Arsenal knew all about this. We all knew about this. Yet they carried on playing him. Imagine we’d have done that with Greenwood.

Not a fan of the ‘option’. Need to insist on it being an obligation with no opportunity to back out of it. Been stung with this type of loan far too many times already and this is just putting everything off until next year.
🚨 Barcelona advancing on deal to sign Marcus Rashford from Man Utd. Offer via intermediaries loan + buy option. #MUFC have agreed - not done but final stages. Flick approves 27yo England int’l; suits #FCBarcelona on football/financial level @TheAthleticFC nytimes.com/athletic/60776…
Your club offered his family and agent a royalty cheque and he earns more in a week than half the league combined due to him getting more backhanders than Tina Turner. Not to mention, that all of this was paid for while cheating your way to significance. Fucking turn it in.
In a world where man united paid £71m for Mbeumo we paid just £51m for haaland
I would have 100% taken Chloe Kelly at United. Pretty sure she was keen to come in January too, and we were keen to get her in, but City blocked that move because it was United (typical…) and she ended up back at Arsenal.
Introduced in the 78th minute. Assist for Lucy Bronze in the 79th minute. Assist for Michelle Agyemang in the 81st minute. Converted her penalty. Chloe Kelly. ✨
This has to be it. Third and FINAL offer. Walk away if they don’t accept this, they’ve already moved the goalposts on his valuation at least once this summer.
🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Manchester United make improved bid to sign Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford. New offer for 26yo forward worth £65m fixed + £5m add-ons. #MUFC awaiting #BrentfordFC response as they work to close deal for Cameroon int’l & top target @TheAthleticFC nytimes.com/athletic/64569…
For more than three years, Thomas Partey played for Arsenal after being accused of very serious sexual offences. “It’s Arsenal,” reasoned one of the women who made allegations against him. “They won’t just ignore it.” But Arsenal's stance never shifted - and there were even…
We’re definitely going in for him aren’t we. I like the player, but not so much at this stage of his career. It’s not exactly like when we signed Zlatan or Cavani is it.
BREAKING: Newcastle confirm Callum Wilson has left the club following the end of his contract 🚨
I try to be quite balanced when it comes to transfers because I know it’s not like FIFA or FM where you can just get them done, but my God we are terrible at getting people through the door. Preseason starts on Monday and your primary targets should already be sorted for that.

🗣️ Bayern CEO Karl–Heinz Rummenigge on players complaining about the packed football calendar: “I get why they’re frustrated — but players and their agents have played a part in this. By constantly demanding higher wages, they’ve pushed clubs to chase bigger revenues. And where…
Oh do fuck off. I get that it’s a negotiation, but why the fuck has it taken DAYS for them to reject it. Just like us to have these clubs drag these things out.
BREAKING: Man United's second bid for Bryan Mbeumo worth £62.5m including add-ons has been rejected by Brentford 🚨🔴
City spending money like a team that already knows they’ve been found not guilty. Wasn’t that impressed with the signings during the Jan window, felt like players that would be happy with a year in the Championship, but some really decent signings so far this window. Bastards 😂
🚨 EXCL: Man City close to agreement with Rosenborg for Sverre Nypan. #MCFC not among January suitors but now moving. Subject to finalising player terms, 18yo will be record sale for Norwegian league + go on season-long loan. W/ @JordanC1107 @TheAthleticFC nytimes.com/athletic/62804…
The first couple of points in this clip, and the bit at the end, seems to explain things well enough to show how we’re able to sign these players. But that middle bit. That part about using different accounts to satisfy PSR. Something sounds a bit dodgy there to me.
"Manchester United have been using another company called Red Football for PSR purposes" Kieran Maguire explains Manchester United's financial situation and how they are able to afford the likes of Matheus Cunha in this transfer window 🔴
United being absolute dog dirt for a decade has given fans of other, lesser clubs a false sense of importance.
Boiling piss because players want to join us and boiling piss because players want to stay. We’re shit and fans of other clubs are still obsessed.
Right here we go then, be prepared for outlets to report the Cunha fee in Japanese Yen, Russian Ruble and Turkish Lira just so they can make it look much more inflated than the original fee.
When someone drives their car purposely into innocent people, including children, I don’t give a fuck if their friends say they’re a nice guy, if they are a company director, if they were in the armed forces, or if they live in a fucking cul-de-sac, I care they go to jail. Fuck.
Even in an end of season friendly, against a team of players nobody has even heard of, the ball goes up to Hojlund and comes straight back. He’s a hindrance to the team at this point, the kid needs a rest.
This a bit small time this isn’t it.
🚨 Aston Villa plan to make official complaint to PL after loss at Man Utd denies club CL qualification. #AVFC feel a more experienced referee should have been selected to officiate game of such magnitude. PL have been approached for comment @TheAthleticFC nytimes.com/athletic/63816…
