Manchester United accepted Westham's £30 million (about HK$300 million) bid for Harry Makouni last week, but the two sides failed to agree on personal terms and conditions, making the deal slow to materialize. Before the Red Devils played their first match of the new season in the early hours of Tuesday morning (15), team leader Tannhäuser appealed to the ex-captain once again, saying, "If you don't have the confidence to win the main round of the competition, then go!
Although the transfer fee has been settled, Westham can only offer £120,000 (about HK$1.2 million) per week to Harry Makouni, which is far less than his £190,000 (about HK$1.9 million) weekly salary at Manchester United, which is said to be giving an extra £6 million (about HK$60 million) in compensation to make up for the loss of his salary in his last two years of the contract, but at least the deal is still dragging on.
