The Manchester United Thread

0-1 Utd. Laird makes a good interception as the keeper plays out the ball tobhis FB. Plays a nice one two with Chong. Then Laird picks out a great drilled ball to Puigmal in the box who shows a great first touch and lovely finish.

HT 1-1. Laird and Chong been superb on the right flank. Puigmal running the show in CM and Traore has impressed also. Silly goal to concede on the stroke of HT. Long deep cross from a free kick and Kovar punches one of there players in the head while missing the ball. Then a reading player has an easy finish.

Get in! 1-2 Utd. We been well and truly u set the cosh all this half. Brilliant break and bit of magic from Chong to beat his FB then puts in a nice pass to Traore who scores a great curling effort into the top corner.

Wow! 1-3 Chong destroys the FB cuts inside and whips it right round the keeper in to the far top corner. Absolutely top class!

Helm off for Mejbri who is gonna get another 20 mins at this level :)

1-4 the u18s do the bizz. Mejbri gets the ball and drives through the CM avoiding a couple of challenges then slips it to Hoogewerf who drills it low pass the keeper. Top play by the 16 yr olds!

1-4 FT. Now 1 point off WHU who are top and we play in Jan

Dalot is not very good and TFM is injury prone enigma.

Dont know how you can say either of those tbh. Dalot showed glimpses of quality going forward at both RB and LB and hasn’t hardly played enough to make a judgment like that. And TFM had a serious injury wouldn’t call him injury prone just shot luck.
 
Paul Pogba is scheduled to return to first-team training this week. Solskjaer wants him ready for a Christmas schedule that sees #mufc play three games in six days. [telegraph]

This is his 3rd season. He's only shown how injury prone he is. He's slow and liability when defending.
TFM is just like Phil Jones. You have no idea where to play him because he's not very good at anything except running and being strong. And most of those type of players end up injury prone. And torn cruciate ligaments is a very bad injury hard to recover from.
 
Ole saying will be a team like the last 2 rotated sides in the Europa League. Also said Dalot will feature after a full weeks training.

Not really true on Dalot again. Yes this is is 3rd season but his first one was a right off as he was injured after a bad challenge before we signed him. And he’s definitely not slow. But I agree he needs to improve defensively but he’s only young and still classed as one of the top young FBs in world football the reason Mourinho signed him.

Will have to see how TFM recovers but you still can’t call him injury prone I don’t remember him missing a game at youth level. And only remember 1 minor injury on his 2 loan spells. He needs a position and to be given a run there if that happens or not will see. But Ole rates him highly and has done since he managed him. Still think BTB CM is his best position. He’s definitely not a FB but didn’t disgrace himself there either. Especially played well on loan in the big team matches even Sane said he was his toughest opponent in the prem.

Sure, but bring someone in as a replacement. Or give Garner Matic's minutes.

Deco mate. Wouldn’t mind Garner getting his mind tbh. A signing would be ideal but don’t want us just to sign any old body. If he can’t get one of his targets then give Garner more game time. Then make do with Fred, Mctominay, Pogba, TFM, Garner. Till the Summer.

That midfield is so light. You need more cover than that as I don't believe in TFM and Pererira. Maybe they can prove me wrong, but I would still like a player for challenging Fred/McTom for starting lineup.

I would but you will be struggling for players like that in Jan. Do like the talk of this CM from Lille though been very good the few times I’ve seen him this season
 
If we can get Häland, Olmo, Soumare in Jan that would be fantastic business. Hope for at least 2 of those. That would sort all the major areas off the squad for me. Then Ole can go for his main targets Sancho, Maddison etc in the Summer.

Spoke to a lad today who I have met a few times at Carrington when watching youth games. He knows and lives near Gomes family and knows a couple of the youth coaches. Was saying that hes heard he won’t play for the club again until he signs a new deal and good deal that’s been offered by the club. Apparently his guarantees are holding up the deal.
