    Who is bigger at Barca, Messi or the new manager Koeman? There is only one of those 2 that will lose every time if push comes to shove lol. The way Barca is run it wouldn't surprise me if Koeman went before he even managed a game..... with Messi hand picking the new manager. I reckon Suarez...

    £25m bid for Badiashile from Monaco

    I know @RichH2016 is going out of his mind at the minute with the lack of transfer activity so here's some to brighten you day up Rich. It appears we have submit a bid for the young CB Badiashile for £25m which has been turned down. Think it said Leverkusen were in for him as well.

    Jadon Sancho

    And it was dreadful at times lol. I'd actually say of the Liverpool team, it only needs one of the front 3 missing and they aren't as effective. Their midfield isn't great either but from what I see they bypass it a a lot and get the ball from the back 4 to the forwards quickly. In what world...

    Jadon Sancho

    So many positions to sort.... I think Shaw isn't good enough but he's a high earner (yet again) and will have to be no.1 LB. He does everything ok, just not great and he certainly needs to get forward better. However he does seem to click with Rashford quite well. Rash form dropped considerably...

    I think you are missing the point. The reason we did so badly last season was exactly what you said, we missed our main players for large parts of the season.

    Top Utd transfer targets?

    Now Chilwell in a £50m deal apparently. They definitely mean business this season. You can see what @RichH2016 is saying, when you see a big club spend like that you wish it was us. If we had that kind of input we'd be right up there.

    Ha at this moment in time, you cant be sure on that. DDG may be moved on, Hendo may be loaned out, you never know. As I said £100k is a sign they want him to stay. And in the grand scheme of things 100k isn't that much in this day and age. I bet Phil Jones is on 50% more that that lol

    Smalling has 2 years left on his contract, I reckon £15m wouldn't be unreasonable. Lingard has 1 year left on his contract so possibly he could go for £8 to £10m. Pereira on the other hand has 3 years left and is only 23 so he could fetch £15 to £18m I think.

    Maurizio Sarri at Juventus 2019/20

    Odd choice, well see in time if it's a correct choice. Sure Poch would have been a better plan but probably 3 x more in wage cost that Pirlo.

    F1 2020

    That was more like it, a much better race to watch. Nice to see a different winner too but Max is the only guy who could do that at the minute I think. He's looking like he could be Hamilton level and will dominate in the right car for years to come.

    Any thoughts on the Citeh v Real game tonight? They are 4/7 favourites to win which is surprising I thought. Could Lyon cause an upset too?

    Just realised we have (if we progress) Wolves or Sevilla in the semi's and would meet Inter in the final. And you just know how that will end o_O: Inter 3 -0 Utd Lukaku Sanchez Young Can you just imagine!!!

    Anthony Martial's future

    He seems to have turned the 'happy corner' with Pogba and looks like he is enjoying his football again at long last. He's still only young but getting more and more lethal as the months go. Ole certainly seems to be a better man manager of him unlike Jose. Funny though, he was linked time and...

    Europa League 19/20: Manchester United vs LASK (Round of 16 2nd leg)

    I'm more on about the starting XI as a whole, not one individual position. He did the right thing resting key players to start with, obviously with the exception of Maguire and looking at the bench there didn't look like another CB available save for Mengi and he has never even played a senior...

    Europa League 19/20: Manchester United vs Copenhagen (QF)

    Yep with a week break before the semi's I would expect the usual XI now to play all 3 games, obviously if progress that far. Interesting dilemma with Romero, i'd be tempted to stick with him. Why should DDG get the glamour end of the competition?

    Daniel James | Match Discussion thread 2019/20

    The big plus for Dan is his speed but i don't even see him exploit that too much and when he does his end product is very poor. I think he has a lot of work to do, I've never seen a player get knocked off the ball so easily at this standard. Maybe he needs to bulk up and work hard on his...

    Juan Mata | Match Discussion thread 2019/20

    2 assists against LASK is not exactly dizzy heights. He also missed a good handful of through balls notably one to Igalho from the right which was awful, even I would have slid it through. He was well off the pace, he can't keep up with an attack or track back. He doesn't even get played in his...

    You get a gut feeling for transfers and none of the above I ever thought were 'on'.

I'm sure he'd love to come Utd but the lure of a Braca...

    Juan Mata | Match Discussion thread 2019/20

    He is one of a list of players who should have gone and in many cases even got a contract extension instead of going. For Mata and the likes of Jones to be given contracts is madness. Jones was right up there with the Sanchez mess. A player who is usually injured, who isn't needed and is crap...

    Jadon Sancho

    We'd be in competition with about 5 or 6 other big clubs at that point, i think it's now or never. There aren't many players we go for and miss out on with this much noise surrounding it, especially in recent history. We'll get him I'm sure.

    Loan Watch 2019/20: Alexis Sanchez at Inter Milan

    I did add that was just as an example as couldn't think of another player quick enough. He'd certainly be a better player in a better team, maybe not right for us though.

    Jadon Sancho

    Not sure on your theory there but i respect what you are saying. If we got hold of a decent RF for £40m (I hear Zaha could be had for that just as an example) and then took Grealish for £65m. That's £5m less than Sancho would cost and are you telling me that we would come 4th with quality...

    It's not like they don't kick a ball for 3 months then get asked to put a shift in at OT for 90 mins! There are professional footballers and should have some degree of being able to play, training surely would be at a high tempo anyway. You gotta take chances at a big club when offered, there is...

    Fred | Match Discussion thread 2019/20

    This could well happen, he looked proper annoyed when he came off (as did Lingard). He didn't click well with Scott and there was a even a collision between them as they were trying to occupy the same space. On the flip side, Ole has shown his ruthlessness and may be looking to ship him out...

    Juan Mata | Match Discussion thread 2019/20

    I'm not interested in the financials particularly but to have this guy just to be an influence in the changing room on £150k plus a week is a little unreasonable. There are players in their prime such as a Bruno type who come in and be a leader on the pitch as well as off it. This is something...

    Europa League 19/20: Manchester United vs LASK (Round of 16 2nd leg)

    That's madness, what the hell would we want to put a stronger XI out for? Most were all in desperate need of rest, there would be a risk of injury unnecessarily and we were 5-0 up lol. Ole did the right thing.

    Fred | Match Discussion thread 2019/20

    Same a Scott, he's gone from holding us together for 3 or 4 months to being poor last night again and I'm not sure where his best position is on the pitch with how we are now, or even if there is any place for him. I'd maybe look to sell him on with a decent resale value and invest in a player...

    Scott McTominay | Match Discussion thread 2019/20

    What is going on with Scott? Superb earlier in the year but looking a shadow of himself. Could be down to lack of playing minutes but I'm not even sure where he fits in now in this team. He's not a cdm, nor really a box to box player and he doesn't quite cut it as a midfield general.

    It will be crushing to miss out on him but I'm not sure paying £110m on one player is good business. There are other players out there much, much cheaper. I know Sancho is the creme dela creme but that money is ridiculous. We could get 3 decent players out of that and bolster a squad that...

    Very odd career choice. Lille then loan to Boavista? Surely Lille can't offer a wage we would be offering and that is a huge step down, surely some top Championship team or a Villa type Prem team would have loaned him from us? Seems like very bad advice from agents.
