Manchester United transfer news and club drama, focusing on Alejandro Garnacho’s alleged “Chelsea” signals and the ongoing race to sign RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko. Also discussed: possible goalkeeper/striker priorities and a stalled Old Trafford regeneration land deal involving Freightliner.
None. The episode is hosted by “United Stand” (Del is referenced as a caller/commenter; other audience members comment via chat).
Not applicable (no named guests).
Garnacho is portrayed as disrespectful and “booted out” by Ruben Amorim, using Instagram likes (including Fabrizio Romano posts about Chelsea) as “power play” while Chelsea fans are skeptical. For Sesko, the host claims negotiations hinge on Sesko/agent and Leipzig, with a “gentlemen’s agreement” that could reduce Leipzig’s price to 70–80m euros plus add-ons if Sesko names a “special” club. Newcastle and Man United are both waiting; the agent’s presence in Leipzig is framed as a delay cause.
Garnacho liking Fabrizio Romano posts about Xavi Simons and Chelsea; Newcastle’s 75m euros + add-ons offer; Sesko still “50-50” publicly; Freightliner land dispute (reported 400–500m vs United valuation 40–50m).

0:28Hello everybody, good morning and welcome to the United Stand. We'll be talking about what Ganacho has done. My laptop has suddenly decided to take off. It's not even hot in the UK. And I think it's actually going to elevate it in front of me at the moment. Hopefully that's going to calm down. Bloody hell. You're not even bloody streaming, mate. I'm using that one. That's not done this in years. Is it going to calm down? Incredible stuff. You're literally not doing anything I've only got a browser open The other computer's looking at you And it's embarrassed for you mate But what are you doing?
1:08This is like when we used to play football manager Let's calm down now Yeah, calm down Anyway, yeah, like we were saying Yeah, Gannaccio's done it again He's been liking posts on Instagram About going to Chelsea So, yeah, we'll talk about that A few other bits as well Inanna, Rasmus Are the situations similar? But I want to start off on a positive here. And I want to say this. I genuinely do think that when we're looking at what's going on with Manchester United and what's going on with Ganaccio and when we're looking at what's going on with Sesco, there is a positive here. I can't, I can't, why is my screen so bright?
1:51This is really weird Hopefully it's going to go back now I'm sorry, I've just gone live And how do you make your screen brightness go down? I can't deal with this My whole computer's just messing up here I can't deal with this Display settings, I'm not very There must be quick key Yeah, it's gone up, the brightness has gone up Get down Bloody hell That's like, I was going to have a bloody migraine I don't want a migraine on Sunday Rage baiters and all that that's better i don't know what that was all about it starts taking off and then wax the brightness up don't you just love it say eyes taking over the world did that on purpose that did alt and f4 well skinny days and everyone else saying that well done toxic sunday started already with the um the laptop thank you okay so look i want to start off on a positive even though the laptop doesn't.
2:43As much as Ganaccio is an absolute prat, he's a turbo prat. He's like my laptop. He's on turbo, he's noisy, and he's a prat. As much as he is a prat, I actually choose to take the positive route. I think in the past, maybe I'd be ranting and raving. And what are we ranting and raving about here? Well, Fabrizio Romano has put a post up about Xavi Simons and Ganaccio to Chelsea, and Ganaccio has liked it. Now, it's not as bad as walking around in a Villa shirt, but it's to absolutely turbo prat behavior. You are a Manchester United player. You've blocked me on Instagram because I told you on Instagram and who am I to tell him?
3:18But I replied to his Villa one and said, you know, show some bloody respect to the fans that have backed you. Blocked me for that. So I can't even see if he's liked it, but shout out to Mauds and everyone else who told me he did. So he's already been told once by a load of fans that you're showing no respect to the fans that have backed you, but he doesn't care. Look, you know what? I love Ruben Amarin. I'm not even going to get angry about Gannaccio. Whether you go for 35, 45, 40 loan, you're gone. You're out. You're out because you've been booted out, mate. You got dropped in a Manchester derby in December because the manager dropped you and you're getting sold because the manager's selling you.
4:03So you can be acting all Billy Big bollocks liking posts on Instagram and walking around in a Villa shirt, but you've been sold by Man United and we finished 15th. This is the worst Man United side in Premier League history and you're being booted out of it. So how embarrassing is that? So you can sit at home thinking you're it, do an Instagram post because Chelsea want you, and maybe you will be a good player at Chelsea, but you don't have the power, mate. You got booted out. Amorim doesn't want you. He's kicking you out. And you can try and play the power play and, oh, Chelsea want me, Chelsea want me.
4:38I'm not surprised Chelsea want you. You're a very talented player. You're a very talented player. But you've been booted out by a Man United because Amarim doesn't want you. So I think, you know what, like all the posts you like, you know, get yourself down classic football shirts and buy as many shirts as you like. You could, you know, you could wear a bill and one on Monday, put in on an Arsenal one on Tuesday, Chelsea on Wednesday, and on Thursday and Friday I went Middlesbrough away. You know, you can wear whatever you want. But the positive is here. There is no power play. It's not Ronaldo walking off.
