He's been good, wonder if it's because it's at a slower pace than PL majority of the time or there is proper leader beside him in Granqvist. Probably a bit of both.

Bit of both I guess. Plus most likely struggled to settle hence not getting a good run of games and chance to build form/confidence. Mourinho did say he expected him to start slow like most defenders he’s bought from Portugal to other leagues.
 
Listening to one of Amoyals pod casts saying we have been in talks with Sandro from Juve. And baldy now saying personal terms agreed. Be a great signing!
 
U18s CM James Garner been told he’s going on tour with the first team to the USA. Confirmed by his farther. Also Greenwood could be going also :)


Just seen that Nico Gonzalez is close to joining Utd. Was going to go to City last season after being Scouted by Dave Harrison. Before we poached him from them. He’s over there now apparently to help finalise the deal. CM also son of Spanish international Juan Fran also was a coach under Pep last season, but no longer is. Will be compensation fee. And Barca have just removed him from there youth squad for next season.

Swedish system. Ala Keane and co at Burnley, hard to look out of place with everyone around tuned the same way.
 
Luke Shaw spent the last two weeks training with Gary Walker, United's head of strength and conditioning, at the Nad Al Sheba Complex in Dubai. Under the advice of Mourinho. Temperatures of up to 45C out there. Due back at Carrington for start of pre-season on Monday #mufc


Also Andreas Pereira did an interview yesterday in Belgium saying that there is no problem with him and Mourinho and he’s not expecting to be sold. And that Mourinho has told him he will get a chance to prove himself this season.

Wouldn't mind Pereira taking Martial's spot if he leaves.. He shows the right attitude at least!

Good thing about Periera he’s obviously very talented but very adaptable to play anywhere in CM or behind the STR. Don’t think Martial is leaving tbh.
 
How many legends can you see....

Two Robson and Hughes (although if Big Norm hadn't had the injuries he would have been up there). I remember watching this lot as a kid.

Story on Robson from last year .....

Ran into him the hotel bar Moscow waiting for a mate to come down who was staying there. (Steve Mono. Lad who stickered Mourinho up with justice stickers that same trip but I digress ..... ) Real sound fella’. Happily sat and had a few bevvies with us. Somethkng he said I never knew shocked me. He was convinced he was signing for us from West Brom. All but done until Albion insisted on£ 1.5 million and L’pool would only go to £ 1.3. And Utd, always big spenders even back then, would.

I mean we didn’t overly need him like but it was real interesting to learn as none of that came out the time. I never knew we were even interested. Heck of a player like. (When fit.). Lost for the sake of £200 grand.

Bet et there’s loads of stories like that of players careers that could have been wholly different.

Also had some boss tales about L’pool and Utd lads regularly out bevying that time through the week but that’s not for a family thread haha.
