When Zaniolo was trying to force his move away from Roma, I didn’t harbor the same hatred toward him that others did at the time. What he was doing was shitty, but I at least understood that he is young and wants to get to a better team in a slightly better league (clearly Turkey was a temp solution). But with this news? My god this is stupid and idiotic. Glad he is far removed from Roma now.

they're already millionaires,why not leave the sports betting for the rest of us?

I didn't miss the point of your comment. The article and thread has 0 to do with Manchester United. Not a single Man United player has had any issues with betting. There's is literally no link to Man United here yet you come in here talking about them.

this will keep happening until we remove official gambling sponsors and drive them out of sports. the integrity of the game cannot be trusted as long as we allow this. and it’s not just players either
Franky_95@alien.top · 1 pts · 2y
Italy already removed gambling sponsors
maxfreichert@alien.top · 1 pts · 2y
right, but sports gambling is still legal

If this is true, I owe them Muricans an even bigger apology than I already do lmao

Hey! Finally it's not a United player doing something illegal or stupid!
EliToon@alien.top · 1 pts · 2y
Tonali is a United player.
Oh look a Man Utd fan making everything about Man Utd!
Prior_Accountant_666@alien.top · 1 pts · 2y
No one thinks of your small club when they say united
Tilman_Feraltitty@alien.top · 1 pts · 2y
Remember, they can only involuntary advertising whole season, but bet and get banned!
AngryVirginian@alien.top · 1 pts · 2y
Did it to get a signing bonus.
Bolte_Racku@alien.top · 1 pts · 2y
What's wrong with betting on your own team
lssie_hyoudou@alien.top · 1 pts · 2y
I ment city of milan ffs
ElUallarito@alien.top · 1 pts · 2y
Fabrizio Corona 🤝 Jamal Kashoggi against Bin Salman
icemankiller8@alien.top · 1 pts · 2y
Has he even been good? Seen him a bit this season and he only looked good on his debut and against Sheffield United when everyone was good because you smashed them
Tsicsar-Itna@alien.top · 1 pts · 2y
He’s not a 70m player I agree. But when Maguire goes for the same, it’s a justified price.
Tonali plays like he’s depressed in NUFC.
HelloMyNameIsGeoff@alien.top · 1 pts · 2y
400 IQ move by Milan to sell him
Shinkopeshon@alien.top · 1 pts · 2y
If this is true, I owe them Muricans an even bigger apology than I already do lmao
OmarLittle87@alien.top · 1 pts · 2y
I will never doubt Furlani again
SongAlbatross@alien.top · 1 pts · 2y
Betting his own team to win may not sound too shady. Betting his team to lose would be a crime. Zaniolo isn't known to be a smart guy, so the worst can't be ruled out.
Chester____A_Arthur@alien.top · 1 pts · 2y
Genuinely think players should be allowed to bet on their team winning (as long as there is no spread). It could create some amazing performances. I also imagine Romero betting absurd amounts on Tottenham.
kermvv@alien.top · 1 pts · 2y
No
thenchen@alien.top · 1 pts · 2y
Fking no lol then we would get far greater attempts to influence the result. Players are one degree of separation from on the pitch refs while all other bettors are realistically two or more away.
Stemnut@alien.top · 1 pts · 2y
Zaniolo's idiocy is unbelievable
Handyman2116@alien.top · 1 pts · 2y
Nice to hear that he's as brainless off the pitch as he is on it
Competitive-Aide5364@alien.top · 1 pts · 2y
He is honestly unbelievable. I remember that one match a few years ago where he grabbed his crotch taunting a fan and was like “yup this kids an idiot” lol
ElectricalMud2850@alien.top · 1 pts · 2y
The transfer fee looked light until they realized how much they'd be saving on legal bills.
TheItalianStallion64@alien.top · 1 pts · 2y
has he been performing up to the €70m standards?
maxfreichert@alien.top · 1 pts · 2y
yeah i agree its impossible. but i think legal sports gambling normalizes it to an extent
Best-Success-6425@alien.top · 1 pts · 2y
Literally no one refers to Newcastle as United.
TheItalianStallion64@alien.top · 1 pts · 2y
tell me you don’t know anything about milan without telling me you don’t know anything about milan
he was our joint best midfielder with bennacer.
EliToon@alien.top · 1 pts · 2y
Tonali is a United player.
Oh look a Man Utd fan making everything about Man Utd!
ThereWillBeGoals@alien.top · 1 pts · 2y
Not exactly what Newcastle need right now.
CompetitiveSeat5340@alien.top · 1 pts · 2y
Unbelievable, what kind of footballer could do something like this
MoyesNTheHood@alien.top · 1 pts · 2y
That’s West Ham, Newcastle and Villa with players being investigated for betting
Just need a Brighton player to complete the set.
My vote is Fati
Upplands-Bro@alien.top · 1 pts · 2y
What set is that?
Best-Success-6425@alien.top · 1 pts · 2y
In the world.
EliToon@alien.top · 1 pts · 2y
Your comment was to make it about Manchester United. Congrats!
Tsicsar-Itna@alien.top · 1 pts · 2y
Considering we’ve smashed you so often with Tonali starting nearly everytime I guess I now see the motive.
Tonali at Milan with the exception of his first season is a better midfielder than anyone you have. Yes, even this seasons Cristante

STATEMENT FROM THE FOOTBALLING AUTHORITIES:
"We are taking these allegations very seriously and conducting all the relevant investigations. Any player found guilty of gambling will be punished to the full extent of the rules and regulations put in place to protect the integrity of the game, now a word from our sponsors: footballbetshop.com, SkyBet and PaddyPower"
Stigno@alien.top · 1 pts · 2y
Sandrino Tonali, a true Milanista, realized this summer that he was going to get caught for betting on his team and so he decided to force a move to Newcastle in order to get Milan money they would have lost otherwise.

What is happening in Italy rn???
CrowCreative6772@alien.top · 1 pts · 2y
It's becoming the tax evasion of Spain or rapist of the PL
LackAdministrative88@alien.top · 1 pts · 2y
As opposed to the Prem, in which Toney was already suspended and Paqueta is under investigation? This happens in every league, it’s a matter of when not if.
TheItalianStallion64@alien.top · 1 pts · 2y
