This is your latest Manchester United news and transfer news. Hope you're doing very well. We've got the left-back situation to talk about this morning. Interesting article coming in from Simon Stone. Romano talking about Balde. Lewis Hall's been mentioned again. Will we get a left-back? We'll delve into that. Also, strange story coming out about Camavinga. We'll delve into that as well. Rashford's not going anywhere. We'll talk about what Wayne Rooney said about Balaba and the pressure.

1:52There's a lot of players with a lot of pressure at Man United. It's a very interesting stance. We will and should get time to talk about that as well. We're also going to talk about Xerxi and a few other transfer elements as well, as we have six days to go in this transfer window now. Just six. You know, Michael Carrick, a couple of weeks ago, said he wanted players. Everybody's saying we need players. Are we going to get players? Well, look, I want to just start off very, very quickly, because the United Stand is an amazing platform, a huge community, and you do get your say, of course. But I just want to say this at the start of the show.

2:25We've been scammed. We have been scammed as fans. If you pay your mortgage over five years at a grand a month or whatever you pay for your mortgage, and then after three years, you look at your mortgage and you've not paid anything off, you've been scammed. Now, how is it any different when you're paying for Sky or TNT or a shirt or a season ticket to see that you're putting money into something and the situation is getting worse in relation to expenditure? And what I mean by that is, is that Manchester United have absolutely scammed their fan base this summer. Absolutely scammed. Like, when you think about it, we were willing to pay£70 million for Balaba a year ago after we'd bought Sesco and everybody else.

3:09So that£70 million was there a year ago. So I don't even count this Balaba fee. It was in last year's budget. And even if you don't believe me on that, we were going to spend£70 million on Semenyu in January. So that£70 million has been there for a year. It's got nothing to do with this budget. We've not bought anybody else. We've not done anything else with it. That£70 million was factually there a year ago to buy Belayba and it was there to buy Semenu in January. So if you take that£70 million off, are you seriously telling me that our budgets,£70 million for Tillemans and Santos, with a little bit of net spend off it as well?

3:48Like, seriously, this is not speculative. This is reality. Where has the money gone? And you know when you talk about your mortgage provider, you can put an email in, you can speak to customer service. Who is talking to Manchester United fans? We are being absolutely scammed. They should be talking to us about where the money is because it's just disappearing. And you know what? We got 100 million for finishing in the Champions League. So let me just do this in quick maths for you, right? We spent 150 million pounds on Balaba, Santos and Tillemans. We know 70 million of that was there last year and in January.

4:25So take that off. You're down to about 80. You've got 80 million. We got 100 from being in the Champions League. That's 20 profit. You've made another 30 from selling players. That's 50 profit. Where's the money? The money's there. Just on quick maths, the money is there. We have about 50 million pounds just for being in the Champions League, which can get as a left back. So where is the money? Why are you not communicating to your fans about where the money is? It's absolutely crazy to me. I just I just cannot get my head around it. And also, you're telling me that if we hadn't qualified for the Champions League, there was no money then.

5:02Because we've only really spent about 70 and we know we get 100 from the Champions League. So if we hadn't got the 100 from the Champions League, you're telling me we wouldn't have spent anything. We'd have spent 300. We would have spent, we'd have found 300 million pounds if we weren't in the Champions League. Easy. It's disgusting. It's disgusting how every time we qualify for the Champions League, they close the bank. and every time we're not in the Champions League, they spend silly money. But it needs scrutinising. And look, Whitwell and Luckhurst and everybody else, they won't bother scrutinising it because, oh, I might not get in the press conference.

5:39But this is just basic maths, fellas. This is proper journalism. Where has the money gone? The INEOS scam should be called out. This, we've got no money left, doesn't wash. It doesn't wash at all. The Belabon money was there a year ago and it was there in January. So it's not part of this budget. Where is the money and why are we in a situation where we're putting it out with six days to go? Oh, we're struggling for money. Why? Why are we struggling for money? When is somebody going to come out and explain to the millions of people who put money into that football club where the money's gone? But don't worry.