5:09You know, it's not Ronaldo doing a Piers Morgan. This is a very, very Timo version. This is a Wish version. This is a BTEC version. This is not Piers Morgan time with Ronaldo. This is I'm liking posts on Instagram because I'm banned from training with the first team and I've been booted out of Man United. and look to be fair most Chelsea fans I see really aren't sure about it they're almost going well you know we'll back our club on this we've had some very good transfer windows we'll back the club and we'll support the club and we'll support Ganaccio but Chelsea fans aren't falling over backwards for this of course they're gonna back him because rivalry kicks in and you know that's football I get that they're gonna they're gonna be like oh he wants to come to Chelsea this that and the other but trust me he ain't leaving Man United on a high he ain't leaving Man United to go to a bigger club.
5:57He's being booted out. It's not Ronaldo to Real Madrid. This is, you're out of our football club. Get out. And what he's trying to do is go, yeah, but look at me, I'm going to a better club. And Chelsea is a better club than Man United at the moment. But that's not what the story is. You're being booted out. That's what's happening. Chelsea were interested in him in January. He didn't want to go. He didn't want to go. He wanted to stay. The only reason he wants to go now is because he's getting booted. So beyond all the inflammatory stuff of wearing Villa shirts and liking posts about going to Chelsea, don't forget the real winner, Ruben Amrim.
6:38You're not part of my team. Get out. You are banned from pre-season. Stay away. You will not play for Man United anymore. You are out. And he may well grow up and build a career at Chelsea. And I really do hope he does grow up because I think there is a player there. But we've got to say, without a shadow of a doubt, fair play to everybody who spotted it over the last two years, because I certainly didn't. I got lost in the talent. What an absolute prat, surrounded by people who have advised him terribly. And he better grow up at Chelsea, because I tell you what, if I was a Chelsea fan, I'd be like, I'm not making that mistake of, oh, look at his behaviour and he won't behave like that with us.
7:21I mean, there are so many warning signs. I ignored them. I mean, he even liked one of my posts when he got subbed off. And at the time, I was sort of like, well, even I said, I don't think he should be doing it. You know, I wasn't flattered by it. But there are so many mistakes. And at the moment, the only team Ganacho plays for is Team Ganacho. So that's a warning to Chelsea. And we've seen it. I don't even care about this rot in the reserves. I don't care. I actually, I understand people saying rot in the reserves. but actually I think, you know what? Don't rot in the reserves. Just get rid.
7:59Cut your losses. What's the point? It's a negativity. It's a toxicity. Just cut it loose. Get rid of it. If we get 30 million, we get 30 million. If we get 40 million, we get 40 million. Just get rid of it. I know a lot of people are like, yeah, let him rot in the reserves. He doesn't win. He doesn't win. He's trying to win, but he doesn't win. We win. The manager wins because he doesn't want him. I don't think the manager, Ruben Amrim, is sat there today out in Atlanta going, oh, I only win if we get 45 million. The club will want as much money as they want. That's fine. But I think Amrim's like, I don't give a shit.
8:37Just get rid of him. Get him out. I don't want him anywhere near this football club. I don't want to have to deal with him near this football club. So look, I'm not ranting and raving. It's massively disrespectful. again it's knobhead behavior if we're being completely blunt not because look he might have a valid reason to not like amram he might have a valid reason to not like the glazers or sir jim radcliffe or whatever but what these people don't realize is because they live in a bubble and what chelsea fans will realize is it's what you do to the fans and if i was a chelsea fan i'd be laughing going ha ha ha he's disrespected united fans but deep down i'd be going can we trust him not to do that to us and imagine he goes to Chelsea and does really well and Real Madrid come knocking he's going to be wearing a Real Madrid shirt liking posts from Fabrizio to Real Madrid shitting on Chelsea and that's coming down the road so I don't know where I don't know how Chelsea win on this either either flops or he does really well and he fucks you over but that's coming down the road for you in two or three years time unless he grows up um and there's no indication that he is going to grow up is there because he hasn't even learnt from the Villa shirt thing he's gone and liked another post.
9:45So the problem is yours. Off you go. Up to you. And I would just say, get rid. Simple as that. Move on. And all I will say before we start talking about Sesco again is well done, Ruben Amrim. I just sit here going brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. You've burnt him so much. You've absolutely got him on toast. Ganacho on toast for Amrim. He's liking fucking Romano posts on Instagram. You've won. You've already won. You've already won. Anyway, can't wait for the season to start, says Del. Have a great day, everyone. Thank you very much, Del, for that. I think the club is making good progress so far.
