As the world's biggest and richest club, Manchester United reach a global fanbase.

Part of the attraction for fans around the world has been the football luminaries, such as George Best and Sir Bobby Charlton, who have graced the Old Trafford turf in a Manchester United shirt over the years.

Recently, Manchester United have continued to attract or develop some of the game's biggest names, with England stalwarts such as Paul Scholes and David Beckham having been regular fixtures in the Reds line-up.

The Manchester United team, past and present, reads like a who's who of world football.

It is only fitting that a great team should grace a great stadium. And with Old Trafford's recent development and the closure of Wembley, the ground is easily the largest in English football, holding in excess of 60,000 fans.

Despite this capacity, the demand to see United in action is so great that tickets are hard to come by.

But it isn't only Manchester United fans who flock to Old Trafford. The standard of the ground is such that it regularly hosts high-profile games, most notably, the Champions League Final and Great Britain rugby league games.

Rock fans have also made use of the Reds's facilities, watching a number of high-profile acts at the ground.

But it's football that will forever be synonymous with the Reds famous ground - and with good reason.

The last decade has seen Manchester United under the shrewd leadership of Sir Alex Ferguson maintain a virtual stranglehold on the Premiership crown.

Manchester United has won the league no fewer than 18 times in their history. They are also Cup Kings too, winning the FA cup 11 times, the league cup 4 times, as well as winning the European Super Cup, European Cup Winner's Cup, and 3 times being crowned European Cup champions.

Manchester United has long become a name associated with success both on and off the pitch.

As club profits continue to grow, Manchester United have become one of the richest sports clubs on the planet.

With supporters club branches on every continent, it's hard to go any where in the world and not see somebody wearing the famous red shirt of Manchester United.

Eriksen where are uu

Finally one signing...

Malaysia represent Manchester United! Eh Malacia 🤤

We wait until flowers also fall…

Waiting FDJ, Malacia, Martinez, Eriksen, Romero standing one line together with our new home kits next week

Very slow business deals
June was a fruitless month

This post has been edited by and85rew: Jul 2 2022, 08:52 AM

Got to admit, yes.

Many players linked to us just wait and see FDJ’s deal, if he is announced “Here We Go” then the rest will come. Eriksen and Martinez maybe thinking the same, who want to come here just to play alongside with McFred? Lol McFred are good as rotation or squad players.

Seems very hard to convince FDJ to come despite ETH is the manager and Barca is in huge financial trouble until that recent deal.

United still unable to clear surplus players due to high wages offered by woodward. Seems this cycle will not break till their contract ends

FDJ basically done deal, 65M agreed, now only discussing the 20M add on clauses. FDJ busy proposing to his gf yo, so maybe next week will discuss the contract with MU, BUT if the personal deal cannot settle, Chelsea will step in for hijacking game. They are monitoring

Barca need to clear off his 275k/week wages to make room for Kessie and Christensen registration

Our deadwood hard to sell off cuz many of them holding huge wages

This post has been edited by beck_ken: Jul 2 2022, 11:00 AM

Part of our deadwood all high wages due to jogba. He set the ceiling and all want near that

Should be some one name Sanchez

Well he earned it right, can play piano for his own promotional video

It was Alexis that break the ceiling..
Back when Pogba was signed back to United form Juve he was 2nd highest paid behind Rooney..

The following season he was the highest at 290k per week.. after that Alexis came, 350k per week..
Then the following season De Gea renewed his contract for 375k per week..

De Gea remained the highest paid player at United until last season when CR7 took that spot..
Sancho at 3rd for 350k, followed by Varane at 340k..

Is it really Sanchez fault? Not really.. United got the option to refuse, same goes with De Gea contract renewal..

Sebab pogba also damn high, so sanchez use that as benchmark to make higher. Then all hairwire liao

Now news saying Chelsea wanna hijack us on FDJ. Goshh....

official

Chelsea are monitoring the situation. €65M already agreed, €20M add on still discussing plus FDJ personal terms not yet finalised

Welcome Lisandro Martínez?

Can you blame him? But that’ll be 510k off the wages per week.

tbh honest CR7 leaving will solve a lot of problems for us ....

and we shouldnt have signed him ...

p/s: I'm not gonna deny that he contributed alot last season but he also threw the squad/formation balance off right away ...

