The Manchester United Thread

That left hand side of a 433 with Shaw, Pogba, Martial will be devastating. Much prefer this formation. Hopefully sticks with it now and Herrera can kick on. The right side is the main issue now especially RB. When Lukaku is back out Lingard at RW if we’re not signing one. Lot of talk in Brazil and France today about Moura from PSG but let’s see. Matic defo needs a rest against Derby!

As as regards to contracts. Blind , Darmian, Carrick, Fellaini can all go. Keep the rest!
 
Good 2nd half performance blew Everton away, whatever Jose done at HT worked, gotta give credit when due.

Also just to clear something up, even though I’ve been critical of Jose in last weeks, I have still said Mourinho is the right man atm. Just needs to assess if he still is at end of season. Not that unless this second half goes terribly I’d want him chopped at end of season either.

Need to let him have his 3 years unless we don’t make top 4.

id keep Blind he’s done little wrong since being here and has played multiple positions. It’s rare you get a good utility player and every squad could do with one.

Not happy De Telegraph reporting with playing time. Don’t really need him tbh. Tuanzebe should be getting his mins at CB. And Shaw and Young have the LB spot nailed down with Mitchell as back up. And he’s not good enough for CM. I like him don’t get me wrong, won’t be sad if he stays. But not really needed.
 
Ozil, Dybala, Milinkovic-Savic... God forbid you guys actually buy something that you need badly. Like a proper right back. Or a pair of wingers.

Savic would be a great buy and exactly what we need in CM! And we are linked with shed loads of wingers. RB we have Valencia, Young, and a top prospect develop at palace. Plus most of our CBs have done good enough when played there. We linked with the likes of Dybala and Griezmann, Ozil as we lack quality at 10 and they can play wide/IF second STRs.
 
Just leaned that Ribalta scouted and recommended Dybala to Juve and was involved in negotiations and has a good relationship with him and his family. We are defo gonna sign a star for big Wonga in the summer. Mourinho all but confirmed it. And No7 jersey will eventually be back :)
 
Need a LB, box to box CM, and consistent superstar up top if Jose is to stay. After that, possibly a RB, but reckon Tony V still has another season in him and can share a bit of the load with TFM.

Jose could go for Perisic again, who knows. Don't think so though

Shaw carries on like this he could solve a huge problem and save a **** load of cash. Mourinho impressed by his last performances. And with Mourinho comments about 2/3 in and out in the Summer maybe Shaw finally has won him or winning him over. Agree we need a top BTB to partner along with Pogba. Savic or Jorginho would be good shouts. Then that superstar and a RW would be lovely. Would take Perisic but **** knows how much they would want now, with his new contract and great form this season? Need to keep Periera and TFM here next season!
 
Jorginho not a box to box mate, very much a Carrick type of player,or Veratti. Which would be nice too, and could work.

Yeah its hard to know, will he even be here next season to sign these players? Lets just wait and see.

Hope he is tbh.
 
I was ******** about us not playing 4-3-3.

We play 4-3-3, add the tempo second half and here we are. This is what it should be FFS
 
Mourinho, "Will we improve our squad in January or wait until the summer? I don't know, honestly."




Mourinho on January window, "I don't know, honestly I don't know. All I know that in this moment we are trouble”.

Jose on the new signing "I didn't know we were signing him, I came into training one day and saw him and wondered why he was here before he said he had agreed a deal late last night. Really I feel someone should let me know about the transfers, wasn't a good move telling Woodward I liked surprises."

I doubt that. Castles aka Mourinho in disguise, has spent last 2 weeks blaming Shaw for every bad result.

He knows about as much as you and me lol. He also said Goretzka was a top target despite him agreeing to join Bayern months ago. And said Jonny Evans was top target this month.