10:21Get rid of the poison like Rashford, Ganacho and Sancho. Bright light at the end of the tunnel, says Tom Hartley. Thank you very much for that. Emily Derry says the ego has taken over the talent with Ganacho. He will come nowhere near his idols unless this petulant stops, because soon the only teams who will want him will be desperate and in trouble. Bruno publicly talked about, despite his talent, Ganacho had attitude problems removing players like that is something we have to do uh to progress as patrick what if chelsea's offer is too low says united nick i'd probably take it if we get sesco does that block izak to liverpool says rahul i don't really care i don't really care um it's a byproduct of what we actually need which is a striker all my jackson stuff and we sign ganacho karma says ryan hopefully this goalkeeper situation is resolved quickly andy thomas the second choice goalkeeper for seattle Sounders is better than Unana, says Vinny.
11:12Midfield should be a priority, not a striker, says Phil. The VPN making a racket, Marks is crying, Scotsman. Arsenal knew what they were doing, saying Sesco was too expensive. What was someone smoking, says Mike JW. I don't understand the context of that. Viva Ganacho got to the kid's head, says Michael Speaks. Can't wait for the season to start. Have a great day, says Del. OK, well, let's talk Sesco because there are some updates coming in, actually. And I think the most significant update I'm going to give you is not actually from a journalist. I think there's a bit of a twist here that we are probably not aware of, but I think that many Arsenal fans are.
11:47So look, first and foremost, this is what Fabrizio has said around United. And I just want to repeat his direct quote from a few days ago about this special agreement. He said, there's a gentleman's agreement between Sesko and Leipzig that if he tells Leipzig there's a club he considers special, then the price will drop to 70 to 80 million euros and 5 million to 10 million in add-ons which is effectively what Newcastle offered. Newcastle offered 75 million euros plus 5 million in euros add-ons and that got rejected so maybe maybe he hasn't said that I mean I don't know how that works. Surely Sesco if he wants to go is going to say it's special.
12:29Anyway quite an update here from Fabrizio overnight, early hours of this morning, actually. He says, Newcastle sent a bid to Leipzig, which was rejected, but negotiations are ongoing and Newcastle is prepared to pay whatever it takes. There's a lot of talk about big bids, accepted and rejected, but it's all about Sesco and what he will say. When he says, I want to go to this club, then the story will take a clearer direction. Bids at the moment don't actually make a difference. Newcastle will pay whatever is needed if Sesco picks them. Man United are prepared to bid and start negotiations if sesco decides to join them um late on saturday night sesco still hadn't made his mind up we are entering important stages i can add two faxters to this story says fabrizio the agent of sesco is now in leipzig to speak directly with the player and to help negotiations with rb leipzig he's now with the player and we're entering decision time for sesco he traveled there today after closing a different deal in the last 24 hours his full focus is now on the sesco situation.
13:30So it looks like the agent might have been a bit of a holdup actually, because he hasn't been there until now. So that obviously is the cat out the bag on why Fabrizio has been talking about it being a few days. It's not really about decision making, it's about the agent not being there. So the agent's there now, we can expect some progress. The other factor is that Man United told Leipzig again on Saturday that they will send a bid for Cesco if the player opens the door to joining them. So United are not going to bid until they get the go ahead from Sesco. Manchester United called again tonight to tell Leipzig that they are prepared to come and bid for Sesco.
14:04Man United feel like Sesco is still deciding and has not decided he's going to New Castle. 24 hours ago, there were reports from Slovenia that Sesco had decided to go to New Castle. He hasn't decided yet. It is still 50-50 between New Castle and Manchester United. So look, a long update there um but i think that for whatever reason and we spoke about this last night it's 50 50 um sky is saying that he's leaning towards manchester united and i i think we all feel that um i think the david ornstein update without saying that suggests that i think that Manchester United are, without a shadow of a doubt, the sort of club that likes to be in a one-horse race for transfers.
14:52My belief is that we feel that we're going to win this race. And I feel that we're going to win this race. And I might be completely wrong here. And Keith might be there with his Newcastle scarf going up the Toon. And not because he's an Ella Toon fan, because he's a Newcastle fan. And I think that, you know, Newcastle fans are desperate to get this deal done and that will be reflected by the club that are also desperate to get this deal done. So I think all those things are completely valid and I'm not going to deny that. But I just feel that, and I have felt this since the field and the David Ornstein bomber, that when it comes out that Man United want to sign Sesco, I think United have done all the background work and part of that background work will be an indication that he wants to come to Man United.
15:39So I believe he will come to us, but the story is publicly, it's 50-50 at the moment. And why is the delay? Well, I don't think the delay is actually, oh, I don't know whether I want to wear black and white or red. I don't know whether I want to go Newcastle. I don't think it is that. I think it's actually something far more sinister. I think it's financial. I think it's the agent. I think it's Leipzig. I actually think that it's a very technical deal to do. And the twist for me actually came from, and I've got to shout out AFC Gunner, Mike, who sent me all this. Arsenal fan who watches the United stand, he said, look, I just want to send you some stuff that was going on around Arsenal.
