The Manchester United Thread

True, be interested to see if Pep keeps them like that with Mendy & Walker playing...
 
This isn't to say Pogba is blameless. But we hamstring ourselves against top sides and sides looking to control the park playing 4-2-3-1.

Indeed. We should be playing 4-3-3. considering we want 2 mids I think the penny is dropping, but in the mean time get herrera in there for gods sake!

I would think we'll stay with the 4141/433/451/4123 thing we have going on, but its Pep so **** knows. I cant see Mendy being asked to sit in the role/mid as Delph has, his pace/crossing is too good to waste down the left, regardless of Sane's improvement in the area.

Alternating the lb or rb sitting in when the attack is built from other side will take exceptional movement, with the pace they shift the ball at the min.

He can play more than one formation. But if you put a two man midfield up against a 3 man of relatively equal ability, 3 man wins.

I can't really agree with that. It's not as simple as, this formation always beats that formation, all else being equal. It depends on the setup, coaching and individual instructions. 3 man midfield isn't magic beans, formations in real games are fluid. If people are drilled well, stay composed on the ball and make good triangles of passing options for the guy on the ball, you're not going to be overrun easily regardless if you play 4-3-3, 4-4-2 or 0-0-10.

Whoever put up the Sanchez dog banner yesterday wants a life ban.

Sky generation footie fans man. SMH @ the cringe.
 
Demi Mitchell had another fantastic performance yesterday for Hearts. Grabbed an assist and was MOTM again according to Hearts fans.
 
Chong has transformed this u23 team today! Great dribbling, passing, skill. He’s creating so much space for the rest of the team dragging Derby players towards him. And his decision making is top draw. Another star in the making. Will defo go on tour in the Summer then hopefully a good loan somewhere. Mensah starts for Palace.

Fantastic by Chong does 2 defenders and wins a peno hacked down in the box. Redmond tucks it away. 1-0 Utd.

Derby really are disgusting, dirty Cnuts at all levels!!

United have signed former Man City u15s midfielder Alfie Hughes. He was involved with the England u15s last year and u16s this year
 
From reports in Spain-


Meanwhile, Mourinho is ready to bring Spanish babe Mario Soriano from Atletico Madrid to Old Trafford when he is 16.

Super Mario is rated as the best player at the club’s academy but they can do nothing about him leaving when the season ends in April.

Soriano would go straight into United’s youth ranks. He would become the best Spanish kid to head to United since Gerard Pique was plucked from Barcelona in 2004.
 
From Mou presser after the game-



"The objective is that now we have more number nines," said Mourinho.
"We have Alexis, Lukaku, Martial, Rashford. Rashford can play on the left and the right, Alexis is exactly the same. All of them apart from Lukaku can play from behind as the second striker that’s why I say that it’s bad for you because you like to have things to write and speculate, especially in the summer."

"But I don’t want attacking players so don’t speak about attacking players that are coming here because nobody is coming here. We have Mata, Lukaku, Rashford, Martial, Alexis, I don’t want attacking players, speculation in the summer you have to go to other areas, attacking players I am really happy.

"We have to improve not in the quality of the players. We have to improve in the dynamic in the team, and in the efficiency because even today it is a game to score more than two."

MUNICH 60 YEARS: OLD TRAFFORD EVENT DETAILS

Manchester United will host a special service at Old Trafford this Tuesday, 6 February, to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Munich Air Disaster.

The ceremony is open to all supporters wishing to attend, as club staff and special guests, including the families of those who were on board the ill-fated flight, pay their respects to the 23 passengers who lost their lives in 1958.

The short service will commence at 2.40pm, with turnstiles at the Lower East Stand open from 1.30pm.

A minute’s silence will be held at 3.04pm, marking the time of the fatal crash in 1958, whilst the ceremony will also include readings from club directors Sir Alex Ferguson, Michael Edelson and Ed Woodward. A rendition of Flowers of Manchester will follow the silence, and there will also be a performance from the Manchester United Foundation Youth Choir as well as music from Elliot Brass.

Supporters are kindly reminded that the usual security checks will be in operation, including the complimentary bag-drop facility outside the East Stand, with large bags not permitted inside the ground.

Once the ceremony starts at 2.40pm, the turnstiles will be closed. However, anybody who arrives after that time will be able to watch a live television feed on a screen outside the stadium, on the forecourt close to the Munich clock.

A limited number of parking spaces will be available in the E2 and N3 car parks, on a first come, first serve basis with access from Sir Matt Busby Way via Wharfside Way only.

CLUB MEDIA COVERAGE

MUTV will broadcast a special live show from 2pm-4pm, covering the service at Old Trafford and featuring footage from the memorial events taking place in Belgrade and Munich. The full day of programmes dedicated to the air disaster will be free to view in the UK and Ireland on Sky channel 418.

The two-hour show will later be made available on demand on MUTV.com, again for free, enabling as many fans as possible around the world to see what happened during the service.

R.I.P :(
