Yeah, not bad .....
We play Spartak in Moscow the night before Utd play CSKA. In Moscow.
We could both be banned from Europe before MD3. That's if we don't disappear to Siberia!

City won't be happy travelling to Donetsk before coming to our place. Be even better if it gets moved to Saturday
Zlatan and Lukaku, we just need someone who can cross the ball now! 
If we get Perisic or another winger will be perfect window.
Would dominate the box with those two in a 3-5-2, probably won't happen but get a winger!

Hate 352 but that's just me. Castles and s few reports on France saying we are still in for Lemar. Who is another great deliverer of the ball.Zlatan and Lukaku, we just need someone who can cross the ball now!

Not a big fan of it either but it would be amusing just to see those two up front together.
My gut tells me we'll be seeing Zlatan around the Xmas run in, and he'd be absolutely vital in that tricky period. I don't think it's a case of Zlatan & Lukaku up front in a 2, I think it's more a case of having two top class CF's to rotate with and negotiate fixture congestion in what we hope to be a season fighting for every trophy.
Like Madrid last year, take Benzema out for a game and throw in Morata, no harm done.

If we put on all our 6 foot plus players rumour has it Tony Pulis will cream his pants

Pulis is Mourinho's successor when he leaves, everyone knows they are good friends.
It will be Moyes and Fergie all over again.
When Mourinho retires, he'll drive to Pulis's house and tell him 'Your Manchester United's next manager'.

These MD2 games can't stay like that. That's utter madness.

We've got plenty of crossers tbh. And we want to stay multi dimensional like we are now

Well we certainly didn't show it against Swansea considering how much space we had outwide to exploit for 80 mins! All of our players seemed hellbent on staying narrow and playing through the middle... whether that be due to their own devices or instructions. It was very odd, admittedly the fullbacks should exploit that somewhat, but never going to happen with Blind.

You wanted to win 4-0 differently?

Why?
L'pool/ Utd. In Moscow. At the same time. Going out the same planes. From the same airports.
Moscow's the single worst place to start with without worrying about running into Utd mooching round. Was always going to be on top with Spartak to start with. Booked the other two flight and train wise but seriously thinking of jibbing Moscow.
Lets be honest, that scoreline did flatter, not that I'm complaining but we need to make a note of how to improve even from games we win to develop into the future.
Our last 3 goals 80 mins onwards was more a result of Swansea going 4-4-2 and pushing higher up. If they had of stayed as they were probably would of remained a tight game up until full-time.
Again, I'm not trying to make that win sour or anything, but there was SO much space on the flanks we were not exploiting when only 1-0 up, it was almost odd. Take a look on MOTD highlights, it's so evident to see even there alone.
Swansea never presented a real threat because of how we played
It was mainly because Blind was not offering the overlap frequent enough for Rashford, which may have been instructions too - because as tidy and clever as Blind is, he has little to no recovery pace. We need Luke Shaw back ASAP. Need to match Valencia's end-to-end work rate on the left.
But with Blind as an attacking LWB, one misplaced pass in the final 3rd, a hoof up to Tammy Abraham (who was making every bit of the minimal service he got, stick), with Blind out of position/struggling to get back, who knows.. they maybe have caused harm.
So as much as I was crying out for him to support Rashford a lot more during the match, in hindsight, perhaps José wasn't too slow..... edit: unlike Blind
