The Manchester United Thread

Him and Smalling for next season? Hmmm, interesting, doesn;t exactly speak out that it will be a significant improvement on Smalling and Blind but I guess we have to trust Jose's judgement.

It will be a huge improvement on Blind and Smalling. Plus I think we will sign another CB.

I know very little about him (yuse where half right about the game in Villarreal. He looked great on the ball, as did all their back 4, but was at fault for both the early Allen chance and Lallana got free of him second half as was wrongly pulled back for off-side); but for £30 plus million he'd better be a huge improvement on those two for your sake.

It's only 19m upfront. And I would easily class him along signed Zouma before his injury having watched him this season.
 
Weren't we signing manolas? If you ask me, I think manolas>

Depends on the signing tbh. Would be a good squad player. But I would not mind if he left. We have Shaw, CBJ, Rojo, Darmian, Young who can play LB. We have Smalling, Jones, Rojo, TFM plus 1 or 2 CBs coming in then the highly rated Williams, Tuanzebe, Poole all coming through and Warrell and Olesunde. In midfield we will have Carrick, Schweinstiger, TFM, Herrera, Schniederlin, Fellaini, Pereira, Goss plus 1 or 2 new signings. I don't think we will miss him tbh.
 
Still hope we push for Marquinhos or Manolas as well as this chap we're signing from Villereal that would be pretty much solid looking defence in terms of CB if we ship out two of Blind/Rojo/Jones.

Our centre-back options next season could be: - Smalling, Marquinhos/Manolas, Blind, Bailly - I'd be happy with that. Bare in mind you could very well replace one of them with Fosu-Mensah, depends how Jose sees him, I reckon he might fancy him in a more midfield role. But time shall tell.

Yeah this guy and Manolas would be sweet. Next year have Smalling, Manolas, Bailley, Jones with some game time for Tuanzebe and Williams. All most certain Blind and Rojo will be gone.

Or you keep him, since he has done well for his first season in the PL in a new position. He's a great utility player and will be very useful as a squad player atleast. Would save you 2 signings for the CB/CM/LB positions to deepen your squad.

I would not be fussed either way. But not sure Mourinho will be keen. Can't see were he fits in tbh. But depends on sales and signings. Personally I think there was truth in the Mata and Blind leaving SSN reported. It's the same Sky sources that said about Zlatan.
 
Blind would be guaranteed starter if he was 2 inches taller, but Mourinho is obsessed with having tall backline. In midfield he'd be 3rd in pecking order behind Carrick and Bastian. On left back he'd be 3rd in pecking order behind Shaw and CBJ. So yeah. I have a hard time imaging he'd accept being reduced to backup of a backup after 2 years of being guaranteed starter.

Not sure why you think my opinion is blinkered by Jose going to Utd, Jose's always wanted the Utd job i've always known he would take it one day. We had problems under him and still have problems now i'm not bothered in the slightest trust me. I'm just pointing out what Jose is and that's a quick fix results man and a sensational one of that he is. However because he's so good at that kids aren't part of his plan its just a fact, he demands results instantly which means not taking any risks and kids are a risk. And trust me tactically i'm far happier with Conte than Jose especially in the last 18 months, 4-2-3-1 only got ******* boring.
