The Manchester United Thread

Huddersfield presser-

Jose Mourinho has told #MUTV that Eric Bailly is fit and ready for Saturday's @EmiratesFACup tie with Huddersfield, but Ander Herrera and Marcus Rashford are ruled out. #MUFC


Mourinho on Pogba
The manager said:

“I think you are nice with your words because when you say a lot of speculation you should say a lot of lies because I accept and can speak on Paul’s behalf without any kind of problem.

Paul accepts he has not been playing well but that’s all and if you want to speak about it that’s one thing and speculation your words makes a little bit of sense but the majority of things you can read and listen, don’t be polite, be objective and say lies.”


Mourinho on responding to defeats
Not in the FA Cup, in the FA Cup last match we went really serious, difficult stadium, opponent living a dream to play against Manchester United and trying to be a giant killer.

“We did it very very serious so obviously Huddersfield is a much better team than Yoevil, obviously they have different ambitions, Yeovil wanted to be a giant killer, Huddersfield wants to progress and try to make something beautiful in the cup.

“So we have to be ready and we played Huddersfield very recently, a couple of weeks ago, we know who they are how they try to play, we lost this season in their stadium so we can’t be caught by surprise.”


Mourinho on Pogba's position
“The position is quite ridiculous to speak about it because I think we have I don’t want to be - what’s the opposition of nice - I don’t want to be nasty with other countries punditry industry but we have here a number here the biggest pundit industry because there are hundreds of them with great background and knowledge in football and I would like somebody to tell me which position you think Pogba played in against Newcastle.

“Any one of you want to tell me.

“Okay midfield, but we played with one number six and numbers eights, or two six and one 10, we play with one six and two eights, we play with Matic as a six, Lingard on the right side of Matic and Pogba on the left side, you know which is the Pogba preferred system? 433? “Do you know Pogba’s favourite position in 433?

“Eight on the left, so it’s easy and honest and objective to say Paul didn’t play well against Newcastle but some of the guys are paid millions, don’t let people read things that are not true, you are paid to read the game and explain the game, don’t say bull****.”


Pogba plays tomorrow
Confirmed by Mourinho.
 
Havent watched much of United this season but pulled up Herrera stats and his defensive score was in minuses, i was **** surprised.
Last season he was decent.

Mike that what I am trying to say. Mou utilizes his players badly. I understand managers want to play their own way, but then you get players who fit the system also. Was surprised about the Sanchez singing, yes he is amazing player and talent who can take team on his back. But looking at manager tactics and players, its hard to see the fit.

I dont see the way forward (or plan for future), and for United fans, this should be very worrying.

But hey, we can see amazing fight for top 4 until end of season.
 




U23s: #MUFC v Chelsea - O'Hara; Riley, Olosunde, R. Williams, Borthwick-Jackson; Redmond, Hamilton; Dearnley, Gomes, Chong; Bohui.

Subs: Richardson, Warren, Whelan, Boonen, Buffonge.

3-0 down atm. No surprise though! Make that 4-0. Feel sorry for players like Chong, Gomes, Boonen, Bohui, Buffonge having to play with the likes of Hamilton, Redmond, Olesunde!

Watching Redmond in CM is what I imagine watching Smalling in CM be like!

Final score 4-0 to Chelsea. Chelsea didn't even have to play well because United were so completely tactically inept. United look like a group of individuals who have just been thrown together having never played or trained together before.

From Embargoed part of presser -



Mourinho says Tahith Chong and a few kids has been training with the United-first-team and a youngsters could be named on the bench at Huddersfield. #mufc

Mourinho was asked whether he could promote Chong or playmaker Gomes to the United first-team squad next season, having already clarified he will not make any attacking reinforcements in the summer transfer window.

"It depends what you understand by promotion," Mourinho said. "If, for you, promotion is that they train regularly with us, they are promoted a long time [ago].

Also said central midfield is his top priority in the Summer to replace the players leaving. But more importantly for the balance of the team.

Also stressed there will be absolutely no attacking players signed as he is happy with his options. And players coming through. Wants to concentrate on balance of the team.

Said he wants to keep the squad about the same size maybe smaller to start having more kids on the bench in the future.

Said Bailly is back in the squad for Huddersfield and Herrera and Rashford will be fit for Sevilla.
 
FFS anyone but Hamilton!!!!!! :@

Paul Pogba will miss today's @EmiratesFACup tie at Huddersfield due to illness. U23s midfielder Ethan Hamilton has taken his place in the squad. #MUFC

"I know he will take my place some day and it is my responsibility to help him."


@Carras16 has admitted @McTominay10 is likely to succeed him in the #MUFC squad in the future.

Tuanzebe starts for Villa :) looks like could be at DM. He’s playing RB and having a fantastic game. Highest rated player on whoscored at HT. Sessegnon hasn’t had a sniff in this game so far.

So we go 4-3-3 when Pogba isn't in the squad, that's gotta be teasing XD
 
Prob doing it to say to Pep "See, I stuck a young lad in for the experience. He might not play, but I'm not going to go an option light on the bench", sucking up to GNev and the lads. Lol.

Class play + goal from Lukaku.
 
Break... Stop!
Pass back... Pass back again... Back to keeper... Punt!
Lose possession.

Awesome football from United.
