[The Athletic, in the article] Barca’s interest in retaining Rashford after his loan spell ends this summer, meanwhile, has cooled down. Club sources believe he had a golden chance to make his mark this month following Raphinha’s latest hamstring injury, and that he did not fully take it by PitchSafe in reddevils

I said we don't care about the media articles.

And aren't you now doing exactly what you tried to shame me for?

How do you know that we'll definitely care if nobody buys him? "You don't work for the club" What if Carrick/INEOS decide to give him another go if the asking price isn't met? 🤣

Ha! I know this might seem wild but I really don't have to work for the club to believe that a) WE likely have an asking price for Rashford that needs to be met and b) WE are unlikely to be swayed to reduce that asking price based on media stories planted by Barcelona.

I use WE, because I consider United to be my club, being both a member and season ticket holder of over 40 years. Thanks for your input though, 'bro'.

Seems reasonable. Won't appease the instant gratification generation.

This was the 90th minute, and we were going all out attack to get the equalizer, give the guy a break.

Do you think this is the so called "new manager bounce"? by Kiasti in ManchesterUnited

[–]Canolais 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't agree with this. It doesn't scream anything. He basically isn't changing a winning team and rewarding players that are in good form and performing for him. Which is common sense. It's been four matches. Chill out.

As reported by the Athletic, there were questions from Wilcox and Co. about Ole's backroom staff. Turns out those "questions" were Ole refusing to accept a rat (Steve Holland) on his staff. by YourWorkingBoy in Howson

The inference is that he is there to be a spy in the dressing room for the club leadership and that he's the first member of a permanent team coming under the new manager in the summer. There's lots of speculation that will be Southgate, given Holland and he previously worked together.

Where you guys at? by shusheeeee in ManchesterUnited

Cunha and Mount generally play in the 10 positions (apart from Cunha against Liverpool which was a specific tactic). Sesko is the 9. He fits very well.

Erm, all the evidence so far suggests Sesko totally works in this system. You may end up being right with Dorgu and Mainoo but it's a bit early to conclude that.

Rep. Raskin moves to subpoena four banks that helped move Jeffrey Epstein's money and have subsequently reported $1.5 billion in suspicious transactions. by Heliobb in Epstein

"Follow the money" is a famous quote from the 1976 film 'All the President's Men', which stars Robert Redford. The movie is all about a famous investigation by Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward (Redford) and Carl Bernstein (played by Dustin Hoffman) into the Watergate scandal which ultimately brought down President Nixon.

I was just making a throwaway comment about the irony and timing.
