On the contrary. They would rather get some hot cash than just write off some debt.
At least that's what I (and most of us) would prefer.

They will never shift Rashford for the remainder of his contract, no fucking chance. Absolutely bizarre pattern of thinking from United to put him on £300k/week, I know there was noise about interest from other clubs at the time but going that far overboard to secure the long-term future of a player who had really only shown flashes of brilliance in his whole career up to that point is just utterly bizarre, I don't think Rashford has ever been anywhere near as good as Alli was at his peak, if you offered me prime Defoe or prime Rashford I'd have to think about it for far too long for those £300k/week wages to make any fucking sense whatsoever.
They might get nibbles for Garnacho but depends how much they want to squeeze out of him, had a pretty shit season and seems unlikely to net much more than £30m for them at this point.
Not signing a left footed center back is also madness
Most of us are not multi-billion pound businesses to be fair. There may well be tax benefit implications of debt write offs that we are not aware of.
not saying that makes us a more likely destination as the player will ultimately decide that but I don't necessarily think cash in instalments necessarily respresents a more attractive proposition for PSR than debt write-offs.
Fear not! We have Ben "like a new signing" Davies back from injury now!
^^^More accurately.
Jesus & Zinchenko were supposedly experienced title-clinchers... They didn't move the needle.
Let's also not overlook the fact that Arse have their own track record of 'we tried' non-trfs in Jan.

The downside of the whole thing is that this wanker is back in Tottenham feeds again.
Ollie watkins is their latest example of "we tried"
This video is really good. You can see his talent but that he’s a long way from being the finished article too. Also looks like a player who hasn’t played much.

still they're probably the 3rd most famous football club in football
Money talks, and if the manager is this public about how shit the team is then he'll feel he has a clear path to walk in. Not to mention I'd imagine most players still see it with United the way the press do, "only a matter of time" before they get their shit together and start winning things again.
Don't think Tel will pay much if any mind at all to such things.
We need a Left back more than a Centre back.
My pal, whose son is a former Union Berlin trainee, tells me we oughta look at Benny Hollerbach. Decent shout to be fair.
23yo, can play anywhere across the front line though prefers being out on the left, physically robust, decent pace, knows where the goal is, good passer. Mate tells me his attitude is sound too (despite fake news)...great locker room presence and very nice with the fans.
Gotta say that whenever I've watched him, he's indeed a willing runner and he doesn't mind putting a tackle in. Would make a change.

The thing is that we can play Van den ven as left back as well. So
Not ideal
Ben Davies is good cover for VDV, he is actually a much better CB than a LB these days.
Mbuemo is very much a "wait til the summer" job...... You'd be happy with no-one til then?
Id say things have moved on and it's loan to purchase as has been reported today
Lyall is always 24-48 hrs behind everyone else
It doesn't make a ton of sense for Bayern to sell Tel unless it's for a price we'd be unlikely to pay.
Whereas a straight loan makes a ton of sense for all parties.
By all means push for an option to buy, even if it's for a ridiculous sum, it's an option. But get him in the door to help with the run in regardless.