I doubt its real but come on man ...we talk as if its our own money, we already free up 1 mil a week with all the free transfers out, and now we want to let the biggest commercial name in the game as well as a club icon and arguably the best player from last season to go AND you're ok with it? I rather we overpay for players rather than it going out to the Glazers.

Probably because he knows that Maguire will keep the armband and United cant match his ambitions..

Hope keep it real and tell all if he leaves..

But the best lol of the day, United fans worrying about money spent on wages.. Glazers must be lovin it

Cant even sign a midfielder after 1month nego..... If Ronaldo leave now, which striker to sign? Nego again 1 month ? Got budget or not...

What’s wrong with you? Name calling me for just stating my opinion?

It’s widely known we sign Ronaldo not to improve our squad but to prevent City from signing him

Then Ole or the team has to accommodate to his playstyle (although it may not suitable to the team).

You play him then ppl gonna question his work rate despite the goals he bring (cue City and Liv for the modern pressing game)

If you don’t play him then manager will be bombarded by the media

A world class square peg (Ronaldo in this case) may not be the best answer for ppl who has round holes.

Fans who don’t acknowledge bout this issue is no better than fans who speak out since you’re just allowing the “rot” to continue with all questionable decisions

Barca President is extremely selfish and respecting no one.

He is basically disrespecting 2 clubs that are doing business with them, and both players involved as well.

FDJ deal is almost done, but he is denying.
Stating he want to stay.
In the end, when FDJ come, it will certainly bring bad image.

Rapinha deal is extremely far from being done.
Leeds even already claimed they only accept Chelsea offers for now, but he still claims the player himself wanna go Barca.
In the end, if the player go to Chelsea, will bring bag image as well.

For me, he is another Raiola.
Sorry but not sorry.

Asking players to reduce wages, not paying some more.
Respecting no one, say whatever he wanna say just for own benefits.
I have respect toward Barca in Messi, Xavi, Iniesta era.
Not now, certainly not.

With this president, I think they are on the road from being one of the most respected club, to one of the most hated club in no time.

if the goat want to leave, then let him go.
lets rebuild with maguire

I dont even know where or how to start judging how delusional you're.

But let's just say you're right.

My bad for calling you toxic.

Hail to Glazer, for the past 6 years Glazer took $134 MILLION POUND and the debt remains around $500 MILLION POUND

Well Done Glazer, FDJ might not come to United, Ronaldo wanted to leave. This is getting ridiculous

Ole is not setting the team to accommodate Ronaldo, the team is shit from the beginning. No top striker is able to play with this team not even Lewandowski, Haaland on that shit team


Counterattack with 6 players at the back to cover The Maguire of Fridge slow pace and hoping Ronaldo to do magic week in and week out.


No ball deliver to him, he needs to go way back at defender in order to collect the ball up front


Those Mc Fred are clueless getting play week in and week out while the decent player like VDB is on the bench for almost a whole season


If want to talk about 2nd place of Ole, liverpool no Van Dijk for almost a whole season and Spurs with an injury crisis, Chelsea is under Lampard and United at that time no injury crisis.

Half true, bcoz towards end of the 2020/2021 season, opponents started to find out United tactics (counter and hope for player magic moments?)

If you're talking about pressing, CR press more than Rashford. Real or Benzema did not press that hard but they won league and CL.

Ole just get lucky 2nd due to Tottenham/Chelsea/Liverpool/Arsenal have issues (injuries/manager changes). After VAR and rules change, Bruno become more average and keep on whining/losing balls.

They started to demonize CR7 now.. saying he destroyed Ole-ball..
Lol still clinging on to the worst Cardiff manager ever..
The best goal scorer in the world with 32 trophies was bad signing for United?..

Wth, cr7 leave means he either see eth sux after training or no hope with board transfer. Now fdj deal not moving. Really shitty board.

All I know is we have a top dog transfer negotiator / director of football that has been working 6-10 (we could have heard wrongly, it maybe only 4 hours per day), 16 hours a day sign ETH’s by now magical and mythical transfer list. By this we have managed to spend a stupendous €15M!

The entire French league is quaking at our ability to hijack deals, provided it is cheap enough in the first place. Everyone and anyone cannot make a transfer bid without MUFC adding €1 and topping them.

