Nice business this summer. PSG wanting €70m in one hit initially and we negotiated to €50m + €10m variables.
Cant wait for Michael Owen and the other BS merchants to start peddling we paid over the odds, we paid £60m in one pound coins as is usually the case with Utd transfers

Nearly half of those games are one injury in 2022, 45 games missed due to a cruciate ligament tear. He's missed 11 games last season in total which includes internationals and cup/Europe, hardly exceptionally high numbers.

Media will do the usual, change euros to sterling, then include the addons to make it £60m. Then they'll convert it back to euros to make it 70m euros.
Surely it's only good business if he's actually any good? If I wanted £10 for some magic beans and you got them for £7, I'd have still had your pants down. Maybe wait until he's actually played before deciding how good the business was and preemptive attacking anybody that might say you've paid over the odds for him.
I enjoy the whole "the media is out to get us" narrative. The only people who have "got" you over the last decade are your management. The media report your fees in the same way as anyone else's. They may have been more critical of you over the last few years, but that's probably because your transfer dealings have merited criticism.

Except United earn more clicks than any other club in the country. If you don't think the media makes up stories about us for engagement then I have some magic beans to sell you. Sanchez wage used to go up weekly according to multiple media publications.
Same way Darwin Nunez has cost us £100m according to some!
Nobody needs to make stuff up about you, you give them plenty of material regardless.
over 50+ games and over 20 odd injuries over 5 seasons is ridiculously high, the guy is injury prone.

That source couldn't be more biased if it tried.
Something a little more neutral.

People were talking about media so surely you need to compare number of news articles and comments on them, not YT subs.Yeah sure

The BBC sport section alone has about 90% Manchester United stories. You could say it's because of their performance and that's right to some degree but I bet Chelsea have fewer articles on there.

Even just on this site, compare the number of pages the United thread has to the other teams. Appreciate that's partly due to the last decade but still, it's a massive thread compared to others...
