The Manchester United Thread

Mourinho just confirmed fellaini has injured his knee again.

If reports are true about varane being available for £52m then that is a priority signing in the summer. We can't let him go at that price in this market.

I will say De Vrij is on level with Jones at his best. But Gimenez has been dire. Struggling to even get in the team since the second half of last season.

He's still raw in some aspects and needs rounding out. But he's young enough for anyone to mould how they wanted him.

But as a pure defender, as Uruguayans tend to specialise in, he ****** all over anything you've got not called Bailey IMHO. Your defenders look a ways better than they individually are by virtue of the WC fella' they can rest easy on behind them.
 
Fellaini wasn't hooked. He's done his ligament. That entire game came down to not having three in the middle. You do that you can control the midfield or drift one of the cms wide to pick up the full back, in this case Tripper. Leaking yourself the option on the counter.
 
Just showed on BT Mourinho lambasting Pogba on the touch line for not sitting next to Matic. I know that’s not his game and we should of played a 3. But he’s got to be more disciplined if that’s what the manager has asked him to do on the night.

Should of been a easy selection.

DDG
Valencia-Smalling-Jones-Shaw
Matic
Herrera-Pogba
Sanchez-Lukaku-Martial

I know Lingard has been playing well but Mourinho should of known to sacrifice an attacking player. Especially against this Spurs side or any top side really.
 
Still hoping we sign another striker in summer, although with Jose's comments about only signing 2 players it seems unlikely.

Just losing my patience a bit now with Lukaku and think we need an alternative to offer real competition.

The difference between him and Kane last night was night and day. Frustrating.

Lukaku wasn't the problem last night. The complete absence of midfield platform was. Also we have two alternatives: Sanchez and Rashford

Looks like I was right btw, Jose obviously not too keen with Sanchez as an outside right either. Sanchez is a superstar and he brings so much to us, but in hindsight, Mahrez probably would've been the better fit in terms of what we need; to mirror Martial's threat on the right.

It was just a mess last night. Martial clearly not comfortable out on the right, and Lingard's much better at #10 (grew out of the game when switched wide right). So either Sanchez plays there, or it's just a circus.

Clearly you must be mistaken, Mike already explained that Sanchez won't be competing for position with Martial and Rashford.
 
Still don't for the life of me know why we want to keep Fellaini.. he's old... injury prone and useless now.

He was only useful when you wanted a lamppost up front to lump it to... we've got Lukaku now... who struggles doing that admittedly with his hold-up play leaving a lot to be desired.

As a result. Jose got it horribly wrong last night (H)
Should have been a 3 man mid, Martial left Sanchez right.

Midfield was undermanned and Martial looked awful on right.

The U16 team will travel to Munich for a tournament in two weeks.

"Semi-final" against host Bayern Munich and then against the winner of VfB Stuttgart vs RB Salzburg.

Periera starting on the LW against Barca tonight. Played well against them last season. And our scouts are there watching Soler again who is playing RW.

Should always be a 3 if you have Pog for me..

Pogba - Matic - Seri
Martial - Lukaku - Sanchez
