The Manchester United Thread

Thought Matic should have been sent off. But he actually had a really good game. Clearly we need Fred to come good, or sign another deep playmaker, so we can actually make that sub in future.
 
Matic always seems a bit reckless vs. Chelsea though. Always seems to lunge/leave a foot in in situations where he wouldn't usually. Definitely more than a game for him when they're in town.

I'd actually be pretty confident about giving PSG a fright if Pogba wasn't suspended :(
 
Good game last night. Exactly what United needed after that PSG result. Pogba was really good. Rashford making good runs. Even Lukaku and Sanchez didn't look out of place. Would like to see Rom more involved, but hey.

You know it was a good performance all round so I didn't even want to mention that because the sharks would come hunting. I still think in that team yesterday there is two or three spots we could improve for next season, if we do that then I am really excited to see how we do. At the moment you can see that the football identity or the way we're trying to play is correct.

For example In heard a rumour which is 99% BS that Icardi is leaving Inter in the summer, I feel that flexibility of the front 3 we have going would suit him a lot more than some of our players that we have now. (The rumour was Icardi for Lukaku, if they were serious I'd take it all day long, Icardi suits this system a lot better).
 
Icardi doesn’t get involved in build up from what I’ve seen Zz. Another box striker

Whenever I've watched Inter he seems more then just that, but I don't watch them all the time. But I don't want to take anything away from that performance or single anyone out too much because no one played badly. It was great to see a win vs Chelsea, two or three signings in the correct positions and I believe we're going in the right direction next season.

Dunno about Icardi. He's a massive ******* tbh. And if you think Roms hold up play/creating is not good enough, Icardi is a level below for sure. He'll score you a **** lot of goals if you feed him. But then again, so does Lukaku. Its rather pointless imo.

Icardi seems more like a slightly more involved Poacher. Don't get me wrong, he definitely knows where the net is, and based on the recent rumblings (stripped off the captaincy and what not - refused to travel with the squad), I can see him leaving in the summer too. But he relatively gets involved less in the buildup from what I've seen, and prefers to be in and around the box.

Someone like a Dybala is an ideal player, coming in deep, getting involved and going ahead and scoring too. He would be a beast of a transfer - completely unrealistic, but a good one to think of, nonetheless.
 
Icardi link up play is awful tbh. He’s not overly blessed with pace. And like people have said with Rabiot comes with far to much baggage. Nah thanks!!

Dybala as IF right now your talking!
 
If Ramsey’s really going to be on almost half a million per week, maybe the Dybala’s, Pjanic’s and co. are worth cheeky try. Doubt juve can match that wage for all their key players. Bound to upset 1 or 2.

Hey, I thought it was impossible they would get anyone else after Ronaldo's wages, let alone someone at 450k. Clearly they know something noone else does.

Dybala has a contract until 2022 and Pjanic also signed an extension last August until 2023 if I recall.

For Ramsey, I think the signing in bonus might be counted in the salary for the contract period taking it to that 400K amount.

They’re already hawking Dybala around on the quiet. Although the Dybala plus cash for Salah belter from Italy last week tales some beating in base hillarity.

Might want to wait to see how the next 12 play out and whether the CL carrot is there before you start dreaming of names like that mate.

This would rival only one transfer. Eto'o plus cash for Ibrahimovic.

Dybala is a dream but can never see it happening. I feel like just a RW would be ideal in the summer or an IF whatever we like to call it. As an alternative to Lingard and keeping Mata as a central option would be good.

None is more funny than Andre Gomes and Mina for Pogba by Barca last summer.
 
same paper had Isco & James to juve, 2 days before the dybala/salah one... lol.
