162: SHOCK SALE Clause! Amorim NEEDS Transfers NOW!

0:02Hello everybody, good morning and welcome to the United Stands. I'm Mark Goldbridge and this is your latest Manchester United news and transfer news Thursday the 21st of August 2026. Lots to get into. Is Manchester United back up for sale? What's going on in relation to Rasmus? What's going on in relation to goalkeepers, midfielders and everything else? We're obviously going to talk about this for sale story that's coming in from Mike Keegan. But actually, I want to start off just somewhere very differently to pose a question at the start of this show to this great community. The speed in which Arsenal have reacted to take Ezi from under the noses of Tottenham is absolutely incredible.

0:47Now, I'm not an Arsenal fan. I'm a Manchester United fan like most of you watching. But that is how football should be. And I think we need to keep reminding ourselves that we don't behave like a football club. Now, whether there's a blame attached to that, I think there is. I don't necessarily feel that the way this window is going is ultimately the responsibility of people like Jason Wilcox and Omar Barada. But I think from an ownership point of view, which we're going to talk about in a potential sale, I think they fail. They fail time and time again. Now, so Jim Badflick is obviously, you know, eyes wide open about the debt and the problems at Manchester United.

1:25He's sacked a lot of people. But where it bites us in the backside and where at the end of the day, you know, we've got to sell, you know, got to sack people to survive. Where this really hurts us is that Arsenal get an injury to Havertz and swoop in and sign Ezzing. Manchester United don't have a goalkeeper. Amrind's wanted one since March. We still don't have one. And we lost the game at the weekend because of it. Manchester United need a midfielder. We knock on the door to Brighton, off them half what he's worth and then don't have a plan B. And this is why, no matter how good we look on the pitch and we look very, very, very good on the pitch, from Sunday, we are going to struggle massively if we cannot support the manager on key performance indicators, for example, a goalkeeper and bringing in a midfielder.

2:15This is going to be really, really problematic. So I know that Arsenal's got nothing to do with what Manchester United are doing, but the speed of stealing Ezi like that, because you need to do something because Havertz gets an injury, is why we're going to really, really struggle to catch those clubs ahead of us. Because you look at the volume of transfers, for example, an Arsenal or a Liverpool or a Chelsea or a Man City have made. But on top of that, they're still active in the last two weeks. I mean, basically, if Man United were in a boxing ring against Arsenal or Liverpool or Chelsea or Man City and it was transfers every single round of 12, they battered us in the latter rounds, the middle rounds and the early rounds as the transfer window if you broke it up into rounds.

3:00And I think I look at it and I go, Liverpool are still looking at Guehi and Isaac in the final 10 days. Chelsea are still looking at Ganaccio and Simons in the last 10 days. Man City are looking at Donnarumma and Rodrigo in the last 10 days. And Arsenal get an injury to Havertz and go and take Ezi from under the nose of Spurs. And we do have to have this conversation. It is a really important topic because clubs that we want to aspire to compete with are reacting in the market all the time to potential issues. And the reason that Arsenal have gone and got Eze is because Havertz is out for a few months and they don't want to be left short or vulnerable once that window closes.

3:41But Man United are going to sit there without a midfielder and without a goalkeeper. So I think it's really important to remember that no matter what happens in the last 10 days and no matter what's happened in the last three months, and Cesco, Cunha and Mbermo are very, very good signings. we have ultimately come up short and we do not have the ability of the current FocToc4 to be proactive and move when we need to. And that ultimately is a problem. And that's my issue when I look at that Ezi deal from Arsenal. I just think they're moving because of an injury. We're not even able to move when we've got two gaping holes in our team.

4:20And it's very frustrating, but it probably fits in with last night in relation to the ability to sell players that are just sat on their backside. Anyway, we can come back to that because what we're actually leading on this morning is shock sale clause. So many of you might have read it. If you haven't, you're in the right place. Mike Keegan, Daily Mail has wrote an article in relation to the current situation with Manchester United and any potential sale. Now, Mike Keegan was always very good about this around the Qatari bid. This is Jim Radcliffe bid a couple of years ago when we had all that hope so basically on august the 13th though latzo last week they call it drag along rights so basically 18 months after sir jim radcliffe bought the club this clause comes into play where the glazers can basically legally sell the football club and sir jim radcliffe can't stop it from happening so that for the first 18 months the glazers could not sell their shares without giving Sir Jim Radcliffe approval.

5:18Now they can. So the Glazers could sell their shares and Sir Jim Radcliffe's shares, and he wouldn't have anything to do about it. Now, Sir Jim Radcliffe has spoken about this previously and said, that clause is there, we put it in the bottom cupboard and it collects dust and we don't think we'll ever, ever see it. So is there any prospect of a Manchester United sale now that that very genuine and true clause is there. So somebody could walk in to Man United tomorrow and say, there's 10 billion for the club and the Glazers could take it and there's nothing Sir Jim Babbitt can do about it. That is the clause and it is active.

