The Manchester United Thread

You say that but they could and should have scored so many more! Shutting up shop after scoring onewhich both Van Gaal and Jose have done leaves you open for the opponents to nick a goal or even two goals(which has been the biggest problem since Ferguson left) and take a point or even points. It's rare for the very top teams to do that once ahead they go for the jugular and constantly press for more thus keeping your opponent on the back foot. Procession football may look nice but without the end product ie goals it is pointless.

Isnt that how Pool, Spurs, Arsenal play but all finished behind us? We didn’t drop points sitting back against relegation fodder. We were not clinical enough up top.
 
Not that it means much but Sky are reporting Boateng to United even more now, serious interest apparently. Why it takes us until a friendly at their place to spark this negotiation is beyond me. It's a panic buy no doubt about it, if it happens.

Then again it could just be a smokescreen like the Morata stories last season ;)

Possibly, but at this point why do we need a smokescreen? Everyone knows Aldeweireld is on the list and wants to come, even if Levy doesn't let it happen. I feel this could be real, sadly.

Sky report a lot of things. Doesn't mean ****. It's also obvious that United making sure they have contingency should Toby A not move

Should they buy no defenders at all then if they can't get Toby A?

Boateng makes 0 sense though Mike, he has been offered around Europe for months now and there is a reason Bayern want rid. He's practically 30 now, injury plagued and a shadow of the player he once was.

If we're going to be silly and waste money like that then quite frankly we may swell just stick with what we've got.

It maybe a smakescreen to make Levy actual think that Toby isn't the be all and end all signing for United. Which may in turn lead to a lower price. Spurs need to sell so a scare may just get things moving and at a much better price for the buyer than what Levy wants.

Or we end up panic buying Boateng for around the same price.. or get no one.. :'(
 
Why has no one signed Pavard? He'd make far more sense, can play CB and FB which would be good going into this season. Go ***** out a load on him or someone like that who would be worth it.

He and the club refused to entertain any offers this summer for him. They don’t need to sell and he wants another year there developing playing week in week out.
 
From the BBC-


It is looking increasingly likely Anthony Martial will remain @ManUtd beyond Thursday. Club not actively looking to sell at this stage. To late in the window, and no reasonable offers.

Also so say that Toby is defo first choice. With Maguire and Boateng as fall back options.

He's considerably better than what we've got. Has had a couple of tough years, but is by no means done. And could he signed for 40. Not first choice but not the worst risk. Would be 3rd on my list.

Thing is we need consistency, bringing him in off his last two years of injuries along with our CB's who have bad injury records themselves isn't assuring that it is fixing anything.

Yeah sounds like what he is from what Stoney is reporting. Good signing but like you wouldn’t be my first choice. Happy we have a back up option if Levy doesn’t give in in the end.

His injury record actually wasn't that bad last season. Just had a look, played more often than I thought. I still want Toby A first choice, but would take him at 40m. Either way. As long as we're not turning to ****** Rojo I'm happy. Great lad but a total bombscare

[h=3]Jerome Boatang on his way to United?[/h]
This one has been one of the biggest talking points of the day, and is really gaining some momentum now.
Jose Mourinho is reportedly in for the Bayern Munich defender, a player he was first linked with last summer.
United are looking to strengthen their defence in this transfer window, and with negotiations for Leicester's Harry Maguire and Spurs player Toby Tony Alderweireld stalling, the Reds have turned their attentions to Boateng.

from bbc

 
30 years old, injury prone, would demand huge wages. In 2 years you'll be in another Ferguson type of situation where half of a squad is aging deadwood on massive wages that needs immidiate clear out.