6:16There's a tweet from the Man United account saying if you buy a shirt, you can get a free Champions League badge on it as well. So rush to the shops and get that one sorted. But is it wrong to ask the question where the money is and why silence is the best form of PR from Manchester United? Like that there is no end to that football club at all. There is no relationship with the fan base at all. They treat us like peasants. They treat us like mushrooms, keep us in the dark and shit on us. I mean, communication, communication is disgusting, absolutely disgusting. And we end up in this vacuum of uncertainty about, oh, we can't afford it.

7:00Why can't we afford it? Oh, I don't know. Get Rio to do some bloody stupid post about we've got to lower our standards. It's, I just genuinely am baffled by our behaviour in this summer transfer window. Genuinely baffled by it. We've spent nothing really. And we're now pretending that we need to sell to buy. I mean, I was reading the Simon Stone article and we'll delve into it now. But there was basically this consensus that if they can sell big in the next few days, they might be able to go and buy big. What are we going to sell big? What are we going to sell in the next six days, Big? Nothing.

7:39Collier's going to Hull for 3 million. Chelsea would get 25, Man City would get 30. Amas might go for 7 million. Man City would get 30. We can't sell. So we're not going to sell big, are we? And also, Man United are slower than a snail's turd. We're not selling somebody big and then buying somebody big in six days. You know, Wilcox has probably got annual leave booked. We're just not going to do it, are we? And this is what I mean about people waiting until the window closes to have their say. No one's going to listen. No one listens now. So no one's going to listen. The most obvious thing in the world.

8:20And if you saw Stick to United, we were talking about it. I think it's on the Disney Plus bit, actually. I don't know whether it was in the YouTube bit. was saying to Wayne, Lewis Hall is the player to go and get. And he was saying, well, you don't know whether Lewis Hall wants to come to Manchester United. And I said, well, he does. He obviously would. But you've got to write the check. And if we're not going to write the check, we're not going to do it. But the strange thing about this summer transfer window is that every player we wanted was there. It's not like we need a 20-goal striker and there's no one in the market.

8:53Everything we... This, to me, has got to be one of the most frustrating transfer windows ever. Because I think we were led to believe, I mean, even David Ornstein said it, although he's saying it was tongue in cheek, it wasn't when you heard it. He expected us to be big in the market. We expected us to be big. And the frustrating thing is the expectation was way up here. The reality is way down here. And in between is an absolute shitload of players that would be suitable for us. So it's always like a double kick in the nuts. We were expecting us to be ambitious. We haven't been ambitious. But then the worst thing is there's so many players out there that would have improved us.

9:30Well, I've never known a transfer market like it. And you're about to see it in the next six days. I mean, we're going to see, I think we're going to see two, maybe three hundred million pound deals in the Premier League to our rivals. I can see Bacola at Liverpool. I can see Enzo Fernandes at Man City. But Wadi won't be far off that. And I wouldn't be surprised if Arsenal did something as well. So the market's incredible. We're just not interested. and it's a shame. But look, come back at me if you disagree. As I said at the start, we had the 70 for Belaber last year. Brighton wanted 100. We had the 70 for Semenyu.

10:07He chose Man City in January. So this Belaber fee, for me, that money was there before the window even started. I don't include it in the budget. So we've spent£80 million this summer, 50 net. Where's the fucking money? Where is the money? We qualified for the Champions League. you've got a new manager this has got to be one of the shittest managers since David Moyes summer transfer windows for a new manager where's the money? and if the money is going to the stadium we're all grown-ups tell us the worst thing in leadership is lack of communication leaving people guessing tell people you know if you run a football team and you're going to drop your star striker tell them why don't just put the team out and run off it's cowardly leadership Why won't they tell us where the money is?

10:55Because we won't like the answer Well, it's just not leadership, is it? It's just not leadership Anyway, let's get into some of the news I just thought that was very important to say Because money has gone missing And where is it? And we're being scammed In the last few days Juventus Chief Football Officer Frederic Massara Made another call to sound out the situation of Joshua Zerksi Zerksi is expected to leave Man United Before the transfer deadline However, Juventus are not open to a loan with an obligation to buy or a permanent deal at the moment, which is what United are looking for. So it's looking like Xerxes will exit the club before the end of the transfer window, which I think is a positive.