5:56Whether that's good news or bad news, the reality of the situation is, and the article from Mike Keegan breaks this down, there is zero interest from Qatar and Sheikh Jazim in Manchester United anymore. Now that is probably because of multiple things and it mentions it in the article uh the qatari olympic bid which i think is 2036 also the success of psg winning that champions league and thirdly the fact that realistically it was um a saga that left them with a bloody note you know there was people putting out that the person doesn't even exist i think even sir jim radcliffe hinted that the person doesn't exist shake jazim um ridicule from the press as we know uh misinformation put out and ultimately um what you could probably describe as a sale process that was never a sale process and was always about working with sir jim who was going to prop the glazers up so i think that the qatari um interest as per that article is low secondly who is going to walk in and take the money you know and bid the money for the glazers I don't think there's anybody out there.

7:12Thirdly, most of all, and the article relays this, the Glazers and Sir Jim Radcliffe get on very, very well. If it was a business transaction where they didn't get on with each other, then maybe the Glazers would be looking to do something. But this apparently is a very, very cozy relationship. Sir Jim Radcliffe has always spoken about what great people the Glazers are, how they've only got the best interests of the club at heart. They're good people. Apparently he flies over there regularly for meetings in the States with them. So Mike Keegan basically saying that, yes, this clause is there and somebody could walk in tomorrow, offer ridiculous money.

7:49The Glazers could take it and there's nothing Sir Jim Mabfitt can do about it. But actually in reality, nobody's going to do that. The Qataris are certainly not going to come back. And also the Glazers and Sir Jim have a very tight relationship that goes beyond business, there's actually a relationship there that they get on. Also, I think fundamentally, when you look at what Sir Jim Radcliffe's done in the last 18 months, he has basically done what Ole Gunnar Solskjaer did as a manager. He has become a shock exhorter to the Glazers. The Glazers don't really get mentioned anymore. They own the club.

8:25It is a Glazer football club, but everyone talks about it like it's Sir Jim Radcliffe's football club. They own the football club. They make big decisions, but everybody talks like it's Sir Jim Radcliffe making those decisions. They've made some big decisions. They've said that the club's going to knock Old Trafford down. That's a Glazer decision. Sir Jim Radcliffe fronts it. They had the regeneration project in 2017. The plans are there. The documents are there. But apparently it's a Sir Jim Radcliffe project. So everything that Sir Jim Radcliffe has done for the Glazers is basically just take them out of the equation.

8:58and they sit back, you know, making their money as per the last 20 years. So for the Glazers, this is a very cozy relationship. And also the projects that they're working on in five years time or whenever they actually start doing the work, I think that's a great point. They haven't started doing the work yet, but whenever they start building that new project, the value of Manchester United goes through the roof. If Manchester United can get themselves back into the Champions League, Super Leagues, they're going to make a lot of money. The value of Man United trajectory is going to go up with the stadium and if they can get themselves back into the Champions League.

9:32So why would the Glazers ever want to sell? They're not going to sell from under the feet of Sir Jim Radcliffe. So yes, the clause is there and you might see people going, you know, United's up for sale or stuff like that. But the reality is nothing's actually changed. It was a stopgap. It was a stopgap that if after 18 months they weren't getting on, they might look at a sale. And I think some of us hoped that might happen. even the other way even if it didn't work and they look to sell and Sir Jim Radcliffe might be able to buy more but as of now the relationship is from their side very very strong and the future will be the Glazers and Sir Jim Radcliffe so look that clause is there but ultimately you know we are where we are with it and we'll have to just we'll have to just wait and see please start a GoFundMe to buy the clubs says Richard well I think it's an important update unless anybody wants to go back onto it i don't intend going back onto it but i think sometimes misinformation is out there the clause is there they can sell the club now so jim matthew can't stop them selling the club but in reality um you know that there's not a lot we can do about that one minute i'm just going to grab something can i grab it i really want to go and grab it because it's pretty cool can you give me 30 seconds you'll like you'll like it you will like it

10:55Thank you.

11:30not happy not happy it's not it's not you know has that ever happened to you like it's not actually

11:42I saw it coming down the drive it's not a massive drive I don't live in a mansion I saw it coming down the drive and And I thought it was something to do with the Bundesliga tomorrow. So I was like, oh, it'd be great to open it. And then it wasn't that. This is the trouble with ordering packages. Like, you think it's yours, you get excited, and it's someone else's package, which sounds completely wrong. Anyway, I'll have you for you later, don't worry. Probably on the 8 o 'clock show. Remember, we've got Ben Jacobs at 2 o 'clock as well, so we're excited about that. Anyway, back into the news.

