So we have now ended talks after the fan backlash.
This is truly a 3 ring circus
Have seen some reports linking us with SMS again. That would be a good addition to the midfield

More.
With the belief that a deal for Frenkie de Jong to #mufc could be reached at one stage during the summer, Erik ten Hag thought it was unnecessary to consider any alternatives #mulive [@SamiMokbel81_DM]

How long do you want to ignore this user?
There's so much conflicting FdJ crap out there that it's beyond laughable. Can't even blame Woodward for this nonsense anymore. It's a whole new raft of people who are seemingly getting simple things wrong.
Only hope is that they learn from their mistakes but I'm not holding my breath.

Okay, I call BS on this.Furlock Bones said:

IF he didn't consider alternatives, why in the world would he ever admit to not considering alternatives.
If I know the FDJ transaction was 50/50 at best, then why in the world would ETH not at least consider the possibility that it wasn't going to work out.
If he didn't then he is a functional moron and should be fired today, because he is not prepared to run a prominent club. But he isn't a moron, and so I doubt the validity of this story. At least I cannot believe he is dumb enough to admit that he is a functional moron.
Agree that it's complete BS but for a slightly different reason. Even if ETH didn't think alternatives were necessary THAT'S NOT HIS JOB.
He doesn't get to make that assessment. It's the role of the director to assess how the negotiations are going and to provide options/players who can fit the team and manager's need regardless of how likely or unlikely the manager thinks Player A will or won't join.
He should be informed and consulted but he's not responsible for determining the likelihood of Player A joining. It's the exact same setup as Ajax so I'm 99.99% sure he knows that.

You are correct, I was more thinking of the story saying ETH didn't think not getting de Jong wasn't a possibility, but whomever is handling the transfer market for United should have also warned ETH of the possibility and been planning for another option. Good grief, the player said he didn't want to leave, so you knew there were issues.
But, again, that's why I call BS on the article.

So is PSG really interested in Rashford and why?
That's a complete non-story to me. Even if they are interested, there is no way he's going anywhere this window.
Martial and Lindelof still out with injury. So you know...at least everything is horrible and there's no hope on any front. At least keeps things consistent.
Dude….
We are just awful
Brighton and Brentford go brrrrrrrrr
What the efffff
Comically terrible
Geez this is terrible.
United is the red and white team, right? Right??
Incredible.

I was joking when I posted this last year. I swear!
Eric Ten Hag may not be enough. You're talking Eleven, possibly Twelve Hag now at least.

Erik Ten Weeks? Erik Ten Months?
Barca is signing players with money they don't have and not paying players they do have.
United is refusing to sign or incapable of signing players with money they do have.
I'm not sure which is more incompetent.

Pain. Just not even sure what the point is anymore. One of the things I enjoy (soccer in general) just makes me so miserable now.
Sports is the worst invention of man I swear to god.

Made especially worse by watching Man Dhabi just prior to this match he the Pep/Messi/Iniesta Barcelona reborn.
Haaland dragging 3 defenders with him like a moons revolving around a planet. Letting the rest of their ethereal stars break the back of the net.
And then you feel this nonsensical, ridiculous feeing of stoic, honorable devotion. That you're supposed to endure this misery for years if necessary as that's the only honorable response. If you don't, then you're not allowed to experience joy at some point in the future.
Seriously there is nothing worse than sports and yet…here I am. Rationally aware that it's so ****ing stupid and yet unable to stop. I'm not going to deny my kids an interest in sports but I'm definitely not going to actively stoke it either.

It's not sports you despise. It's sports owners that prioritize making money over being competitive. It's possible to do both but it takes work and a willingness to let competent professionals run things.
Some are willing to do it. Some are not.
