Manchester United Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 2018/2019 [Mod note 31-Aug-18]

I rarely post here especially as it often resembles a playground with some of the name calling and I don't have the will or the time to get involved in that sh1te. But I'm old enough to very clearly remember the early Fergie days and all I can say is there are some very spoiled children around...

Anyway for what it's worth I have a lot of respect for Mourinho and what he has achieved on the pitch over the years. But the man is toxic and I can only see all of this ending in tears. I'm very aware that the club has 'progressed' in terms of league finish last season but it's very difficult to get behind a man who undermines his players in public the way he has. Mourinho has sucked the life out of this great club and every time United lose a game the pressure will increase tenfold. Should Liverpool prove to be City's main challengers I think this will prove too much for most fans.

I honestly hope he proves me wrong and I'll hold my hands up if he does. Maybe it's all much more relaxed at the club that it appears to be. But all the evidence is pointing to a major meltdown over the next few weeks or months.

[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)

Tier 1, Tier 2. Whats that all about then ?

Woodword and the Glaziers are a ****ing stain on our great club, all they care about is business. Finishing in the top 4 is good enough because it generates profits, the extra cash we might get by winning the PL or CL is offset by the cash they would have to invest to make us competitive enough to have a chance of doing it and since there are no guarantees they wont bother . Jose gives them the best chance of finishing in the Top 4 because of his pragmatic style. Id love to wake some morning to hear they have all been killed in a plane crash

Should really be a lol option on boards

Tell us how you really feel

Stone continues

Re signings. United have the money. As I understand it, they don't want to be drawn into paying big transfer and agents fees for players who are no better than the ones they have.

Think Simon stone knows something here

Tier system on Reddit, tier 0 is clubs official, tier 1 is reliable, and so on down to tier indykalia

Maybe I'm just being curmudgeonly, but am I the only that find's it a bit tiresome seeing it copied over to here?

I mean I think most people have an idea of what sources are just making stuff up and which ones occasionally get stuff right. Not to mention the fact that there isn't the same posting format here as Reddit where you'd have to click into a thread to see if it was BS or not, nor is there the same footfall here that's likely to post random news anyway.

Better pinch those pennies Woodward, gonna need them when we finish 5th