12:18that's the latest on that i've spoken about the ezzy stuff as well i do just want to talk about um why am i out of breath from going down the stairs i think i need to do a little bit more exercise i'm worried about that i think i think i might be dying i've just got bundlesliga rights um that is a bit worrying running down the stairs and being out of breath i'm actually quite fit my whoop age i haven't got my whoop on that's why why is that uh anyway i'm losing it i'm getting old um right going back to what i was talking about so look interesting updates this morning um around the um rasmus hoyland situation so let's get into the transfer news because it is a it is a morning show it is a new show so um oh stephen torpey has been given the role to lead manchester night's academy um good luck to him hopefully it works out quite well yeah douglas louise is going to um forest that's another midfielder on the move um yeah jason wilcox has announced that stephen torpe will be the new academy uh director god all right well done you've got the job that's not really breaking news is it let's let's let's right okay let's get into my news because that's boring uh with all due respect hope he does a great job nick cox was very good why is this doing this right i've got everything's going downhill now since i went downstairs uh okay here we go um literally here we go not a here we go but manchester united striker rasmus holland and his camp have made clear to the likes of napoli and rb leipzig that he prefers a loan move with an obligation to buy go to the bundesliga um no um no no no no no favoritism there but but go to the bundesliga i think it'd be good to go to the bundesliga if you're going to go don't forget actually that's football make sure you're subscribing tomorrow night our Bundesliga action starts it's going to be great fun obviously we'll have a highlights package with all the goals each week as well so really excited for all of that hopefully we can do some scouting for Manchester United because everybody seems to be buying players from the Bundesliga this summer but yeah so look there was a bit of confusion yesterday around whether Rasmus wanted to well he doesn't want to go there's no confusion about that Fabrizio has said he doesn't want to go but if he does go there was confusion about whether it was a loan and he wants to come back or whether it's a loan and he wants an obligation because he doesn't want to come back so it appears that actually the clarity is that if he he wants to stay at manchester united 100 but if he goes he wants the security that if he goes that's where he's going to end up so i i have a theory on this but actually it does make sense i thought it was a bit of a weird update yesterday and even i sort believed it so apologies on that but i i it read to me yesterday that he will go on loan but wants to come back and doesn't want to get treated like sancho or rashford like wants to be integrated back into the squad so if you went on loan to leipzig you scored 20 goals and amrin went oh actually i really like him bring him back that's what he would like to do but it actually is the case that if he went to leipzig and did really well he wants to stay at leipzig um and have an obligation to buy and i suppose that makes sense because man united are going to move on over the next 12 months and hopefully man united are going to be good over the next 12 months and the chances of you becoming back and being reintegrated are going to be slim because we know what the british press is like and we know what you know what some of our fans are like you know it's very rare that a player that people have given up on goes off and does a loan somewhere else and then gets given another chance when you think about you know bringing people like memphis back and people like that people just aren't interested um my take on this though my theory on this and i don't know what you think is that i don't think there's time to do this i almost think this might be quite a clever play by rasmussen his agent because i think united and i understand all parties it's a bit like the isak deal i understand isak's position liverpool's position and newcastle's position I don't think there's a villain.

16:31You know, I don't. And I don't think there's a villain in this. I think Rasmus wants to stay and he's willing to be under Stuby Tshesko and fight for his place. I think Manchester United need money and the quickest way to get money is to loan a player and get a loan fee in. And I think so Rasmus and his agents are saying, well, if you want me to go, then that means you don't want me. So I want to go somewhere where I'm going to stay. So he's going, I don't want a loan deal. I want a loan with an obligation or a permanent move, which makes the deal a lot harder to do because suddenly Man United are like, a simple loan deal is quite easy.

17:12You take him for a year, he comes back, five million quid, we get five million quid. And then next year, hopefully he's had a good season. You put him to market again and you have a bit of a bidding war. Very asset driven, really. We have an asset. we send him on loan for a year you pay his wages of course a year later um his book value comes down so i think rasmus's book value at the moment is about 40 million pounds which means you've got to sell him for 40 million pounds to break even in a year's time that'll come down to about 28 million pounds so if he has a good season you can probably make a profit on him so it's all about money and fundamentally somebody said to me yesterday i don't understand why man united I would just want a simple loan.

17:55And I was like, well, it's bloody obvious why. If you do a simple loan, as I just said there, you pocket your 5 million loan fee, his wages are covered off, which brings in another few million. So you're basically making on your book, maybe somewhere between 5 and 8 million pounds. He comes back in a year's time, you've got that 8 million in your pocket, but also his book value for transfer has come down by another year. He's selling for 40, his book value is 28 that's another 12 million you've just made 20 million pounds in two in a year whereas if you're loaning with an obligation um that obligation fee might be a lot lower than what you can get next summer if he has a good season so it's all about money really and and i do think that with 10 days to go that probably makes united's job harder that rasmus would say I'll only go if there's an obligation.