11:38But it won't be for a fee. Now, look, I'm not going to repeat the eight o 'clock show last night, but not selling players has killed us. Not selling Rashford, not only is that£25 million in a fee, it's about another£17 million a year in wages. So not selling Rashford is£40 million, basically, this season. His wages are about£15 and his fee was£25. So Rashford not going has cost us£40 million. Xerxes being loaned and not sold is probably another£30 million. So we're£70 million down, Lewis Hall. you get his quick maths it's just so easy it's just so easy to figure out and look that's not bad luck that's not Rashford's fault that's not Xerxes' fault it's not your fault it's not Carrick's fault it's Wilcox, Barada, Favell, Sir Jim and the Glazers that's£70 million I mean look let's be honest Man City would have got£100 Chelsea would have got£100 but you can't miss out you end up with a summer like this if you can't sell you know you look at Spurs maybe they'll crash and burn maybe it'll work but it's ambitious you look at Chelsea maybe they won't have a good season but it's ambitious same with Man City same with other clubs but with Manchester United people need to get it into their heads our inability to sell is going to kill us this transfer window because we would have somewhere between 50 and 100 million pounds if we could have sold some players and we haven't Rashford should have been gone, it would have been£40 million of pure profit.

13:14Xerxes should have been gone, it would have been another£30 million and maybe a couple of others as well. And it's as simple as that. Rashford not being able to be sold and Xerxes being loaned has stopped us buying Lewis Hall. We would have the money to do it. Now, whether we would spend that money is something else, but look, Xerxes looks like he's going to go, but we're not going to get any money for it. And also, if Xerxes goes and he should go, is there time to replace him? Will they replace him? I mean, A lot of people are talking about Mateta, Ivan Toni, thankfully not De Lapp. He's gone to Forest for profit.

13:47But I don't know that we would go for a striker because Sesko isn't necessarily a starter. Mbermo seems to get put up front a lot. Kunja can play up front and Rashford can play up front. So it might be Xerxes goes and we may do.

14:05Which technically means we're reducing our squad from last season or we're replacing Rashford with Xerxes. It's a strange one. So Xerxes looks like he's going. I do want to talk to you about this story that came out last night. Very, very strange. Very, very strange story. So Lacer, which I've never heard of, it's got one and a half million followers on X and it's a Spanish outlet, basically saying that Manchester United are going to do a double deal and are prepared to make an offer for Camavinga. Now, it's just strange. it's really strange because I don't it doesn't make any sense now because we've got Balaba, Tillemans and Santos but there was a lot of noise about it last night and the only thing I would say is anything's possible in this transfer window I mean we weren't really going for Balaba and then he's suddenly a player we weren't really going for Santos and he was suddenly a player nobody'd really heard about Tillemans and he was suddenly a player and look at what everybody else is doing.

15:08You know, Morgan Rodgers for 117 million. So it's a weird transfer window. I would completely admit that. But I'd be very surprised if we did go for Kamavinga. I think I feel like if you didn't see it last night, it came out quite late last night. And maybe, maybe in a different transfer window, it could have been a United stand live at 11 o 'clock. We're going for Kamavinga, but absolutely not anymore. Those days are gone. Thanks to Ineos. But look, anything can happen. And it would be foolish to sit here and say, absolutely never going to happen. But I'd be very surprised. Camavinga would probably cost north of 60 million, which kills anything any straight away.

15:45I'm not sure he wants to come in and be a left back for Manchester United. And we're stacked in the midfield now. So I don't think there's anything to that. What I do think is quite interesting about Real Madrid is that maybe they're using Man United to push Camavinga out. You know, like we've got no intention, but use Man United to generate interest. That's what it could be all about. But I also think it's quite funny about Chumini, isn't it? Because I think we have been played a lot this summer and I'm not going to name the journalists names, but there's been multiple of them that even two weeks ago was talking about Chumini and how, you know, keep an eye on that.

16:22It could still happen, blah, blah, blah. And sometimes, you know, reputationally, you think, oh, if this goes the other way, I'm going to look a bit of an idiot. But Chumini to Man United stopped in early June. Like we had that from as close as you're going to get it. It was never coming back. I always found it strange when TalkSport or Athletic or whoever these journalists are kept talking about the possibility of Chumini late in the window. Because he's literally Mourinho's main man. literally had a big pay rise. And you sort of like go, and remember this was before we bought Belaber. So it's a toxic environment.

