Manchester United news, opinions and more; keeping you up to date with all things #MUFC & bringing you opinions from fans. Support the team, defend the club.
It's well known that Bruno has a release clause in his contract for teams outside of the PL which is about £60m so this is a wild hypothetical. Might as well ask if we'd accept £200m for Manuel Ugarte. Pointless exercise.
Let’s run a hypothetical scenario.
Real Madrid offer £150m for Bruno Fernandes. No club realistically turns that down.
Bruno has been our best player for years, comfortably. But he’s 31 now. Getting that kind of fee for him would be incredible business.
If you reject that proposal, you’re not thinking progressively. United sold prime Ronaldo and eventually recovered — we can recover from losing Bruno too.
The reality is, Bruno can be replaced with that money. There are talented options all over Europe. It’s about finding the right fit for United, not pretending replacements don’t exist.
🚨 One of Sir Alex Ferguson's biggest transfer regrets wasn't because Manchester United were outbid.
United had done the groundwork. Ferguson wanted Eden Hazard. The club had convinced one of Europe's brightest young talents and were ready to bring him to Old Trafford.
But according to later reports, the deal collapsed when a secret payment was allegedly demanded during negotiations. United refused to proceed, Ferguson stood by the club's principles, and the move fell apart.
Hazard joined Chelsea instead, became a Premier League superstar, and Manchester United were left wondering what might have been. 🤯🇧🇪
🚨CONFIRMED: Manchester United are actively searching for midfield reinforcements, with these names currently on the radar:
— Sandro Tonali
— Mateus Fernandes
— Ederson
— Elliot Anderson
United’s hierarchy are reportedly planning to bring in at least two of these talented midfielders for Carrick ahead of the new season. 💯
Which two would you choose? 🤔
Ridiculous… @_DeclanRice should have won this.
Absolute travesty that someone whose team never once competed for the Title wins over a guy whose brilliance all season led us to the Title.
🚨Ian Wright on Harry Maguires red card & ban extension:
"I’m telling you now… this is an absolute DISGRACE! Harry Maguire’s got sent off, he’s walked off the pitch, he’s muttered ‘f***ing joke’ to the fourth official...which, by the way, we’ve all said worse in the tunnel – and now the PGMOL and the FA are extending his ban another game?"
"Are you actually serious?! They’re treating Harry like he’s the first player in history to lose his rag with the officials? Meanwhile other clubs are getting away with murder week in, week out and nobody bats an eyelid!"
"It’s like they’ve got a special file on Manchester United this season: ‘How can we screw them a little bit more?’ Nah, nah, nah… I’m not having it! Sort it out, PGMOL, because this is proper embarrassing now."
"Proper embarrassing!”
🚨🚨 Alan Shearer: “The VAR sent the referee to the screen last week, Man United game with a tiny tug, if anything, I'm not even sure he meant it, with a tiny tug of the hair and he sent off for violent conduct Martinez. Yet, you look at Gabriel the way he shoved his head into Haaland’s head. How on earth is that not a red card?”
Seriously, what the hell is going on in our game with VAR? My take on it is that they probably said, we don't really want to get involved in the title race.”

PL titles won since Ferguson left United -0
SPFL titles won since Ferguson left Aberdeen - 0
Bayern win the league every year
Barcelona have a duopoly with Madrid
City are financially doped to the gills
This is the most ridiculous comparison in football history
🚨 Before hosting Sporting CP in the Champions League, the ‘fire’ referenced by Mikel Arteta was more than just a metaphor. The Spaniard lit a real fire at Arsenal’s training ground to symbolise purgation, purification & transformation. 🪵❤️🔥 [@gunnerblog]
Today's hate watch was insanely good! David Raya played the second most passes today for Arsenal and Declan Rice played only one more. LOOOOOOOOLLLLL!!!!!!!!!! How are they top of the league? 😂😂😂😂😂😂
🚨🗣️ TV commentator: "Arsenal don’t play football. They play a different sport. Young fans don’t switch on the TV to watch Arsenal; they want to watch football."
"Set-piece goals, zero creativity, fouls and time-wasting when they’re in the lead. These players have been brainwashed into playing a different sport."
@D___77777@grok@Lea_EFC In 07/08 the team wasn't playing 442. It was 433. Hargreaves, Carrick, Scholes with Tevez, Rooney, Ronaldo up top. There is not a single Arsenal player that gets into that side. @Grok update your knowledge to make sure you don't make silly suggestions again.
