The Manchester United Thread

Martial has had an iffy season, but that's just as much down to him than it is the way he has been used. He has actually shown a lot of application in my eyes, I remember the game vs City at the Etihad towards end of season, he done a great shift defensively and had virtually no attacking prowess to use that game thanks to the setup.

He's 21, hugely talented, we'd be utterly stupidly bonkers to push him out. Another Pogba springs to mind if we do.

You have Robben as limited?

Interesting. Aside from his diving, I don't think there's been many moe talented wingers the past decade personally. I guess he favours his left more but he's been great either side.

What he means is robben just does one thing and one thing only: Cut in on his left foot and try and shot/a cross.

It's just a different system. The lack of defensive stability meant the wingers needed to be more defensive than either would have liked, it worked for Miki, but not so much for Martial. Get a better CB, and a DM and the flanks can play faster and harder. Jose's best style actually suits Martial, high tempo and direct. He's fine out wide, we just need to change the play a bit.

Fact he often does not get the support and is left on the island alone does not help. He's often double, if not triple teamed. He doesn't help himself by over dribbling, but purely 1 on 1 scenario, I wouldn't have any other player from PL. And he does not miss sitters like Uniteds other players. He'll do just fine with a bit more freedom and support from other players.
 
Perisic ripping Udinese a new one atm. On fire beating players doing the dirty work and has a goal and assist :)

Also devastating on the break.

2nd assist. Skinned the FB like a fish. Great pick out.

Just a bit of food for thought. Different players I know but-


So, he scored 11 goals and 8 assists in 41 matches with a **** team.

B.Silva scored 11 goals and 10 assists in 60 matches with full attacking team.


Make that 3 assists ;)

Which tells you nothing, Rashford has 1 assist in 32 prem games this season, yet still one of the best things on the pitch

Dinner? DINNER?!!!!! Are you having a flashback to mid-day and dinner time?!!!! Get you trying to go all Southern posh Tory on us! It's yer tea! And why haven't you had it at 5 like everyone else round your way?!!!!!

Wait until the Gorton lads hear about this!!!!!
 
Perisic defo leaving Inter. Watched the game, was fantastic btw. When subbed got a huge ovation and looked emotional. Then after the game he stood in the centre circle alone with his kid, and waved to all the supporters in the stadium. No let's see if it's us or Chelsea who gets him. Would love him here tbh.
 
Just seen Utd are very close to announcing the new u23s manager. Great stuff! Got a feeling it will be Karanka or this top guy from Chelsea youth set up.


Just finished watching FTD end of season review. Had Jamie Jackson on there from the Guardian. He said that he's been told by people at the club, that Mourinho wants to partner Lukaku with Griezmann. Also mentioned Mourinho likes Dier. IF that's true would be good with those two working together and would certainly add a lot of goals we've been lacking. But hope it doesn't drag on with Everton sounding like there not budging on the price.

Lukaku & Griezmann very close friends with Pogba. If that's not what you call building a team around a player, I'm not sure what is. Be good chemistry :)
 
So anyone any wiser to our targets/ Jose list? I mean we can all pretty much agree on positions, ST, DM, CB, LB, goal scoring No10


STR - Lukaku, Belotti
DM - Fabinho, Dier
CB - Keane, Linderloff, Gimenez
LB - Mendy
10 - Griezmann
Surprise signing - Perisic

Thats the players I think likely to come in for the positions. If we get 6 players from that list would be a very good window and address the areas in our squad we are weakest. Not sure LB is a priority depending on what happens with Darmian or Young. Perisic is the surprise one for me. Maybe Mourinho wants an out and out winger in the squad. Also think he would be a big game player for Mourinho. Super work rate and determination, and would be very good in games when we look to hit teams on the counter.
