The Manchester United Thread

Mourinho want a DM so Pogba can play more advanced and start and get involved in Attack. Help with goals and assists. Not sitting deep. That's why he wants Matic.

I'd like a sleek, controlling DM in the mould of Xabi Alonso, someone who can control the pitch and free up Pogba+Herrera at the same time.Kimmich(reconvert to DM)Anyone?

Weigl but he has a broken ankle
Verratti but impossible
Kroos but again almost impossible
 
Always felt Pogba/Carrick was more the Deep Lying Playmaker like X.Alonso/Fabregas and Herrera/Fellaini the the Ball Winner like Khedira/Matic in Mous 4231'ish formation

He was when it was a Pogba Herrera combination, but he wants Pogba and Herrera both pushing on. Matic allows that and protects the defence.

Why would he wanna sign Griezmann then? :( Obviously Griezmann is not coming now so who knows!

Isn't Pogba that guy? Deep Lying Playmaker with physique and flair?

I think that's the position Pogba wants to play in and Mou wants him to play in, just like Pogba does for France?

Nope, Pogba is a Box to Box player, a la Vidal but technically much superior, he is the player who should be everywhere, all at once, but he needs a controller behind him to do that(like Pirlo was).I think Kimmich is the only one who is young, in the DLP mound and willing to come(We could try getting Marcos Llorente from Real, but I don't think he'd come)

Also, the French team is a tactical shambles, so don't cite anything from there as something to be done tactically, just don't

Riechedly Bazoer does this role well on FM, but I haven't seen him play irl

Just watching some match highlights of new youth signing Puigmal. Looks a serious talent like Gomes and Greenwood level. Very 2 footed good dribbler and class passing range for a player so you. And scary acceleration! Can wait to see him next season with the rest of the new and current talent.

Care to translate Gomes and Greenwood for me?The only Gomes I can think of is Andre Gomes and I've never heard of a Greenwood
 
MANCHESTER UNITED are in pole position to land Bolton teenage sensation Max Broughton.

The midfielder is also being chased by Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City after impressing for the Trotters and England at youth level.

SunSport have been told the 16-year-old is nearing a move to Manchester United due to the newly promoted Championship side’s close working relationship the Reds.

Club owners Ken Anderson and his son Lee are former agents and still have a good working relationship with the Old Trafford hierarchy.

United Academy boss Nicky **** has been playing catch-up since taking over the role and this summer has drafted in a host of youngsters into the Carrington set-up.

United are prepared to pay £1million plus add-ons for Broughton to head off competition from other Premier League suitors.