16:23When we were negotiating with him, it was really difficult. There's an account called Hand of Arsenal, who he says is very well briefed on Arsenal transfers. and basically these are some of the quotes that came out during negotiations with Arsenal and Sesco Sesco's agent left Arsenal club insiders with their jaws dropping over his shenanigans one insider said he presented Sesco as messy they effectively made it very very difficult for Arsenal to do deals with them on top of that the CEO of Leipzig was talking about 90 million euros and there was constant moving of the goalposts um so effectively arsenal had a really rough ride trying to negotiate a deal for sesco and i don't think i mean some arsenal fans wanted sesco i think arteta wanted sesco for a long time but there is a story there that we're probably not aware of from a united point of view we might have some arsenal fans here who know more about it but they faced real issues doing a deal for sesco um and look maybe maybe leipzig and maybe sesco's agent pushed that because they thought they were going to get the move to arsenal maybe they'll learn from that and go we didn't get the move to arsenal we've got to get a move now so it doesn't necessarily go against us but this is going to be a difficult transaction like it is going to be difficult Leipzig are stuck on a price which I think is just about borderline too much and then you've got to deal with the agent as well who is in a brilliant position because he's got two clubs and so are Leipzig so I think he will end up being a Man United player but it's almost in everybody's interest and this is what this is I mean I wanted to give a bit of a background there.
18:24But my take on it is people don't really understand why Sesco is 50-50 on Newcastle and Man United. I don't think he is. I don't think he is 50-50 on Man United or Newcastle because I don't think he'd be 50-50 on Liverpool or Arsenal. I don't think he'd be 50-50 on Tottenham or Brighton. How can you be 50-50? Who's 50-50 on two clubs? He won't be 50-50. He will have a preference. He will have a preference, whether it's 60-40, 70-30. He will have a preference. But what I think this is all about is that he is putting it out there that he's 50-50. because if we're completely honest, it's in everybody's interest, the agent, Leipzig and Sesco to keep Newcastle or Man United in the race.
19:13Because the more it's two clubs, the more you're going to earn, the more agent fee, the more wages, the more transfer fee, the more sign-on fee. If you've got two clubs in the race, you know, it's like me. If I want to sell my house, and I've got two people who want to buy it and one of them, I really want to sell it to them. But the other one is offering a better price. I'm not going to sell it cheap. I'm going to get the person I want to sell it to, to get as high as I can. And I think that's all that matters, uh, in relation to what's going on at the moment. I think we're just, I don't think it's 50-50 based on football.
19:56I think it's about using the two clubs to get the best out of it. And I don't have a problem with that, by the way. I'm not criticising Leipzig. I'm not criticising Sesko and I'm not criticising his agent because I would have done the same in the same situation. But the minute Sesko says, I only want Man United, your commission, your wages and your fee drop. So why would you do that just because Sesco wants to go to Man United? What do I benefit from as his agent by saying publicly he only wants Man United? Man United haven't even bid yet. Leipzig will be saying to Sesco, don't say you want Man United because they haven't bid yet.
20:36They might bid less than what Newcastle are going to bid. His agent will be saying to Sesco, don't say you want Man United yet because your wages, signing on fee and contract won't be as good if we keep Newcastle in the race. I think people have missed the ball on this. I think people are talking about 50-50 and Newcastle fans and Man United fans are talking about the project, Champions League, this, that and the other. I think this is basic business. You keep both people in the race and get them to show their cards and push their money up. But United aren't doing that, apparently. So, look, I think it comes down to money.
21:09We have just had a tweet come out from Ben Jacobs, who says that Newcastle are prepared to improve their£75m plus£5m offer to Leipzig with optimism and a fee and structure can be agreed. Fixed fee already meets Leipzig's valuation. Manchester United also held talks with Leipzig on Saturday evening. Both clubs waiting on Sesco's decision, which is now expected quickly. Newcastle now feel in a position to move fast on the club to club side. Man United yet to place any formal bid, but one will be forthcoming if Sesko gives the green light and Leipzig are aware. So look, again, very, very similar update to what we've been getting, apart from the fact that Newcastle will keep pushing on club to club side and we're about to get a decision very soon.
21:56So it could be today. We might get it today. We might get it tomorrow, but it looks like we're going to get it very, very quickly. But as I said, I think it's in everybody's interest to keep two clubs involved until a point where you don't need to get two clubs involved. And maybe we're about to approach that because maybe Newcastle's terms have been reflected by Man United because we know Man United have had personal terms conversations with Sesco's people. So once we hit what Newcastle are offering personal terms wise, then I think at that point it really doesn't matter. They can come out publicly.
