One of Saudi Arabia's closest strategic allies is the USA. No hypocrisy then.


You mean the Human rights issues that brought about the BLM in the US of A ?

The Glazers put another 9.5MILLION shares in Manchester United up for sale on the New York Stock Exchange - worth £137m - just months after Avram Glazer pocketed £70m from another sale... but the club will not see a single penny of it


God bless malcolm glazer


Not being funny, but why would you expect the Rags to see any of it ? They are shares traded on an open market. Unless there is a buy back , nothing helps the Rags. The worse thing that can happen from a Rags point of view is that the Glazer family percentage drops. Leads to chaos in the boardroom.


I have a very basic grasp on finance and I would not expect the club to see any of the money from the sale of privately owned shares.
I just thought it ironic that the Glazers were personally cashing in on the Ronaldo/Sancho share price bounce as Rome burns.
Is it not enough to pay yourself annual dividends of £20M, saddle a debt free club with £500M in loans, blow approx £50M annually to service that debt, let the physical infrastructure decline, etc... No it's not.
Cash in on the bounce created by us the Glazers by selling some shares but keep 70% share ownership so we can continue to milk the cow.
Could not happen to a nicer club.

You can bet they knew off the take over and sold at high price before the inevitable drop that would come after the take over was announced.

He got one. I remember looking it up when Bruno Fernandes received his second after a mammoth 14 appearances.

Ah didn’t know that, but one out of all those great performances over the years, stinks to me.

I cannot be arsed to look back historically but Antonio got it the previous month for 4 goals and 3 assists or vice-versa but the Portuguese got it for just the 3 goals. Mind, Arteta got manager of the month so wtaf....all to keep the red shite relevant - at least in their own tiny minds

I’ve just read KDB has never won POTM. Surely that’s incorrect??

The biggest disgrace in all this is that Kolarov never won it. He should have won it every month, even the summer months.

Hell why not say he should be winning it now, I am sure he's disgusted with you.

Saw his post match interview on motd. He certainly is no leader. Remember da marcus beasley once away at Blackburn playing in red boots. City giving it to him "you need to wear blue boots" changed to blue at ht
Trouble at the swamp Ole has no idea how to make them play. They are looking more and more like a bunch of individuals capable of smashing teams from time to time but in the main poor attitude with no guts - loving this. Next up after chumps league are red scouse if they lose that badly Ole will be in deep doo doo
