The Manchester United Thread

Next season we need to strengthen that RW position and for me Mata just doesn't work there at all anymore. Yes I agree Chong deserves a look in, but signing Odoi would prove to be a good move anyway. They can battle it out? Considering the contract situation he is in I think it would be a missed opportunity if we didn't give it a go. Plus there isn't really many quality alternatives to sign at the moment in that position.

He still has a year left on his contract, come summer, and Bayern is going gung ho at him. No way in **** are we getting him, ****, Chelsea won't even consider any bid that we make. Why are we even bothering discussing Odoi here?

But yeah, we do need RW options. Pulisic would have been good, I was surprised we didn't even try to make a bid, considering his position of AMR, as well as the American business possibilities. Unless Sancho is an option (there were rumours), but from what I know, he plays in the same area that Martial does.

Yeah Sancho would be fantastic but likes to play from the left. Tbh most good wingers seem to these days cutting in Lozano is another on. Chiesa at Fiorentina would be my choice. Not sure Pulisic is gonna light it up here tbh just a hunch. Yeah the Odoi talk is pointless tbh.
 
Sancho ****** **** don't even want to think how much he would cost in this market given the contract he just signed! I wouldn't say Odoi talk is pointless, sure Bayern are favourites in the summer but Chelsea have dealt with us before. When you offer the money they will listen and considering he has some English teammates here and sees how they are getting regular game time who knows? He may even prefer the move here.

You just don't know, it's all hypothetical really, but it's not really that inconceivable.

Tbh most oh his best friends and team mates at international level have moved to Germany.
 
From Villa manager on Axel. There defence has been absolutely torn to shreds week in week out since Tuanzebe has been out injured.

“Axel is still up at Man Utd. He’s had the boot removed now. He will start some light work in his rehabilitation before he comes back down to Aston Villa.

“We’ll be guided by Man Utd in his rehabilitation. The doctor is keeping in touch with them quite regularly.

“We look forward to him being back because he was a big player for us during that really good run.
 
Like what I’m hearing on the contract renewals. Rashford, Pogba, DDG, Martial, Herrera and Mata for 1yr all very good imo
 
Got lucky with the goal, Hazard easy could have had 3-4 in that game... totally out played, even the change he tried gave hazard more space.. lol

Every day must seem like groundhog season there. He’s done a good job no doubt. But if he hungry and ambitious I can see him doing one. He’s never gonna get the backing he wants and he’s at a huge disadvantage as it is in terms of funds. And he ain’t getting any. Will be rinse repeat again next season and the season after. A few injuries and the done for the season. There lucky we had such a **** start or they wouldn’t be were they are now.
 
I've been thinking, I've cried out on this thread over the past couple of years for Poch to United to replace José, and everyone (well, the majority) was very much like "he's won **** all" - I'm just interested, why do you all think he's so ideal now?

I'm not trying to take some arrogant "I told you so" route or anything like that, I'm just genuinely interested, as he's won nothing in the last few months for you to change your minds, and losing tonight means he probably won't this season either.

Not naming names, singling out or anything like that, but you all probably know who you are. Just interested, honestly.

Waiting for Zz to answer ;) I’ve always liked him tbf but he was never my first choice Sarri and Fonsecsa were mine. Neither possible now. Can’t deny Poch is a good coach and plays the way I like to see football played. With a better squad and bigger backing would think he would thrive. IF he can handle the pressure of managing Utd.

There lack of depth is shocking really thinking about it. The players replacing those injured are mid table at best. If our main front 3 was missing. We would have to do with Mata, Lukaku, Sanchez :O
 
When they wanted a new coach, Mourinho was "he won loads, always wanted the job, idolizes fergie, he'll be here for decades" - "but what about Poch?" "pah, won nothing, **** spurs"

Mourinho turns out to be a nightmare - "look what Poch has built at Spurs only spending 300mil" - "but won nothing right?" - "doesnt matter, built a squad, makes players into something, great manager for Man U"

pretty much. If Poch goes to Madrid, it revert to the "well, **** that guy we got ....... " story...
 
I still think Zidane and our French contingent in squad would be very interesting but Pochettino undoubtedly fits a lot of United values that other managers we appointed haven't.

Just for the record I don't ever remember downplaying Pochettino but I know for definite that I always disliked Mourinho. Yeah as a football fan I probably tried my best to make the best out of it when Mourinho was appointed, but I can't stand the guy.

Bit disappointed to see Rashford and Martial not playing tonight, would of caused their RB nightmares.
 
Second assist for Lukaku. For a man who can't pass and has no vision, he seems to create chances....