So eventually, we will have won the league by spending soo little, going the way of Leicester rather than Liverpool or MC (shame on them for spending, shame on SAF for spending to win).

All we have to do now is wait 2 seasons for Barca’s deluded president to decide / remember / conclude that they actually want to sell a critical player we may or may not need, for a price they for sure do not apparently need, who says that he was already playing for his boyhood dream team and never intended to leave at the first place.

If you guys think CR7 is wrong to attempt to force us into transfer activity, remember that when he came back he found even the swimming pool of The biggest team on earth to be worst than when he left 10+ years ago. Only by threatening and complaining that they eventually raised some funds (maybe crowd sourced) to fix it so that he can get back to maintaining his fitness, so that he actually scored 28 goals….

If we didn’t have Cristiano last year we would’ve been stuck in bottom 10. Not that it mattered but whole season I only remember his solo goals and screamers as sweet memories. Don’t ever bash the real GOAT.

Not sure if you're referring to me (since I nvr bash CR7 for wanting to leave, merely stating that if he leaves it solves some existing problems/dilemma for the team) but here's my additional comment:

a world class player can be a bad signing ... if it disrupt the team's balance or doesn't really fit into a manager's philosophy or gameplay

Reports said that Ole nvr wanted to sign CR7 and it was the management/Woodward/SAF who bought him because they cant bear to see CR7 signed for the noisy neighbour.

Also, in the past I've always called out many times regarding Ole's capability (especially after the Europa Final).

Besides, RR also said that he has to tweaked the formation to accommodate Ronaldo since Ronaldo doesn't want play alone on top.

My stand is ... if he stays, good for the team since he is a serial winner + high standard with strong mentality and hunger (will be good role model for the youngster and new signings)

but if he wanna leave, let him go because:-

1) his heart is no longer here (and keeping unhappy player of his status can disrupt the dressing room harmony)

2) he is already old and we should really play with younger players for the future with rebuilding in mind

3) it can potentially gives more flexibility for the manager in tactics (again like I mentioned in my previous post that media gonna have a fun day questioning the manager if Ronaldo is dropped or substituted with excessive scrutiny)

4) frees up the wages


Club is always bigger than a player ... and I don't pretend that signing Ronaldo last season is all good without any disadvantages/flaws in bigger picture

This post has been edited by tzxsean: Jul 3 2022, 11:46 AM

It is fine and fair to debate, but think 3x, last season if we didn’t sign CR7, we would’ve have been playing with Masial and waiting for Cavani’s shadow to appear. Confirm we will be knee deep.

to be honest, if it's not for Greenwood's case, we would not be so barebone on top ..

but last season is gone, and we really should look forward now

we all have sentimental feelings towards CR7 if you've been a fan since then (I started following Man Utd since RvN era), but rationally we shouldn't really rely on 37 years old to carry us and use him sparringly (if he stays)

but we all know Ronaldo really focus alot on personal records and trophies (which smtg that the current Man Utd cant give now)

Half of it. They can sack all the Woodward’s macai and restore new people like Richard Arnold, Murtough to take charge but when you see the hierarchy, something was missing. Under DoF John Murtough, there is nobody. ETH can give him the list and Murtough will do all the negotiations but he alone certainly not enough. He should have a team under him, negotiators, football lawyers etc that help him thru all the transfer dealing but I can’t see any.

I can feel Ronaldo’s situation, he knows what is lacking in the team. Will he still want to play with the likes of Maguire, McFred and AWB without any new joiner?

CR7 is said to actually like ETH.
CR7 is not happy with the lack of transfers and the club is not pushing to build a competitive team for the coming season. He doesn't want to waste his remaining years playing in a team that has no hope of any trophies. He is disappointed with Manchester United's club performance in the rebuild.

https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/4693951/b...-jong-president

So let them rot then 🤣 can’t wait to see them bankrupt

bodoh transfer team too slow to sign fdj....now suddenly barca dont want to sell..🤦

Either barca trying to jack up price or they are ok after that 200m boost

Once they got 200m boost, the transfer stance will change. They are not desperate prior to that 200m deal.

If United add up another 10-20m upfront, blame the transfer team.

