The Manchester United Thread

The **** thing about the ban is that it was only carried over at the request of that FA. Which means the Italian FA would have asked for it to carried over. Why? I

Don't think I have been so excited on the eve of Manchester United's opener. I wish that Pogba ban wasn't in place, it would've been ideal to bring him on and give him 20-30 minutes, get him stuck back into training on Tuesday, and then throw him in the starting 11 on Friday night in what should be a tricky game.

Great isn't it?

Had an Evertonian mate narking last night that they'd signed nobody and were gonna' get licked by 'Spurs today ..... Like seriously, you're a football fan. If yers can't be excited and optimistic at this time of year, just what is the point?

Hahaha yeah, although I don't know what he's crying about as I think Koeman will do well with them. If they get Bolasie, then they sign one of the best out & out wingers in the league (on his day). Stones was flashy with potential, but Ashley Williams is a lot more suited to them as a no nonsense centre half imo. Martinez is the type of coach who gets a side to a certain level, and to be perfectly frank, gradually falls backwards, good luck to Belgium lol.

If I were them I'd cash in on every last penny I could get for Lukaku, and buy accordingly, although he has proven he will score goals so I understand it's hard to sell him.

Anyway, enough about Everton lol!
 
^ No but I see Gary suckered a relative out of 50 quid lol!

The u18s lost 4-0 yesterday. Played fairly poor tbh. But had a few injuries a lot of players playing out of possition and players waiting for clearance still or not played due to having played youth international friendlies. And had a sending off.
 
Good read this!

On Adnan
The United manager justified the Januzaj decision on the basis that at least under David Moyes he is likely to get games and his progress can be monitored, whereas that did not turn out to be the case when on loan at Borussia Dortmund last season. “We cannot be selfish,” Mourinho said. “We think Adnan is a talented player but he needs games for his development. Hopefully everything will work out for him this season because we want him back. ”
​
On Paddy
The same principle of needing more games applied to McNair, though in his case it was a conclusion arrived at by the player himself. “I didn’t want him to leave but he wanted to go and make a fresh start,” Mourinho said.

“He didn’t want a loan, he didn’t want to go away and feel like a hostage of the club’s desire to bring him back. The kid came here at nine or 10 years old and we all decided that if this is what he wants he deserves our help, but I didn’t want him to go as I still think he is a good player.”
​
On Memphis
“Depay is very much part of my squad,” Mourinho said. “I know you look at the last match and he was not even on the bench but in September we have the EFL Cup, Europa League and Premier League, so that will be the end of the frustration for the players not being selected at the moment. I was impressed with Depay at the last World Cup and that was two years ago when he was a very young kid.

“I watched him many times at PSV, and having that player in mind, I want to keep him. Especially as I see a good boy, a good professional. You can see him driving a nice car and think his mind is not on football but that is not the case. I don’t care what people think, I believe in him. He is frustrated with what happened last season when he lost all his confidence but he will be back.”
​
On Marcus
Rashford, too, will have to be patient and await his chance, despite having broken through to the extent of playing for England last season, though the striker is only 18 and arguably ahead of schedule. “I see why English football has such high hopes for him, I like him a lot,” Mourinho said.

“He’s very good but he is still a young boy with a lot to learn. At his age he can have ups and downs, and you have to be ready to support him if that is the case. Potentially he’s a very good player indeed and he is already a good professional. The way he works and the way he lives, it is all good.

“Whether he remains in the England squad is up to Big Sam [Allardyce] now, it is not my decision, but I can say he is one of my important players and he will play a lot this season. After that Sam will make up his own mind.”

I am glad that he Memphis is in his plan, so is Adnan.

Interesting read a bit annoying about McNair but I can see why the prospect of a few loans was unappealing. Hopefully he can improve Memphis though and Adnan can have a good loan
 
Shocked that Mata is actually starting in a mourinho side. Lol.

I doubt he'd start in a big match.

I'm a little more shocked that Fellaini has retained his place after that f*** up, and besides Bournemouth aren't exactly a route one side; they play ball, Carrick or Schneiderlin for me.
 
But what's up with mhkitaryan tho? How can we let a man of his caliber waste away on the bench at the expense of an off form rooney?