18:52And it certainly makes it harder for the buying club because how many buying clubs are going to want to put an obligation in as well? So look, I don't know how it's going to end up. I do agree that obviously I think it's a story that's going on at the moment. And it's a story that a lot of people are thinking that he will move on. I think everybody has to look out for everybody in this situation. And ultimately, you know man united need money and as i said last night i think it comes down to the same thing all of the time if ganacho was gone and anthony was gone and sancho was gone then i think i don't know that we would be as locked on even removing rasmus at all i think amrin would probably be saying the more options the better look at what's just happened to arsenal you know haberts has done his knee they've reacted to that what if one of my key players does their knee like what if Xerxes does his knee I've only got Sesko to play 90 minutes every game or I've got to put Mason Mount as a false nine so that's how that's how thin our squad is up front or put a 17 year old up front so I think I think Amarin would be more than open to keep every player he has at the moment and add to it but United need to generate money beyond the Ganachos etc so watch this space on that one i think it's an interesting one um also oh god yeah okay okay okay i will talk about it even though it's a big load of shite um donnarumma donnarumma let keep a saying that donnarumma has already agreed personal terms with man city and has even spoken with pep directly imc followed the report claiming that man united and chelsea have made initial cryer as though no talks at this stage there was some um there was some talk that donnarumma might be back on the manchester united radar uh i think yanar gafjortoft has read has led on this for a couple of weeks now um i i i don't i don't i never did i never believed the talks i never even think we really did anything um i just don't think we did i think that i think the pinnacle of what man united probably did was just inquire like what's the deal you know like almost and I wouldn't even I wouldn't even say that was talks because I think that Man United may get somebody to inquire about somebody like Osman or Rodrigo just in case somebody said oh he's available on free you know I think just finding out what the general story is, Man United have probably done that on loads of people that we never even went for.

21:39So I just thought, you know, Donnarumma for us, like, how do you even do it? I mean, we would love to do it. I think it's a game changer, as I say. Like, from where we are at the moment, you give me Emi Martinez, you give me Donnarumma, and I'd probably put us into the top five, firmly in the top five, even without a midfielder. I just think having a goalkeeper of that quality changes the team around. And I don't think people really think about this enough. I think we're all like, we need a goalkeeper and a midfielder. And we do, we do. And we need to scream and shout and let it all out. We need a goalkeeper and we need a midfielder.

22:10Absolutely, 100%. No doubt about it. But the most transformative position for me is the goalkeeper. The midfielder is, games are won and lost in the midfield. Exactly. But bottom line is, Agathe with confidence is still decent. Casemiro can do a job. Bruno is a brilliant player playing out in the position, and Maynou has a lot of talent as well. But in goal, you've got Anana and Bienda. They are a couple of dead ducks. They're just floaters. I don't mean like the one you get in the toilet. I mean like a dead duck floating in a pond. They're useless unless the ball hits them. Otherwise, they're useless.

22:49So if you give me an Ebi Martinez or a Donnarumma, I think it changes the conversation around the solidity at the back. We have got good defenders already. You don't concede crappy little goals like that. I mean, look, let's be clear. Every bloody team now is going to, every corner they get is going to pop it on our goalkeeper. You know, tactically, if I'm Fulham, Burnley, Man City, every corner I get, I'm pinging it on the goalkeeper now because United's defensive setup is a little bit odd. you know why Mason Mount was marking Saliba in the first pace and De Litt was on the back post is zonal you know zonal defending is just crap in the Premier League because most decent teams now will put the ball on the goalkeeper I mean if you know the ball is going to drop on your goalkeeper why the hell would you put Mason Mount on Saliba so Man United are going to get caught on this quite a bit which is why I think you need a really really good goalkeeper but you need a really goalkeeper anyway so donnarumma as much as i would like it to happen i think it's a load of shite but the um there's something uh just came out this morning about uh loan deals manchester evening news is saying that collier was the most recent recent uh vid tech will spend the season in bristol dan gore jack malhouse have gone on loan as well um also a few other players expected to go predominantly younger players nobody of you know people like Joe Hugel etc there's no expectation that we're going to loan beyond well we may well end up loaning Rasmus as we just mentioned maybe a Jadon Sancho as well also there's a lot of stories coming out around Joshua Xerxi PSD have been linked to him this morning we've heard Italian stuff as well it's it's not going to happen now you should never say never because what what what we call it is the james garner effect manchester united will get to a point where they will sell a player because it's the only player they can sell now i will lose it if we sell zerk seek because that is not on the agenda it's never been on the agenda and it's certainly not on amram's agenda or Xerxes' agenda to move on.

25:06I think it was up until Christmas. And then obviously in the January transfer window, he committed, he settled, and he gets on really well with the team and the manager. And he's well settled now. And Xerxes is appreciated. If we sold him, we would be doing it because, oh, we can't sell anybody else. There's some money. So we cannot be that. We're Manchester United. We cannot be a club that sells players. we don't want to sell because we can't sell the players that we do want to sell and we need to get money in look if the plan had been to sell xerxi in may i wouldn't have been too happy with it but i'll back the manager and i'll back the club but you can't suddenly decide to sell xerxi in the last 10 days because you're desperate for money desperation should be extinguished you shouldn't you know you shouldn't feed it and it would be desperation to let xerxi go so absolutely no i don't think it will happen either philip we're talking about jayden sancho this morning i i wouldn't even i wouldn't even bother with that um it really doesn't make any sense he's uh he's boring uh a little bit about anthony here um anthony oh this is coming in from uh a journalist george nicola basically saying that links to botafogo there's no possibility of Anthony returning to the Brazilian league at the moment.

