Pogba and McTominay injury latest
It’s hard to put timescales on long-term injuries because they also need the training before injury free and need to be fitter. Paul’s had his cast off and Scott took his brace off so at least they can now start doing some work on the grass.
 
Another ******* shambles of a window by United, listening to Solskjaer's excuses for those above him in that press conference was ****** both embarrassing and infuriating. But a part of me feels for him because he deserved at least one signing this window.

I hope this gives fans even more of a reason to walk out, protest and do whatever else to get these ****** clowns out.
 
Lowering expectations for the summer transfer window already with Sanchez returning, it's like a new signing!!! Csn't believe Solsjjaer said Sanchez returning will prove us all wrong. He has just shown us and our ambition as our club in plain vision for everyone to see.
 
Antero took Neymar to PSG. Could this mean a change in Man Utd's transfers philosophy ?(if there was ever one).

****** hope we don't go back to that again, after the calamity of the last 7 years signing supposed world-class established players like Di Maria, Falcao, Ibra, Schweinsteiger etc etc.

In fact this Antero guy would suit us..... dodgy racist crook according to many PSG fans who hated him. Racially abused Moura as well apparently but not 100% sure if that\s true.

We should have just signed Rangnick, I have no idea what we are playing at if we go with him.

Sounds a belter fella'.

With him and the ex-S*n journo advising Utd on PR, what could possibly go wrong on that front?

Yeah that was a bit baffling. But they twisted what he said having watched it. He said could prove us wrong. Still expect him gone in the summer.
 
Antero Henrique might have been hit and miss at PSG but could be a success at United like he was at Porto in his native Portugal. His work at Porto was very impressive according to reports and he was at the club for 26 years working various roles until he was made the Sporting Director. He also oversaw the work that made Porto European Champions in 2004 along with Mourinho. He is also someone with a vast network of contacts around the world according to reports and was described by Nasser El Khelafi as among the finest Sporting directors in the game when he was appointed at PSG. Below are a couple of articles written by PSG correspondents before he was given the PSG role.

Antero Henrique: Portrait of a self-made man - Paris United

Pepe, Hulk, Falcao, James… All of them bought at « reasonable » prices were all sold at very high prices. Only one thing in common: Antero Henrique. True jack of the trade when it comes to finding gems, the Portuguese joined PSG on the 2nd of June 2017. One goal: reviving the club’s sporting...

Henrique's extensive global scouting network at Porto enabled him to unearth gems such as Radamel Falcao, James Rodriguez, Hulk and Jackson Martinez and he is widely recognised as the man behind Porto's impressive structure during their strongest period in recent history.

Don't know if it's still possible to do it when Real Madrid are buying 17 years old brazilians who barely made It to the First team for 30 million. The market has change dramatically, and it looks to me like Benfica and Porto are struggling to adapt.

Nevertheless, Porto was a remarkable work indeed.

Hold up, why do you class zlatan in the same category tho? The dude's goals won us a couple of trophies
 
Woodward's reactionary, scattergun approach to recruitment is mad but he's got NOTHING on Barcelona's transfer policy. Which now includes signing players to use as bait to get other players.

Wild approach.
 
Should have been done in the summer, as you were then. Hope the walk out and scrutiny still continues on Saturday at OT.

This signing has only been done out of necessity, we have like 1 midfielder with Matic picking up an injury. Don't be fooled by these clowns.
