The Manchester United Thread

Thought Lindelöf was fantastic tonight. Dealt with all the long balls and throws. And was key at bringing the ball out and starting attacks. Could oh had a couple if he was played in when making 2 great runs in the box from deep.

Think Lindelöf is a real class defender in the making, I know he had a slow start but I really thought he was great as well today.
 
Loved Ole after match presser (6)

OGS on fans' reaction: "It makes you proud. It is emotional. I am happy for them. It is a long ride up to Manchester and at least they can talk about the boys."


OGS: "Man Utd haven't scored five goals since Mick Phelan's last game."


OGS: "A @ManUtd team should never be outworked."


That last quote :)

Still a mountain to climb before you get to 4th.

"A Man Utd team should never be outworked".... spot on and we've let that slip way too far. If Ole can instils these United values and gets everyone enjoying their football, even if the results aren't always good, I'm happy with that.
 
Watching Serie A highlights. Milenkovic was fantastic again today for Fiorentina. Still being linked by Di Marzio.

CB but he playing RB as Fiorentina are good in the CB area. And they don’t want to leave him out as he’s to good a talent.

Get rid of Jones, Rojo, Darmian, Valencia. That will leave Bailly, Lindelof, Smalling, Tuanzebe, Milenkovic for CBS. FB- Shaw, Dalot, Young. Think TFM will end up in CM/DM. And Demi Mitchell will get a shot next season. CBJ will be sold too.

Rooney's comments yesterday were pretty damning for Mourinho, considering he was part of the dressing room under him as well. He was on BT Sport covering the game yesterday for people who didn't know. He said how Mourinho didn't talk with the players and justify why he left them out. There was no connection in the dressing room and the players were not enjoying themselves under him.

to me that just puts to bed any idea that Mourinho was someone just a victim in all this. He brought virtually all of it on himself and for Rooney to say it, I never expected it from him because I thought he got on with Mourinho. Obviously not.
 




16 year old Noam Emeran who will join United in January scored a hat trick for Amiens U19s yesterday

You missed the best quote of them all;

"I don't think any team would like to have Rashford, Martial, Lingard and Pogba running at them. So why should we stop them? The attacking philosophy is in the walls of Man United, that's tradition and that's history. That’s how we play and how we want to play.”

That's my manager(H)

Merry Christmas!!

He's definitely getting the youngsters use to being in the first team squad, I doubt we will see them starting but come the end of the season several of them will have made the break through that's for certain.

Tbf Mourinho has youngsters travel with the squad also. But obviously more chance of breaking through under Ole. Dont expect mass breakthrough maybe 2/3 max then the rest of the rated ones to see how they do on loan.
 
At this rate, how close is Pogba gonna get to Yaya Toure's legendary, record season? Could get within 5 or 10 G+A.... or who knows.

Yeh what a virus! Hope he keeps it up though.

happy with that today, we played the right way and there was some flaws that were exposed which is good because we won anyway. I think our players are not used to this pressing and style of football, after about 55-60 mins our players fitness seems very questionable. Should improve over time though and I thought ole's subs were very timely.

I've always said that if we try to win the right way and lose trying then I'm fine with that, Ole is implementing a style and we can see more from this team in that regard than Mourinho in 2 and a half years.
 
Great to see Gomes :) the pressing was there again today but not as much as the Cardiff match. Had to many moments sitting off and giving Huddersfield chances to get on the ball and get it forward. Pogba was class again! Rashford always a danger with Mata and Lingard movement.

Lindelof again was very good. Jones didn’t injure himself and was solid. Dalot and Fred were ok but clearly not up to speed yet. Overall good performance all round.