26:29I spoke to Anthony's agent, who is currently in Europe, working to resolve Anthony's future. He assured me that a return to Brazil is not part of Anthony's career plan right now. They have reached out to him. Sao Paulo as well. The most likely outcome is a return to Betis, where Anthony enjoyed an impressive spell last year. I mean, I don't even want to talk about these people anymore. But, you know, Anthony, what a bloody joke. So, you know, there's so few players that had such a big glow up from a loan deal from January to the summer. I mean, he was literally tearing it up. And I just think, what a bloody waste.

27:07Every time I saw a clip of Anthony scoring a goal or getting an assist for Betis, I was like, his value's going up. His value's going to get a move. You know, there was talk of Atletico Madrid. I just feel like it's like it's like me recording the best Man United versus Fulham preview ever. And I'm like, that's amazing. Everything is the best one I've ever done. And then I look and I didn't hit record. And I'm like, well, it wasn't live and I didn't hit record. It's it's it's irrelevant. And I feel like that about Anthony. It's like everything you did. Obviously, we did see it, but he wants to go and do it again.

27:43the whole point of going to bettis was to put yourself in a bloody shop window to go and do something better not to go back there um yeah it's just a weird thing and i get that he enjoyed it there but mate you're under contract to man united we should not be paying your wages to go and do something you've already done it's that you know i just i'm getting dragged into it again I'm getting dragged into it. When do you think Ganaccio is going to go? I think in relation to Ganaccio, he's an absolute... Well, there's words if I speak, but the reality is much the same as Anthony, if we're being honest.

28:23They've got absolutely no respect for Manchester United or the contract they signed. They are literally bitches to Betis and Chelsea trying to drive... They may as well be on commission for Betis and Chelsea. They are acting like Chelsea and Betis employees already, driving the price out. I mean, when have you ever seen players, footballers that bothered? I mean, I think about Bruno Fernandes when he left sporting. He just stayed out of it. I want to go to Man United, but I respect sporting. Let them do the deal. Let them do the deal. When Harry Maguire left Leicester to come to Manchester United, stayed out of it.

29:02Stayed out of it. I want to go to Man United, but I'm staying out of strikes or driving prices down or anything like that. Cesc with Leipzig. Yeah, I'm not getting involved in driving prices down or going on strike. Respect Leipzig. Garnaccio and Anthony literally doing Bettis' and Garnaccio's work. Chelsea and Bettis don't even need a chief transfer negotiator. they've got ganacho and antony the self-appointed technical directors of chelsea and batis that that ganacho is literally driving the price down like he's so stupid he doesn't realize that he could go for 25 million 30 million pounds and go cheaper than players that he should think he's better than but he doesn't care he doesn't care him and his team don't care that by driving the price down they're mugging themselves off and so and chelsea are mugging him off they don't value him at even 40 million quid but he sat there going yeah this is great yeah we don't value it 40 million pounds keeps you keep sitting there i mean this is this is how much chelsea value ganacho right if this was a decent player chelsea fans would be going stop driving the price down we need it we've got a big game against west ham tomorrow we need him and chelsea are going we We want you, but we're not paying 40 million because we don't think you're worth it.

30:29And we want you so much that we're willing to actually play three Premier League games without you. So, yeah, we desperately want you. We think you're so great, but we're not going to pay 40. And we're in no rush to get the deal done. So if you want to come here, you better drive the price down. I mean, it's hilarious. It's absolutely hilarious. And Ganaccio is doing it. like oh yeah i'll wait here don't worry don't forget about me though yeah don't forget about me i'll drive the price down and that's the reality i mean i'm not knocking chelsea at all like you know to be honest with you i've spoken to plenty of chelsea fans and they're sort of like don't really want him so the cheaper they get him the more appealing the deal is but he's there just yeah he's just driving the price down of course it of course he is can you believe he said no to buy him well as i said yesterday i think he's driven by um motivation to prove amrim wrong i don't think it's anything to do with a deep desire for chelsea um this is the last season players dictate our sales has hit and i think this is true actually you know i think this is true and i think we've been through a lot over the last few years as united fans and sometimes you don't know when the end is um i certainly think that personality wise i don't see or foresee the volume of these problems in years to come we have still got players that are going to be running contracts down i mean you have still got people like luke shore who've got a lot you know if he gets injured again he's got a long time left on his contracts mason mount if he gets starts getting injured again long time on his contract there are different problems there are still the people like the Ananas of this world who, you know, really should be looking to go, but have good contracts and might run them down.

