Whatever his limitations as a coach, Rangnick had an eye for spotting talented players. He recommended the following to Man Utd:

Haaland
Gvardiol
Alvarez
Laimer

Look where they are now and what they have done.

Crazy that Inter Milan bought World Cup winner Pavard for a lower price than West Ham was willing to pay for Maguire. Pavard for Maguire would have been a significant upgrade.

As predicted.

6.5 months ago I laid out the various/most likely options for handling the Greenwood issue. A close inspection of the wording in the Man Utd statement is that they chose option 2 below. The numerous references to "we" make it clear that Man Utd did not sack Greenwood. Releasing a statement expressly stating that Greenwood did not commit a crime or breach his contract means the club had no legal ground to fire him.

It was a mutual termination where the club probably agreed to pay Greenwood most or all of the remaining salary on his contract.

1) Fire him outright: for what though? He was exonerated after a police investigation. If the club fires him for no reason, he could sue for unfair dismissal. The only slim chance the club has in this area is to fire him under the moral terpitude clause that is in many Premier League contracts. Even then that is a dicy one that also carries the risk of an unfair dismissal claim.

2) Agree to a mutual termination (ala Ronaldo). In this case Greenwood could demand that the club pay out his remaining salary in his contract (which runs until 2025). Does the club really want to pay one of the hottest young talents in the Premier League to NOT play for them, and give him money to join a rival?

If Greenwood was for sale in today's hyper inflated market, how much would a free scoring 21yo England international like him be worth? Given the insane amounts paid for Mudryk and Fernandez, Greenwood (before the rape claim) would not be worth less than £85 million.

Is there any chance that they could terminate his contract if there is backlash from sponsors and women's groups etc.

^Actually think United are trying to sell Greenwood. The wording in the email is mere pantomime, perfectly placed to preserve a modest asking price.

Boly knew nothing about that second goal. But he won't mind.

Farewell Deano. I still think Man Utd should have given him a chance to establish himself as the club’s first choice GK.

This guy should have been the first one in when the transfer window opened.
Instead United prioritised other signings before this one.
Poorly run club all round

£15 million is an absolute steal for Henderson.

Manchester United seem to find new ways of demonstrating that they are appalling in the transfer market. 2 years ago Arsenal signed Aaron Ramsdale (a GK playing for a relegated club) for £30 million. 2 years later - despite inflation, United sold Dean Henderson (an England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 international GK who has played in the Champions League for half of what Arsenal paid for Ramsdale).