Sure got team under him la. Impossible only 1 ppl working. Just that those names maybe clocking 9-6 job ppl

Of course, it takes a team of people to sit around and wait for deals to done by others and then we just need to wait until other people submit some proposals, then we just up the bid.

May I ask, really, what on earth are this wonderful top crack team doing other than wait for others to act? Ethan hunt would’ve stolen FDJ’s registration papers by now. Honestly I am still ashamed by our handling of Sancho. And have been taken to school on this, losing time AND money in the process.

If you all tell me this is the best team / big boys / top money baller, then I also dunno what pipe we all smoking from.

Our club is a mess. Players sux, transfer team sux, board sux, coach sux, facilities sux. Everything need change

Even if they have 1B transfer budget still they need to sell. It’s the salary cap that set by La Liga. They still can buy Neymar, Lewan, Silva, Raphinha or even re sign Messi in one transfer window, they got no room for salary gap

So many buts and ifs. If only Cavani was not a homesick boy, if only he was even half as fit as the other old man Ronaldo.
But no, greenwood managed to derail his own career by focusing on allegedly raping his own girlfriend. Why can’t even have the decency to propose a marriage and do it like a responsible man?
No, Greenwood was playing at the start of the season and we all saw his star waned way before his case got any mention. Any player who is focused on allegedly raping his girlfriend would not be a great player or even a half decent one eventually.
Not at all MU’s fault but leaves us with our pants down in front had we not had CR7.

We could’ve signed someone better no doubt, but to say he is the source of our troubles or causing trouble for anyone (poor RR, lost his job because he had the best striker ever to manage…such a horrible job he had) is hands down a lousy way to thank Cristiano for single handedly carrying us last season.

I agree not to be a old folks home, and live on sentimentality alone. But it is a damn fact that last year he was by a long mile our top player and not even too frequently injured. He should be used sparingly, yes but not treated sparingly. He should be given ear and fully respected. How often has he actually complained about club management ? Way less than the other Argentine goat for sure. How much he can play should be managed by listening to him and his physical condition. It is my way of saying every time he puts on the shirt I have never felt let down, so much as I see any other player when they wear the shirt. When it is time for him to finally decide to down tools and sip pina colada, that is the time we let allow him to do it and not show him the door a day too soon.

Depends on the financial period
They can spend up to a portion depending on income

Opened football news portal... Our season seems to be over before it even started. Barca now saying not gonna sell FDJ, Ronaldo wanna leave, Antony too expensive to buy, the other 2 defenders Malacia and Martinez till now can't see shadows in Manchester also. At the same time, we actually not able to sell even a single player. SIGHHHHH. What the hell is going on with the management there..

Add..our fringe players on high wages and hard to offload them

Malacia flying to Manchester for first round medical today and tmr will going thru second level medical and reveal as first signing

Martinez, Ajax now want straight cash €50M

FDJ, that’s typical Laporta comment, remembered “we will keep Messi” comment? Ended up Messi was free and he joined PSG. And remembered 2002 when he ran for president seat? He said he will signed Beckham once he become president but that time we all know, he himself also know Beckham joining RM

For once I want to see Barca really went into liquidation and force to sell off all the players.

I always believe the final 20M add on discussion still on but it’s a bit hard, not as easy as few click at FM. Laporta just a dick trying to stir things up

This post has been edited by beck_ken: Jul 3 2022, 05:01 PM

confident FDJ and Martinez will sign.

jus wanna see who will replace Ronaldo up top

Always no doubt on FDJ, Laporta is an arse, not first time he did this kind of public stunt

I’m guessing the arrival of FDJ and Martinez will make Ronaldo to reconsider his departure.

If no then can consider Anthony again LOL

1. I do not know about his heart, never knew him personally..
But theres a reason why he wanted to leave, because United looking like dont have any ambition to win..
United did not do the actions of a club that hungry and want to be on top winning tophies..

2. Old doesnt mean that he is no longer a threat to the opponents..
There were few times he bailed United out last season in the CL..
Without his individual brilliance moments and goals, United could've been out druing the group stage..
This play young players for the future stuff.. future of what? winning trophies or competing for Europa League spot or top 10?
None of united young players are good enough.. the last one were class of 92..
Should United wait until they failed like Wellbeck, Eagles, Chadwick, Gibson, Cleverley, Januzaj, etc?