17:01And when you say it's definitely not happening and people are going, what do you know? Like it was never happening, but it kept staying around. And the reason I mentioned that is because I almost feel like Lewis Hall's a bit like that now. Like it's still a name that's circulating amongst, I heard Laurie Whitwell talking about it last night, Simon Stone this morning. It's still there. You know, it's like your mate down the pub lamenting about his dream woman who's happily married with a millionaire and, you know, he's got no chance, but he keeps talking about her every Friday night. Like, Lewis Hall is not going to happen now.

17:41We've blown it. But it's still being spoken about. I don't know why that's happened this summer. I don't know. I don't know. I mean, look, the fear is that you mentioned Chiumini, you mentioned Lewis Hall, you're buying days. You're almost covering days off. If we can get through the next two days talking about Chiumini, that's another two days marked off to get to the end of the window. Are they just throwing stuff out there now to distract us just because they know once we hit next Wednesday, it's over. I've got no idea what's going to happen in these next few days, but it won't be Lewis Hall and it won't be Chiumini.

18:17And it never was going to be those.

18:22Simon Stone on the left back situation. Let me bring this in. And I think the left back situation now is becoming. I mean, how many how many of these situations that we have? I mean, the left back situation sort of reminds me of so many, so many last weeks of the window, whether it's January or the summer. It reminds me of that. I think it was the Agarlo January transfer window where we desperately needed to striker and you're sort of talking about really good strikers, you know, the Lewis Hall equivalent of strikers. And then as you get closer and closer to the deadline day, you're like, it's getting worse and worse and worse.

19:02And then you wake up on transfer deadline day and they go from Josh King, Joshua King, the Norwegian, to Rondon, to Agalo. And I feel like the left back now, I feel like the train's left the station with the left back for me. Absolutely, we need a left back, but I think the priority of what was needed, we've already missed out on. What I think is really important is we need a starting left back. Like Luke Shaw ain't going to get by on Ricky. And what I mean by that is opening game of the season, he's been 4K'd, ridiculed by the mainstream, the ex-player community, the fan base. The guy is 31. He's swimming against the tide in relation to age and fitness.

19:56He's not turning this ship around. so we desperately need a starting left back and i think with the amount of days that are left the left back we get is not going to be of the quality that we need we're just there's nothing in the market and unless we do something crazy like sign truffett from bournemouth which i would absolutely love i just don't see i i see a left back hopefully but i don't see what we want We need a starting left back who goes straight into the team. You need the equivalent of Tillemans at left back, basically. I can see us going for the equivalent of...

22:26I don't even know. I nearly said Le Mans, but that worked. I just can't see us getting away with that. I mean, Le Mans was brilliant and Tony Coton deserves huge credit, but we're not going to get away with that again. We were so lucky to bring this young keeper in from a foreign league and he turned out to be brilliant. So my concern now is I think the ship has sailed. I think we will possibly get a left back in, but there'll be an understudy to Luke Shaw. In fact, that's exactly what I think will happen. I think we'll bring an understudy in who Luke Shaw's the starter. He's the understudy. And then when Luke Shaw gets injured, he gets thrown in to the deep end and it's another sink or swim.

23:08And you know, when you look at Balaba, again, stick to United, I'll shout it out. Rooney was talking about the pressure on Tillemans and Santos and how any new Man United signing has to accept you will be under huge pressure. Scrutiny, media, this, that and the other. Now you get some people in our fan base that go, too much pressure. Rooney got pressure when he signed from Everton 20 years ago. Roy Keane got it 30 years ago. David Beckham got it coming through the youth team. It's not new to get pressure at Manchester United. And Rooney's right. Tillemans, Santos, Balaba, you do need to come in with your eyes wide open because whether it's fair or not, at Manchester United, you're scrutinised like nobody else.

