Not all that surprised as he's behind 3-4 players in CM, and he's too good/at an important 'you need to push on' stage in his career to not to play regular football. Would've liked to have seen him go on loan to a PL team though. But be good to see him with better teammates than at Granada.

Only thing is he's the closest profile to Pogba out of all our CM options, and could've replaced what he brings to a certain degree when Paul's injured/suspended/needs a rest.

If true need to get him tied down to a new contract first or else he can leave for free next Summer :(
 
Disappointed if Pereira leaves again on loan... shown how good he is last season... we don't need him to show it again. If we must send him out on loan.. at least make it the PL.

Plus think we could really use him this season, Pogba getss injured the replacement is? Herrera? He's a lot of things but think we lack creativity with him.

Think Pereira would make a good alternative option in the no.10 position as well.

As settled as our team seems to be right now, I still think we're only one or two key injuries away from it looking a lot different, like last season. Whilst we have a big squad, I don't think it's like for like in quality.
 
He needs to play but he's the best back up to Pogba and Herrera. That said, Herrera hasn't started yet, and he's gonna be benched for Pogba when we play this formation. Unless of course the bollocks turns out to be true and we do sign Lemar. Then it makes sense

Herrera is definitely creative and he's miles ahead of AP

That's Rashford in a nutshell. Martial the much superior finisher. Literally wish we could mix them together and cancel out eachother's flaws, what a forward that'd be

That player would have called Ryan Giggs.
 
SportsWitness: Valencia have asked Man United for the loan of Andreas Pereira, confirmed by Sport Witness. Mourinho not keen. #MUFC

Spanish Radio this Morning-Am told that there is strong interest from Valencia for Andreas Pereira, but José Mourinho does not want to loan him for now.

Tbh, with our attacking band of players I think we could do with adding another, not losing one.

When the games start to come flooding in everyone should get plenty of opportunities.

I would have said yeah. But with Zlatan and a Young coming back that's 2 more right there. On top of Lukaku, Rashford, Martial, Lingard, Mky, Mata, Periera. Plus Shaw being back now will give Mourinho that option at WB to switch to.

I'm hoping Zlatan is a squad player and not a regular starter.

Well, as there is no chance Mou benches Lukaku, the only way to fit him in is to bench Mata and move Mkhy out to the right and play Zlatan as CAM.
 
He's a bench player. and covers injuries. Doesnt and shouldn't get ahead of Rashford
 
Tbh now we have nearly a fully fit squad except Rojo. Think we have really good depth for a good push on all fronts this season. Especially Prem and CL. Different options also if Mourinho wants to change formations and styles of play. Not fussed if no one else comes in.
 
Not interested in another player unless they are really raising the level of quality now

Draxler, Lemar etc.
 
watched the u18s highlights. Which we lost 4-2 and I honestly don't know how! Total domination possession, shots the lot. They have 4 shots and score 4 goals. Tbh Ercolani and Barrett were just a mess at CB! And going forward it was like watching the first team last season could of had 8 easy everyone missing sitters Burkart and Gomes the worst. Gomes and Barlow were class though tbh. But Utds best player was substituted Milan Baars looks a right serious talent, good he's finally got his clearance. Just need a couple more to get theres. Barlow scored a peno and we should of had 2 more! And Baars scored a screamer from about 20 yards. Laird and Oconner looked good at the back. Dissapionting result, but encouraged by our general play. Time to go see the u23s :) and see how Shaw and Young get on.

U16s beats Hong Kong FA U17s yesterday in their 2nd friendly in Hong Kong. Goals scored by Greenwood, Djalo/Odubeko and Mengi.

Starting XI was Allen - Wych, Mengi, Hockerhull, Elechi - Vint, Helm - Elanga, Greenwood, Sotona - Odubeko.

Djalo replaced Helm, Denham replaced Wych and Shoretire replaced Sotona in the 2nd half.

Joel
Olesunde-Williams-Tuanzebe-Shaw
Williock-McTominey
Young-Boonen-Mitchell
Bohui

Shaw looking trim. Will right a brief summary when get home :)
 
Little update. 0-0 after Mitchell missed a peno after Bohui brought down in the box. RoShaun Williams went off after 1 min elbow to the face. Was ****** went off swearing and kicking and someone told me he beat the wall walking down the tunnel couldn't see. Shaw looking solid so far been in a few crunching tackles and been fine. Oh and Swansea are right dirty *****, could of had about 7 yellows maybe a red. Ref very lenient! We're on top. I'm sure McTominey grows a foot each time I see him. Tuanzebe been a beast :)

Good to know we have our ready-made Fellaini replacement, not very good on the ball but physically imposing lol.

Lol :) tbh he's been really tidy and good in possession and driving forward tonight. But I don't think he will make it here. Think him and Willock will leave next Summer. Maybe Willock this.
