I'm sure there will be figures that United will put out to justify an asking price of 100m+. 

Good to see the back of Pogba, plenty of talent, but has a shitty attitude in my opinion.  With Madrid forking out 300m+ already who else would be in for him?
I tend to think of myself as a one man wolfpack...

Can't really see the Champions of Europe coming in for him. Wouldn't make the first 11. PSG perhaps?

Back to Juventus have been the rumors. Barca the other side who have been linked with him in the past but I never seen him as a fit there.

How do you work out Pogbas value as well in excess of £90m?

United shouldn't be selling Lukaku for less than £80 million or Pogba for less than £130/140 million.

Hard to see what club pays that sort of money for either of them?

Lukaku is a proven goalscorer and that is the going rate for a striker with his age profile and goal return rate. 

Again, Pogba cost £90 odd million and given his age profile, marketability etc he should be in that bracket.  Also coming off his best season technically.

There are only a handful of sides that have that sort of money.
Pogba wont stay in the PL, and i dont see any english club paying that sort of money for Lukaku
Real have already spent big, so i dont see either going there.
Neither would be a natural fit at barca.
PSG probably the only hope
I can only please one person per day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow doesn't look good either

The type of teams that Lukaku will be moving too will not have £80m to spunk out on him. £8m would be plenty. He's an Everton, Southampton type player mid to bottom team PL player. He should think about a move to Germany or maybe even Italy. He's way out of his depth in the PL.

Pogba needs off loaded as does Lingard. Getting anything for them would be a bonus.

Inter want Lukaku. But can't afford him. Trying to offload Icardi as part of the deal, who is a great player "on his day", but can be awful on other days.

If ever there was a Roy Keane figure needed at United, it's now.

Feel United's only chance of getting good money for Pogba and Lukaku is China.

Rashford looking for 300k a week. That's what happens when they gave Sanchez ridiculous wages

QuoteManchester United supporters have been involved in more football-related arrests where racism was an aggravating factor or a feature than any other club in England in the four seasons up to 2017-18, data from the Home Office shows.

Data released under a Freedom of Information request by the Press Association shows that 27 individuals recorded as United fans by police were arrested during the seasons 2014-15 to 2017-18.

Championship clubs Leeds and Millwall each had 15 supporters arrested, while Leicester had 14 and Chelsea 13.

The 2018-19 season in England was marred by a series of racism-related incidents and arrests. Data for the season just ended is set to be released later this summer.

Where racism has been recorded as a feature of an incident, it requires the arresting officer to tick a box, which is why the Home Office says the overall accuracy of the data cannot be guaranteed.

The data shows 107 arrests in this category overall during the 2014-15 season, rising to 114 in 2015-16. The figure then dropped over the next two seasons, with 94 arrests recorded in 2016-17 and just 75 in 2017-18.

Other clubs with arrests in double figures are West Ham (11), with Barnsley, Manchester City, Middlesbrough and Sunderland all on 10.

In 2018-19 England forward Raheem Sterling alleged he was racially abused during a match for his club Manchester City at Chelsea. The Crown Prosecution Service announced in April that there was insufficient evidence that the words used by a Chelsea fan were racially aggravated.

England's black players suffered abuse during a Euro 2020 qualifier away to Montenegro in March, while a Tottenham supporter was handed a four-year football ban and a £500 (€558) fine for throwing a banana skin towards Arsenal forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in December last year.

Anti-discrimination body Kick It Out reported last November that there were 520 reports of discriminatory abuse during the 2017-18 season, an 11 per cent increase on the previous campaign and the sixth year in a row where the figure had risen.

Fifty-three per cent of those reports concerned alleged racist abuse.

Haha. This is hilarious. They don't represent me, or any other gaaboard member I'm sure. But keep firing up those figures as if it does.

Whoever they are shouldn't be let near a stadium again.
