United thread 2018/19

[Blueknows]

Agree. They are becoming more and more like Liverpool. Unable and unwilling to accept their demise and handle it. Woodward is shite, that is plain to see. Mourinho is doing a bit of a Mancini where the lack of expenditure has been wheeled out as an excuse and he has thrown the towel in before the season has begun. He will do all he can to fashion a sacking so he gets a pay off, at which point he will throw more daggers at the board. Going for Van Dijk and Godin and just about any name they could think of, last minute, is abysmal planning.

When you look at their squad there is a really good starting 11 in there somewhere but attacking players will not want to play under Mourinho because much like Conte they see the Pep's, Klopp's and Sarri's of this world allowing them to play in the opposition half rather than defend deep and play with shackles.

If they secured Zidane as a manager you just know Martial, Rashford and Pogba would be unleashed. It is fun to watch. I think we should bid for Pogba. Just for a laugh.

What makes me laugh is that the board have backed Moaninho with nearly 450m and yet the rag media and fans have bought into the myth that the board havent backed him and that he didnt get the players he wanted this summer..........wasnt the initial line by the media and all was that Mou had the edge over Pep due to his vast Prem experience and he ALWAYS wins the title in his 2nd season.....the bottom line is that his tactics are outdated , I hope they do stick with him and give him another 500 mill to waste ........how did that song go ....? ........"citys going down with a billion in the bank"

It's clear Pogba wants Mourinho out and maybe he is looking for Zidane to takeover.

Pogba was asked at the World Cup if he was getting along with JM - his reply "for now" didn't get much attention at the time. If you look at what he says and when he says it he quite clearly has it in for JM.

Great!

That is 96 million quid over 4 years........

It's more than that mate.

Sanchez received £15m upfront and the rest of his £30m signing-on fee is spread over the next two years and is made up of two tranches of £7.5m payable July 1.

His basic is £505,000-per-week, thereafter.

Neymar type money.

I don't care who you are, that's head turning money.

Pretty odd timing too from Pogba, given that it was his mistake that ultimately cost United the win on Saturday.

To be fair to Mourinho, Pogba has acted like a prick for months.

He fecked off to Miami last year when he got injured and despite the manager ordering him to do his rehab in Manchester.

They weren't speaking for ages, hence Mourinho telling Raiola to help Pogba find a new club.

United are caught between admitting they made an expensive mistake on signing Pogba and nobody wiling to match their asking price.

It's pretty bad behind the scenes. Some of them want out in January because they bent over backwards to keep Fellaini on £150k a week after tax, yet have dragged out renewal talks for others.

Even Woodward was briefing against his manager the other week when the board were accused of messing up signing Harry Maguire and Alderweireld.

Either Pogba or PEG will be gone by January, no way they are both going to survive his latest outburst, I suspect it’s all contrived to get him the fuck out of old toilet again :-)
