Credit where credit is due. I'd like to say congratulations to them for signing the third best Belgian in Lancashire for the highest fee ever paid on a player since they bought their own academy player back last year.

Thanks bluebee. I'd play James behind Lukaku. With a defensive mid brought in, then Pogba is freed to flow forward linking with James and Lukaku with Martial or Rashford left and Mikhytarian Mata rotating right. Hopefully Mourinho wont be so negative second season.

Haven't you noticed?

PEG doesn't rotate.

United supporter here, really looking forward to the new season. I assume both yourselves and possibly Chelsea will battle it out for winners at the business end but hopefully Mourinho can get us in the mix for most of the season.
If we add Perisic and possibly Fabinho and Rodriguez and see the expected improvement from youngsters Martial, Rashford amd Pereira then who knows. Could be very interesting.

What is this expected improvement from Martial you speak about? When signed next Henry, best young player on the planet, transfer fee more than de bruyne, he is going into his third season now and has massively under performed, if he was a city signing would have been slated by now and ripped by the entire media, yet you buy pogba back for a.world record fee nothing said, peg sells Mata now playing for him nothing said, peg sells lukaku now buys him back for massive money nothing said, all the spin is on what a great player lukaku is and how he will turn all your draws into wins

He's a nightmare really, a car crash waiting to happen but hopefully the United job will bring him (at least in his head) the recognition and respect he thinks he deserves but he's been an improvement already, well trophy wise, if not neccessarily in points and he could turn our fortunes around. Youre never 100% with football (we weren't even in Ferguson's best years)but that's the beauty of it. You guys are the favourites these days but Guardiola needs your lot( the scariest attack in the league) to gel and get that consistency happening.

What we need most is a level playing field.

I think he's the saddest thing to happen to united for many, many years - epitomising as he does the ultimate in "win at all costs" thinking.

However, it's naturally heart-warming for City fans to know that you have such a toxic twat in charge.

It's a relief that you didn't get Pochettino!

I agree but that's not easy brought about. It's as if there are two orders of competitiveness going on simultaneously. Firstly the rules of football association competition, eleven a side, no hands, offside etc. then unfortumately the secomd level which are the laws of capital and financial competitiveness,principles of free market, investment and reward etc.
One level of competition, investment capital makes the other, the footy comp. grossly unfair but it's hard to see that changing any day soon. As Thatcher used to say 'there is no alternative':(

An improvement? 2 trophies that no one really cares about, you were in Europa league because you failed for the big boys league, do you think Bayern, Barca or real madrid would be happy with Europa? Biggest club in the world my arse

I was hoping we'd get Pep but it wasn't to be.
. You've got to admire the business acumen and forward planning and ambition of City. So quick off the mark regarding academy, management and womens team promotion too.
You've made United have to up their game all round. Sitting on our laurels for too long under Fergie and didn't see the need to change with the times.

I think Preston was referring to the terrible inequality in decisions our respective teams receive from supposedly unbiased officials, rather than the financial clout we both hold over many of the other Premier League teams.

No doubt about it Champions league qualification and two trophies is certainly an improvement success wise. No arguing with that. Premier league clubs look down on the Europa but that was United's level and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Oh sorry maybe I misunderstood him then.
Do you really think City are treated unfairly by officials?
