With a buy clause? That is interesting. [Post edited 23 Aug 2023 7:51]

Not at all, see my post below.
Def include an option to buy. |  |

The Athletic reported it last night, I’d assume the clause is to buy if we get promoted?

Those bloody ITK people, damaging our club.
Ashton will lap it up with another ‘here we go’ video no doubt. |  |

His contract expires in Summer 2024, but Man U have a 1-year option on it.
We won't be able to take on his full wages, so can't make it permanent now.
Next to no chance Man U want to take their extension option, so he'll be available for transfer next Summer regardless.
Presumably the transfer option (a) guarantees Man U a small fee (b) guarantees us they won't take up the option. |  |

It could be that they look to trigger the option so that they do get a fee for him - like we did with Simpson. |  | | |

Must be that we HAVE to buy him if we go up. Otherwise we could not buy him and wait for his contract to expire, then sign him on a free/for whatever compensation they'd be due (which i'd assume will be less than the buy option otherwise why would we agree to it). |  |

Think that's ultimately pretty awkward when a player is on wages that don't match their value. If he's on £50k+, by extending his contract for a year you put yourself on the hook for another £2.5m. If it's unlikely you can find a club willing to pay even half of that, then most of that is going to come out of your end. | |

Those on the United forum seem to be suggesting a base of £45k with potential bonuses taking it up to £60k.
Whether they actually know the ins and outs and of his contract... | |

Ah missed that.
I did mean option to buy in my post, rather than we have to buy after the loan, I just had wrongly assumed it was a straight loan as cover to let Leigh go. | |

That level wouldn't surprise me. United have been overpaying players for years - see Maguire and Wann-Bissaka riding the bench because they can't get similar wages elsewhere. | | | |

Exactly!
He says "Fab" like we're all supposed to know who this chap is. |  |

I first heard of him when Hutchinson became advanced. People go a bit mad when he says 'here we go'. | | | |

It's likely he'd want Man U to pay the difference on his wages so a contract extension might not be quite as advantageous for them as it might sound
I guess the transfer just ends up paying the difference on those wages or at least some of it? |  |
