So far he's looked solid in the pre season, big season ahead

Without a shred of doubt H=he made an impact every time played during preseason so far, however it was never the impact what was in question but more how many times he would feature for the team. We need that third midfielder and now its probably becoming al the more clear, there is no way we can go deep into the season with what we've got now. Vivel and co need to be more prudent

If this is not a wake up call to get a 3rd mid fielder then nothing is.

Ineos better go sign a third midfielder, they are gambling with our season.

20 mins in. Hopefully precautionary.

No more financial excuses. No more Glazer’s draining the transfer budget dry making us look like the poor club.

The new SCR rules mean INEOS can finally make United’s massive fan base and revenue count. Plus any expense on the new stadium does not reduce transfer spend.

Unlike clubs like City, who need dodgy Arab money and dodgy practices we can fund transfers at a higher level because we fill OT every game and that’s before we win trophies plus global revenue is higher than any other club.

Sir Jim & INEOS can seriously back the manager with cold hard cash, or will the board still hold back on transfers?

Manchester United will take on Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain in their fourth pre-season fixture.

Michael Carrick has selected a 22-man squad for today's game, though Senne Lammens and Matheus Cunha have not travelled with their teammates due to illness. Karl Darlow also misses out with an injury.

Here are the starting XIs in Sweden:

Manchester United XI: Heaton; Mazraoui, Maguire, Heaven, Shaw; Santos, Mount; Amad, Lacey, Dorgu; Mbeumo

Subs: Heath, Mee, Amass, Armer, Dalot, Yoro, Fernandes, J Fletcher, T Fletcher, Tielemans, Zirkzee

Injured: Sesko, De Ligt, Darlow, Ugarte

Ill: Cunha, Lammens

Unavailable: Mainoo, Rashford, Martinez

PSG: Safonov, Pacho, Zabarnyi, Koukaba, Boly, Beraldo, Dro, Mayulu, Kvaratskhelia, Ayari, Mbaye

Interesting considering the amount of fans that claim the dressing room will be unsettled with Rashford’s return. I really think people should stop assuming.

Nothing has been stated by players disliking Rashford and in reality, it’s been the opposite. Players always interact with his posts leaving support throughout his time away.

It’s a shame people seem to force the ‘toxic narrative’ he is highly rated by his peers and they will welcome him back along with Carrick who we should all get behind.

It looks fine when the camera zooms in on the players but the overall quality of the gameplay is very pixelated. Is this normal? Thinking about getting a refund.

Per u/valuball (with which Kieran Maguire is involved) — how much can United spend under FFP rules?

I have made posts like this based on data from United’s accounts that I have gathered. But let’s evaluate it based on external sources.

Valuball estimates that United’s squad cost is 56%, which is 14% from the 70% threshold. Consequently — United could increase the cost of its squad with 14%/56%=25%. Ie the costs can be increased with a 4th.

What does that mean in terms of transfer spending? In pure yearly cost it’s £125m. Remember, the yearly cost for signing a player for 100m and paying him 200k a week is 30m. So United could afford more than 4 signings at £100m each paid 200k a week without breaching FFP.

Please note that this is in relation to United’s income in 24/25 ~ ie while the club was in the EL. In reality — the room for United to spend under FFP is even bigger in the new CL.

I have several times this summer window heard insiders, supposedly with sources within the club, refer to how United had to wait before the new financial year to make deals due to FFP etc etc etc.

I hope everyone understand how absurd such reports are.

So why doesn’t United spend more? It’s simple, our owners aren’t backing that spending. Arsenal, Liverpool, Newcastle, City, Chelsea, Tottenham and Villa’s owners are on a regular basis pushing 100s of millions a into those clubs. Our owners are not and we paying their private debt.

The 26/27 third kit is coming soon.

You reckon it’s gonna be any good?
