The Manchester United Thread

CM is an interesting one. Looks like Pogba will stay and either see how things go or run down his contract. Varane signing will me no more McFred and hopefully more time for DVB.

It looks like Matic and Pereira are gonna leave. And we are gonna buy a CM even if Pogba stays.

So we could be going into the season with Pogba, DVB, Fred, Mctominey, Fernandes can play there. Garner potentially. And whoever we sign.

Just wondering being realistic who would be your guys preferred choice of CM. Mine would be Neves or Ninguez.?

If anyone wants a player with zero pace and little range, Neves would be the bargain he's constantly being touted at ......

It always amuses the living P out of me when he comes up and moronic pundits, and even stupider fans, jump screaming L'pool should be all over him. When his skillset is the very last thing you want in a Klopp midfield.

He falls into that category of overhyped or super ***** when the fact is he’s a good player who career had gone stale at Wolves. Would be perfect for what we are missing IMO.

I agree, he looks slightly above average eerytime I've watched him at wolves (or maybe I'm not watching his best games). He only gets the hype due to his occasional bangers from outside the box. That combined with his decent passing and you've got yourself a top class DM! He's Declan rice with less pace and better shooting.

Lazy. I’m sure he’s always in the top 10 CMs of distance covered over a season. I don’t think Pogba is lazy either just inconsistent!

This is a stat i would love to see backed up :D
First thing i found when trying to look was this. Seems from end of 2019 season. 16th distance covered. But atleast 1st at something :giggle:
Mind you this was the season when he was showing class, with 13 goals and 10 assists.

Is that stat showing that he's lazy or not?

And I wonder, he's 16/79 in terms of distance covered, in a possession dominant team while being teams main creator ( and they usually do not run a lot) Is that a bad thing?
I would like to see top 10 on that list, but can't find one. All I can find is that guy on twitter named Arsene's son tweeted that and media outlets published it as a story ( your usual Mirror, Daily mail, the s*n)

Also, another Twitter stat I can't back up.
