The Manchester United Thread

Just watching a replay of the first half. Carved them open at will with some great stuff at times. Mky been fantastic this season!
 
Expecting more to come from Mkhi tbh. I know it's ridiculous to say that with 5 assists in 3 games, but he has more to offer. If he's getting numbers like this with what I'd say to be 70% of his game, can't wait until he hits full flow.
 
Mata just oozes class! Was a great save by Kasparov to deny him first half. Not surprised Kasper saved the peno Lukaku always goes that side and has had a few saved also.

Yeah saw with the graphic he always goes there, he did in the FA cup semi. Someone should note it and tell him to vary it a bit
 
I doubt Perisic can play LB, so would you take Martial/Rashford, who are both in super form, both using each other as a healthy competitive rival for places, out of the side for him?

We have something good going on here, let's try not to upset it. Main thing is we have a high volume of crosses, when that's the case, something will happen. Even as frustrating as it is, during the game.
 
Phil jones is only 25, I would have said he was 27/8 he's been around so long. Hopefully he can avoid injury and keep this good form going, him and bailly work well together and as Bailly flies into tackles jones hopefully won't have to as much which should help keep him fit

Nope just get Shaw back!
 
Yeah, if Martial and Rashford are playing like this, I'm really not that arsed about a winger tbh. Zlatan in to provide more cover. What we need now is the return of Shaw and assess from there.

Lower priorities, but attacking cover/replacement for Valencia too.

Meanwhile Ivan Perisic got 2 Assists today in a 3-1 win against Roma, both from crosses down the left side.

Pretty woeful for that amount and only 9 successful/2 chances created from them. If you want to be a great team, going to have to be far more productive with them then that, especially against the top teams.

I get that people want Martial and Rashford to play, but honestly, they'll have plenty of opportunities if we get a winger or not.

Looking at that, it just tells me, how BADLY we could do with one in this team, doesn't have to be an auto starter, but we need someone who can offer that.

Don't forget if Lukaku gets injured any time first half of season up until January... Rashford is covering there also.

Mourinho wanted a winger before this window started, we shouldn't be saying 'well we will be fine without one'... there can be no excuses at the end of this season.
 
At the end of the day, Mourinho wants one, whether we'll get one, looks unlikely. But for me it is something we could look back on at the end of the season and think that's where we should of addressed. Was one of the priorities for me this summer, as well as Mourinho's.

You could tell on the touchline yesterday he wasn't happy at times with out width, kept instructing to certain players that they were staying too narrow.

Dont think he said winger. Remember him saying wide player in most of his pressers. We have Shaw and Young back close to first team action. Which is plenty for me no point buying for buying sakes imo.
 
Not being funny but how the f*ck is Young still here? The fact that he is even considered as a part of this squad kind of worries me. I expected him to be one of the first gone. Truth be told that's the spot we were replacing in reality, only with more quality with someone like Perisic, if it happened.

I really dont think you understand the success rate of crosses to chances created. Its really not that high, we dont need a crosser. Martial was causing havoc curling balls in

Because he's solid, very consistent, excellent delivery, covers about 4 positions.

He was actually pushing them up the pitch, it wasn't width

He doesn't want a winger, he wanted someone that would allow him to play 3-5-2 when needed

Im watching the full match now and he's definately getting them up the pitch. Don't know what's wrong with Young. Good squad player always solid fills different roles/positions. Good delivery and good in the dressing room and no problem for the manager when not selected. Would cost 50-60m to replace him.
 
Mike, how can you read that... 2 chances created from 40+ crosses... is anywhere near productive enough? You think we'll get that luxury against better teams? Really have to have more quality then that.

The only thing Young is consistent at last few seasons... is not making the bench. Picks up too many niggles and can't be relied on for real moments of quality. Which is what you need at the level we are playing at now, we're not Europa League anymore boys. *facepalm*

TOD and Mike, won't say a bad word, but we still need a winger.

You need on average 65 crosses per goal....

Funnily enough he's played in the champions league mate We're also playing in the Premier League, we've got about 60 games give or take, and he's a squad option.

As for special moments, I do remember pulling our *** out the fire against Basel with an injury time goal.

We've always had players like that in the side. He's not even in the regular 18, but OMG LETS GET RID OF HIM
