The Manchester United Thread

Gary Neville said afterwards in an interview he’s been told it’s done just not announced yet. And will be captain more often than not.

Also Dan James has more gls than Lukaku did against the top 6 in his whole time he was here just read on Simon Stones tweet. That’s shocking tbh! Scored goals but not in the crunch games.

That could also be symptomatic. Mou had Lukaku alone up-top as a target man, without any real service, and more often than not, the ball was lumped up to him. Now, against normal teams, it's still manageable. Against top teams, you can't be a lone TM. ****, you can't be a lone striker itself, isolated without any real service. He will obviously struggle.

I'm not stating that it was the sole cause for him under-performing against top teams. Pressure sometimes got to him, and he missed silly chances. But all of it contributed to it. But anyhow, despite the disappointing end to his United career, where he ****** around after being professional throughout, I'm still happy we had him for two/three seasons. Felt we did not see the best Lukaku in action, but what have you.

Stop being pathetic for once, posting with these sarcastic little digs that you like to do. There is literally nothing I've said recently that justifies this type of post.

Thats what I thought mate but after looking even in teams like WBA and especially Everton that played to his strengths all be it lesser teams his record against said teams is still shocking.
 
Manchester United continue to plan for the future. Ole Gunnar Solksjaer is sending young attacking midfielder midfielder Aidan Barlow to his native Norway for further development. He'll play on loan in the top flight for Tromso, in the Arctic Circle.#MUFC#MUYouth

FB Gorge Tanner also going out on loan.
 
After the loaning of Aiden Barlow to Tromsõ yesterday. They have officially announced that 14 yr old CM Isak Hansen Aaroén has officially joined on a pre contract with us. He will stay there till he’s 16. And reports in Norway are saying that the 2 clubs will announce a official partnership shortly. :) Good news this signing and partnership imo he’s already killing it in there reserve team despite him just about to turn 15. Think it was Mitten the other day saying Utd were looking start partnership with a few clubs round Europe. Another good move!

Just been reading that new signing from Zaragoza Mateo Mejia scored 51 gls last season from winger/str :O

Official Joel Pereira has joined Hearts on loan for the season. And MEN reporting Matic told he can leave end of this season and we won’t trigger his extra year. And that James Garner has been promised first team minutes this season.

Happy with all of this. Sad about Matic losing his legs though, I always liked from real life to football manager
 
About time. Love OT but was started to look a bit dated. Nice to know they spent 20m in the off season on improvements with another 30m during the season.

Improved the handicapped section and increased space there, improved some hospitality boxes and improved the VAR area.

Oh ok I thought they had done something else. Wasn't they required to improve the disabled section? So that was enforced.
 
• One of his best friends has left the club
• He has fallen down the pecking order
• Italy has emerged as his most likely destination

Alexis Sánchez wants to leave Manchester United before the European window closes on September 2, reports @hirstclasshttps://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/sport/alexis-sanchez-wants-to-leave-manchester-united-before-european-window-closes-hgwq95nr6?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1565823703 …


Reports Lindelof set to sign a new longterm deal.
 






United's u17s beat Aston Villa( mixture of 1st team and reserves) 3-2 in a friendly today Omari Forson x2 & Dillon Hoogewerf with a penalty




Very impressive result despite being a friendly. As nearly all our players were 16 and future star Shola Shortire 15 made up the squad. Great to see new signing Hoogewerf get another goal! And Omari Forson who signed and stared last season has carried on and started this season on fire again. Seen as a lot bigger talent than Emil Forsberg at the same age. Excited times indeed.

Also seen even this morning we have an agreement with Russian attacking wonderkid Pinkyeav to join when he’s 18.

Chances are nearly zero on this happening. Roma are the only team interested and cannot afford his wages.

Not to mention we are going to need him at the very least as an extra body. Im also hopeful there a little bit of the old Sanchez in there too, he was decent for Chile this summer.

Well If reports are true he was upset how we treated his best friend in the squad Lukaku and a training ground bust up with Greenwood. Better off getting him out the dressing room.

I just don't see a team that can even pay half his wages being interested in him. If the Lukaku thing is real I'm not really sure how it changes the wage thing, Like I'd let him go for free because of the money we'd save not having to pay 350 a week but who at this moment wants him for that money?
 
Get rid of the likes of Darmian, Rojo, Sanchez, Mata, Matic before the end of next season. Bring in a top class CM/DM a top class winger/attacker and I agree with a few pundits we won’t be a million miles away under Ole and how he wants us to play. While having one of the youngest squads in the league. Average age against Chelsea was just 24.

Totally agree maybe he should be gone sooner rather than later if not I can see him causing trouble. Sadly however, his high wages and poor performances aren't going to attract decent offers. United need to get him gone even if it means continuing to pay some of his wages in the process. Better to get rid of a potential bad apple early than for it to fester and infect others.

Im going to be pie in the sky about this but Pogba was like Lukaku's bestie and he got tired of the nonsense and apparently they had a falling out because it so maybe with the likes of Pogba beginning to focus on field and a guy like Maguire in the room perhaps Sanchez will come around?

We'll obviously need a cleanout in the following windows but for now we do need the bodies
