The Manchester United Thread

[Tyton]

Anyhow, I've just started a Mourinho FM save with United. My primary goal is to have tallest team in the world. Mctominay-Matic-Fellaini midfield and I'm thinking I'll buy Mandzukic to partner with Lukaku.

Stay tuned on the weekend on how it all turned out.

Lol, adding on to that, Erling Haland, 6'3 I reckon, and quality. And quick.

Looks like Herrera is off. Clear briefing last night to the press. Check out the transfer thread. But I like what I’m reading in regards to ins and outs!

I had a feeling that's why we didn't see him against Wolves, despite the 'injury' line that was apparently the reason. Maybe I'm wrong but still think we should use him until the end like Ramsay with Arsenal.

I think he will play. If he knows his move is done then. He should get his head down now and do his best for us. He did look not right when he got subbed against Watford. I see this Morning O’Connor has been called up to train with the first team.

I like the targets being mentioned. And the idea of having a good British core again. Also very happy with the list of outs well except Bailly but he can’t stay fit, even worse than Jones. Looking forward to see what happens.

His head is probably not quite right, but I agree. And tbh I expect we will. Still a quality player.

MEN and SW saying Mata farther has been in discussion with Barcelona recently. Defo would be a good clear out if we could get rid of Sanchez, Mata, Herrera, Rojo, Bailly, Darmian, Valencia, Wilson, CBJ. Get in some of the players that have been briefed then supplement the rest of the squad with the likes of Gomes, Chong, Garner, Greenwood, Laird. And bring back Tuanzebe and TFM. It’s sounds a lot but we can all admit it’s needed, would save thousands on wages. And most of these don’t feature and when they do are ***** anyway.

Like Ducker and Ogden have said. With cleared wages and income fees from transfers. Plus last seasons low spend and Fellaini money we could easily spend 300m will see I guess.

Bailly...? why

And others go for free or peanatus. Who ever takes Sanchez from you is brain dead or you will be paying big pulk of those wages for them.

Just checked and United have sold players over 50mil only 2 times, first with Ronaldo and then Di Maria.
Edit. Missed Beckham also, so 3

Bailly has turned out to be as bigger crock as Jones on the injury table. Apparently ones of his knees has not been the same since he got injured tackling Hazard under Mourinho last season. Oh for sure we will have to pay most of Sanchez wages. But least he will be gone and some of his wages off the books.

What people’s thoughts on Rice?

When watching West Ham games it is because of him ( a bit of Felipe also). A bit cocky move to change national team, but guy has real tallent and **** he is calm and composed, very good in air also. Started as center back and now has moved up the pitch. Already good holding midfielder and will be only better. I wont be suprised if City will also go after him for Fernandinho replacment.

 

[zzeezzy]

How many of our players do you actually trust now to take us to where we want to be going forward? I can't name many and that's just because they are inconsistent and you never know what you're going to get.

De Gea wants £480k per week wages but can't distribute for **** and can't claim a ball it seems... be brave Dave and you prevent the 2nd goal for Wolves. He was also to blame for the 1st goal as well to a degree, giving Fred a pass in an area he shouldn't receive.

You know things are bad when you can't even trust De Gea anymore, I say that due to his performances this season generally. But mores because I can't see how he fits a team where he has to play out from the back, his distribution is poor when trying to play that way.

Sadly Fred will get the blame for Wednesday, but apart from his error he is miles better there than static Metic. He added some tenacity and industry to our midfield, if players like Lukaku and Lingard could actually finish golden chances then that game could have been over in first half.

This is the problem with our players, a lot of them you just never know what you're going to get. One week Lukaku is scoring a world and then the next week he can't finish easy chances. It's not a one off either, it's a constant cycle with this team.

Rice has lots of potential, but he also has a lot of learning to do. I think that are better CM options out there, but wouldn't be disappointed if we get him.

I just hope that our signs aren't all under 20 players, we need a more balanced squad.

Thanks. Only seen a few matches. Would go with what you said tbh. A good long term Matic replacement.

Tbh even if we do target more younger signings we will still have a good balance. Young, Matic, Smalling, Romero all in there late 20s. Then DDG, Jones, Lindelof, Pogba, Fred, Lingard, Lukaku all in there mid to late 20s. Then Shaw, Martial, Rashford, Dalot, Mctominey all in there early to early to mid 20s. Then whatever new signings which seem to be early 20s. I would be happy with that.
