The Manchester United Thread

Fantastic to see Mata back. Will be key to us having a strong end to the season. And Pogba after today's game. Also been encouraged by Martial and Shaws turn in form the last few matches they've played!
 
Can't see both Jones and Smalling staying, maybe even both. Mourinho having another dig at them on MUTV interview.
 
Definitely can't see Jones staying the guy is an injury waiting to happen. He is a good defender when fit but it's no good being a good defender on the treatment table. It maybe now it's imbedded with him that he will get injured once more as soon as he gets off the treatment table. Smalling on the other hand may stay but he needs to be prepared to be a bit part player next season. Mourinho playing devils avocate to try and get the players to think more positively. Doesn't always work we all know that but when it does a poor team/player can often play beyond their ability and the pain threshold. Fergie was an expert at it although he kept his views out of the newspapers. I don't agree with Mourinho's actions (I still think he was the wrong man for the job) but he's always done things this way and isn't going to change just because he is at United.
 
Don't want to cut our losses on Shaw but we will need a second full back anyway
 
Everyone bar Bailly started like ****! Better the last 5 though. Can see where we miss Zlatan, no out ball whatsoever ever or hold up play. Herrera and Carrick getting out numbered in CM.

I suffered the same injury in 1996 (motorcycle accident). Compound of the fib/tib.
I've never fully recovered and the arthritic pain is a constant reminder.

I certainly wouldn't want athletes launching themselves at me.
 
You can really tell that we miss Pogba. Last two games without him we just cant even go forward without using the pace of Rashford or Martial.
 
Feel sorry for Rashford. Making good runs but no one feeding him the ball. Don't know why we keep putting the ball in from corners we have no height in this team. Mky and Mata on for Rooney and Lingard. Never a peno that!!! Well put away by Wazza though.