22:34So maybe the agent now being there, we can start to move. But I still think he's going to sign for United. I'm not worried. As we said yesterday, I'm not panicked. I mean, all we're hearing about Newcastle is club to club. All Newcastle are doing is, in many ways, look, it does work like this sometimes. You used to ask, look, I did it when I got married. I rang up Mrs. Goldbridge's dad and said, I'd like to marry your daughter. He said, no, I still did it. But, you know, it's nice to ask. but in many ways it's a little bit like that isn't it all Newcastle are doing is asking permission to somebody who doesn't really make the decision like Leipzig obviously could keep him but if he doesn't want to go to Newcastle it doesn't really matter what Newcastle do with Leipzig do they so I'm not concerned about bids with Newcastle as Ben Jacobs said that's club to club stuff what actually matters is Sesco we're not bidding because we want we're not going to bid until we know whether sesco wants to come to us but what i will say worst case scenario just let's just play let's just play the game for a moment because somebody just said there what if he signs for newcastle if he signs for newcastle well done newcastle they've absolutely bantered us and we as a football club would have to dissect this and go what did we do be very embarrassing like what what what did we do because we publicly declared we were going for sesco and we missed down and we knew now newcastle were in for sesco before we publicly declared and i that that's what i do you know i look at the evidence trail i look at the i look at the the conversation i look at what's going on and newcastle were going for sesco at the start of last week we didn't go for sesco until the middle of the week so we knew newcastle were advanced so why would you join a race publicly that you knew newcastle were winning if you knew newcastle were going to win it so we've obviously had some indication now we've if we goes to newcastle we've been played really we've been played haven't we to to but i don't i don't think that's gonna happen uh andy mack says newcastle are acting as man united did with deon marcus laird says apologies because uh for off topic but have you seen the news regarding the land deal for the new stadium and how the seller wants 500 million and inios will buy for any 50 could be a while before the stadium even gets started says Marcus Laird.
24:58I haven't seen that at all. I'd be very interested to read about that. Jacob's Bomba, says Harry. It's a Jacob's Cracker, Harry, if you know what they are. The biggest issue with Cesco for me is that he has his eye on Madrid and the next club he's moving to is just a stepping stone. The problem with the deal might be that he'll demand a release, says Aya. I don't know about that. I don't know whether he's looking at Madrid. I don't know what he's looking at. I mean, if he's got an agent that genuinely is calling him Messi, that's that could be quite um maybe he's not going to be at United for the next 10 years maybe he's looking at three or four years maybe it's a stepping stone and if it's a stepping stone and there's a sell-on fee maybe that's what Leipzig are thinking about so look all I know is that Arsenal had problems we all know that and are we are we making the right choice here well the club really feels that it is and Ruben Amrim has spent a considerable period of time talking about the right character of player and Konya and Mbemo so I would presume that we're looking at the right character of player here.
26:04Who is soaring our youth in the first team? Ghanaccio was a huge ego, rashly disrespected United, Mason did something terrible, McTominay only success, says Liam. Will there be a chance we sign a goalkeeper in January, says Jenin. I mean no one wants to talk about that. I want a goalkeeper in the next two weeks. Any thoughts on United didn't go for Palinja on loan, says Kashif. Financial, I suppose Yeah, I mean, I think it's a good deal for Spurs But, I mean, Spurs have got Paulina and Kudos And we've got Mbemo and Cunha I'd say we've done better, but it's still two signings, isn't it? And also, to be fair, they've took Tell and Danzo On permanent deals, haven't they, from January Have you seen negotiations have stalled with United and Freightliner over the land needed to build the new stadium.
26:54They may be our only hopes, says Nick. I haven't. I'm going to look into this. I feel Rashford, Sancho and Ganaccio are more part of the toxicity problem. I don't know that much, but I feel for Anthony. The issue is he doesn't suit the Premier League, says Madaf. The way Ganaccio ended is just disappointing, but he's got no one to blame but himself, says only Michael. I completely agree. Thank you very much for that. Let me just have a quick look. I guess we will make a bid tomorrow. if I know United right, it's all about the match day today. Hope we get Sesko and a midfielder. Thanks for the shows, says Mikel.
27:26No, I think something could happen today. United have done stuff on the day before. So I don't think that that is impossible. And obviously, Newcastle are working with relentless speed here. They bid yesterday. They're going to bid again, obviously. So once they get a bid accepted, then they can get into concrete talks with Sesko, can't they? But we will be informed all along Story is in the Guardian and the Manchester Evening News Says Marcus, I will read that in a moment Can you justify paying 90 million euros Plus a sell-on clause for 13 league goals The Athletic article stated he was concerned Competing with Havertz, says NH23 And off topic, but I think Euro to Madrid in five years, says Rajaf I think the trajectory of Manchester United At the moment I don't think any United fan can be offended by that simply because we finished 15th.
28:22We're not in Europe. And Lenny Oro, as many people say, looks generational. So in two years' time, if we're not in the Champions League, then I think there does become a point where you would look at the situation and say, well, yeah, I sort of do agree on that one, that he might want to move. So I have to wait and see. um just just just just um somebody else was talking about rasmus being sold for 30 million pounds um i think there's a big difference between like i've seen a lot of people saying we've got rasmus and anana who won't leave the club and they should leave the club because then we'd have money to do other things i think there's a very big difference between anana staying in the number one shirt and refusing to go and forcing us to have to pick him and rasmus saying i don't want to go and staying Rasmus is 22 and would be the backup striker and we need two strikers.
