The Manchester United Thread

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."

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.

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.

Key points
  • Some senior officials Not happy with comments on spending
  • They are okay with Mou having his own ways in dealing with Press, Officials, Opposition managers and even Ex players (Ahem!) But not happy with digs at spending
  • One united Figurehead says, players being linked to united by people close to Mourinho (Hi! duncan castles)
  • United happy with progress on the field and sympathize with the poor squad inherited by Mourinho due to Non improvement since Fergie era
  • Woodward ready to bankroll Mourinho's signing in this transfer window if required
  • Plans in place for 2 marquee signings in the summer
  • Understand united have fallen behind city,Willing to do everything necessary to catch up to city
  • Further Comments on spending will lead to confrontation with employers.
Basically, its ed saying please dont say anything to the media and i will spend . Looks like mourinho tactic to publicly question the spending is working.

Very strange to be recalling Dean Henderson from his very successful loan spell at Shrewsbury. Unless Joel is going out on loan second half of the season. Or Romero is being sold but I can’t see that. We are already stacked at youth level with good GKs. Strange!
 
It shouldn't be a tactic. If he thinks there are players here that are not good enough, why haven't they been sold in the previous summer? He needs to start taking responsibility himself.

Manchester United extend contracts of four players by further 12 months - but futures of three remain unclear @TelegraphDucker

Mata, Young, Blind, Herrera are the 4 with extensions.
Blind, Mata, Young are the 3 that remain unclear on long term future.
Also confirms Fellaini likely to leave and Besiktas have already started talks. But will be free in the Summer not Jan.
Mourinho impressed with Shaw attitude and dedication has earned his immediate future at the club.
Blind still likely to be sold despite 1 year extension. Darmian to be sold too.
Mata likely to be kept as long term squad option, due to Miki leaving.
Young won’t get another contract after this latest 1year extension.
Carrick will retire.
Talks ongoing with Zlatan. Has suitors from MLS.

If true what Ducker is reporting. Which seems likely. Then that’s some seriously much needed trimming Carrick, Zlatan, Fellaini, Johnstone, Blind, Darmian, Miki all look to be going between now and the start of next season. Think a CB and some more u23s will leave also. Suppose will have players like McTominey, Periera, TFM, Tuanzebe playing a more prominent role in the squad. Then likely 3/4 coming in to add quality to the starting 11. CM and attack look the weakest areas for me.
