The Manchester United Thread

Brighton presser:

Jose reveals @RomeluLukaku9 will miss tomorrow's clash with Brighton, but has a good chance of being fit for the #EmiratesFACup final. #MUFC

Mourinho: “Blind and Darmian? They’re part of my plans in this moment. If a player wants to go and the right offers arrive in the club, we study that, we try to have the players happy, if happiness means for them to leave, let’s see, but they’re in my plans for now.” #mufc

Mourinho on Bailly: "There's no situation. It's fine, no injury. Also no important matches for now. He’s one of our five central defenders but he's the only central defender whose country who is not in the World Cup.” #mufc

Mourinho on Fellaini: “I’m still positive, he’s a player I like, he has a different position in relation to other players with contract. In his case destiny in his hands and he’ll decide what makes him happy. He knows we want him to stay, he has an offer, it’s up to him.” #mufc

Mourinho more on Bailly: “If i have to make a more emotional effective choice to help my players, he’s the one i’m not going to help until the end of the season. Rojo, Lindelof, Jones, Smalling, all of them are wishing to make the squad for the World Cup, Eric is not under that pressure.” #mufc

Mourinho on De Gea winning #MUFCPOTY: “That’s good, it’s not surprising, Messi, Ronaldo don’t give many chances, it’s surprising in the big international award there’s no goalkeepers on them, David is having a very good seasons in the club. I don’t see it as a problem.” #mufc
 
Such a bullshit explanation with Bailly. Acting like it's all to help Smalling/Jones etc. with their bid to play for their country in the World Cup while Martial and even Rasfhord benchwarms Sanchez (Chile didn't qualify either).

Could be bullshit. Also said there’s no important games atm. Rashford is a cert anyway. Don’t think Deschamps is keen on Martial from what a lot of French people have said on Reddit and Redcafe in the past. Personally think he’s nearly missed most the season with injury and doesn’t want to risk any reacurrences. Expect him to play in the Watford game and start the final.

Yeah I don't mind Bailly sitting out the rest of the season. I want him fully fit for pre-season and next season!
 
From Embargoed presser:

"There is not one player that I want to sell."

Jose Mourinho wants to keep his #MUFC squad together this summer.

Jose Mourinho says assistant Rui Faria would be a good fit for @Arsenal and: “I met him when he was a kid at university. If my friend one day has possibility of a big job, I would help him pack, carry the bags + wish him luck. If one day the moment arrives I would be very happy.”

Jose Mourinho says he fully trusts Rashford and Martial and has confidence in both to step up in Lukaku absence.

Jose Mourinho says Fellaini has better offer on the table than 8 months ago. He knows we want him but it’s now up to him. If he leaves so be it.

Also reiterates that there will be NO change in attacking personnel this Summer. I am happy with the players I gave there.
 
UNDER 18's: Man Utd v Chelsea WILL BE ON YOUTUBE FOR FREE on Saturday at 12:00.


Angel Gomes & Tahith Chong will both be involved even though they have been promoted to the U23 side
 
I have a feeling we will see Martial in Lukakus position tonight. Let's hope he shows Mou he wants to be a United player next season! (If he plays)
 
Alexis Sanchez not playing for United tonight. Hasn’t travelled to Brighton. Mata, Rashford, Martial all start according to various outlets

No width on the left coz martial/rashford keeps coming too far inside and rashford/martial not going out wide when the other comes in. Young is on his own.

Wtf was Rashford doing he had the easiest square ball to Martial for a clean shot on goal.

Rashford, Martial, Pogba all been absolutely dog **** so far! No wonder Mourinho looks ******. Can see a couple getting dragged around HT.

Martial AND Rashford on at the same time.. I don't think my brain can handle this.. :'(
 
I'd put Lingard on for Martial, maybe not at HT but sooner rather than later

The setup doesn't help them anyway. When martial is collecting the ball at the half way line so many times, there's obviously something wrong with the setup. I would take fellaini and matic off before martial and rashford anyway, been literal ****. Fellaini, all he knows is to pass it to the opposition, how is mourinho begging him to stay? Matic is so ******* slow in the buildup that he allows the opposition to regain control, just pass it faster, instead of taking 10 touches. Anyway, fielding a backline of smalling, young and darmian is criminal in itself. If all your defenders only know how to hoof it up the pitch, how do you expect to get up the pitch? Plus, they can't even defend, how many times has young been out of position? Does darmian even know how to attack? Pogba, only one that knows how to carry the ball and make runs from our midfield, but his passing been abysmal this match. Rashford opportunity was disgraceful, he's so braindead at times.

How is Martial coming deep and off the wing anything but a Martial problem. Matic problem is that his two partners are leaving him exposed all the time and his attacking players are standing there like statues. Tonight’s just proving how important Lukaku is to us.

Lukaku and Alexis missed big time
 
Well that was *****. This team so weak mentally. We have lost to all 3 promoted sides this season and 1 that’s gonna get relegated. Really missed Tony V, Lukaku, Sanchez, Jones, Bailly tonight. The rest except Lingard and Matic can’t seem to be arsed half the time. If that’s what Jose is seeing from Martial in training then goodbye! Pogba another game that’s summed up god time here. Was better in the second half, but shouldn’t have to take us going a goal down for him to get his **** in gear. Can see why Darmian is going terrible FB in all aspects. Least Shaw was good when he came on. Will still finish second but will likely not see any youngsters now as we still need 4 points. And still confident we will turn up for the final.