23:56And there will be that pressure and nobody can alleviate that pressure because it's Manchester United. You can't stop it. It's an unstoppable force. You cannot stop the fact that Cesco, Yoro, any new signing, any young player is in the spotlight like nowhere else. Why are you talking about this? Because if you bring a young understudy in for Luke Shaw, how many players have we got in that team now that we need to develop and deal with the pressure? because it's a scary number. You've got Yoro, you've got Heaven, you've got Maynou, you've got Santos, you've got Baleba, you've got Dorgu, you've got Sesko, you've got Lacey.

24:43You know, we have an abundance of exciting, talented players, but they all need nurturing. How many leaders have we got to lead them? How many? Roy Keane's, Gary Neville's, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Michael Carrick's, Eric Cantona, Steve Bruce, Dennis Irwin. We have a lot of players in a high pressure environment who need to develop in the headlights. In fact, we've got more players that need to develop in the pressure than we have got leaders. that's quite interesting but my point goes back to nothing deeper than that's why we needed the starting left back you've already got Santos, Balaba and Mainu the midfield is 75 % prospects you can't then bring another prospect left back in we do need I mean look for me it's not a terrible idea to go and sign someone like Aram from Leipzig or a Robinson from Fulham.

25:53It's not a terrible idea. But you've got to bring people in and we're ready to go. You have to. And I can see us bringing in an understudy to Luke Shaw. I can. Newcastle don't want to sell Lewis Hall and it would take a huge offer to persuade them otherwise. Yeah, we won't be doing that. That was from Simon Stone. He also said, with a week to go before the transfer, sorry, Simon Stone, if you don't know who it is, BBC journalist, been a correspondent around Man United for years, very, very respected journalist. He says, with a week to go before the transfer window closes, the situation is thought to be fluid, but caution in United circles around the expectations of a new left back being signed is stressed.

26:41I mean, this is Simon Stone. This is a new article. Remember I said yesterday, There was a few articles out there from different outlets talking about waiting for a left back next summer, might not even sign a left back. Another journalist who would fall into the client journalist category of somebody that's close to the club saying that it's being stressed, that expectations around a new left back need to be, you know, cautioned. The club are literally briefing there might not even be a left back. So, you know, the reality is up here, you need a starting left back who's good enough to play for Man United in the Champions League and the Premier League.

27:25I think we're going to end up with an understudy who's not ready. There is also an option where we don't even get one. So that's the reality of the last, you know, six days of this transfer window. But I would go back to the start of the video again and I would say, can we find out, can somebody write an article or ask a question or get into Barada and get him to publicly tell us where the money has gone? Because it's all right, the window closing and we don't buy a left back and we don't buy a striker. But where's the money gone? You had the£80 million Sorry, you had the£70 million for Belaba last year You had the£70 million for Semenu in January So that's not part of the budget Because you've not spent it anywhere else So you're telling me our budget this summer Was£80 million of which you've had£30 back £50 million when we qualified for the Champions League Where's the money?

28:14Where's the budget? It's pitiful Now United will lie And they'll say we've spent£150 million And they won't take the outgoings off and they'll pretend that the belabor money is part of this summer, but it's not. Where's the money? Where is the money? And why aren't we being communicated to? For British Jaramano, it says, Man United remain in contact with George Mendes about the opportunity to sign Bolday. However, at the moment for United, the conditions of the deal need to change or it is too expensive for them. Look, there's a few people talking about Rashford potentially being part of a deal for Barcelona.

28:55there's two things you need to understand in life. Sometimes if you do your research, you get the answer. Anthony Gordon is on the bench for Barcelona. He came on at the weekend and he did very well. They don't need Marcus Rashford. They've moved on from Marcus Rashford. So Barcelona and Marcus Rashford would be an extraordinary revisit. It won't happen, I don't think. But also, as per Simon Stone, The idea of Marcus Rashford leaving this summer has virtually been ruled out with confirmation he will wear the coveted number nine shirt this season. So not only is Marcus Rashford not expected to leave, it's more or less expected that he will be back forever at Manchester United.

