Connor Barron kept Rangers vs Aberdeen cash squabble at arms length but ignoring Man Utd struggles not so easy

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Connor Barron left it with the men who sign the cheques at Ibrox to sort out the tribunal settlement with former club Aberdeen.But the Rangers midfielder knows his side will have to be bang on the money at Old Trafford if they’re to get any change out of Thursday’s huge Europa League clash with Manchester United.

Gers have finally squared things up with the Dons having pinched the midfield ace over the summer.Despite being out of contract, the Light Blues were still required to pay training compensation for the 22-year-old - with the final deal of £640,000 plus add-ons set by an independent SPFL panel.

Barron chose to stay away from the bargaining table while the two clubs and their Hampden mediators set about thrashing out an agreement.

But it’s been impossible to ignore the on-going troubles of a club who have spent more than a billion pounds in a vain attempt to recreate the glory days they once enjoyed under Sir Alex Ferguson.New Red Devils gaffer Ruben Amorim wasn’t attempting to sugar coat the situation in Salford as he admitted his side were the “worst team maybe in the history of Manchester United” following Sunday’s 3-1 defeat to Brighton.
