Yes that is so. Maybe we need another rebuild or re organisation. This current set up doesn't tickle my fancy.wiseone wrote:How can DDG's contract be expiring next year? I thought he signed an extension only last season?
Worried about potential for Andrew Smith, Luke Shaw, Martial, and Pereira leaving on a free. All are very talented, and have been under-used or misused.
I want to stand up when a United player receives the ball. This current lot doesn't do it for me.

Re: Manchester United - News, Developments & Season
The coach sets the playing strategy, a lazy coach runs to the transfer market instead of grooming players, we have the resources, Van gaal made our defence tight, think we had the lowest conceeded goals but were not creative enough, he did this with the same set of defenders we have todaybenteke wrote:Yes that is so.

Our wing backs dont attack enough, Valencia used to bomb down the right and whip in some crosses, now he holds his position, Shaw is capable but will draw the ire of Mourinho if he loses the ball, If we attack like we did last saturday out of desperation, we will certainly put less pressure on the defence, has anyone thought about this? if we play defensive formation, our defence will be under immense pressure, with the players we have, we should never play that boring football Mourinho has put us through

Re: Manchester United - News, Developments & Season
Yeah, Rafa's sale was puzzling. Especially when he was "replaced" by the very ordinary Darmian, and we had to convert two attacking wingers (Young and Tony V) into FBs to compensate for the loss of the Twins. Young is an excellent crosser and very dangerous in the final third. However he is not a natural defender and does not have a defender's instincts. He was at fault for both Newcastle goals last weekend. He allowed a Newcastle striker to take 4 touches inside the box before scoring (for the second goal). Then he went and set up the winning goal with a brilliant cross (showing he should be a winger, not a FB).

Re: Manchester United - News, Developments & Season
I always thought Young was good as a winger, his crosses are quite good

I thought Jose and Pogba were beefing.

Re: Manchester United - News, Developments & Season
In Hazard's latest interview he dispels a lot of the rumors about Mourinho being responsible for Chelsea's collapse in 2015.
Re: Manchester United - News, Developments & Season
Man U should just give each opponent a 2 goal head start every game. Utd only get going and start playing well after the opposition scores and when they are losing the game!

I noticed Hazard's interview was not discussed in detail, maybe people couldn't believe what they were reading from Hazard, since the popular narrative is that it was all Jose's fault.
Anyway here is the interview again https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.inde ... 16269.html
Re: Manchester United - News, Developments & Season
Reports say Martial has rejected the latest contract offer, but talks ongoing.
Re: Manchester United - News, Developments & Season
I wouldn't know what exactly is going on in those Martial contract talks.
But what we know is the agent in summer said Martial wants to be somewhere else.
This kind of stuff is what Manchester United's current problems centre around, the club has a couple of unhappy players who would rather be elsewhere.
Even if Martial ends up signing a new contract, it will most likely be the club begging him to stay by offering him ridiculous wages.
It even begs the question, did the kid even want to come to United in the first place when LVG prised him from Monaco, or it was just all about the money.
United had a situation with Di Maria. Good player, but not suited for Old Trafford.
It could be the same with the likes of Martial, Sanchez etc. Things are not working out well

Re: Manchester United - News, Developments & Season
Wiseone, pls stop referring to Herrera as Andrew Smith. He is not English. His name is Ander Herrera and that is it. It is confusing and besides, we don't know his opinion on this as I would be offended if someone not only translates my name to English but start referring to me openly as such - I will politely ask that person that stop. We might as well start looking for the English translation of Romelo Lukaku, Fosu-Mensah, Pereira, Sergio Romero, Rio, Nemanja Matic, David de Gea etc and start addressing them as such. Even Mourinho will become Joseph Whatever. Pls stop sir.wiseone wrote:There could be a mass exodus next year. Of that list I would keep:

Re: Manchester United - News, Developments & Season
Does that change the point? Don't worry I won't address your annoying use of 'Cursed Lily-Livered' among others simply because I somehow eventually understood how challenging it is for you to accept even the most trivial correction.

Re: Manchester United - News, Developments & Season
81 Years ago this week, Man Utd named a player from their academy in their match day squad. Last weekend, for the 3937th consecutive game - they included an academy graduate in their matchday squad. Man Utd have never failed to included a player from their academy in their match squad for 81 years. Incredible.
