The Manchester United Thread

Prob goes through every kids mind when a new signing comes in at first. At least till he knows he will not be overlooked. Stating the obvious on this one redknapp.
 
U23s: #MUFC team to face Tottenham - J. Pereira, Riley (c), Warren, R. Williams, O'Connor, Hamilton, Barlow, Chong, Gomes, Boonen, Bohui.


Subs: O'Hara, Olosunde, Buffonge, Kehinde, Burkart. Kick-off at Old Trafford is 19:00 GMT.

Great team that! Oconner, Barlow, Chong, Gomes, Burkart all promoted from the u18s :) and most start. Oh dear Hamilton......
 
Rashford will be fine, he has played a lot last few seasons, bit of rotation will do him good.. Plus the signing of Sanchez isn't to replace any one position or player per se, it's to offer us flexibility across the attacking band
 
Huddersfield or Birmingham next round :) Great game for the u 23s so far. The youngsters been the far better team! All Spurs interested in is kicking the **** out of Chong! Refs been a joke. Gave a soft peno but Joel Periera made a good save. Tbh they’ve been hacking down all our players.

I don't see how Redknapp's article is at all controversial.

United were already crowded in the front with 5 players competing for 3 forward positions, but Rashford managed to get a lot of play , because Miki was **** and Zlatan is out. But with the arrival of Sanchez, the same 5 players will have to be competing for 2 positions, as Sanchez will expect to play almost every game (as he should). So that's Lukaku-Martial-Mata-Lingard-Rashford fighting it out to fill 2 remaining spots. Not exactly comfortable situation for a young player to say the least.
 
Tahith Chong makes it 1-0 after cutting out a pass and showing great composure to beat the keeper :)

Watching this tonight I have no doubt that most of these have the talent to make it here. Of course anything can happen and there’s no guarantees. But on talent and mentality alone our group of youngsters have it.

Rashford has made appearances than anyone not just this season but also last season. They don't compete for position. Zlatan is going too. Rashford only competes against Martial. What he said isn't controversial, just completely bollocks
 
Lol spoke to soon. All the defence bar Oconner has imploded. GK too. 1-3 Spurs :( Mourinho watching won’t be to chuffed with this defending watching from the stands. Injuries have really done for Williams. And Warren is shot for confidence some time reason this season. Both equally as talented CBS as Tuanzebe.

Finished 1-3. Seriously need to be looking at Sbragia. No plan B always late changing things subs etc. No clear game plan/ tactics.

Phew. That Cup ties gonna' naughty whomever it is.

Expecting fun and games at Huddersfield tomorrow after what went down with Utd there earlier this season.
 
Chong highlights vs Spurs. Ref was a disgrace. Was kicked to bits all night. But kept getting up and being the best player on the pitch. Won’t be long before he gets the call up for me. Potential WC talent!




Tahith Chong vs. Tottenham. #MUFC

GEORGE TANNER SIGNS UP WITH UNITED
Manchester United have handed a first professional contract to George Tanner.

The 18-year-old, from Blackpool, is a wide player who was effective as a winger before being converted to a full-back.

An England Under-17 and Under-18 international, he has gained experience in the UEFA Youth League this term and helped Nicky ****'s side reach next month's play-off with Serbian side Brodarac.

He made 27 appearances for the youth team last season and has been praised by coach Kieran McKenna for his versatility and character.

REDS YOUNGSTER DUNNE
Another Manchester United Academy prospect, Max Dunne, has put pen to paper on a first professional contract at the club.

Dunne, an 18-year-old local lad, has joined the pro ranks following the recent announcements of deals for Angel Gomes, Aidan Barlow, Aliou Traore, Arnau Puigmal and George Tanner.

The centre-back played in the recent 4-2 win at Stoke City and will look to push on under coach Kieran McKenna, who recently described him as a “tough, aggressive defender who is good in the air”.

Dunne could feature when the Under-18s are next in action, against Derby County on Saturday.

That match will be broadcast live on MUTV and kick-off is scheduled for 12:00 GMT.

From Di Marzio and Sky Italia-

Important news at Roma home about the incoming market. The Pallotta company is in fact dealing with Manchester United for Blind. The Dutch defender, class 1990, has already given his ok for the transfer to the Giallorossi. Rome is at work, in these hours, to try to find an agreement with the English club.


 
UNITED EXTEND MATA CONTRACT UNTIL 2019
Manchester United have triggered a clause to extend Juan Mata’s contract by one year, tying the Spaniard to the club until June 2019+1yr option.

Jose Mourinho has spoken of Mata’s importance on multiple occasions during recent weeks and did so again on Monday, in a press conference ahead of the match against Tottenham Hotspur.

After confirming that the club had extended the midfielder’s contract, Mourinho said: “Mata is very important. When I arrived one-and-a-half years ago, [they said], ‘Mata is in trouble, in trouble, in trouble’, and now he's getting an extension of one more year. An important player for me; important player for the club; important player for the other players."

In an exclusive interview with MUTV on Tuesday afternoon, Mata then revealed he is delighted to be staying on and hopes there are “many more years to come”.

“I still feel very happy and very proud to be part of this club," said the Reds' no.8. "I think everyone that belongs to Manchester United should feel privileged, and that’s how I feel.

“I’m happy with everyone at the club and, obviously, with the manager and my team-mates. Once you are part of this club, your football career is not the same; it changes, because this is one of the biggest clubs in football history. Every day I try to tell myself how lucky and how privileged I am, try to take advantage of every single training session, and try to see how important it is
 
After reading Mourinho latest interview. Saying he’s happy now that we have one of the best attacks around and defencive records in Europe. Can’t see us adding another attacker or defender in the Summer. Also said he’s delighted with the younger players developing coming through. Says we need to control games better, especially against our rivals. Looks like he’s going to add serious quality and depth to midfield in the Summer.
 
I just nearly choked on my breakie at 'Mourinho' and 'one of the best attacks around' on the same line.

Don't do that to me at 7:15 in the AM!