3. Ronaldo removes the tactical flexibility of the manager? yeah, for a mediocre ones like the worst manager ever for Cardiff City, Ole..
Any top manager in the world would want him in their team, Pep wanted him..
United manager should be able to handle the immense pressure that comes with the job.. they paid highly to do it..
Scrutiny from the media and public is a normal thing for a manager of a big club like United..
Why wanna shield and cuddle a grown ass man that get paid to do his high profile job?

4. United making average of 500m per season, wage is not an issue.. in fact they get more money with CR7 around

This post has been edited by silvertoes: Jul 3 2022, 07:36 PM

CR7 actually won us many games last season. Btw, FDJ transfer dragging again..aduh...

Does anyone at all think that we are being played by Barca? It’s like Laporta just threatening FDJ with being sold if he doesn’t want to resign a lower salary contract?

Laporta was a politician bro. The way he suddenly said that it’s part of his plan, it’s simple:

1. If FDJ join us, he can put the blame on FDJ by not reduce his salary

2. If FDJ reduce the salary, he will be hero

Both way he also a winner. To keep the fans happy and get more support, for future re election as president.

If Barca played us, why need to nego nego at the first place? Can straight said “nope, FDJ is not for sale”, they already know FDJ salary gap is very important for them to register Kessie, Christensen, Alonso (?), Raphinha (?)

Remembered Messi? Remembered Emerson?
He said he will do his best to keep Messi, did he? Ended up Messi joined PSG
He said Emerson was here to stay after signing new contract, 2 weeks later, he joined Spurs
Look back 2002 when he ran for president, his main manifesto was to sign Beckham when he get elected but that time Beckham already on his way to RM

I don’t trusted things coming out from Laporta, his political skills are same level like our own politicians

The same way as we ended up not getting Fabregas from Barcelona. Same as how Dembele is still at Barca too. Yes, they need to trim their salary bills. But perhaps using another club is a good idea to deliver this. I have an inkling that our noob transfer team is being taken for a ride, and ETH may have been too damn naive to only focus on 1 name.

Then i really hope Barca go bust. Can't wait to see them sell off Pedri and Ansu Fati. Probably their last two valuable players besides FDJ...

simple answer is - yes.

FDj saga will dragged and end up we got nothing. yes, we can still sign FDJ but not in this transfer window. ETH is stubbon which is good. so yeah, all out for FDJ and if we got nothing then just rebuild with mcfred and magelof , and without cristiano.

let ETh proof himself with this $hit team. give him a chance by supporting him until he got sacked by his own fans because he forced to play OLE ball.
OLE ball really fit this $hit team. play deep and counter. rashford can be our top scorer again. trust me.

without pogba, without matic, without cristiano, without greenwood

its going to be amazing season.

another day, another no FDJ day yet... lol.... and one mini signing which cant even make ronaldo stays... lol... martinez just pay ajax what they want la... 10mil to a club like man utd is small piece of cake saje... unless we wanna use the 10mil to sign another lesser known star... ronaldo 500k a week wage shud be able to get someone else for us... but then the good scoring stikers nowadays... limited edition... maybe can try belloti... younger good ones... the market doesnt seems like alot options...

did CR7 actually make the team worse?

the team didnt even play proper football the season before he come. just manage by getting the results huff and puff style by bruno and penalties. ole is just riding some good luck in terms of results via bruno and penalties.

since he joined, he actually become the top scorer by getting less chance than maguire with the ball forward.

eth deadline for signing is by 8 july.. today 4th already keks

ETH can blame monkeys at board when everything goes shiat

Ain't even mad that CR7 wants to leave. He only has probably about 2-3 more season left in him for him to gun for personal glory, and to be fair, Man Utd is not that place for him, unless he wants to hang around as an advisor + player to the squad.

board will fire him when we turn against the team (due to bad results)...and blame him for poor performance.

Then only 5 years later when NDA expire will he come out and say the board failed (again) to get his targets. [This is already happened, with Mou, LVG, even Moyes]

In the end, if we want him to stick around we have to stay quiet like sheep, then accept whatever the crap that is being dished out to us week in week out. Top 4 celebrate like mad.

Its like getting a world class conductor and but all your musicians are 2nd rate.

With this kind of transfer, ETH is bound to fail...