29:15Inanna is crapping goal and will be our number one goalkeeper. So there's a big difference between those two players saying they don't want to leave. I want Rasmus to stay because I want two strikers. Like I want him to stay and I want Inanna to go because he's the number one and he will be the number one. So there's a big difference there. One of them isn't good enough to play for Man United and he's a starter. the other one people might say isn't good enough but i think as a backup with proper tutorage and you know less pressure will actually end up being a good player so i think there's a big difference there the big difference is i want to keep rasmus and i want to sell anana because i want a new goalkeeper whereas i want a striker on the bench that can supplement whoever's going to come in um just on this um i'm just trying to find uh the guardian reports the club want to purchase land used as a rail freight terminal which is owned by transfer firm Freightliner.
30:10The paper reports that the firm is willing to relocate to St Helens but wants£400 million for the land, whereas United are said to value the land at between£40 and£50 million. A source told the paper that Freightliner have United over a barrel and discussions are reported to have reached a stalemate. The issue could delay United's ambitious timeline to develop and open the ground by 2030 the club have not yet received planning permission for the plans ambitious plans were set out earlier this year the new ground and surrounding development named the old trafford regeneration project would bring in an additional 7.3 billion per year to the uk economy and tracked an extra 1.8 million visitors um i mean look at the end of the day i'm very surprised by this because we know that back in 2017 that the Glazers put forward a document to Trafford Council about this project and what they should have done back then was start acquiring land but they didn't so if Freightliner are saying they want half a million half a billion instead of 50 million then they have got the club over the barrel because the plans for this massive billions a year generating thing.
31:24If you own a bit of land in something that you know is going to get billions of pounds, why would you sell it cheap? I don't know though. The thing I would say about this country is that the governments are changing laws all the time. We have something called greenbelt land in the UK where you can't build on it. Greenbelt is countryside. The rules don't mean anything because the government have now said you can build on greenbelt. So I wouldn't trust the fact that if this is a government project with man united that freightliner might find themselves a part of a compulsory sale and uh moved on um with some incentives for something else so when those types of projects need to get built freightliner will end up selling in one way or another they will end up selling because and we will probably end up paying 50 million instead of 500 million and they will probably receive concessions in a different way whether that be tax breaks or you know the property in St Helens they'll they'll get um the government will help United out on that so I don't think it'll be a big problem really if it was just United against Freightliner I'd be concerned because Freightliner are absolutely right even if the land is worth 50 you'd ask for 500 because you know that they're desperate for that land and they need it it's a buyer's market isn't it it's like what happened with Brentford isn't it we wanted to pay 45 for and maybe that was the price, but we paid 65.
32:49But this has got the government involved. So I think Freightliner will get dealt with there at all. Straightforward enough. Mark wants to keep a four in a 40 striker, says Mr. I don't even know what that means. Why do our players try and lower their value when Sesco is trying to help his old club, says Grizzly? Class, respect. Yeah, probably. Hi, Mark. Hope you're well. Just a suggestion on goalkeeper situation. Ortega at City has been told to leave. Cheap option with Inanna to push him out, says Shankar. The problem with that is I like Ortega and I'm surprised that City are getting rid of him.
33:30But he also, that's the word, isn't it? City. Like, is it a deal that we can do? like people spoke about Kelleher and he was a Liverpool goalkeeper so Ortega is a City goalkeeper can you do that I don't I don't know I mean look it's 2025 maybe you can but I don't know that we can do that obviously City did it with Tevez would I be massively bothered about City's reserve goalkeeper coming to Man United no we took their COO Berrada worked at Man City so you can do it it's probably made easier by the fact that we're in a difficult position as a football club Andrew Pete says a compulsory purchase order will be put on Freightliner yeah definitely there was a really good question that just came in a moment ago that I just want to answer and it was basically along the lines of are you still happy with Sesco based upon what is happening now with the price and Newcastle.
34:31Look, there does become a point where you're wandering into what I call the Antony territory, where I made that mistake. I think I said it with Harry Maguire as well. Deep down, you know you're paying stupid money, but you just want to get the player. And then a few months afterwards, when you've lost the excitement of a shiny new toy, the reality hits you and goes, we paid over the odds. So I think with Sesco, I don't have a massive problem at the moment paying 65 million pounds plus five in add-ons, which is basically what it's going to be around that sort of price. We don't know the wage. If the wage is 250 grand a week, I think that's incredible, but we don't know the wage.
35:22We don't know the agent fee and we have paid some ridiculous agent fees over the years. So look, The package may well be quite a big package when it comes out.
35:35But it's difficult to determine because ultimately, I think with Sesko, we're all in agreement. There is a really good player there with huge potential who has been looked at by bigger clubs than us. But I wouldn't describe him as prolific at Leipzig. And he hasn't played in the Premier League before and he has only just turned 22. So the hope would be that he comes in, fulfills the potential, gets better and ends up being one of the best strikers in Europe. The flip side is he comes in from the Bundesliga, doesn't do particularly well and ends up just being OK. And you sort of like go, that was another expensive mistake.