32:21But, you know, Casemiro's gone next summer. He's the last of the big earners. And as you say, I think these types of players, I can't really think of another player that's problematic. Even if Sancho doesn't go, he's gone in a year. So Marcus Rashford could be coming back next summer, I suppose. But, you know, at least that's parked off for a year and credit to him he did get that done quite quickly uh will costa not be a better option for us as andris i think in relation to diego costa um some people have mentioned him as a possibility for manchester united and i do like costa um and you know i personally do like costa um some people quite rightly query the fact that he's never played in the premier league he does make mistakes and those are all fair points but i think the costa situation has only become mentioned because of the edison um to galatasaray deal which will then lead to donnarumma going to man city i don't think it ever made any sense that he was going to go to galatasaray for 20 million so i don't think united got the money for him uh if i'm being completely honest the one i would keep an eye out for honestly is three o 'clock saturday afternoon brentford against aston villa who's the starting goalkeeper that's the one and i'm not by any stretch of the imagination saying there's not there's a 70 chance or it's 50 50 i've got i don't know what chance there is but if he didn't start that game and the guy that played when he was suspended against newcastle starts then I think that becomes a possibility but but let's be clear he could start that game there's a very good chance he'll start that game there's a very good chance that he is Aston Villa starting goalkeeper and it would be a very very big statement from Emery and I would I would even say if I was the owner of Villa even if you want us to sell him to Manchester United start him in that game because if you don't start in you devalue him and you know i hope he doesn't start i hope man united do go for him because we are interested we tried to get him on loan but yeah i don't see costa in shorts i don't i don't see costa coming to manchester united um can we sign trafford from city trafford is future world goalkeeper and he'll be on the bench now says nicholas i i there are there are certain deals that you look at and you go i don't understand them um trafford going to man city when they're about to get donnarima i mean is he just going to be the new scott carson um aaron ramsdale going to newcastle when they're still got nick hope you know it's it's a hard world being a goalkeeper because it's not like being, look, look, if we keep Rasmus, Sesko starts, he will still get loads of minutes because Sesko can't play 90 minutes every game.

35:27But if you're James Trafford, you might not play at all because a goalkeeper doesn't need to come off after 70 minutes and he doesn't need to be rotated that much. I'd rather make Vitek the number one if we can't sign a keeper, says Moose, but that can't happen because he's already on loan. People talk about bittech is already on loan so that can't happen sahil says think of it this way how many games have we won because the opposition goalkeeper made a mistake probably none now compare it to the amount of points we have dropped because of our goalkeeping errors says sahil you're quite right i think we spoke about this um we spoke about this a few weeks ago didn't we like how many how many points does a good goalkeeper give you um i mean look at reyer at the weekend i don't think any of his saves were amazing i thought the one from kunya was good um and when bruno puts it on him he punches it he just does his job and if arsenal had behindering goal they probably would have lost so that's three points you've lost so i know behinder cost us a point but he would have cost arsenal three because they won the game so i think across a season it's not beyond the realms a possibility that you could say Anana slash Biinder would cost us 10 points, comparable to a Raya or an Emi Martinez.

36:46So I would say, I mean, I don't know what you think, but I think 10 points is a fair assessment of what Anana slash Biinder are likely to cost us compared to signing a goalkeeper. And when you think about it, 10 points is significant. And also 10 points is not that difficult to accumulate like one's gone down already and look i i the reason i say anana slash behinder because it's our starting goalkeeper isn't it whoever it is amarin obviously wanted to put behinder in because he doesn't trust anana so it's fair to say that it's a collective because one goalkeeper changes beyonder and anana so we're one we're one point lost already because of the goalkeeper you're telling me between now and may we're not going to accumulate another nine that are going to exclusively sit for goalkeeping uh i think 10 points is a fair estimate of what it's going to cost us and add 10 points onto anybody last season and it makes a massive difference i mean i don't think 10 points what do we i don't remember i'd have to look at the chat i don't know well no i'll do it 10 points last season um onto manchester united said i mean it wouldn't put us into the champions league would it but

38:0924 slash 25 got to find us first mark 15th place 10 points puts us up to i mean to be honest we're not a good example because 10 points for man united we got 42 in 15th place only puts us up to 13th bloody hell we were 11 points off 12th wow so last season it wouldn't have made a massive amount of difference but look if we're going to be better this year let's say we finish in ninth place like bournemouth did with 56 points so if we finish in ninth place with binder and anana with 56 points and they're worth 10 points if we don't, if we sign a goalkeeper. 10 points on top of Bournemouth's 56 puts them into fifth place with 66.

39:01So yeah, 10 points is a lot once you get into the top half. Basically, if Brentford finished 10th and if they had another 10 points, they'd have finished in fifth. So 10 points when you're in the top half of the table is a hell of a lot. Would you say there isn't a villain if it's Anana or Casemiro? says class of 99. I think he'd try to take me down a road here, but look, you didn't listen to what I said. I don't think there's a villain in Isaac, Newcastle and Liverpool. And a lot of people want to say there is. I don't. I think Isaac said he wanted to go. I think Newcastle would have let him go if they could buy players and Liverpool are willing to offer good money.

