The Manchester United Thread

Extremely doubtful. The Everton forums would just implode. From what I understand though we've made an approach for Marcelo Bielsa, who wants to manage in the PL

**** gets real if Bielsa is appointed. Media will have a field day. Also it would be great for the league, so many good managers in the league at the same time. Would love to see Howe getting chance, looked very talented manager.

Yeh but you could argue that Pochettino is just climbing up the ladder so to speak, I mean Jose has moved from big club to big club whereas Poch has moved from smaller stature club to bigger one each time.

Thing that appeals me more about Pochettino is the way he utilises young players so well into the team and his ethos/style of play would be ideal.

Then again you can argue Mourinho can be brought in for short-term success to lay foundations for manager like Pocchetinno after. Problem is if another manager comes in and doesn't do well could set us back further than we are now.

But there isn't anything to say Poch would stay long term at any club. There isn't a manager in the world who would stay long term at clubs. Wenger would be the last.

Agreed about young players part. It's very interesting how he uses young players. Very admirable tbh. But the sample size is way too small to say he has what it takes to win trophies.

For now, most important thing for the club is to be back in the contention for the league and win some trophies.
 
ManUtd U21 are playing against Middlesbrough in about half an hour.

Rooney and Jones are starting along with CBJ.

Pereira is on the bench and good to see Tuanzebe returning from injury.
 
Reports in Holland saying we're close to agreeing a fee for Ajax academy player Hossian Zimani think that's correct spelling. Don't know anything about him apart from he can play Amc but is a preferred pacy winger.

So that's 2 from Netherlands after signing Fosu Mensah.

Hopefully there will be extensive recruitments at youth level. There is real shortage of players at under age levels.

I actually think Tuanzebe and Roshaun are better defenders than TFM. Think I would like to see him in CM, but could defo do a good job anywhere across the back if needed. Think you lose some of his attribute playing in defence.

Yep. Like I said know very little about him. Apparently we were in talks with him along with Chong. Looks like **** is being true to his word and investing in top talent from Europe and Local. All this with the new academy restructuring sounds very promising.

Yeah, Tuanzebe and Ro Shaun are proper CBs and that's their primary position. TFM is better tackler though. It's so easy for him, those sliding tackles. Not everyone will make it at the club but if these 3 does then we will be in very good position. I agree on Fosu Mensah, he should play in the midfield. He can play like Kante does for Leicester. Defensively very good and has good ability to carry the ball forward. Not to say he is a beast physically.

Nicky **** and the new Academy scout we appointed, Henny de Regt. IMO we will be signing lot of players from Netherlands considering we have dutch coaches and scout at academy level.

Yeah agree about those 3. We will be in great position if they make it and carry on at there current progression. Yeah true about De Rigt also. And think we are currently looking to employ more scouts abroad and full time local scouts which would be great. Just watched a few highlights of that Ajax kid, looks real pacy dribbling winger good with both feet and looks like he likes to get in the box and score goals, takes a mean free kick also. Passing is a bit raw but that's expected at that age, but his crossing is good.

Next year will be very defining year not only for first team but also for academy. Many of the U18 players are promoted this season, few to u21s and few to senior team. Next season players like Gribbin will be promoted to U21 and Gomes might be promoted to U18 (He is just 16 year old but made few appearances for U18).

Also if Rashford is promoted then our U21 and U18 lack striker. There will be lot of signings for youth teams. Also we will have James Wilson coming back.

Also Boonen and Gomes played superbly against Newcastle U18s,

For u16s Barlow scored goal after going rainbow flick.

Been impressed by some of the u18s Barlow, Dearnly, Boonen, Gomes. And a few others Kehinde included. Despite what has been printed our academy is not as some would led our fans to believe. We have a very good bunch at the club. Just short in a couple possitions.
 
******* ****, Rothwell is lucky that his leg isn't snapped into 2 pieces. Ref didn't even blow the whistle lol

Shocking challenge!!! Don't know what's worse that or the refereeing. Hope he's ok, always had high hopes for Rothwell and know he is very highly rated at the club.

He is subbed off now. Yeah Rothwell and Pearson were both highly rated but the way things are going can't see them making it at United.
 
I bet Rooney is **** for U21's and still comes straight back into first team 11.
 
He didn't do much in fairness.
Middlesbrough are parking the bus and it's a ***** match.
Decent enough finish from Paddy though, I suppose.
 
No it wasn't not. Even the mafia follows unwritten rule that family is off limits.
Well that family should stick their noses where it belongs. She tried to chat **** about Jose so she got banged

Just need 2 more points from 3 games to clinch the title. Looking very likely.
 
Very disrespectful mate. That's the Jose I hate and scared we will be getting.



No he won't be thinking "it's another job" but it will be just another job where he will fight with other managers.

Yeah we all love off the field entertainment mate, but IMO people are looking for something that's not there and raising their expectations for another big soap.

Wenger will obviously take a dig at Joes and vice versa but the way people are going with their stories is bit too much.



Developing footballer makes mistake and that's very much given but the way people are going on about Stones you would think we are looking at Nesta but he is just another English CB who is very good on the ball so he is rated very highly for his ball playing skills.

Calling him overrated doesn't mean calling him as not talented, obviously he is talented CB but not worth the hype or the money. There are better younger CBs out there who can be signed for smaller fee or talented CBs in the ranks who can grab the chance.
Rafa's wife called Jose a crappy manager that her husband was still fixing the "mess" he left at real madrid. Probably wouldn't have been as blunt but I would've been like "in today's society, people who don't know about football talk about football"

Reports in France saying we are the only English club interested in Ibra and we are the only club he is interested in joining. Think l, equipe first reported it.
