The Manchester United Thread

The one saving grace about Matic being suspended is Fernandes most certainly has to start!

This Wolves game is massive for our season, need to win. Make or break.

Ole's call for a striker in his post match presser "I need someone who will break their toe or nose to get a goal" sounded like a slight dig to Martial, I can't really blame him if it was. He doesn't lead the line with any authority and just never seems like a United no.9. He doesn't get a whole lot of service so it\s hard to criticise but he still needs to do more if you ask me.

Will wait for Martial to get a functioning team around him before completely writing him off as our starting STR. He was fantastic when all was for at the start of the seasoon
 
Solskjaer really needs to stop picking Lingard, he's absolutely woeful and mentally something ain't right, with Fernandes here I don't want to see him unless we're playing a team like Tranmere again.

He should be dropped till all his family issues are sorted.
 
Pep's post match interview:

The subject of United's abilities came up when the Manchester City coach volunteered his thoughts on the recent attack on Ed Woodward's home and he quickly segued onto that much-discussed matter of the club's recruitment. "It is about the players and the players of United are really good, believe me, really good," argued Guardiola.

"I said when we lost here [in December], they don't need much. The quality of players up front is incredible. I have the feeling that they are trying to do what the manager Ole wants and I think it works. Maybe they are not consistent in all the games, maybe at home they struggle against the teams that defend deep, but I like the way they play.

"The quality of Victor Lindelof, I saw it at Benfica. Luke Shaw is an incredibly talent player, Harry Maguire, we are talking about one of the best central defenders in the world. The people up front are so fast, Matic and Fred are incredible players. Matic is an outstanding player. So if you give them time, they will come back to what United was for many years."

People must be mad to think the Sun would risk getting involved with anything like this with the police after the whole Hillsborough ***** show

Not to mention the absolute backlash on the club when the truth would eventually come out.

That’s some good wages negotiated right there for a player of his quality


Bruno Fernandes has agreed a four-and-a-half year contract with the option of an extra year. He will earn around £70,000 per-week plus bonuses. #mufc [Guardian]

Makes it all the more frustrating that we have dragged the deal on all month haggling over a few million when nobody would bat an eyelid if he was on double those wages. So in most people's eyes we have saved a **** load of money on that already.

At what cost though? The deal was supposed to be practically done before the first leg. So without the ******* about over a few million, he potentially could have been available for Liverpool and Burnley. Considering our performance against Liverpool, its not unreasonable to think we may have gotten something out of the game with Bruno. Then who knows against Burnley. Thats without the games already played this month that he could have been available for had we got the deal done early as it should have been.

At the end of the day top 4 is a must. Thats where the big money is. So have we done ourselves any favours haggling over a few million when we could potentially lose out on tens of millions by not having him in the team earlier and being closer to the top 4?

Obviously its all guesswork but I can't help but feel we have shot ourself in the foot by dragging it out over what is essentially pennies to us.

Will see come the end of the season. Still think we will get top 4. Chelsea can’t get there targets in. We now have Fernandes and after the break will soon have our 3 key players back.

On signings Simon Stoney just said Utd are working hard to get a fwd in. They have a few targets but time is ticking
 
Hirst from the Times saying we failed to agree a deal with Piatek due to the length of the loan spell. We wanted 18 months and they wanted only 6 with the option to buy.


Now saying we are in talks with Rondons agent for a deal till the end of the season

Rondon...please God no

We can do better than Rondon. He scored like 30 goals in 145 apps...hardly prolific

He got 50 gls/assist in 140 games playing for absolute turf teams. I’m sure we could get a decent return from him for 6 months. His record before coming to the prem was good also. Averaging a goal/ assist every 2 matches. Not bad imo he’s only just turned 30 is a physical beast and great in the air. Rather him than no one. Obviously wouldn’t be my first choice but they aren’t available

Just get him. We all know the potential he has and if the club wants him for 18 months they must be looking at keeping him. As long as its not a compulsory buy then get him for 6 months and re-evaluate at the end of the season. The likes of Rondon and Ighalo are only going to be 6 month deals anyway so why pass up the opportunity to get a good young striker in with the potential to keep? Stupid again.
