I'm setting the O/U at 15m GBP for Antony


I would get rid of that clown for a bag of used soccer balls and a half pack of gum.

Apparently it's 25m EUR which is 21.6m GBP...over hits. That's not even counting the add-ons (3m EUR) and the 50% sell-on clause. That's the good news...

The bad news is, the parties are very far apart on his wages. He currently makes 6m a year. Betis have offered him 2m. If Antony wants to recoup the difference, they are insisting that United cover it. United don't intend to and at best would meet in the middle. He has another two years on his contract so it's not an insignificant amount of money.

It's all happening now...

Hojlund to Napoli for a "significant" loan fee and 44m EUR obligation to purchase if Napoli qualify for the Champions League. No mention of a "get out" clause ala Sancho/Chelsea.

Hojlund still hasn't agreed to the move though I imagine he will. Still, it's more than a little painful to watch United push away young players who actively want to play for United (Hojlund literally and Mainoo in practice by not actually playing him even though claiming to want him).

Can they afford a bag of used soccer balls and a half of a pack of gum?

Sesko once again not starting.

I just don't understand Casemiro over Mainoo. Just don't get it.

Well according to Amorim the only competition Manoo has is with an out of position Bruno.

Why is Onana listed as a substitute? Why is Onana still on the team?
Dre_00
How long do you want to ignore this user?
You know Onana is bad when you make an argument that a 40 yr old goalie that hasn't played a competitive game in 2+ years should be selected ahead of him and it be a legitimate argument.

Spent all that money on Sesko, Mbeumo, and Cunha when we really should have spent on own goal. He's our offensive star thus far.

Cunha off injured. Walked straight up the tunnel

Instead of moving Bruno up and bringing Kobbie in, or bringing Sesko on he bring on Zirkzee.

In real time it looked like a pulled hammy
Dre_00

I was thinking the same thing at first but I guess Cunha was playing as the nominal striker. His option was either to push Mbeumo into that role, Bruno into attacking mid, and bring on Mainoo, or bring on Zirkzee in a more like for like. Sesko is likely spent after 90 minutes and then cramping on Wednesday.

I don't really like it but I get it. It's less disruptive overall.

Amad is going to have to learn the finer points of playing in the middle third as a RWB rather quickly if he's going to be a legitimate fixture there. He's making decisions/errors there that aren't as amplified when you have a RB, RCB, and RCM behind you but are when you only have a RCB and a RCM with that runs like a 60 yr old.
Dre_00

He also needs to get better at shooting at empty nets

OK, these players are on the take. That's the only explanation at this point.

All too familiar...can't put a team away early and let them get back into the match.

Our own set pieces have been more dangerous than at any other time in recent memory.
Dre_00

Defending them still a problem of course.

20 minutes left as manager.

This is likely to be a bad result that no matter what will pile on the pressure but…Amorim has been extremely unlucky. Should have been 3-0 before Burnley scored on their first chance of the game.

Yeah the FG in this game is going to be something like 4-1

No doubt. But let's be honest. It's the right decision to do it. Whatever this is, it's not working. And dragging it out any longer isn't going to fix it. The next matches are city, Chelsea and Brentford. They are staring at 0-4-2 after 6. 2 whopping points. They will be in a regulation slot. Why wait until then?

To be clear, I don't know that a change in manager will matter. The players just are not very good. But they are better than this.

Holding is the one foul that continues. It's not where it starts.

Amorim may get a lifeline.

Listening to the radio they are flabbergasted it's given because it starts outside.

But if it continued inside it's a PK. It's the only foul that is not a point of contact foul.

I wouldn't have let Bruno take it but it worked.
