He had already signed in the Summer. His clearence just came through. Watched his debut at the weekend. Very impressed! With his size and ability he will soon be promoted to the 23s. Maybe next season with a few others. Like Tanner, Oconner, Gomes, Burkart, Barret, Barlow.
 
Seen a bit of the yootoob video - having moved to New Zealand a few years ago not so 'up' with stuff going on anymore. Traore looks **** good, confident and good with his feet.
 

Scouts in Attendance
#mufc have signed 15yo #rsca MF Eliot Matazo through the Lukaku family...#mcfc #rbleipzig #Schalke #asmonaco were also interested.


Verliest Anderlecht gegeerd talent van 15? Youngster wordt ge






Since the start of last season our Scouting and youth recruitment has been absolutely fantastic at all age groups between 19-13 years of age! Don’t know much about this lad except an Anderlecht fan told me he’s one of the highest rated youth CMs in the country. And at the age of 15 is already playing for the u18s at club and international level full time. And has made his first team club debut already.

Looking forward to to seeing this lad and new CF Gomez coming through with the other additions we have signed. Signed a lot of highly rated youngsters from around Europe since start of last season.

Mourinho confirms at his press conference that Ibrahimovic and Jones are fit to face City. Bailly and Carrick out. Decision on Fellaini will be made tomorrow. Matic "is injured but will play".

Mourinho on Manchester derby, "To me? It means one more big match against one of the best teams in the country."

Jose on City: "Very good. We're a better team than last year, no doubt about it. I think City are also a better team than last season."

Mourinho, "This is a football match where I wish everything goes well for the fans. If taken in the right way, derbies are beautiful."

Mourinho on football identity in Manchester, "I live a little bit isolated from society, it's all about the training ground and the hotel, I don't feel it too much, I don't have that communication. I don't need that to know a derby is special."

Mourinho on size difference between teams and possible set piece advantage, "I think it will be easy for Kompany to compete against Mata in the air."

Sarky ******* haha.

You just know Mata is going to score the winner with a header, beating Kompany
 
From the embargo bit of Mourinho presser lol!

Jose on @ManCity: "They are a good team. They defend well, react when they lose ball. Have good dynamic in attack, creative movement, amazing players + fantastic coach. 1 thing I don’t like is they lose their balance very easily. A little a bit of wind and they fall.” :)

Mourinho's 'diving' comments about City quite clever. Sunday's referee Michael Oliver has given three penalties against #mufc and one for them in the last five games he's officiated them.

Fojitcek
Tanner - Ercolani - O'Connor (C) - Laird
Garner - Traore
Chong - Greenwood - Barlow
Mellor​

The Cliff today! #mufc: @mufcbeckham.



​

Liverpool captain Adam Lewis sent off after taking Chong out for the 3rd time. Mellor puts Utd 1-0 up after dominating from the start. Chong, Greenwood, Barlow, Traore been good so far. Chong tearing them to shreds. New signing Traore dominating CM (shades of Pogba/Rabiot about this lad!) and Greenwood and Barlow creating at will. Should be more up.

1-1 horrendous mistakes at the trying to play out from the back and losing the ball Millar with the goal. Lol 2-1 to Pool now despite being a man down. 2 quick goals at the start of the second half. McKenna will be fuming with the back 5 there overplaying far to much! And then Greenwood misses from 6 yards out to level. Defo more goals in this game!

Just switched on last 10 mins or so, unless I'm blind or watching the wrong game, we're on top and have squandered a good chance there and a few half ones before that?
 
Game of two halves.

Utd adapted the conditions the first whilst a real young L'pool were trrrible. But they battled hard and hung in there after a stupid sending off from the normally stellar Lewis. Some excellent 'keeping from the 16 year-old Czech.

Far better second half with two great goals the blizzard. Workrates been fantastic with Jones, Tagseth and Miller particularly standing out. Along with all the batting backline. Real good game considering the conditions.

This holds the final 2 minutes it keeps Gerrard's only unbeaten record the league going and puts them joint top with City. (Currently 2 down half time.).

Great start the weekend. The big question is will there be any first team Derby's the North West to follow?

Mad finish. Chance after chance to get the third. Utd equalise the last minute injury time from a redound another good stop.

Real good game all things considered. 66 minutes with 10 men the snow. Gerrards excellent start to management continues.
 
Yep defo game of two half’s. It’s good to have quality to come on and make an impact in Baars and Puigmal who scored the equaliser. Really excited about this group and the lower age groups.

Must be a nightmare for McKenna picking a team every week lol. Nice headache to have I guess :)

Utd u16s beat Pool 3-0 today. Not sure who scored yet.

TBF, he's fixing to end any lingering hopes of a title 'race' by going 11 points clear tomorrow. A little over a week into December. And in so doing playing some sensational attacking footie.

Naturally they're gonna' fill copy with just how good this City team is to this point as the team to look toward.

No snow in Round OT. But a few supporters busses have been cancelled to various parts. Game should go ahead.

Lets hope so, England matches are too easily postponed for me, a bit of snow and ice suddenly the countrys at a standstill!

Not like the authorities haven't had enough prior warning to grit and sand everywhere around the grounds.
