Bruno Fernandes just extended his contract with Man U till 2026 with an option of a further one-year extension . That should quell the rumours about a possible Barca bid. And that definitely means a likely pay rise. Man U's board members have mastered the art of money wastage.

It will be very naive of anyone to expect Burnley will take points off a business-like Man City. Yes, we all want an intriguing battle between Liverpool and Man City for the league but City won't slip up at underwhelming Burnley. They're two goals up at half time by the way.
Reports have it that Manchester United are now very close to finalising the deal to sign Erik Ten Hag. Even though most people favoured Mauricio Pochettino for the job recent developments may have contributed to the swift move for Ten Hag. Real Madrid will win La Liga this season. However, they are not one of the favourites to win the Champions League. Ancelotti will be sacked if he doesn't win the cherished trophy and Pochettino is the rumoured favourite to take over the…
Looks like Manchester United's decision to appoint Ten Hag has made some people in the French capital very sad. PSG fully expected Man U to sign Pochettino. They don't want him anymore and will have to fork out £17M to sack him. If another club were to sign him however they wouldn't have to pay him a dime. With Madrid stunning Chelsea at the Champions League QF you can't rule them out now. That strengthens Ancelotti's position at Madrid. With no advances from Madrid and…
I was busy scrolling down a page when I stumbled upon this quote that infuriated me, "...this guy is 50 and still does this, it's outstanding. He's about the same level as a Xavi or Iniesta." The quote above was Thierry Henry's way of praising Luka Modric for his outstanding performance against Chelsea, especially that unbelievable pass for Rodrygo's goal. He was being praised here so you have to wonder what got me infuriated. It's none other than the word 'about' used in…
Alisson Becker has played 40 games for Liverpool this season. His weekly wage is £150,000. He was already one of the best goalkeepers in the world when Liverpool signed him. Ederson has played 39 games for Man City this season. His weekly wage is £65,000. Edouard Mendy has played 38 games for Chelsea this season. His weekly wage is £52,000. Aaron Ramsdale has played 30 games for Arsenal this season. His weekly wage is £35,000. Dean Henderson has played just 3 games for Man U…
Romelu Lukaku needs to be saved as soon as possible! A club needs to come clear and buy this dude before he becomes the forgotten man of football. His confidence is hit and it doesn't look like he will recover at Chelsea again. Brought in against Madrid he was presented with two very good chances. The Lukaku of old will score one of those two headed chances. Benzema had scored two headed chances of his own that match. Instead Lukaku wasted both chances. Yesterday, he had a…
The last time I've seen Man U this terrible was probably during the Moyes era. They go into games looking defeated already. The current bunch of players look uninterested in football. Ten Hag's appointment was well celebrated but he won't change the first 11 in one transfer window. As things stands I don't see myself watching any of the four remaining matches United has this season. I won't waste eight precious hours of my life watching a group of bums who only cares about…
I may not be the most ardent supporter of Mino Raiola's negotiation tactics but I have to admit he opened a new chapter in football. There was a time when footballers were nothing more than showmen, playing so many games and getting so little in the form of wages as the clubs and their owners swallowed most of the profit in football. Raiola gave players power and made them belief they deserved more money for their services. He fought admirably for his clients. Even though no…
