Rabiot deal is off 

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/62464414

I hear Adi Akinfenwa isn't up to much these days, might be worth a shot

[rossipersempre]

So Rabiot’s mum says no, and they turn their (unrequited) attention to Casemiro.

Another day, another level of utter delusion for Manchester United.

[End Product]

Zoe ball turned me down ? Ok, lets text margot robbie then.

[DelTrotter]

Trying to give Casemiro a career high pay day for by far his worst years is classic Manchester United.

Rabiot deal is off 

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/62464414

They've made a rod for their own backs with some of the contracts they've handed out in recent years.  Ronaldo at £500k/week; De Gea, Sancho and Varane at £300k+/week; Fernandes, Martial, Rashford and Maguire at £200k+/week.  Rabiot already earns £175k/week at Juve so it stands to reason he's going to want a contract that puts him amongst those players - a salary his talent really does not justify.

Them apparently switching to Casemiro is very funny.  What could they possibly offer as an incentive to a player starting for the reigning European and Spanish champions?  Erm... oh yeah, money!!  Around and around and around we go.

Roy Keane approached by United for key Midfield Role


Keane (26 according to his mum), said he was 'intrigued' and 'excited' with the prospect of towering over tiny centre back Martinez who is struggling to get more than 2 inches off the floor for corners.

"I think I've still got a lot to offer and I'm obviously better than most of the players at United and could certainly deliver a few kick to the balls of players called Ronaldo not pulling their weight."

United Manager Kim Twenty Hags enthused "He doesn't even wear shinpads in training. He can't fit them over his arthritic supports!"

Keane finished the interview by knobbling a cleaner and kicking a plumber out of a second floor window.

I had to comment on page 1000, a truly momentous occasion, just to say that I'm still truly enjoying their demise, now more than ever. I hope Liverpool put 4 or 5 past them, so they can mirror Arsenal's start last season and I can listen to Andy Goldstein on Talksport debating if Utd can get relegated like he did with us.

Especially after they gazumped us for Martinez and had us in the mud. It doesn't matter that we were only willing to pay £30M for him and play him at left back. Even writing that out, how did Ajax manage to wring so much money out of them? 

They really are a shambles, & long may it continue.

The Casemiro links are hilarious  As if a Real Madrid player would be willing to join them in their current state

[DelTrotter]

Supposedly want Pulisic on loan now, these are an utter shambles. Would also be hilarious if Chelsea were willing to loan him to them, shows their standing and how they are seen now.

[Ray K]

Looking to get Christian Pulisic on loan as he's not happy at Chelsea according to the Athletic.

I think this is a marvellous move and I can't see how this can fail. Sure the naysayers will complain that he's injured constantly, not that good, and plays in a position that they just got a high profile player in on a Bosman, but just think of the social media engagement  🤩

[Suareznumber7]

Never seen an attention seeker like Elon Musk.

Ronaldo?

[harleydanger]

The tiny CB is just funny. A very funny thing. Almost too funny.

[maxmoe]

Ronaldo?

Happy 1k posts Everybody! By the rate of us posting in this Thread. We might overtake the Gooners later. Just joined a few minutes ago and already paid my (silent) respect to the 97. YNWA.

[Drinks Sangria]

Pulisic who nominally plays the same position as homegrown favourite Marcus Rashford and £70m Jadon Sancho.

I actually think Sancho is quality, he just picked the worst move possible. Dreadful planning by him and his representation.

[JRed]

It is, although I would now expect him to play a blinder against us on Monday with Nunez being out.

Isn't he on more money than Salah?

But yeah,wrong career move if he wanted to improve himself and win things even if he's drowning in money now.

Football-wise, yeah. Financially he's on for a guaranteed £91m. So his agents haven't done too badly.

I don’t watch any Bundesliga, but on the (admittedly small) amount of times I’ve watched him he’s been utter garbage for Utd.

Actually he will suit playing against us on Monday .

Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo has said he will soon reveal "the truth" about his future after reading so many "lies" this summer.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/62573665

Love the drama.

[tubby]

The 'truth' will only be revealed once the window is shut, so it'll change depending on whether he gets out of there or not.

[Ghost Town]

So the Musk links are as shite as Musk Linx?

[BigCDump]

1000 pages! And it only started in 2020. We're obsessed! Going into meltdown in 3-2-1... 

Let's recap, in these 1000 pages we've seen three managers, zero titles/trophies*, nearly half a billion spent, a think tank and a partridge in a part tree.

* How the heck could I forget their DVD special Bangkok Cup?

Seconded.

It's glorious to see.

Although I had a Manc giving it loads on Monday cause we drew.

[Linudden]

More posts in this one than inhabitants in my hometown which still is five miles wide in most directions, rather impressive

[Cruiser]

1000 pages to commemorate the golden era of Utd becoming Championship material

Some #mufc players feel Ten Hag's approach does not suit their skill set and they would favour a more pragmatic approach against Liverpool [@samuelluckhurst]


I mean, we all knew it would happen, but who had 2 games in the 'When are United players going to start briefing against their manager to the press'?
I really thought he'd get to the World Cup break before this stuff began.

Bet he says something along the lines of he had an agreement with them to let him go if they don't get CL but obviously he absolutely loves the fans etc.

[Gerry Attrick]

Best thing about Ronaldo saga is he’s kicking up a fuss for what? Nobody wants him yet he’s trashing his reputation there for it.

[red1977]

I wish I could find the Jose and Ole versions to commemorate this day

  brilliant.

[thejbs]

I despise Elon Musk, but I have to admit his trolling of Man Utd was funny. Their share price even jumped after he said he was buying them.

[Ghost Town]

I wish I could find the Jose and Ole versions to commemorate this day

Here's Ole. I haven't got the Jose one - before my time, maybe?

While it's funny because it's them, I really cannot be arsed with people doing this. Announcing that they will be announcing something, what a load of shite, just announce it when you're ready, you don't have to let us know that you're going to! Like when players let us know that they will soon be announcing which club they're joining, absolutely pointless and just attention seeking.

Excellent! Was there one for Van Gaal and Moyes?
