According to the club's latest accounts, United's total amount of borrowing sits at a staggering £777million. £295m worth of that is payable within one year. Elsewhere, the Red Devils also owe a further £422m in transfer fee instalments for incoming recruitment. Worryingly, £238m is due within the year. Combined, that puts United's debt at a total of around £1.3billion.
Mason is getting closer, he's on the grass, he's looking to train and be around it. We've just had to be patient really. The United interim head coach has insisted that the former England international is inching closer to his return and has been training with the United first-team squad.
The ex-England international is a free agent after leaving South Korean club FC Seoul in December. The 33-year-old has offers from clubs in Europe and the United States, but sources have told BBC Sport that talks with Corinthians are progressing positively.
Sources close to Lingard reveal Corinthians are now one of the leading contenders for his signature and should a move materialise, the Englishman would link up with former Manchester United teammate Memphis Depay at the Arena Corinthians. Corinthians have been champions of Brazil 31 times and their list of illustrious ex-players includes Socrates and Ronaldo Nazario.
This wasn't an easy decision. My time in South Korea has been unbelievable -- the football, the atmosphere, and the passion around this club have been top-class. The love, support and the appreciation you have shown towards me for these last 2 years has been truly amazing.
Lausanne have been knocked out of the Europa Conference League following a home defeat to Czech side Sigma Olomouc. The Swiss club lost 2-1 at home after a 1-1 draw in the first leg, ending their hopes of progressing further in the competition. It wraps up what had been a promising run, starting back in July with the qualifiers and highlighted by their win over Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's Besiktas to reach the group stage.
I don't think the club should be accepting anything less than £26m. I think he's an absolute worldie of a player when he's on his day. If he can be consistent, he's worth treble that at least.