39:41I don't think there's a villain in the Rasmus situation because Man United just want money. Rasmus doesn't want to go and the clubs that want to bring him in probably don't want to buy him permanently. They want to just do a loan deal. So everybody's pulling in different directions. In relation to Inanna, there is no three parties. There is only two. And that's the problem. So whether there's a villain or not, with Izak, there's three parties. There's a buyer, there's a seller, and there's the player. With Rasmus, there's a loanee, there's clubs that want to loan him, and this man united with anana as a crap goalkeeper that we that nobody wants that so villains are relevant you know victim or perpetrator is development irrelevant he won't go and nobody wants him so and also we haven't got a replacement for anana we have a replacement for Erasmus so there's a bit of pressure that you know there is an exit route with an honor he isn't even looking for one because we haven't gone and bought anybody think of it this way how many games have we won because okay done that from Sal Hill thank you class of 99 could they sell a portion for 1 billion and clear the debt says Kiel that's not what will happen new show idea down the gym with Goldbridge says Doug hopeful everyone gets the GCSE results they wanted says Brooke well I feel I have to do the obligatory nonsense and I am being sarcastic here.

41:14Don't worry if you don't do well in your GCSEs. If you do do well in your GCSE exam results, great. You put the work in and you should be very, very proud. But if you don't do well in your GCSEs, don't worry too much. Look at me. I didn't do well in my GCSEs and now I've got the biggest Man United fan community in the world and Bundesliga tv rights i i'm being completely sarcastic there you make what you want you you know failure doesn't define you it's what you do with failure that's what i would say but i do regret not doing well in my gcse's it's one of my regrets it's it's not like i did shit at them and i i do feel quite embarrassed by that but i know why i did crap at them because it didn't work for them and i think that anything you want to do in life, you should work hard for.

42:07And I didn't work hard enough. So as Garfield says, you reap what you sow. But I can't stand people who go and put tweets out on GCSE results morning and make it about themselves. Oh, don't worry if you don't do that well. Look at me, I'm a multimillionaire. And oh yeah, is that because your dad gave at you when he died? Like, you know, you do you. I think it's hard and I don't want to be sexist, but i think in my school there was a lot of immature lads like myself who just thought they were going to be footballers and stuff and didn't apply themselves um yeah you grow up at some point i didn't grow up quick enough let them sign a midfielder and goalkeeper will bid then says mojo

42:57um let them first sign a midfielder and a goalkeeper will bid then okay oh mojo's going to bid for man united okay i see what i mean what's he talking about mojo's got the money uh double d hope you're doing well not heard from you in a while hope you're doing well mates says nothing the glazers do is for the club's benefits it only benefits the glazers end of still glazers out says doubled it look if you're not glazers out what's wrong with you you don't have to be aggressively glazers out you can just be hello joel glazer hope you're having a nice day I wish you didn't own Man United and he might go oh that's a bit unfair you see quite a nice guy yeah because I don't need to scream and shout about it I don't like your ownership I don't like the debt I'd rather have somebody else but you know I don't wish you any harm hope you have a lovely day at Disney World but I wish you weren't in charge of Man United see you later I can express an opinion without getting aggressive or toxic or anything like that I don't like your ownership of Manchester United I don't like what you've done to the club I'm a Glazers out and ultimately I don't know why anybody would have a problem with that I'm Glazers out I'm sure we all are you're telling me you're happy with what's happening to Manchester United Football Club 100 % agree with you double D and look what people forget is and some of you may forget because you weren't old enough we won the Champions League with the Glazers in 2008 we won three Premier Leagues in a row with the Glazers everybody was still glazing out it doesn't mean that you know even if you're successful it doesn't mean that you wouldn't want a change of ownership um it's a spin to distract us from more trophies about this clause says jr uh collin says the glazers are never going to sell their cash cow especially with the wider projects on the horizon 100 can we bring the eric ten hog book back now says mma take doubt i might put that i need to find the book i was literally thinking for the bundesliga stuff tomorrow night i need to put some stuff up to do with the bundesliga and you've just saved me a job eric ten hard book is back absolutely um somebody just said do you think the glazers will ever go i can only repeat to you what i said to you when the sir jim madcliffe deal got done and again when the story came out about the regeneration project there is documentation we did a video on it i don't know where it is it's it's on the channel somewhere i did a video about it the regeneration project stops any sale from the glazers because it's going to take five years to build and then it's going to take 10 years to make the money from it and they're going to make a lot of money from it so the glazers are here for the next 15 years unfortunately for some of you that means you know for the rest of your life you're going to have a glazer owned man united but i don't think it stops there they have that it's their plan the regeneration project is ridiculously similar to documents they submitted in 2017 to trafford council so jim madcliffe didn't was nowhere near man united in 2017 neither was sebastian co or any of the british government so the glazer project has always been this um all sir jim's come in and done is get on board with it and use connections to make it happen in the government um the regeneration project has been the glazer mastermind for probably they started accumulating land in 2010 around old trappard which they own so this has been in the making for well over a decade it's a glazer project to regenerate the area.

46:40And they know that regeneration is going to give them huge returns and it's also going to increase the value of Manchester United. And the Qataris never understood why the Glazers were setting the price at 6 billion when the club was probably worth about four and a bit. But it's because as soon as this regeneration project happens, man united will be worth 10 and if they can consistently get themselves into the champions league they'll easily be worth 10 so the glazers were projecting their price on what was to come and now they're not selling they will achieve that and they know it's going to take time so i would say a glazer ownership is united for easily the next decade and then why would you sell it?