36:15But where we are at the moment on the 3rd of August, it's Sesko or it's try and get Watkins out of Villa. And I think both of those options are going to be expensive now. and people need to sort of realise this, that Man United are trying to salvage a window and say they've done really, really well. I don't see how they can salvage a window and say they've done really, really well. You can buy good players and not have a great window in relation to what you pay, when you do the deals and how many people you sell. And the reality is with the striker situation, we are, for a fact, on plan D or E.
36:50That's just quick maths for Ekotike. So he's got to be plan C. who knows if we went for Osserman that could be plan C Watkins we definitely inquired for plan D and now we're going Sesco who is plan A plan E now he's better than De Lappe who was plan A so I'm not saying that you know he's a crap plan E but this is what happens when you're on plan E in August the prices go up and United need to seem to have this weird tendency to do deals late and then we're a club that doesn't like spending money and we sack people to save money but here we are again and we can't really moan too much about price because we're trying to do what everybody knows is an absolutely priority signing but we're doing it with four weeks left in the window so a bit like Freightliner a bit like Brentford we are over the barrel a little bit And also we're publicly exposed here.
37:45Like if we lose this deal, there is not just missing out on the striker. There is the public perception damage that it does because it would be very, very embarrassing, especially because it's going to be a rival that gets it. So yeah, they've got to get this deal done. Just on Ganaccio, this was from Fabrizio. Ganaccio was given his total priority to Chelsea. Talks took place on the player side. no negotiations yet with man united as price will be the key factor timing of the deal not expected to be imminent can take some time with chelsea focused on outgoings and xavi i mean look again um i just want to say well done to ruben amrin for getting rid of these jokers i think it's a real positive um whether we're going to reap the instant benefits from this i don't know but there'll definitely be a long-term benefit from getting rid of these types of characters from the team and um without going over old ground let's not forget what i've just read to you there and let's not forget what the date is it's august the third and ganacho is giving his total priority to chelsea who have got three new wingers all in all in pre-season training that they bought this summer.
39:00They've already got people like Neto. So he is sat on his arse on August the 3rd saying to Chelsea, I'll sit and wait for you till the end of the month. And Chelsea have got a team that doesn't need him with new signings that are ready to prove that they can play in the first team. He's given up a pre-season. He's going to give up the first few weeks of the Premier League. it's an incredible incredible mentality to have as a footballer that I'm happy to sit here doing sod all between July and August the two most important months of any footballer's season is the pre-season and the first few games to get yourself up to speed and he's saying yeah I'll sit here on my arse and wait now for Chelsea this is brilliant you know Chelsea it shows like, you know, he's willing to wait for us.
39:53But from a player's point of view, oh my God, what an absolute lack of ambition. What an absolute waste. And this is what? Ego out of control, out of control. But look, it's not going to be our problem because he's never going to play for Man United again. And Amorim has completely and utterly destroyed him and reduced him to somebody that has to play power plays with tick buttons on Instagram. Amorim has absolutely exposed him and booted him and, you know, ridiculed him and turned him into somebody who's basically a keyboard warrior, if we're being completely honest. And the sad thing is, there are a lot of Chelsea fans out there that don't actually want him.
40:35So, you know, he's got a lot to sort out, hasn't he? A lot to sort out. We need to take the power back from these childish players, says Steg. I'd happy to forego any more signings to let Ganacho rot and make a statement. No, move him on. Like, he's not our player anymore. let him be somebody else's problem if we keep him he's still our problem I don't I don't want him at United anymore uh you know there was a point where if he'd gone to Napoli or even Aston Villa quickly I'd have said fair play you've fallen out with Amorim these things happen you've got out of the club with respect going and you know go and fulfill your talent but the way he's behaved I don't wish him all the best at Chelsea at all I think he's become when he comes to Old Trafford next season, he's going to realise what he did to United fans.
41:20And that's a shame. It's a real shame because I and many other people backed him, supported him. And there was a lot of United fans that didn't like him, but there was a lot of support for Garnaccio. And he's basically just set up yours. Every time he likes a Chelsea thing or every time he wears a Villa shirt, he's just disrespectful. And if he plays against Man United at Old Trafford next season, I don't think he's going to get applauded some might fair play but you know it's it's done well it's like emily said the ego has surpassed the talent and that's a shame um christian says mark is there a way that we can fact we fans can get in touch with freightliner to stop the glazers the protests sadly don't work maybe try different says christian i mean christian you probably just made a very very very good comment there um if the glazers can't get that land from freightliner then the regeneration project doesn't happen and i don't really see what inios and the glazers end game is so certainly if it's a it's a good idea whether there's a group of united fans thinking about that sort of thing or not i mean there's other land that needs to get purchased but the problem is if the government sign it off, the government can force people to sell land.
