rosy - sponsorship income rose 43.5 per cent while United’s overall debt is down 4.3 per cent at £351.7million, while the cost of servicing that debt also fell - there was a £2.8million reduction in interest payable following refinancing in June last year.

Broadcasting revenue for the third quarter was £35.6million, an increase of £13.9million or 64.1%, due to increased revenue from the Premier League.
It will be this time next year however that the impact of not playing in the Champions League will be felt, though there will also be extra income from United’s huge Chevrolet sponsorship deal which comes on stream next season.

Ed Woodward reveals Man United will lose over £30m for failing to qualify for Champions League as vice-chairman admits club's goal is to reach Europe next season

Yadayadayada. Who's fault was it in the beginning? Endless pursuit of Cesc Fabregas, Thiago, Baines etc and ended up with a miserable Fellaini when we could've paid 21mil rather than 27mil for him. So if there is anyone to blame, I would blame Woodward too. Moyes is one thing, Woodward is another.

yup. Ed Woodward is a finance man. not a football man

so how come "finance man" pay 27m instead of 21m for afro? 
mebbe he isn't as smart as we expect

More like he is good at counting beans and securing sponsorship deals.

Not so good in effectively negotiating with clubs or snagging players at good prices.

Side-note: Wow so many of the dutch WC 30 are from Feyenoord. They must have a hell of a youth setup or scouting network there.

rvp come from feyenoord youth team...actually dutch team always produce good young player especially ajax n psv...
