I'd have thought the man who's single handledly (no pun intended) rescued them countless times this last few years would be first in line...De Gea.
Sanchez - 450k a week.

This isn't going to a problem just for Utd though, is it?
There is a chance that a couple of deals like this pushes wages up for other clubs too.
Ha, Keepers for some reason never seem to command the same fees or wages as outfield players.
Not yet but I bet De Gea will change that soon...
Presently he's on 200k. More than double Salahs. In the Utd squad only Sanchez and Pogba get paid more.
It's crazy how long it took to break Buffon's transfer fee from Parma to Juventus - which was Ederson to City.
I'm not entirely convinced Ederson's fee will be outdone by Madrid in their attempt to lure De Gea.
They've never really spent big in regards to their defence - and it would be more beneficial for Florentino Perez to bring in someone like Hazard/Griezmann than forking out a large fee for a goalkeeper.
I think Madrid will make a play for Courtois and if that fails they go after cheaper options like Kepa (Bilbao) or even Allison (Roma).
Out of interest - how do United do it? Constantly spending huge money on transfers and even more absurd wage levels. Surely it can't be sustained?
Apparently their squad is the most expensive ever assembled. And surely their wage bill is the highest in the history of football.
Is their merchandising that good?

They are the richest club in world football now surpassing Real.
Add that to the crazy new money in TV deals and they will be fine
Would it be wrong to wish a Rondon/McCarthy injury on him? Actually I wish that on all them cunts. And Mourinho too.
I love how people are calling him greedy for demanding £15million and £450k a week from United, as if he's holding United over a barrel or something. That's how much he wants to earn to play for that shit hole, and that's how much they're going to pay. I'm also loving the people in here who are trying to downplay how good he is, he's a superb player, bested by only a couple of players in the league, he'll do a fantastic job for United. Fortunately he's not the missing piece in the jigsaw for United, and it's more of a slightly diagonal move for him, because he'll become the main man once again, digging them out of situations trying to paper over their more obvious gaps, in my opinion he's moved from a demoralising frustrating squad, to a squad with the same feelings, just not on the same level.
I'm not worried about Sanchez signing for United. He's good rather than great for me.
His best season at Arsenal was obviously the 16/17 one when he scored shitloads of goals and had double digit assists. But the odd thing is he was also one if the more wasteful players in the league too. Giving away the ball more in the final third than anyone else.
His underlying metrics such as expected goals suggested there was a huge amount of luck involved and that the season wouldn't be repeated.
That's probably going to exaggerated by his move to a much more defensive side.

Yep, I don't really get the notion that he'll be a back up or whatever, he's exactly what they lack really. A bit of class up top who will work his bollocks off across the front line and will bring everyone else into play. Lukaku is a lazy cunt, but he's worth having for the 20 tap-ins he'll score against the dregs of the league, so to then add a forward who gives you something akin to what City get from Aguero, or Barca from Suarez, it's a frightening prospect ahead of the rest of the season and next year.
What gaps they are now strong all over the park. They have a very well balanced squad and will challenge for the league next season.
Proper gutted they've got sanchez as he's a superb player. More likely a front 3 of martial, lukaku and sanchez i'd guess.
I've no doubt he's comfortably a class above, but you could then argue that morale might dip because popular members are getting shunned, or because of financial reasons.
He will improve them, but could cause some issues behind the scenes was all my point was
I’ll take comfort if he does his ACL.
That is what happens. And he still need the team to perform. If that dressing room isn't splitted in a week with greedy cunts and jealous cunts on each side I will be very surprised.
So you think he automatically goes into their best eleven?
I hear ya but he might also become very popular when his team mates realise they can pass him the ball and watch him create chances out of nothing for them. He worked like a dog for Arsenal before it turned sour so he might still be what we'd call a Mourinho type player. Pogba and De Gea might be able to call rank and demand a pay raise but I'm sure Mourinho will pay it if he wants them to stay.
As I said, fingers crossed Sanchez is back defending for 90mins, falls out with Pogba, falls out with Mourinho, gives the fans the finger, smacks Bobby Charlton, gets injured, takes a shit on Eric The Red or whatever he is called.

I didn't know they were struggling. Would that annoying prick Jeff Stelling not save his beloved team?
