Sevilla are among the 2/3 clubs interested in him but we’ll have to cover part of his salary.

Just another example of the dreadful recruitment at the club in recent years. A bang average player that we are struggling to get rid of because we pay him too much.
To think Marc Cucurella cost Brighton around the same fee, he’s 5 or 6 years younger and looks set to be sold for 50 million.
Malacia looks a quality purchase so hopefully things are improving in the area of recruitment.
Alex Telles

I actually think Dalot has a fairly high ceiling - just don't really have any faith anyone will ever get it out of him.

I will tell you how our scouts recruited Telles. By you tube highlights and stats that don’t tell the whole story.
I don’t think anyone went to actually watch him once what so ever. I had a few run ins on here with people who kept telling me how good his stats were.
And now I think we can all agree that Telles is an awful defender and really does not add anything to the attack.
Much like Dalot on the other side, I might add.

Hopefully we’ll get rid of Dalot, Williams and AWB as well.

Some of the contracts that Woodward and the team underneath him gave out are borderline criminal. It's only Barca's madness that makes them look slightly better in truth it's a joke.
Luke Shaw for example being on 200k a week is crazy. Rashford, despite me being a big fan of his, is on far too much too. Martial is on 250k a week. Giving Jones a 4 year deal has to be up there with one of the worst decisions of all time.
It's a shocking state of affairs we've gotten ourselves into and sadly not easily fixed.

Brandon Williams on 100k is another crazy one.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What?! Who has said that Williams is on £100k p/w?!
That’s a load of nonsense.

Telles is not bang average, Process. Telles for the levels we are aspiring to is POOR. Think Telles and think the fullbacks at Pool and City
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He wasn’t signed to start at LB, though. Rightly or wrongly, he was signed as cover for Luke Shaw.
The fair comparisons with Telles would be Tsimikas or Ramsay.

I’d rather have Gordon Ramsey than Telles.

So would Luke Shaw.

This article is absolutely on the money.
I appreciate that salaries are not published but Telles is reportedly being paid £90k per week.
Even if that’s too high, based on Porto’s salary structure, he has almost certain got more than 100% pay rise when he joined United.
Unproven in the PL, playing in the Portuguese league… why on earth are we paying players like that so much money?
No wonder we struggle to offload players.

AWB needs to be the first one out the door

Aren't the contracts given under Woodward comically high because he had the idea that Utd should have all the image rights rather than the players but to mitigate that loss they got a higher basic?
It's incredibly short sighted and as someone has said above, not easy to rectify.
