The Manchester United Thread

Signing Neymar is probably the only way Mourinho could sell Martial without United fans completely looking for his head on a stick (anymore than some are already). That's how much of a fan favourite our French 'Tony is.

Griezmann. There's only a handful of players I'd swap Martial , and he's one of the time.

Also the play backwards and defend first thing is largely nonsense when you consider how the other flank plays. They just don't really see eye to eye on game time at the moment. Lots of people mention Sanchez, but it's actually Lingard keeping him out, he's been immense

Be a bit weird seeing Carrick in a Utd shirt for the last time today. Been a great servant and very underrated by England even some Utd fans. Looking forward to following the next chapter of his at the club. Seen a few reports that there will be a special tribute to him and Fergie today either before or after the game and Mourinho will give a speech.

Been told there is a chance Gomes and Chong will be on the bench. And that Gribbin, Chong, Gomes, Hamilton, Tuanzebe, TFM, Roshaun Williams, Mitchell, Pereira and one of Laird or Greenwood will be going on tour.

Tribute to Sir Alex Ferguson in today’s @ManUtd programme. Jose: “We are all very, very positive about his ongoing recovery.”

More Jose in programme: “Developing the mentality is the next big step this squad has to take.”

I'd have him in a heartbeat. And Shaw for that matter for quality depth to rotate with Robbo.

Beyond criminal how he's treated the latter in particular.

But narky **** would never sell to us so it's pointless even letting yer mind wonder.

Its a ******* shame Martial did not start, **** even play in this game.

Is he really injured or snubbed again, who knows...

Injured MUTV said. GF labour stuff was rubbish she’s not that far gone.

Great ball by Carrick! Unselfish by Mata. 1-0 Rashford

Yeah, something seems wrong there, at least for me. Oh well.

Pity we couldn't take a few years off Carrick. This is exactly what we need, someone to dictate the tempo, control the game & break lines like that.

Jorginho is literally on the market & available. Kroos #1 at it.

baring something major happening can see him leaving. Will be a little gutted but not overly fussed tbh.

Watched Shaktar a lot this season especially since we was linked in Jan. And Fred is actually very good at this. His final ball usually splitting the defensive line is actually very good short and long. He’s actually a bit more all rounded. Incredible engine and technically good on the ball with good dribbling and driving runs. Very strong too.

 

[Theatre of Dreams83]

Wow Chelsea! Thought they had a weakened tram out but it’s full strength :O

 

[Theatre of Dreams83]

I know it’s been a dire game and no one has really impressed. But Rashford has frustrated the life out of me today!

Goodbye Carrick great player, great man and true Utd great! Thanks for all the memories.

He was set to start tbh.

 

[Theatre of Dreams83]

Don’t usually expect to many major changes in the Summer but can this year. Think Jose knows need to get rid of the deadwood and players he don’t trust. And improve not only the 11 but the general quality of the squad!

Mourinho: "Martial was injured. Friday training session. He had treatment at the training ground this morning. I don't know if he will be fit for the final. Knee problem." #mulive [bbc]

Jose Mourinho confirms no direct replacement for Rui Faria: "No number two. I will reorganise my coaching staff in a way assistant manager doesn't exist."

Jose: "Rui Faria. It is difficult because he is my friend. 17 years is a long time. We spend more time with each other than anybody else in our lives. It is a new moment for me. The process of education is something I like to do. It is an opportunity for other guys in the club to step up."

I will have specific coaches, analysts and no assistant manager. I think it will be Michael Carrick in the future when he has his badges." #MUFC

Yeah, but something happened..
