The Manchester United Thread

Di Marzio reporting that Utd and Bayern are faves for the signature of Napoli CB Kalidou Kabaly this summer. Not sure about spelling :) but he has been great this season!!!

Too many sponsorship deals mean every club should be doing these tours. Otherwise clubs will be losing big money.

Also in 2007-08 we went to China for pre season tour and it didn't stop us from winning CL and PL (Should have won the FA cup too, blatantly robbed). So pre season excuse shouldn't be a valid one.

Yeah it's largely irrelevant, providing they have time together on the tour.
 
Tbh they really should skip touring when there's Euro or WC finals.

That I agree with, but then most of the Euro players will come back late anyway. Lots of our WC players didnt even make the majority of the tour, was the youth and fringe
 
From time to time, RedCafe can be great.

Bastian out for the season. Even worse, he could miss the Euros. Could be it for him.

Will take something special for him to come back from an injury like that at his age. Considering pep didn't think he was fit anyway, and he's hardly had the legs of a 25 year old for us either, could be career over

His career has looked all but done since he left Munich TBF but sorry to read this. Hate to see any player suffer a bad injury like that.

Bastian still has an exceptionally good engine on him. Just needs to be well managed. He'll be back next season in great shape. Unless he decides he's won enough in life. He's in that classic period where you put two players like Herrera and Schneiderlin in front of him (same way Germany do) and let him control a game.

The issue with the injury isn't the severity, but the timing, makes it hard to be fit for the Euros, that's why hes a doubt.
 
I don't know why they didn't just give him a bit rest at NT training. There's a reason LVG only gave him 20 minutes of game time last few weeks. He was visibly chubby after the injury.

Incompetence at international breaks never changes.

And I don't know why you people think it's over for Bastian. He can't run as much as he used to, but he still covers more ground than most people on the pitch.
 
Should not of even been called up tbh. Oh well can have a long rest and get fit for the new season. Far from done and can play an important role for us next season if used right! Same goes for Shaw also. Please don't rush him back, and should not go to euros either.

People are so used to him covering so much, that when he covers less they think he's done. When actually he's just being less superhuman.

I remember in october time people saying his legs gone etc, shouldn't be playing for Germany and still covered the most ground in the qualifiers.
 
Meh, we could argue he may come back again but tbh he's pretty useless other than an influential figure to have around the squad nowadays. Too injury prone to ever be a key part of the team and build around, shame really, but there is a reason Bayern/Pep allowed him to go and this is it.

Could probably do with definitely one or maybe two CM's in this summer now.

ZZ's post a perfect example of what I'm talking about.

It's a 3 to 8 week injury.

Dude, he has been in and out the squad all season, I don't know what you're expecting to miraculously happen with him.

Schweinsteiger at this point will be nothing more than a luxury player for us (with his off-field presence more than anything), because we're not going to be able to build anything around a player who comes in and out of the team constantly.
 
Tyton said:
Pretty much. He's been a starter and plays the same role for many years, not like he needs to practice it more. Irresponsible from Low to even call him.

He's made 29 appearances for us despite injuries and poor management by end March, and being out of 2 comps. so you are looking at 35-,max 40 from him a season. Which is exactly right.
