Apparently £290k/week. He should be back in the team in early Feb hopefully. No doubt he will play really well until the end of the season and then our fans will lament us not signing him to a new contract.
I'm still not sure who else will pay him much more than that but then Ramsey managed to pull Juventus' pants down for £400k/week and he isn't half the player Pogba is. I suppose that without a transfer fee you are saving a huge amount. If you consider something like the Sancho deal. If he is earning what is suggested (£250k/week) then if we signed him for free but paid the same amount over the course of his contract we would be paying him about £550k/week instead of £250k/week.
If they agree to pay his wages, yes.
Lingard to Newcastle on loan seems highly unlikely now, but not impossible.
Unsure why he wouldn’t go really. If he helps keeps them up he will be a folk hero on Tyneside for life. Also gets to actually play, will likely be picked for England on the back of it and gets to showcase himself again for a deal with another club. Even if they still get relegated he’s a free agent afterwards so no great loss.

Didn’t Martial just have his best game in ages?
Soldato
Start of the year I was confident Arsenal were gonna buy a couple players. Don’t think it’s gonna happen now.
Bit how I feel, I felt sure at the start of the season that Liverpool would buy someone in January but now looks like we wont be strengthening at all this season. Time will tell whether thats a wise decision or not.
OoOO that's tasty.
He's want to go. The fee is close to 15m for a loan....

I swear Arsenal fans are the most naively positive fans in the world. Every time they sign someone he is going to be amazing. Every season its going to be different to the last. Every time Arteta has them playing well for a few games they think that they are going places.
Where is DM to put a wet blanket on all your optimism
That does seem steep for six months. And likely MU would want most if not all of his wages paid by Newcastle too.
Soldato
Well its harder for you to find someone that's gonna be better than what you already have. Virtually any striker we get is gonna be better than the duds we have.

The last signing we made that I was excited about was Aubameyang.
He played for about 10 minutes... and ran around a bit.
The hesitation is because he's out of contract in the summer, so this loan would spell the end of his Man Utd career. Not a bad thing in my view.
Given Lingard is a waste of space in the squad, if Newcastle will cover his wages, just let him go.
Soldato
ManU also wanted a £10m loan fee after we offered a £6m loan fee
Soldato
Yeh the board realized they messed up and should have sold him in the summer now trying to get ridiculous money for a player that's going to leave for nothing if I was Newcastle I'd say get stuffed aswell united board are a joke so Incompetent it's unreal
Soldato
United seem so stupid with negotiations.
We really want Player X but will argue over £2 million for the whole transfer window and then miss out and rush to sign someone else in panic mode.
We don't want player Y, he's not played for months/years, has no future but we'll value them at an outrageous that no-one will pay and refuse to budge, so just keep them and renew their contract whilst they sit around doing nothing

I remember when they dithered so much on Fellaini who had a £40m release clause up to August 1st which they let expire over a few million and then signed him anyway for £15m more at the end of the window anyway. Ridiculous.
Caporegime
Who did we dither over 2million?
Soldato
I'll admit the post was fairly tongue in cheek rather than quoting specifics, but the Fellaini saga mention above pretty much sums it up.
Obviously rumours are pretty much just that, but there always seems to be stories of United arguing over the price for months and then either caving at the last minute or missing out on a player over what it likely to be a fairly trivial amount. For a club like United i would've said even £10m was fairly trivial had it been identified that it was the right player for the squad.
I should've probably added a third point to my post though that includes "City have shown an interest in a player, so we must gazump them to prove that we're bigger than them"
