The Manchester United Thread

Oh yes I was waiting for the 'why are you so interested' rebuttal. Do you use it when the 'GTFO from the Liverpool thread' cannot work anymore? Still yet to see any post with even a semblance of logic or reasoning but I stopped expecting that from a while back.

Please enlighten everyone when I have used that line ...... Or you can just flippantly generalise everyone together. Or maybe ***** and twist some more about being told you have an agenda. Once. When you repeatedly refused to acknowledge a fella's own words and just carried on presuming what he'd do. But don't let the black and white facts get in the way of your obsession.

Comtinue on at your leisure.

Dude, this is a screen. Loosing my temper with you is the last thing I'd ever do.

But continue trying. Ever since you got caught out lying trying to be a smart ****, you've been jumping on me or piggybacking off others toward me. Which whilst flattering is also a tad disturbing.

Still nowhere near as disturbing as your obsession with Klopp ;)
 
Can't wait till tomorrow's game. First competitive one under Mou. Be nice to start off under winning ways, and see the lads at the top step of Wembley again :) All Italian media and some English saying Pogba will be travelling to England today to complete his move. Confirmed by Nerrozzi, Di Marzio, Amoyal and Ducker. Hope so and he can maybe get some mins off the bench against Bournmouth.
 
Ibrahimovic: "One game, one trophy" - Official Manchester United Website

"That is the first trophy game and that is the first trophy we will bring home. For me, every trophy is very serious. I have collected 30 trophies and I want to collect more of them. I’m not satisfied until I collect everything. That’s what we play for. I play to win.
"Wherever I came, they also play to win. I didn’t come here to lose time. I came here to win. I believe the philosophy is the same for the club, especially a club like this. They are made to win.
"That is the way it is. The first game, one game and one trophy

Just what was wanted from him a want to win anything and everything approach

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho defends decision to banish Bastian Schweinsteiger to reserves* | Daily Mail Online

Guess it was true then. Leaves a bad taste in the mouth but fail to see what other options were there in any case.

It's a really sensationalist headline as he never once said he banished him. He was asked what was happening with him (not whether he was banished) and then he spoke about the size of the squad.

"What is happening is what is happening in every club in the world. Which is that the manager decides his squad and chooses a certain number of players to face the season, and that’s it. I normally like to work with 20 players plus the three goalkeepers, which is what I do for 15 years. But we have so many players, so many competitions, especially the Europa League, which changes the profile of the season a lot. You have the big risk of travelling a lot, playing Premier League. So I made the decision to play with 23 players and two goalkeepers, which is a lot. I had to make my decisions, it’s simple."

Of course he never said he banished him but that was essentially what he implied. He never once denied that Bastian has been demoted to train with the reserves. I can understand the reason why though and there is no other option anyways. No sense having him train with the first team if he is not going to play.

You wrote have a word with him, and went on about it for most of your point. So yeah it could be a lot clearer, not that the point is relevant

Well imho if Mou has already started winding people up then he s doing his job properly. I can only imagine what he s telling the players developing the siege mentality that worked so well with SAF. And which had been lost till recently.

And yes scouse overreacted a "tad" as if we d be having riots and looting in the streets as a result of what he said. And what he said was not wrong btw.

Oh i love the smell of the epl in the morning! Finally.

SAF hardly created a 'siege' mentality to the level Jose does though. While Jose's methods undoubtedly work, it does get mentally exhausting for the players after a season or two as history has shown. For your own sake, you should hope that Jose reinvents himself as a manager but thats not looking like the case so far although its still early days...
 
United will be sending a squad to this year's Otten Cup in Eindhoven hosted by PSV starting saturday and finishing on Sunday.

It is an U/19 youth tournament and this will be the first year we will compete.

The Reds are in Group B along with Borussia Moenchengladbach, PSV Eindhoven and Chivas Guadalajara.

The tournament is 2 x 30 minute halves so they are not full matches.

I expect the official MUFC site will provide some details at some point.

Just been reading up on this and the lads have done well getting to the semi vs Barca tomorrow.
 
Remember how Bastian got his injury? Fighting for a 50-50 ball, late in the game to stop the counterattack. His leg bended so awkwardly, it looked like a guaranteed career ending injury. But instead of being carried off on a stretcher, he stayed on the pitch because you had no subs. He could barely walk.

I can get behind demoting superstars who are completely past it, or have already won everything there is to win and don't have that winning drive anymore. But that's not Bastian, that guy always gives his 110%. He even ended his NT participation to focus on United career, for god's sake.
