The Manchester United Thread


90 - David de Gea has kept the most Premier League clean sheets since his debut in August 2011. Only Peter Schmeichel (112) and Van Der Sar (91) have kept more for United. #mufc [Sky]
 
From LFC presser. Scouse will be delighted with this first bit of news :)

Jose Mourinho confirms Marouane Fellaini is back in contention for a start #MUFC's match against #LFC

Mourinho on United's problems: 'Some of the guys with an opinion couldn't resolve their own problems when they were managers.' #mufc

#MUFC boss Mourinho has hit back at some pundits ahead of #LFC game. "Some of the guys with an opinion couldn't resolve their own problems when they were managers," he said. "They're giving opinions like they have solutions for everything, but it is not like that"

Mourinho: “In my mentality every match is the same and i’m not very good on the culture of rivalry being special. I never look to AC Milan as the biggest rival, Atletico as the enemy, to Spurs or Arsenal as the rival. For me it’s just a big match, two historical clubs.” #mufc

Mourinho: “Important points for top four. I don’t feel different, we have three matches now. Liverpool, Sevilla and Brighton. If you ask me which one is the most important, I can’t choose. Liverpool is important because it’s the next one.” #mufc

Mourinho: “The other two means we go to Champions League knockout, the other to Wembley. Of course tomorrow is a big match but i’m not very good on rivalry.” #mufc

Mourinho: “My job is to prepare my players the best I can for every match, then a fan is a fan, we have to face every match with the same mentality. I don’t get that match means 10 points, that match is 3 points. Liverpool is a historical rival in a positive way.” #mufc

Mourinho on the fans: “It helps. At Palace if we’re losing 2-0 and our away fans, we could feel support. With 2-1 we kept feeling more belief. At 2-2 we felt they wanted us to go for it. They can help.” #mufc

Mourinho: “Eric Bailly is fit for a couple of weeks. He is ok. The only one is back is Fellaini.” #mufc

Mourinho on Lukaku: “He is an important guy for me. I love, i trust the character. I told him central defender after the third goal. When i say to a striker to go there and do the job for me, he’s a guy that you can trust. His attitude is phenomenal.” #mufc


The boss suggested in an interview with MUTV that Anthony Martial would not be available, after missing Monday’s 3-2 win at Crystal Palace through injury

Updates from the embargoed section of Jose Mourinho’s press conference will be live at 10.30pm tonight. #mufc

Jose and Klopp were both good in their conferences. None of this **** baiting. Both acknowledging the work of the other
 
I'm not watching the match tomorrow.
I made the choice to go and volunteer in a charity shop for the blind instead.

I've no interest in watching Manchester United sit back and take a pounding for 90 minutes like a bunch of part timers.
 
#internationals: Scott McTominay (Scotland) and Kieran O'Hara (Ireland) have both received their first senior international call-ups. #mufc

There's a joke in there somewhere, if only I had the comedic wit to find it
 
More baffling selection from Sbragia tonight! Yes happy he’s selected O’Connor for his u23 debut but then playing him a fecking LB when Riley is play at RB. Just swap them and play them in there natural fecking positions jeez! And don’t get me started on Redmond and Hamilton in CM again.

Kehinde shifted out LW like Scholes for England. No Buffonge again. Dearnley uptop instead of Bohui. It’s like he’s deliberately trying to **** fans off and have us playing **** football while getting relegated! :(

Expect a battering of Pool tonight. Chong and Gribbin need to have worldies for us to get anything going forward. The back 4 is good if played in there natural positions. Could of even had CBJ at LB and O’Connor at CB....

U23s: Liverpool v #MUFC - O’Hara; Riley (c), R. Williams, Borthwick-Jackson, O’Connor; Redmond, Hamilton; Chong, Gribbin, Kehinde; Dearnley.


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

Good start so far. Pressing them from the front. Gribbin plays through Dearnley for a 1 on 1 keeper saves. Then mins later Chong long range effort deflects just wide. Gribbin pulling the strings. Great save from Ohara from Woodburn effort on the edge of the box. Midfield nowhere to be seen.
 
Just started watching the second half 60 mins in. And have to say so far it’s been a very good debut for Oconner. So composed with great technique and passing. Very good bringing the ball out as well and his defensive game is top notch. Hope he gets more games at this level.

Roshaun Williams having his best game this season showing his quality and talent. Chong and Gribbin looking dangerous going forward. CBJ has defo stalled just looks ok now at this level despite his loan experiences. Could go to a lower prem club in the Summer.

Hamilton and Redmond offering nothing as per usual. Great just as I speak Hamilton gives away a needless free kick on the edge of our box which they score from. 1-0. Good free kick tbf. Stupid challenge! Peno turned down after Chong pulled down in the box mins later. Never seen anyone give the ball away as much as Redmond. No wonder our front players look disinterested and frustrated half the time.

Buffonge on for the injured Hamilton and already has made to good forward passes and shows skill to beat a man.

Great solo goal from Riley at RB beats 3 Pool players then tools it in the bottom corner from about 18yrds. Bohui on for Dearnley 80 mins. Buffonge made a huge difference since coming on!

Great play by Buffonge plays a nice pass to Bohui who gets hacked down by the Pool FB. Gribbin with a great peno 1-2 Utd :) what a turn around. Buffonge the catalyst. 84 mins.

Tyrell Warren on for Kehinde 88 min. Great 1-2 win. Game completely changed when Buffonge came on after they scored. Williams and O’Connor were great at the back with the 5 mins of injury time and Pool throwing balls in the box. Gribbin MOTM for me.

Best we could put out with injuries. Think it’s pretty good tbh need to stop as much service to there front 3 as possible. Delighted Bailly is back. Expected a tight game no matter who started.
