The Manchester United Thread

Surprised Zlatan has gone out so quiet on here. What a free signing he was! Gave us everything; leadership, charisma/character, that hunger to win that I've never seen so high in a player... that on top of all his goals & class. Only regret was not signing him the big man 3-4 seasons ago. For me, one of the all time great strikers. Proven himself in every league, never shied from a challenge... didn't have to come to the PL at 35 years old, didn't have to prove the closed minded British media anything, but came, conquered, & shut them all up.

All the best with whatever you decide to do, you big Swedish legend!

You reckon? Because I've been hearing Mourinho going after BOTH Morata & Belotti. Wants 3x #9's (Rashford) to juggle with in all competitions, with no big drop off in either.

I can see the logic behind it, with PL, CL & all the cups, trying to build something very deep, but the realistic part of me smells bullshit as you'd be talking over £100m on recruitment in that position alone.... but maybe as you say, he's going to sign one of those, and then go back in for the big Swede in January? That's some illuminati level of speculating there though.

Yes lol ;) Been reading the same. Think it was Delaney who reported it. It's been known Mou wanted 2 attackers from the start. But can't see Moratta coming for 60-70m and Belloti for close to 80m :O defo smells of BS as Moratta is only coming as he wants not to be a bench warmer. Not to factor in Rashford, Martial as options. Makes sense to sign Morata and have Rashford as second choice with Martial as an option. See where we are and Zlatan is in new year and go from there. Kinda like what Fergie wanted with Larson. Could help us secure some trophies stay fit and provide that huge experience in the run in. Then sale off to Napoli, America or wherever.
 
If the reports by various sources in Spain is true then 64m£ is a great deal for Moratta in today's market!
 
I hope the majority of you all apologise to damola if Utd sign Moratta for all how you argued against him and dismissed the Spaniard as not very good for the vast majority of the season.

It's not like you Scouse to put a sour tone on a United signing?!

I don't remember that.. but hey ho.
 
Nothing sour here lid. I'd much rather you signed Moratta than roll with the very dangerous Frenchman you keep sticking out the wing. (When you do actually play him that is.).

I just find it amusing looking back just a few months to read people lambasting damola and 'not rating Moratta at all' to now being all giddy in excitement.

How quickly things change.

Ahem. I think you'll find I was very much behind Morata.

Martial is actually far more dangerous on the wing than he is up front...
 
Moratta been my prefered preferred choice since being linked with the likes of Belotti etc. Now get Perisic done. Martial better on the wing for me. But does a good job up top of needed.
 
Also, no one is going to apologise to Damola. he's like a broken clock.
 
And I never really had an opinion of him until of late. Only seen limited amounts of him, but impressed with what I've seen, and his numbers, despite being deceiving, are v. Good
 
scouse i can hear your phone ringing my friend,think its klopp needing some advice on how to sort out that defence of yours
 
So currently in the works:

Morata
Lindehof
Perisic

Which leaves us a defensive mid, and potentially full backs, depending on the future of current players (Shaw/Darmian)

Just add Fabinho to that list it will be a very good Summer!
 
All the pace of Rash/mkhi/morata/martial/perisic and creativity of Mata/Pogba **** that is some front line