42:40It's a priority purchase order. So I don't know whether that would work. Any Anthony news, says Porik or Patrick. No, I mean, Anthony's just sort of, he's like a diluted version of Ganacho and Sancho, really. Anthony is taking the piss a bit because he only wants Betis and he wants a loan, but it's player power again isn't it the annoying thing with Anthony is if Bettis could afford him they would pay it and Anthony wants to go back to Bettis but at the end of the day we're not a charity what you want isn't necessarily what we're going to give you so I for one I'm thankful for Newcastle being involved in this deal says Nick if it was just as we'd be negotiating price down to the end of August we have to move quickly down to Newcastle, Gannac chose a disappointment.
43:34I agree with you, Nick. I said this a couple of days ago. I don't see a negative with Newcastle being involved from a fan point of view, unless you are an accountant and you're bothered about the money. I'm not bothered about the money. I'm bothered about getting a striker in as quick as possible. So the Newcastle thing will speed up the Sesco deal one way or another, more than if it was just us, certainly. I can see one of Sancho or Anthony staying, this is like lazy Parker. I can't, I can't actually, because I don't see where they'd fit in. We don't need them. There's no place in the team where we need them.
44:07I think if we were short in certain positions, maybe, but you look at the right-hand side, you've got Deleu, Ahmad and Masraoui. You look at the left-hand side, you've got Leon and Dorgou and Shaw. You look at the number 10 positions, you've got Mount, Xerxi, Kunja, Mbermo, Bruno. We don't have a place for a Sancho or an Anthony. so I don't see them staying I think they know that as well but I always felt that Sancho was going to run his contract down because financially that that just makes sense to him so there we go I'm going to Chelsea game it's going to be interesting says Daniel of course we do play Chelsea don't we fifth game of the season he won't be playing will he he probably won't play good point The Chelsea Man United game Old Trafford Is sort of Mid to late September Ganacho won't be a Chelsea player Till the end of August Then he won't have had much of a pre-season He won't be a starter He'll be on the bench won't he So he might come on But yeah I can Thank you very much Lazy Parker Well done Amarim Mark you're right Tony I just genuinely think that The behaviour of some of these players Over the last few months even years with some of them has been disgraceful and look I'm not here to protect the Glazers or Sir Jim or even certain managers but fans most fans are obsessed with Man United because they love the club and I think that these players when they do interviews or they don't turn up for training or they go out on the piss or you know they wear a villa shirt or they like posts they're taking the piss out of the fans and your loyalty only stretches so far and that's my point it's like you don't get to be protected anymore you're taking the piss so realistically um you could get really really angry with them but then i look at what the manager's doing and the manager's booted him you're not going to pre-season you're not going to be part of this team you're banned i want you out the club get out you're not good enough for man united in my team and i mean realistically all that ganacho do it all ganacho's doing is lashing out like a petulant child liking posts on instagram because he's got no power and he wants power he wants to make out like he's asked to leave but he didn't united have booted him out amrim's booted him out he's banned him so yeah that's uh that's uh that's where we are uh mike jw says any show tonight or another wind-up what do you mean by another wind-up I don't know what you mean there will be a show tonight because it's there's a match tonight at 10 o 'clock I might shift the 8 o 'clock show later slightly because there's no point doing an 8 o 'clock show till quarter past 9 and then stopping and then going live instantly for everything else so we might just move the 8 o 'clock show to more like half 8, 9 but it's a 10pm kick off UK time so there will be an evening show which will just lead into the watch along so that's what we will do looking forward to that nice way to close the weekend out man united against everton last game on the tour as well so yeah looking forward to that um who knows what might happen this afternoon recess go etc um i feel like we are in a point where it's going to start moving uh quite quickly um but I don't think he's not making a decision because of it's United or Newcastle I just think it's in everybody's interest to keep both clubs in the race until you don't need them in the race anymore it would have been stupid for Sesco to say on Thursday I only want Man United because there's negotiations where if you're Sesco's agent you can play one up against the other you can get a better signing on fee you can get a better agent fee and get better wages so I just think it's about I guarantee you Sesco and his agent know which club they want I think it's Man United and I think they've always known but you publicly say you don't know because then you get Newcastle offering Man United offering and you take your best offer don't you from the club that you want to go um okay thanks everybody for watching make sure you've subscribed to the channel bottom right hand corner because you never know when we might be live next uh speak to all in a bit.
48:25If you want to watch a bit more and a bit more conversation, I know Terry's live on his channel, Football Terrace. Imagine having someone like Keane on the team when Garnaccio plays with us, Chelsea, it will be a blockbuster, says Andrew. The trouble is Chelsea probably could beat us at Old Trafford. They've got a better team, but Garnaccio being there might be actually a real spark, which is what I'm hoping is going to happen against Arsenal two weeks today at Old Trafford. Two weeks today. It's going to fly by. Speak to you in a bit. Take care. Thank you.
