The Manchester United Thread

Yeh, we still need that winger though! Then I think we're solid for this coming season. Just imagine as planned if we had actually of got Griezzmann as well, would of been perfect. That one is happening next summer though. ;)
Yeah another attacking wide player would be great. Can't believe it's only 1st today. Still nearly a month left in the window. Aurier would be the cherry on top!
 
Oh and for the record, I'm not suddenly going to say that I think this is the best signing ever. As that would be very hypocritical of me.

But the more I think about it, we knew how badly we needed a holding midfielder this summer, it was arguably our most important signing as well as a striker. We've seen how hard they are to come by, we could off easily gone into next season with no one, the fact that we have now got one and a proven winner at that is only good in my mind. The alternatives weren't any more proven and in Dier way too expensive and frankly, not as good.

Matic's signing is less about Matic and more about what he does to the rest of the side. And if he gets back to his best, we have an incredibly powerful midfield

Judging by last seasons PL stats, even when he's not at his best, he still gets more assists than anyone in our team, which is rather worrying!

This.
That is exactly why I am delighted we brought him in.
 

I think 'crass' is more the word you're looking for. You'll end up looking like minor leagues who do need the extra revenue and a clown show Americanised 'entertainment extravaganza' wringing every last £ out they possibly can.

I am not naive enough to know the game isn't big business today and ALL about making the most you can. But there should be limits.

Gonna' hate seeing L'pool with a 'sleeve sponsor.' The PL/ Cup/ UEFA Badge of Distinction things the sleeves are intrusive enough as it is.

Stats count for little on the face of it, Ederson had 2 assists in the league last season, Myki had 1. who would you rather have making chances? Its not how many pieces in the box, its if the piece fits the puzzle :) (or something).

:p

That's modern football for you. Only a matter of time before they rename Old Trafford to Nestle Arena, and instead of You'll Never Walk Alone you'll be signing tooroo-rooroo-always-Coca-Cola.
 
Doesn't look like Mitchell will be with the squad tomorrow, he's expected to play 90 mins for the u23s against Oldham tonight.
 
Bale injured again. What a surprise :/

Thank **** we are not interested in Sanches!!!

Renato was awful... Don't know what happened to him in Munich, poor fool forgot to play football...
 
Fellaini is Zidane for this Sanches. Just came back from some local tournament, lads there hasn't made mistakes that Renato did. He was terrible.

Poor lad. On top of the world great season at Benfica and Euros. Wrong move going to Bayern hardly played and when he did the pressure got to him. Then the price tag on top of that. Looks completely shot of any confidence. And scared to do the basics now. Needs a loan or a sale where he's gonna play week in week out. Maybe at a slightly lower level.
 
Same could be said about all of Bayern's players today, he was also excellent from the start vs Chelsea

Yeah but you can see on his face the complete frustration every time a simple pass goes wrong, then he just gets worse. Expect him to have more bad games than good. That's even if he gets that many at Bayern.
