Howard Nurse (original tier 1 Man Utd reporter) said like 2-3 weeks ago Man Utd weren't signing him. Romano said yesterday Man Utd were signing him.

TLDR: Another instance of Romano being a joke.

Yeah, everything I've seen is that United weren't willing to table an offer, rather than the player choosing Liverpool (which he might have done anyway, in fairness). There'd be no reason for PSV not to try and push a bidding war if not.

Some scuttlebutt that ETH wanted him but the scouts and the directors weren't willing to put down that much money when they hadn't budgeted for it, which is making me do the Marge Simpson noise, but there's a fine fine line between being an ITK and being a peddler of unsourced Twitter bullshit.

a loan from January until May

I suppose they have £10m or so in the bank from loaning their £100m striker back to the club they bought him from

And the discussion around Mudryk is Shaktar pegged his value to the Antony transfer, so, thanks for that, United.

Antony at the point United signed him had 25 goals in 82 games in a significantly stronger league (and one which wasn't actively continuing to play in a warzone for financial reasons), and was starting for Brazil. And even then he was sold at a premium because United had already been in for Ten Hag + Martinez and Ajax had barely any time to get replacements.

I'm not saying they can't price him the same, but if you get visited by the ghost of Andriy Voronin, it's your own fault.

Apparently Man U have signed Wout Weghorst on loan

I've been substituting his name into the "I Believe In Joe Hendry" song for approximately one calendar week

I feel like seeing him play at this point would only lead to disappointment

to be fair, they got 100+ games out of Rudiger and Jorginho and moved them on when they were old

the rest is the perils of signing Bundesliga players and man who shoots the ball into he own face

dunno how id feel heading into a cup final seeing rumors of my impending replacement but im not a professional footballer ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

i'm loving the idea of harry maguire, an £80m player who has been most recently sat on the bench in favour of playing a left-back out of position, showing up to the cup final with a face on because he's read in the paper that ten hag doesn't rate him

also apparently we're in for Rasmus Hojlund as an actual striker, and I'm doing the bacon dance to summon a dane to tell me if I should care about that
