This podcast is proud to be part of the Talk Sport Fan Network. Talk Sport powered by fans.
This is Wednesday's United Daily Podcast. I'm Wayne Barton with today's news and rumours. We start with um a combined statement made by a number of fangroops. It was released last night across their social channels. It's regarding the approach the club have taken to suspending a large amount of uh season tickets through this automated process or apparently automated process. We shall see. about the club's official response on that. I'll read the statement out for you, um verbatim, this is released through all these fan channels, um supporter channels I should say. Fan channels comes with a different kind of connotation, doesn't it? Um many attempt many attempts have been made in recent years to bring together influential support groups that can prioritise the often underrepresented voice of Manchester United's match going supporters.
The recent actions of Manchester United have finally achieved what those efforts could not. A unanimous, historic and unprecedented unification of Must, TRA, and United Youth Supporters Group, the nineteen fifty-eight All fans, forum representatives, more than one hundred official supporters, clubs, Red News and United We Stand. Earlier today a message was sent to Manchester United, obviously this meant yesterday, uh emphasising full support for the fans forum's recent letter relating to the premature suspension of season ticket holders without required evidence. In summary, we have demanded that the club immediately halt the ongoing soup suspension process, immediately retracts all unproven suspensions, confirm that the current
Number confirm the current number of season tickets, explain its apparent policy of reducing the number of season tickets. Confirm that all reclaimed season tickets were reissued as season tickets to supporters on the season ticket waiting list. Once an official re written response has been received from Manchester United, it will be shared in the interests of transparency and fairness. The potential consequences of the club's response. So yeah, we will await the club's official response to that. Um if indeed we get one, they should respond to one considering it's a pretty unprecedented approach from the uh supporter a union of supporters groups there. So um yeah, we we shall see on that. On Transfer News, United um are still interested in signing a third central midfielder, but they're interesting consequences.
And Alex Scott is said to have culled because of their high price tags. I don't know what United are expecting from Brighton and Bournemouth in this current market because they are going to um they've we've seen the prices and another price hike yesterday, one hundred and seventeen million for Morgan Rogers as he moved to Chelsea. Uh Um, yeah, United uh they're gonna have to stump up if they want one of these two midfielders. Um, Scott has rejected a contract.
How is Manchester United expected to respond to the supporters’ letter on the suspension process?
That was news that was breaking yesterday, but Bournemouth also rejected a sixty four million pound offer from Chelsea for him. So um it it will be around eighty million pound at least. I don't know what United are expecting these prices to come down to, considering the prices they've already paid as well. Um they will wanting a a starting midfielder alongside Kobe Mainu you would have thought and they're gonna have to pay a premium for him. Um so we'll see. Even Sanderberg I think the price that was being quoted for him from Fulham was around forty million pound. So yeah, we'll see what happens there developing on the midfield front. United have been linked with a move for Warren Zare Emery, the PSG midfielder who's highly rated, only twenty
Um a lot of talk about clubs going in for Ayub Buare, Manchester City's said to be um leading that race as well. I mean they're gonna have to pay an elite hundred million for him after paying over one hundred and ten million to get Elliott Anderson. So yeah, they can get two of the premium targets. United can't even get one, tells you the difficulty United have got at the moment.