47:35Why would you sell it? I don't think we'll ever never say never but certainly not anytime soon. That shit sails and we have to hope that this shit provides us with some happiness and you know I just want to see Man United winning titles again. I want to see Man United I tell you what, I want to see Man United winning titles again I want to see Man United in the bloody Champions League again like I can't get my head about nothing ever lasts forever i think we we should be winning premier league titles but what i can't get my head around is how we're not in the champions league on such a regular occurrence it's it's baffling to me but um yeah i mean you've got to get realistic the the the ownership and everything like that obviously i'd love it to change but we just have to focus in on the here and now.

48:31And the here and now is Ruben Amorim. The here and now is, you know, what looks to be a better Manchester United, but still a Manchester United that is failing to compete with the very, very top clubs in the Premier League. As I said at the start of the video, Havertz gets a knee injury and they pivot instantly to Ezi. Unbelievable. But Ezi's going to be a Spurs player. Havertz gets a bad knee injury to pick up the phone and say, come to Arsenal. we haven't got a bloody goalkeeper you know we're fighting with one arm behind our back again uh as per usual um so yeah uh let me just catch up on this because somebody's having a moan ollie let's have a look at ollie is it the ollie uh congratulations to you and the team for the partnership says fraz thank you i've dropped the link in the live chat to subscribe to that's football so you're ready for tomorrow if we don't get belabor we should get chowinni to send blanco the glazers will leave their ownership will be passed down they will never leave says tenderloin it will just be passed down generationally you never sell sell the cow while it still produces milk well that's literally what happened um it was malcolm glazer who bought manchester united he's been dead for years it's his kids who got it so yeah just get passed down ollie hi from australia what do you think of recalling bittek instead of buying a new goalkeeper first time super chatting thanks for all of his dreams says ollie well there you go ollie um trafford playing old trafford says andre and also let me just pull this down here i wouldn't let chelsea have him cheap now we'll get 25 million next summer little mugs to steven vanham yeah well some people would agree with you on that um just going back to what ollie said about vitek that is just not going to happen and there's nothing wrong with saying that and having a theory and an opinion that that's not going to happen vitek's on loan we're not going to bring him back he didn't even get a chance on pre-season so for whatever reason amram doesn't feel that he's ready um so yeah that's not going to happen uh unfortunately um

50:42do you think anything will happen with united today

50:48i can't say yes what i can say is nothing is happening at the moment nothing is happening at united at the moment and there are only 10 days left of the window a week and a half left of the window we can't do deals in a week and a half and we're not doing deals now so if we're gonna do anything it's gotta happen quick i i think with every every passing day the chances of doing deals you know deteriorates but like is that emmy martinez something in which case you've got to wait till saturday is the midfield are we just going to get a drop straight away that united are going for Wharton like they did for Belagro.

51:32It's not over. It's not impossible. I understand the negativity. All I know is what I said on Monday. Amrim wants a midfielder and a goalkeeper. Jason Wilcox is trying to deliver that. Whether they can deliver that or not will dictate what score we give it on final day. At the moment, it's a five out of ten for me. Just want to give a huge thanks for what you're doing. Going to be going to Manchester for uni and we'll hopefully catch some games. Big up the United Stands as Etienne. Well, well done on that and I hope you'll enjoy it. Manchester's a great city. I'm sure you will. Thanks everyone for tuning in this morning.

52:05Make sure you get your comments in. Lots to get involved in. Don't you think the Qataris would run the club better? I think more would happen looking at City, for example, says Charles. I mean, it's a great, great way to just leave the show. Remember, we're back at two o 'clock with Ben Jacobs so we can ask all these transfer questions then. I'm back with you at eight o 'clock as well and we'll go live if anything happens. Would we be in a better position with the Qataris? Well, look, it's a controversial thing because some people just didn't want that type of ownership. I can't understand why you'd want this ownership over that.

52:37I mean, we're still owned by the Glazers. But if we'd been bought by Qatar, then we would have... Look, they might have got people like Rio Ferdinand as director of football, which would have been a bloody nightmare. They might have utilized people like David Beckham, which I think would have been a great idea. um we don't know what their plans were so it's hard to you know quantify if they'd followed the last 12 months model of psg where you don't go for superstars you go for you know investment in and you know the right players what we definitely would have seen is better investment we wouldn't be here without a goalkeeper and a midfielder that's guaranteed they that man united can spend money what cripples them is the debt we wouldn't have the debt so anybody who says we'd be in a similar situation we wouldn't be because we wouldn't have the debt the debt would be gone which would free up a lot more money so we would be look i think that the road to recovery for man united is replacement of shit players for better players so it is recruitment and we would have had more recruitment so i think there's a good chance we'd be in a better position but i would just put the caveat there that you don't know what bad decisions they might have made around managers and the people that were going to get involved but they just spent more money 100 % yeah thanks everyone for watching take care i'll speak to you in a bit