29:41Which, look, I'm not scared to say this. I think some people are. that the fact is United would have took that£25 million in May and got rid of Rashford. This is how shallow our vision as a football club is. In May, we'd have took the£25 million and got rid of the wage and been happy to do it. We probably would have held a party. In August, he's got the number nine shirt and he's starting. Now, please tell me any business in any area of life that would get rid of something in May happily but then in August he's saying, yeah, this is the future. There's a word for it. I can't figure out what it is, but absolutely clueless might be another one, but can't be trusted.

30:25Yeah. Incompetent. Good. The problem with it is you wanted rid of him. You would have got rid of him. And now is your star player again. Why? What's changed in three months? Well, you can't sell him. so now you've got to repackage the lie that's I don't blame Rashford I don't blame Carrick but it's 2026 and we're repackaging Marcus Rashford as the saviour in a number 9 shirt whereas we all know he'd be in Barcelona if he'd got his way and the club had got their way it's just what's the vision of this football club we should be sponsored by Elastoplast because it's just plaster's over the wound all the time the trouble is we're bleeding so heavily as soon as they put a plaster on, we can see the blood coming through.

31:12There is no illusion anymore. It's just constant lies and scams and pretense and PR. And you can't move away from that. Where's the money gone? We should have another 150 million quid. Where's it gone? And how are you packaging Rashford up as the great saviour when you would have sold him easily in May and now he's here because you can't get rid of him? Everywhere you look, it's just this level of incompetence. But going back to Balde, I don't know how that Balde deal happens because the, oh, I've got some news about Mason Mount from Sam C. Brilliant up and coming journalist, Sam C, by the way.

31:48I think in relation to Balde, I wouldn't stray away from the fact that this just feels a little bit agent led and it feels a little bit like United would not be able to do anything with regards to Barcelona because of the relationship they've got. we've tried to play Billy Big Bollocks with Barcelona already it started in February and I remember Romano saying it and I remember a few other people saying it where Barcelona were happy with Rashford but we're thinking about a another loan deal or a cheaper price and United were like no it's 25 million pounds or he's coming back and we'll find another buyer and I think United really thought they had power in the situation and they ended up looking stupid because Barcelona just went elsewhere.

32:47With Balde, Barcelona won 30 million quid, Man United won a loan. There's only one winner here and it's not Man United. So again, I feel like Balde has almost become a fantasy story to cover the last few days of the window. I would, in relation to the left back, I would be looking at left backs who are young in this sort of door goo mold who may be very good on football manager or FC 26. I'd be looking around there because Favell loves prospects and he has a very big say in the transfer window. If you look at Belaba, they went for a 22-year-old over someone in their mid-20s. If you look at Sesco, they went for someone in their early 20s over an experienced player.

33:42If you look at Le Mans, they went for a young player over a more experienced player. So I think there is a pattern here that when United are uncertain, they default to what Favell wants. So I would look at somebody that's probably, we've probably only got 20 million as well. So I think we'll end up going for somebody young.

34:04The more you listen to your kids, the closer you'll be. So we asked kids, what do you want your parents to hear? I feel sometimes that I'm not listened to. I would just want you to listen to me more often and evaluate situations with me and lead me towards success. Listening is a form of love.

36:08So I can't see, I can't see us getting bold, really. But look, it's not even about being proved right. I mean, I don't think, I don't, I've not spoke to a United fan who wants to be proved right. I think it's about, we saw what happened. I mean, Hull has almost been swept under the carpet, hasn't it? You've got Bruno winning the PFA award last night. Carrick's there dressed up really nice. Belaber comes in a positive Tuesday. Stick to United comes out, always the best day of the week. But Tuesday was a very positive day for Manchester United. And Hull is almost a distant memory. But in reality, we all saw what happened against Hull.

36:46And whilst I think and hope we go and beat Ipswich, Everton and City and suddenly everything's rosy again, we all know there's more Hull. I mean, you only need 10 Hulls for it to be a bit of a bad season. And we've already had one. And what I mean by that is losing to Liverpool is another Hull. Losing to City is another Hull. So I can see the left back thing needs to be in sharp focus because it's a big factor in, as I've said many times, I don't think there's a United fan out there that's being unrealistic. I think United fans have been very realistic and very fair, but we're still not getting what we absolutely need.

