The Manchester United Thread

Get in there. The women have gone back to top of the league. After a 1-2 win away at Charlton goals from Zelem and Sigsworth. Big big win that especially with Spurs losing today. Means we go top with game in hand now.

Who's to say United can't buy now and loan back for a season that way both United and the player benefit. United from getting a top prospect without paying over the odds next season and Sancho from getting more 1st team experience. Isn't that effectively what Liverpool did with Keita?

We have no RW atm so he gets in straight away. My only issue is how much we expect of him considering our lack of other options.

Get the jump on Citys clause as well, the sooner the better.
 
GARY WALKER: #MUFC's head of strength and conditioning @GJWalker81 has left Utd after 11 years as he looks to move onto his next adventure.


Good luck & thanks for all the work you've done Gary
 
Herrera response to speculation:


'It is logical when you have three months of contract and there are stop game selections,' he told El Periodico.

'I already knew something was going to come out. I take it as normal, I focus on playing football in the month and a half that remains.

'The rest is left to my agent, both the possible renewal with United and if not somewhere else.'

'I enjoy being at the biggest club in England, the fans love me, they have treated me phenomenally and my duty is to listen to them, although I honestly do not know what is going to happen.

'What I see myself is trying to win at Watford next week. If things deserve it and if you are an honest and hardworking person, they arrive.'
 
What are we playing at honestly with these ****** contracts ffs? How can Herrera still not know with only a few months left.

Ducker posted a few hours ago an article saying Sanchez's wages have messed up our wage structure and now players are demanding inflated salaries.

I'm starting to believe it... this ****** Director of Football better come soon before it too late.

Sorry it just annoys me mate! Who should be our alternative if for whatever reason we can't get Sancho this summer?

Yeah I understand lol little frustrating. Lozano seems to be the most linked name. Was linked by De Telegraph the other day. Maybe Joao Felix but he’s more a AM. Really like Chiesa from Fiorentina. Will be interesting Summer for sure.

As long as it isn't like last summer, I'm okay with it. We really need to strengthen across multiple areas, while renewing players. Getting DDG and Herrera on new contracts is a priority, Mata, not so much. And gah. Sanchez's wages have screwed the entire structure. Should never have paid that much in wages to him. I mean, City balked at it.

Wont be anything like last seasons window. That was mainly down to a standoff with Ed and Mourinho and Ed not wanting to spend huge on 30 yr olds. While potentially losing top youngsters in the process who Mou didn’t fancy.

Ole has made it clear what type of signings he/club wants and I’m 100% sure Ed will provide the funds.
 
True. Now, however, there seems to be crazy noise about Pogba wanting to leave. I'm hoping it's just rumour mills doing the rounds.
 
Yanno, for a lot of the flights of fancy bouncing around here, most of which are complete non-starters without CL football, which is no given as tight as that battle is (and FWIW I’ll lay everything I have Dortmund, after cashing in on Dembele and Pulisic the last few years, resist any offer from any club this summer for Sancho); every time I watxh the Dutch National side a lad who desperatly wants to return to the PL stands out. Yet madly never gets a memtion in the fantasy rumour game.

Memphis Depay has matured into a fantastic player now fulfilling his top potential. He’s been as key as anyone the last months to the Dutch revival after the atrocious Blind was binned and Koeman brought him back into the squad. A Nations Cup semi. And of the 6 qualifying goals the Dutch scored over the past week, he’s bagged three of them with three assists.

Nice turnaround story of someone having it all too early and not being mature enough to deal with it at Utd who’s now grown up, faced his off-field issues, to be one of the brightest talents out there.

In the Dutch NT he has great numbers. But at his club in France he isn't happy at all. Makes you wonder...

Slow news mate. Yep Pogba and Martial to Madrid. Rashford to Barca. Herrera to Arsenal with Smalling. We will start next season with Ole and Phelan starting at this rate. Maybe McKenna and Carrick to :P
 
Depay is way to one dimensional. Has been, will be. He has a good right peg and that is it. Everything else is average at best.
 
Playing as a striker suits him better, but he still has the same issues he had in PSV and United, he just polished his strengths a bit. He's a good player, thats for sure, just not good enough for top level.
 
Completely different evaluation to the one I’d have on him but there you go.

I’d personally be very happy to have him added into our mix with his versatility to cover 3/4 positions without much of a drop off.
