Is there anything to be said for another mass?

I think it makes sense as long as no other club is in for him. Lose 15M + a years wages on a player who doesn't want to be there. If a second club came in it could drive the price up but if he's saying he wants Utd and Utd are offering only 40M it makes sense

Theyve not bought a replacement though, and don't look to be. Surely they'd be looking for a replacement backup if they were minded to sell.

He hardly played last year anyway so I'm not sure if it's that big a gamble for him. Anyway I'm on a positivity buzz here. Back to work today after nearly 3 weeks off and now I'm off for another week. Choo Choo

Tottenham signed Alderweireld's replacement last year - Davinson Sanchez.

Pogba ; "gimme an extra 200k a week or I'm off to Barcelona"
United board ; "demonstrate to us what you have done to warrant such a collosal wage increase."
Pogba;".......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................I dyed part of my hair red a couple of times ".

Seems to be a bit of chatter with regards to arsenal going for dembele on season loan with a view to permanent. Would be a handy option for united but the whole pogba ****e is likely to play a factor

I assume that guy was in the meeting with them? Must of been to know what was said.

Lets be realistic before the media start to make something out of nothing, Pogba aint going to be playing Friday night and it wont be due to him refusing to play.

He could of done a courtois and not turn up for training but he has returned.

Edit: I can't stop laughing at he won't play but he will play. Twitter Spoofers are gas these days. (refuse to call them journalists)

In the aftermath of the Bayern game...

Jose Mourinho suggested at least one of Ashley Young, Jesse Lingard, Marouane Fellaini, Paul Pogba and Romelu Lukaku will feature against the Foxes under the lights at Old Trafford.

a.k.a......

Yesterday at Carrington...

It's been an underwhelming transfer window, but getting a new contract sorted with Fellaini was an important piece of business.

Giggsy11 · 08-08-2018 06:58AM

We have just 2 more days to sign players, lot of reports till on Mina too. Hopefully we will sign Toby and one more attacker.

This window has been shambles, started so well with signing Fred and Dalot. We don't have any right wingers and Jose wants ball playing CB as priority and we haven't sign any.

Think Martial will play as right winger. Should have tried Sanchez in preseason games.

I always said we have good enough team to compete, but also feel bit bad for Jose. We should have been more aggressive in the market.

I'm actually starting to feel a bit more optimistic now that most of our WC players are back in training, Pogba especially. No, they'll hardly feature against Leicester and might only get substitute minutes against Brighton, but we'll see.

Ultimately at this stage, it would be ideal to have Pogba and Lukaku back in the 11 and settled for the Spurs game on the 27th.

That said, these returning WC players could be ready sooner than we think. How long does a player who only played highly competitive football 3 weeks ago need to regain fitness?

jayo26 · 08-08-2018 07:43AM

Thankfully spurs were as badly affected by us if not worse, we need to hit the ground running first two games.

Mitch Connor · 08-08-2018 09:19AM

No more player signings but another sponsorship announced. Easy to see where the club prioritises work.

Some will be grateful Spurs seem to have started alienating their manager just as Jose also enters into a tumultuous period :pac:

Pogba situation really a worry and problem now, Can see Mourinho losing the dressing room before xmas. Its obvious they dont get on and is a real **** up starting off a league

Hococop · 08-08-2018 09:31AM

Spurs are in that situation like arsenal to pay for the stadium now?

Has there been anything to suggest they don't get on,anything concrete or just speculation from people who don't have a clue?

Was it the Liverpool game where Pogba went over and hugged Mourinho during his interview, while at that time people were saying they didn't get on.

No more? Who told you that

Lord TSC · 08-08-2018 09:51AM

[Stone] My understanding Paul Pogba has not been asking for more money from @ManUtd on the back of Alexis Sanchez. Club stance remains as it was, no intention of selling. (Tier 1 on r/reddevils)

Sure, it's not as if there are others who is in charge or marketing and clearly Manutd had the option to choose only 1 out of transfers or sponsorship.

But United being a commercial juggernaut is credited to Woodward. So either he is driving it and deserves that credit or he isn't and doesn't.

We've not signed anymore players, but announced two new sponsorships. Maybe we will sign a player in yjr next 31 hours but do far we haven't so the statement of 'no more' signings us accurate of the current state and no a forever statement.

So now he doesn't deserve credit for the area of the club that is actually a complete success. Cool. Wtf is he doing then? Not getting the players the manager wants and not doing the commercials either.

No it's not. It's only a worry if you believe every bit of bull**** on Twitter