37:31and I just see this scenario where Luke Shaw's never going to get any better. And at some point he realises there's no Will Cup at the end of the season and no one rates him. So he has a couple of months off. Injured, obviously. And then Dorgu comes in and, you know, people don't want Dorgu at left back. So everything's over scrutinised and we end up in a mess. And I don't think, look, I think right back gets away with it because we've got Deleuwe and Masraoui. I genuinely do not think Deleuwe and Masraoui are the answer at right back as well. So it's very important that we get somebody good in at left back.

38:06And look, I would take Anthony Robinson. Absolutely. I thought he was brilliant against Chelsea the other night. I thought he was very unlucky not to score. It was on his right foot. We just need somebody who can start at left back. This is not about a backup. This is about a starter. I've just been told by Sam C on X. Mason Mount trade with Man United yesterday ahead of Sunday's game against Ipswich. He's not featured since the injury against PSG. Michael Carrick did describe it as touch and go ahead of the defeat to Hull. I mean, that's a bit of positive news. I think in relation to Mason Mount, I'm very relaxed about the situation with Mason Mount now because he won't start in the midfield.

38:54Imagine if Carrick starts Mason Mount ahead of Santos or Balaba or Tillemans or mainly. So I've got no interest in Mason Mount. If we could sell him, I'd do it now. He's on a million pounds a month. He wears the number seven shirt and we spent 55 million pounds on him. Absolutely. People talk about the money we wasted on Sancho. We've already spent on Mason mount close to 55 for the fee 12 million a year that's another 36 fucking hell how many years has he been here three years so 91 million we've spent on mount so far including fee and wages 91 million pounds so no i've got no interest in mason mount um if he can come off the bench and do well.

39:43Great. But we've covered the midfield off. That's the greatest thing. I didn't want him anywhere near our midfield. You can't rely on him. Best of luck to the lad, but you can't rely on him. What happened to Lewis Page, says Jack? Again, I don't know. I mean, look, that was at one point, again, looked like he might be our third midfielder. As a prospect, I don't mind us buying him, but yeah. Balde's staying at Manchester United. OK, so he's not staying at Manchester United. Balde is staying at. Let me have a quick look. This is breaking news.

40:25Well, what a double whammy. Mason Mount's back in training and Balde staying at Barcelona. Lovely stuff. Things can only get better. Well, this is the problem with the left back, isn't it? Who could it be? I mean, Kadi Oglu has been mentioned. But okay, this is just breaking from Fabrizio in the last minute. Understand Balde has informed Barcelona about his desire to stay and compete for a spot. His intention is clear. Decision up to the club after exploring a sale. Only a big proposal from a top club can change the scenario from now to deadline day. Well, that, yeah, we can't do that deal now.

41:00We can't afford that deal. And he wants to stay at Barcelona. And I, you know, much the same as what Arsenal fans are saying about Alvarez. Alvarez would cost Arsenal 150 million euros and he doesn't want to go to Arsenal so as good as he is I don't think you should do a deal like that and Balde would cost money we haven't got and he wants to stay at Barcelona so I don't I think close that door close the Lewis Hall deal what are we left with every time we qualify for the Champions League we struggle says Sujet twice over the last five years yet we have not learned staying in the Champions League this year is absolutely essential.

41:39We can't yo-yo in and out. It's not an achievement to get in the Champions League and then stand still. You should go again. We need a left back, a right back and a left winger. Rahm, Einer and Liao, says Amos. What happened to Lewis Page who's done that from Jack? Surely if Shaw's contract is out in 2027, then getting Bolday now and another left back next summer makes complete sense as Clarkie. Well, yeah, the need for two left backs is what you're basically saying because Luke Shaw needs removing next summer, doesn't he? More importantly, Do you think Balde is a BLT or a fish finger kind of guy, says Shane?

42:15Sujay, welcome to the Members Club. Thank you. Oh, just a reminder to the Members. Welcome to the Members Club, Sujay. Remember, Stick to United comes out every Tuesday for everybody on YouTube.

And tomorrow morning, we've got a bit of exclusive stuff with me and Wayne.

