United scouts are at the Molde game watching Alf Inge Haland's son, he's a 17 year old striker. They have him on their radar for a while.

Glad Alfie was keeping busy while he was on his "break" 17 years ago

Daily Star: "Bayern are targeting a move for Martial".

Martial needs to stay a season and fight for that place from sanchez. If he's the footballer we all believe he is himself and sanchez fighting each other for that spot would be brilliant.

If not sell him off for 70 odd million.
Been discussed here a plenty about how good the guy can/will be.
Stay a season and show us and get your spot in the team back.
Every united fan is rooting for ya to do it

This is the type of player I'd be more disappointed if they were at the club next season.

Decent insight into Fred, Gilberto was on TV for the WC somewhere last night and was talking about him.. very long to quote so will just post the link

He asked United to provide a teacher instead of a Translator which bodes well in itself, good mentality showing already

Happy Monday you bunch, hope all you girls and boys are doing well.

So i see the Bonucci links are getting mentioned a bit in the press with Milan under FFP problems. Got me thinking have we ever had an Italian international at the club??? I know we've had Giuliano Mariana, Massimo Taibi, Giuseppe Rossi and Federico Macheda but don't think anyone of them full blown internationals at any time during their United days...

Have i missed anyone??

Lord TeSCo out in 'Merica.. were you part of Rooneys welcoming party in DC...

To be fair, no one will hold it against you for missing Darmien. If it wasnt for the milan reports, i'd forget we had him as well

You possibly did as he is linked with Juve

pjohnson · 02-07-2018 09:15AM

I think that sums up Darmian really, his time here could mostly be described as "forgotten". So many of his appearances were just a 5 or 6 outta 10. He never really made a huge error but he never really put in a MOTM performance or did something amazing either. So many times I'd tune in late to watch a game and I'd figure out 10/11 of the starting team and it'd nearly always be Darmian who was the eleventh and I'd only realise after about 20mins watching.

A certain red top is claiming that Adrien Rabiot's agent has met with representatives from United, Juventus and City.

Just seen from 11 shots faced in the World cup De Gea let in 10 that is mental ,
I know a lot where peno's but still for him that's very very poor,

Whereas Courtois only conceded 2 goals. I think Madrid should bid for Courtois instead.

Tbh some keepers are just better at Penalty saves than others. Take Mignolet for instance, he has a pretty decent record at Penalties, miles better than DeGea, but he is so far behind DeGea as a keeper it’s unreal..

That is very true , the most surprising thing for me was De Gea's passing it was absolutely woeful in all matched, Is it that bad for United and no one notices due to the world class save after world class save ?

FourFourRED · 02-07-2018 10:47AM

Wouldn’t be too worried about Spanish Dave & penalties. Last season we only conceded two.

His long distribution is very good, can pin point a pass from 40/50 yards easily, he wouldn’t be woeful playing out but it depends on the defence too and the pressing or tactical awareness of the opposition, when the opposition is not pressing or not cutting off the spaces he is grand and it’s not really noticed as he can be a yard or 2 off with the pass and you or I wouldn’t be any wiser as the defender can take the ball easily, when the press or lanes are cut off that tiny margin for error is more noticeable..

He lets himself down when he is under pressure with the ball at his feet too.. but that also depends on the defenders getting into a position that he can comfortably make a pass to them..

Trigger · 02-07-2018 10:50AM

In saying all that now, I still wouldn’t swap him for any keeper in the world at the moment.. he’s unreal!

Also look what LVG did for Holland hooking Cillessen for Krul seconds before the shootout and Krul saved 2 (3?) penalties.

Found out something interesting with DDG (well for me).

Total record is 44 penalties 11 saves (not taking shoot-outs)

6 of those 11 saves came during his time at Atletico (2009 to 2011).
While at Atletico he had a record of 6 saves from 15 penalties. (40%)

So since joining us he has 5 saves in 29 attempts. (17%)

Penalties involve a perfect mixture of luck and timing but it's interesting how different the stats are to me. While at Atletico it was similar to the main penalty stoppers in the PL like Almunia, Foster, Mignolet
