The Manchester United Thread

My favourite United striker is and probably always will be Ruud Van Nistelrooy, that guy was just something else. His sixth sense for the right place in the box and poacher instincts, I've never seen someone come close to him in that regard. Plus so lethal when he had any kind of chance.

I remember one game in UCL where commentator would refer to him as "Satellite for goals". Always in the right place in the right time. Amazing player. Closest thing to MvB Netherlands will ever have.

From what I've seen live no question. Dude had everything. His all round game only maybe Hughes and Rooney are in the same conversation. But he's still a cut above anything L'pool have faced from Utd the last 40 years in my eyes.
 
MANCHESTER UNITED ENTER DUTCH TOURNAMENT

Manchester United are entering the Terborg Tournament in the Netherlands in May.

The Reds will be sending a team for the Under-19 competition, although the rules also stipulate over-aged players are permitted.

The event is being held on 26, 27 and 28 May with Atletico Mineiro, Ajax Cape Town and De Graafschap among those whose participation has been confirmed.

United are also taking part in the Dallas Cup, in April, and Otten Cup, in August, as the club continue to embark on foreign trips to enhance the current crop of youngsters' experience.

 
Seen this a few places today. Would be a great buy with Griezmann to bolster our attack!



In the columns of 10 Sport, and Le Equipe, it is learned that Manchester United has an option on the transfer of Bernardo Silva, the Portuguese offensive medium of ASM, which is highly coveted on the European market.

Bernardo Silva, who belongs to the Jorge Mendes team, is one of the most coveted elements on the European market. A club would have already advanced particularly on its future transfer: Manchester United. José Mourinho appreciates the potential of Bernardo Silva, whom he knows perfectly.

MU has priority for Bernardo Silva?

According to our information, Manchester United has already laid the groundwork for the summer holiday. Indeed, the club Mancunien would have already taken an option on the future transfer of Bernardo Silva. Clearly, MU did not close the deal, but it would be possible to buy the young Portuguese at a certain price until a given date.
 
Mata, Mkhitaryan, Martial and then adding in Silva and Griz?

You'd have great options but seems overkill to me

Yeah but after that we have nothing really. And all reports are saying Mourinho wants to add to attackers in the summer. Makes sense with Rooney, Young, Januzaj, Wilson most probably leaving and Memphis already gone. Maybe a bit of forward planning with Zlatan leaving next season, with Griezmann in mind and Rashford no where near ready to lead the line. Backs up our failed bid for Muller in the summer also as Mourinho tried to sign him and Kante after our other signings.
 
Travelling squad:

United: De Gea, O'Hara, Romero; Bailly, Blind, Fosu-Mensah, Rojo, Smalling, Valencia, Young; Carrick, Fellaini, Mata, Mkhitaryan, Pogba, Lingard, Schweinsteiger; Ibrahimovic, Martial, Rashford.
 
I just don't really get the Pogba vs Kante debate... have we lacked goals or conceding more this season? It's a lack of goals. Take Pogba out of this team and replace Kante, you have taken a lot of the creativity out of our midfield. See that pass to setup Ibra for the goal in our last game? Forget any of that.

I would of liked Kante, but over Pogba? No way on earth.
 
They are two totally different players, but our midfield would lack a lot without Pogba right now, the partnership he has formed with Ibra is deadly.
