Carlos Baleba is worth £40m-£50m.
Benjamin Šeško is worth maybe £70m.

Please United - don't get your pants pulled down again in the transfer market! 🙏🏻 So sick of overpaying.

Loved this game. I was so gutted for Keane though. What a leader.

Agreed, especially after seeing Mbeumo/Cunha/Bruno alternate so well up front against Everton yesterday

This 💯

Hey Marit, a day of reflection for sure. Sending positive vibes.

Great point - and the key word is WANTS to come. It's clear Amorím demands that desire, it's non-negotiable. I love that.

United looking very sharp going forward vs Everton so far. Great interplay.

This back 3 though, worries me.

Biggest surprise is the work rate off the ball. Everyone's so keen to work the ball back, and that's a massive welcome change!

Honestly couldn't care less about Šeško for the prices I'm hearing.

So sick of being taken for mugs. He'll probably want £250k wages 🙄

Perpetual cash flow. Rigged in our favour now as a league, and I hate it. I want La Liga and Serie A to be as competitive as they can be. It's honestly fucking boring monopolising the top talent.

The spending power of Premier League clubs is frightening, and borderline reckless.

Even clubs at the bottom can afford what only top teams in other leagues can. Mind boggling.

I know it's my country's league, but it's grossly unfair, isn't it?

That's insane resilience

England played 360 minutes of regulation knockout football at Euro 2025.

They were behind for 173 minutes (2 hours, 53 minutes)
They were ahead for 1 minute.

Let's just take a moment to recognise a few absolute heroic women:

Lucy Bronze. A warrior and a winning machine.
Leah Williamson. WHAT a season, and what a leader!
Hannah Hampton. Calm, quiet, classy. Mary who?
Chloe Kelly! The coolest player in the world, of any gender.

I could go on. So proud!

As a dad of daughters, this whole tournament is SO important.

Coverage of women's football.
Normalising it being no different to the men's game.
England's women succeeding!

What a fantastic example to girls everywhere. People (men) will still sneer.

But women's football is amazing 💙

Ah Beth Mead still looks gutted to have missed her pen.

Innit? Impossible to dislike

Maybe I'm overly cynical - or just really smart, you decide. But is AI even writing Bluesky posts now?

I get more than a whiff of ChatGPT from some users.

YouTube video by Mike United Things I Hate About Modern Football: Gianni Infantino 🫠

I'm case you didn't know, I hate Gianni Infantino. Thank you for your attention. As you were.

Yeah same really, a "let's see how we start" feeling.

It has to be better this season, surely 😫

Haha, fair comment maybe I did cop out!
Realistic, as in, between 8th and 13th. I daren't hope for more!

I just wanna see evidence that a coach has actually.... coached! Can't see that yet but I remain patient and optimistic!

I dunno, mate. It's a squad that's still better than mid-table for talent, if not chemistry. If Amorim struggles now, he's no better than ten Hag as a coach is he?

Nice. Is that a hope, or an expectation?

Well, Amorim's got his pre-season hasn't he? Even if the squad is still far from ideal. Let's see how good a coach he is 🤞🏻

Never change Murshed! Your optimism is the antidote to all the negativity from the fan base!

I CAN'T get worse.

Can it?!

Nice. And I don't just mean 13th place and a cup run either!!

Ok, I'll bite - confident of what?!
Improving on 15th?
European qualification?
Somewhere in between?

From 15th place it bloody better
