This podcast is proud to be part of the Talk Sport Fan Network. Talk sport powered by fans.
Welcome to Friday's United Daily Podcast. I'm Wayne Barton with today's news and rumors. You will have seen the news this week, the the major news of course, and that uh following the signing of Mateus Fernandez, which was confirmed by Spurs yesterday. Spurs are also looking to break their transfer record again and sign Sandro Tanali, the new Castle midfielder who also has been previously linked with United. Obviously, the like United had a little bit of an interest in Tonali. He was one of the players on the list. However, he was never a serious option for um United's secondary options once once they were knocked um well I say knocked back, they weren't really knocked back were they by Fernandez once Spoon
Spurs went forward in the race with the money that they offered. Um United their secondary option wasn't Tonali.
Why is United considering Carlos Baliba from Brighton as their next midfield signing?
But Spurs acted quickly for him anyway. They were I mean, th but those deals are more or less done within forty-eight hours of each other. They haven't officially cannot announced Tonali as of the time of this recording, but it uh you would expect that to happen very soon. Um So United's uh midfield options now they're looking at Carlos Baliber. They ever like all the reliable information is that they're preparing an offer. For Carlos Baliber, the um Brighton midfielder, we'll see what happens there. Um Brighton um like I said in uh earlier in the week in in this podcast, Brighton were asking for one hundred million last summer. He didn't have a great season that's United's big bargaining Tulio because uh Spurs really have inflated well Spurs and City in um making um deals of this nature uh two three figure deals in there um I think Tonali's will end up being over one hundred million in guarantees.
I think the fees just under I think it's like ninety three million but it's going up to over one hundred is massively inflated. inflated the market, United are in a a bit of an issue here in terms of what they do with the midfielders.
How are inflated market values from Spurs and City impacting United’s budget for midfielders?
They're going to have to overpay uh y you suspect for at least one one of the midfielders. Carlos Baliba, Brighton, you know, obviously notorious for making clubs overpay as well. Uh but he's the player that United are moving on to. The player they won't be moving on to, I'm pretty sure, but he's been linked with United this morning is Neil L I Nui. The Morocco and Roma midfielder. A load of Premier League clubs have been linked with him this morning. United just won, obviously the first name in the list. But Liverpool, Chelsea, Villa, Brighton, Bournemouth, Newcastle, and Sunderland all asking about him. That to me screams agents are talking, not that United are interested. Some club news: United's dugouts are increasing.
In in size because of Champions League requirements. Um they're adding I think it's it might be three extra seats in there.
What changes are being made to United’s dugout size for Champions League requirements?
Um yeah, uh they're actually going one over their requirements. I think the requirements are twenty seats, but United are going for twenty one seats in there, um so both dugouts will be increasing in size, um a little bit more compact, a little bit more snug for um a few the players and officials in there next season. United also confirmed that Andrea Medina has joined the women's team. She was playing for Atletico Madrid and she will um sign and well she has signed and she'll be uh signing the contract until twenty twenty nine uh with the option of an additional year. She's only twenty two She's a Spanish international. She's been in the um Spanish International Squad. And she'll wear the number six shirt.
So good news there that the club are strengthening there. Um one happy birthday today to mention. It's Michael Clegg, the defender who played in the youth team that came after the um class of ninety-two, or a little bit after that really.
Which new players have United added to their women’s squad and what does the birthday shout‑out mean?
Um ninety-five, I think he was in. And uh Um yeah, he played twenty-four appearances in a couple of different positions in defence and then moved on and came back to the club as a coach, didn't he?
