The Official Manchester United Thread [Vol 6]

We've just signed a huge deal with Uber too!

Thing I love about this the most is that nobody can moan about our spending because it's all self generated!!!!

Anyone think Pogba will go for the 7 shirt or stick with the 6 for this season?

We are a commercial powerhouse

He won't change mid season but maybe he might consider next. All the little kids running round in his #6 shirt would lynch him!

[franki68]

in terms of percentage of cost against the turnover pogba is cheaper than rooney was .

Does anyone know where you've managed to find an increase of over £100m from?

As others have said, lots of sponsorship deals. Adidas was probably the biggest contributor.

Well not sure about you mate, but I know I'm sexy, my wife told me years ago. Not told me for a while though now if I'm honest.

I can't find the article now but it listed player we've bought and what % of the turnover they equated to. It went back as far as Dennis Law who I think is still the highest on the list in those terms. From what I recall, Rio Ferdinand was right up there too as was Rooney. Pogba wasn't as high as any of them

Although this doesn't tell the whole story of course, because it's comparing turnover to transfer fees. A better measure would be profits to fees.

PS: And I'm very sexy as well. Especially after 10 Stellas. Well maybe 15.

Pics or it didn't happen! On second thoughts....

I seem to recall the Pogba fee is payable in 3 installments over the next 3 seasons, or did I dream that?

It's quite likely, rarely fees are fully up front. Paul will be happy you are dreaming of him (though Zlatan would probably like a word).

Griezmann has already picked the number 7 shirt for when he moves in the summer apparently.

When did you new deal with Addidas kick in?

Random questions but any suggestions on where to get circa 10 tickets to the derby on 26th Feb? Other than a magic wand of course. (I am trying to organise some tickets for a stag in Manchester that weekend).

You may be able to get corporate, but I would imagine you will struggle for that particular game.

Last year 15/16 - something like £700 over 10 seasons...which would have been an increase of around 35-40m over the Nike deal we had

You shouldn't have a problem getting tickets from them