42:51It's a good one this week. Chocolate is involved and it's a bit of, well, let me be honest with you. It's a quiz and it's a good one. You'll enjoy it. It's a reimagining of a quiz off the telly. So that's out tomorrow for the members. So check it out. Thank you very much. If you are a member, if you're not, you can click and join. If they are planning on renewing Shaw in the summer, they won't buy a backup now because Shaw will become the backup next season, says Rory. I wouldn't put it past them. Carrick is part of the same English bias brigade as Ollie. He will always pick Maguire, Shaw, Rashford.

43:23I think this is a good point by Connie. I personally do not think Michael Carrick wants to drop Luke Shaw. Not been told it, but I personally think Michael Carrick sees Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw, Marcus Rashford and Bruno as absolutely I'm starting you every game favourites. Everybody's got them. You know, Arteta is fortunate to have good players as his favourites like Saliba, Gabriel, Rice, Saka. But I think Luke Shaw fixtures in Michael Carrick's favourites. So is that not an indication that we might not buy a starting left back as well? I just don't think he benches Luke Shaw. I might be wrong, but I don't think he will.

44:07I can see Luke Shaw being our starting left back this season. If you're going for an understudy like Salinos, why are you selling Amas? Makes no sense. Amas has at least played in the championship. Emily, brilliant comment. I've got no idea why Amas is being moved on if you're going to go and buy a foreign young left back. As you say, Amas has done very well in the championship and you may as well keep your money in your pocket. If we're going to go for a kid as an understudy to Luke Shaw, we may as well keep Amas and use Dorgoo there as well. Rio should ask the Glazers to accept lower mid-table standards and reduce ticket prices accordingly.

44:41Also stop overhauling and sell clubs as Sarvesh. Yeah, thank you everybody for your reaction to my response to Rio's ridiculous video yesterday. He seems to be just the mouthpiece of the Glazers at the moment, shouting absolute shit. And it should be challenged because we shouldn't lower our standards and we're not idiots for holding on to those standards, in my opinion. Any news on Agate, says Kiel? no won't be for a few months it makes no sense we would have the budget for a new stadium if we were successful on the pitch they are the most backwards owners ever says ITAC Patrick Lynch hope you're doing well says the board have continually shown they're terrible negotiators obviously have a set budget it's why we always bid very low but end up paying full price it creates the illusion of negotiating thank you Patrick hope you're doing very well Daniel Darvish has been a member for 69 months thanks for being a member Daniel United said 65 million max for Hall so we must have 65 million says podcast clips and Daniel says, hi Mark, hope you're well.

45:34By not spending, they're basically saying Carrick's work last season means and meant nothing. By not backing him shows they have no confidence in. I mean, I think that's a great point as well. Ask yourself this question, has Michael Carrick been backed? I don't think, even if you're pro-Glinius or anything like that, if you're pro-Glinius, you've got to be anti-Carrick because I don't think anybody can sit here and say that he's been backed. He hasn't been backed. You've been on this before, Says Carl, the club don't believe in Carrick. Give bigger budget to next manager. Lack of ambition. Thank you, Carl.

46:10Did some research after Chelsea sold the lap for 15 million profit. In 10 years, we've sold five non-academy players for profit, totaling 21 million. R Smith, thank you. Nothing on Mateta at the moment, Carl. We'll have to see if anything happens if Xerxes goes. And the problem is they bought the biggest club in the world and then tried restricting our budget. It's not right. It's a privilege to own our football club, says ITAC. And Valk says, Clover from Glynios with the comments about Hull being out of the picture this summer because of Sesco price also just puts more unnecessary pressure on Sesco and distract the fans to aim frustration.

46:43Every time I've done that one from Sujai as well. Sorry, I think I've just had something coming in here. Oh, yeah. Ball day off. That's from Beth. OK, thank you, everybody. Thank you, everybody, much. Thank you, everybody, for tuning in this morning. We are back. I think I think it's one o 'clock we do the show now and not two o 'clock, isn't it? Yeah, I think we're at one o 'clock. so yeah back at one eight o 'clock show tonight is normal obviously we'll go live if anything happens but I wouldn't suggest that's going to happen make sure you check out Stick to United and if you are a member or you want to be a member new video today new video tomorrow starting to stack up on the members section now there's a lot to watch so check it out speak to you in a bit take care
