The ex-Utd player thread.

Amazingly, Imrie is currently the Championships longest serving manager at 2 years! 😂 Just goes to show the longevity of managers these days

Imrie has also got Morton going well after a dodgy start to ghe season. Probably the form team in the league ATM.

I agree, but when was the last time we had a manager who stayed for 3 years or more? Peter Houston?

Levein just over 3, Houston just over 3 (but felt like one era really), Jackie 2.5, since then not had any ran stability, think we would have got it with Neilson if not for covid and Hearts approach, then was hoping Courts would stay as had earned time for getting 4th and utilising lots of academy players at the same time

The other managers just weren't right outside those two since 2015

United set to land 500k from Aziz Behich transfer to the Saudi League. That's a decent wee clause we had there!

Is that right? It would be great if that were true - I thought he was simply released from his contract with us.

Courier now reporting this, would expect they checked it with the Club before printing.

Edit to add, great news if true

I'm surprised our very own Jeremy Vine didn't break this news a few days ago tbh.

The debate is around the fact that the Saudi club have paid a loan fee not a transfer fee.
Pretty sure that counts but it's going towards reducing the Ogren debt 😐

A loan is officially a loan transfer. A permanent transfer is officially that. Both are transfers. Whether a loan or permanent, the player is transferred, and if money is paid for a transfer, then any subsequent sell-on must also be paid.
