    Alot more too. Martial, Rashford, Herrera, the defence at times too!! So much of the team under performed last year.

    How satisfying would that be? Klopp breaking world records for a defender and goalkeeper a few seasons after insulting United’s spending and united winning the league after a relatively quiet transfer window!!! :D

    United won't win the league with that squad but a bit of passion and energy from the players would go along way to making up for it.

    Matic has joined up with the squad in America.
    At least the game tonight is on at a reasonable time. 10pm instead of 3am.

    Exactly. If Pogba and Sanchez step up it’s a very different prospect.

    Need everyone to step up, not just those 2

    Every preseason I see the same post and I write the same post.

    We watch midweek games at 1:30 AM without missing a single game, this game is 2:30 AM for us and we will still watch the game. :D

    [Simon Stone] Martial stories from guys around Man Utd in LA underline club desire to keep him as talent as yet unfulfilled. He has to start producing consistently though.

    [Sky Sports] Chelsea, Dortmund and Bayern all interested in signing Anthony Martial

    I suppose Dortmund will be throwing in a massive 25m bid?

    This I feel is gonna drag on until the window closes at the end of August, and yes I'm aware it closes before then for England..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,383 ✭✭✭S.M.B.


    If Martial is looking for a move and this isn't a negotiation tactic then I do hope the club are looking at all the options.

    I don’t get the panic for a centre back. We have five of them. Jose has given Rojo a new contract. Bailly and Lindelof have only been at the club a wet week. Smalling and Jones are as good back-ups as you’ll find anywhere.

    It’s actually the last position on the pitch that needs addressing.

    The club shouldn’t have any dealings or contact at all with Levy anyway.

    Bailly joined in June 2016 - in fairness, that's a lot more than just a wet week.

    We may have five centre halves but problem is the manager clearly doesn't trust several of them.
    Rojo's game time last season was significantly reduced.
    The relationship with Bailly seemed to break down when Jose questioned his commitment.

    Could you honestly see City, Chelsea or Liverpool starting the season with Smalling and Jones as first choice CBs?

    I dread to think what will happen if De Gea's form dips.

    Musta been told he has false info or something different anyways, no way would they take that off the amount of clicks it would generate.

    We need decent attacking fullbacks who can deliver a ball into the box and we are still being linked with centre backs.

    Personally I class the need for a CB above a LB. But Christ not enough to want Harry Maguire.

    If we had no interest in signing him before the World Cup, we shouldn't have any interest signing him now.

    For ****s sake, he wins a few headers on set pieces and now we're linked with him. I'll be furious if he's our big defensive signing - I'd rather go with what we have.

    Anywhere apart from MUTV showing the game?

    Reddit;)

    I think Premier sports might have it. Probably Fox sports too.

    It was meant to be posted tonight so as not to break the embargo for the morning papers. Posted early and deleted.

    That’s a bit of a **** up there, like wasn’t just on one part, they did it on Twitter and in their site

    Harry Maguire? Harry fcuking Maguire? Oh christ..

    Now to await Mitch's utter exasperation/blowing of gasket..

    Maguire isn't really needed, club should be going all out for either Sandro or Alderweireld.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,408 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    On one hand, it's an absurd price.

    On the other, it would mean less playing time for Jones.

    Maguire is still better than most of our centre backs apart from bailly imo
