The Manchester United Thread

Mino Raiola tells us Zlatan wants to stay at @ManUtd but there are offers on the table and nothing is certain. But will stay if Mourinho and Utd want.


Excellent news will be great to have second half of season if all parties agree.
 
Carrick warming up for new role
It’s understood United are hopeful Carrick will start to help with the development of the club’s junior players as he continues to gear up for a coaching career after he retires.

Carrick has already begun taking his coaching badges and extending his stay at United beyond his playing career and it was noticeable he was guiding 16-year-old Angel Gomes during the warm-up against Crystal Palace.

Think he will make a good coach. Good head on his shoulders, and plays the game right. Will be great for our youth to tap into his knowledge.

Happy so so far from what I'm hearing since season is finished. Carrick and Valencia new deals. Herrera to be announced soon. Looks like DDG going nowhere. 1 new signing already for the u18s 2 more to follow soon. New announcement imminent on the new u23s manager. Zlatan looks to be staying. And good vibes on Griezmann, Fabinho, Keane so far. But let's see how that plays out.
 
Re: Dier, even though the versatile and classy Fabinho is first choice in both halves of Manchester, I'd take Matic (who is rumoured of fancying a Mourinho reunion) a lot quicker than the Englishman.
 
What's making me feel very optimistic is Mourinho's track record of improvements in second seasons, very good at diagnosing the flaws and weaknesses after a debut season, and fixing it with suited personnel
 
griezmann is coming,just a matter of time i have no doubts but he alone wont be enough.add 5 or 6 quality additions and we will be a very good side once again
 
For me -

Fabinho
Matic
Dier

The only thing about Matic is his mobility or lack of. If we play in a two. Don't agree djs think 3 quality additions and we are a good side again. A couple of good ones on top will make us a very good team and a very good squad

id love matic at utd,and willian would be a great signing but dont see chelsea being that generous

Fabinho

Dier

Yeah, though the same issues lie with Dier. Matic is just a classier version of him. Should be our plan B if Fabinho doesn't happen

keane,fabinho,rose,griezmann,willian and an out and out striker would be perfect imo but i see what u r saying.just think it will be a more intense season next year and we are gonna need to be stronger all round
 
I might be wrong here as I haven't watched Fabinho much, but wouldn't he just be a jack of all trades master of none type player?

No mate. His transformation from RB which he is very good at btw to DM has been amazing. He really is the complete DM/CM great defensively, breaking up plays, tackling, interceptions. And very good composure on the ball and had a very good range of passing short and long. Would be perfect for Pogba in a 2 or Pogba and Herrera at the base of a 3. Nearly excited about this as a new STR and Griezmann!

I think Fabinho won Player of the Year in Ligue 1 which tells how good he has been. Fabinho would be amazing addition to any club in the world.

The big Dane easy for me. Just about the perfect in all aspects keeper. DDG still has holes in his game, hesitant to come off his line and still not that commanding of his area.