Unless under ETH magic existing players suddenly transformed and become good players, if not...

You know, if total demise is what it take for Glazers to let go of Man Utd, then so be it...The only silver lining if we don't do well later...

Just disappointed. Who can mad and blame him if he leave. We don't have proper environment for him to thrive. And already wasted a season with us.

But if he remained, then really salute. Macam buffon stick to juve when relegated.

The world and United best player opened the door for the manager and other players to speak out dissatisfaction on United's lack of ambition..

None of them come out.. looks like all of them ok with how things going on.. ETH looking like just another puppet..

CR7 the only one with winning mentality.. real winners like him dont wanna stick around with losers..

well they can accuse CR of being too ambitious
but at the same time little done when United paid dividend to Glazers yearly
save fund for what? to pay more to the glazers?

The fans also the same..

When CR7 press on the field: oh he's 37 cannot press for 90min

When CR7 press the board: oh he's 37 not for rebuilding

Glazers truly lucky to get this club..

Personally, I'll not lose any sleep if Ronaldo leaving, but I hope he will not go to PL rival. Chelsea often get it wrong when it come to striker these days, Ronaldo will improve them tremendously.

There are pro and con, and I wish the best outcome for him and us. I hope he go to Bayern Munich, just to prove he's absolutely the best. I'll be happy too if he stay.

Ronaldo news really weird, he said he wanted to play UCL. He already knew that MU another going to play UCL during April and he really really want to play for UCL, he could have request to leave when EPL ended in May, why now only said want to play UCL football? Now no matter how he wants also UEFA can’t squeeze a place for us. He knew that early.

Now 3 teams interested on him:

1. Napoli - really? Serious? They can provide him UCL football but Napoli will never be Serie A contender this season, the Milans and Juve are teams to beat

2. Chelsea - UCL football but can feed him EPL cuz City by far still the best team in EPL now. Join Chelsea will just tainted his image as MU “legend”

3. Bayern - very possible considering direct replacement for Lewan if he is leaving for Barca. UCL football, one of the fav, Bundesliga guarantee winner.


If we able to sign FDJ, Martinez, Eriksen with confirmed arrival of Malacia and possible Pau if we have extra cash, this maybe, probably can make Ronaldo to stay.

Players nowadays have PR team to maintain image while having agent working in the background …

When news are broken, it’s usually a power move from the player to force the club

It’s normal these days and don’t even once fully accept the reasons given

PR moves on demonizing CR7 in full force now..
Allowing Glazers escape the spotlight of scrutiny again..

lol biar je la... takkan u expect the fans go burn the club stadium just to show them whose fault on why ronaldo wanna leave... haha

CR7 is well within his rights to move. The club hasn't exactly strengthened in the summer transfer window so far while our rivals have. CR7 will continue to be one of the best performing players in a mediocre team and that doesn't look to be changing in the footballing side. Mediocre teams do not win anything.

He has kept his side of the bargain with the performances he put in. Manchester United has not met expectations with him, nor the fans.

Wherever he goes, if he does, I'll keep an eye out for that team to watch their games.

Have not seen many ppl demonise CR7 for wanting to leave

General consensus is if he wants to leave, let him go and dont “imprison” him

However, some ppl just wanna stick labels onto fans who agree with the club to sell CR7 (if the club wanna sell)

Should be he same level of response towards ESL..
The amount of power if the fans and ETH on CR7 side, can force the Glazers to spend..

Missed opportunity again.. oh well

Cincai say only, takkan say, I pretty sure will be trophiless season again.

If he go, I hope he go bayern or psg. Then can win another country league title.

If chronology rumour correct, he say will stay if eth wants him. Eth wants him obviously. Now dunwan stay, very obvious he disappointed with team transfers.

If we get 4-5 new players, maybe he will stay

However, reports on Monday claimed that it was United that considered Ronaldo's future earlier this year.

According to The Athletic, former interim manager Ralf Rangnick wanted to sell Ronaldo during the January transfer window as the forward was hindering what he was trying to implement at the club: a high-pressing side.

Rangnick reportedly asked football director John Murtough and chief executive officer Richard Arnold, via several emails and messages, to consider selling the Portuguese superstar as he felt convinced the No 7 wasn't a part of the club's long-term plans.
