Jamie Jackson going with a sit on the fence story regarding interest on Sanchez, not much on it but I wonder has he been briefed in some way?

Doubt it.

He is paid to write stories about the Manchester clubs.

Yes but had thought he was one of the closer ones to the club, open to correction on that

Mueller has apparently just extended his Contract at Bayern for another 2 years to 2019. So that should bring his rumours to an end.

The Jackson article on Sanchez is a strange one. He normally doesn't have such little information in his article, and has been spot on recently, he normally is. I wonder has he been told that there is a genuine interest, and is just relaying that information, or if there is nothing to report and his keyboard is getting cobwebs. Hopefully it is the former.

I figured as he was so non committal he was just writing something for lack of anything else. We heard the story a few days ago from Italy.

Indeed. I haven't read this article, but such articles are usually just a reiteration of known stuff completed with a headline that gets clicks. It's all about clicks you know...

Kroos may get one if Schwestaiger goes but I do believe one of those two will leave Bayern this summer.

Mars Bar · 10-06-2014 09:51PM

Mandzukic has said he will definitely be leaving Bayern so Bayern will most certainly not be letting Muller leave!

van Nistelrooy had peaked. The knee injury he got in 04/05 slowed him and the team was moving on from that style of play anyway. Saha was better at the time than Rossi and then Tevez came the season after. We became the best team in Europe. It's impossible to successfully develop each and every one of your players, there are going to be failures through mistakes of coaching or players not getting the time because of the alternatives. Rossi wasn't going to improve the team by going into it in 05/06. Or the season after. Or the season after. So you're looking at 08/09 as the earliest stage that he could have been a first-teamer, or competing for a place if we hadn't bought Berbatov. Of course, this is all presuming that he'd be happy to go out on loan for that length of time and developed well, or as well as he did, then came back and wanted a first-team place with us. Rossi wasn't a mistake. Neither was Pique, while we're here, for much the same reasons.

I think Rossi would have been better for United than Tevez, Saha was always injured, not difficult to find him some gametime. Forlan left and showed he was a superstar when played consistently, Rossi has shown that too though I suppose he has had some bad injuries too. There was definitely a place for him at the time, otherwise Tevez wouldn't have been signed in the first place, Rossi would have been good in both the short term and the long term. Really irked me when he left.

The Star saying United have agreed a 24 mill deal for Miranda.

Probably bs but that's a lot for a 29 year old.

Edit - old article from may so it was bs. Sorry

Who will be 30 in September.

That said he's only played roughly 290 games in his career at senior level so he may well play well into his 30's.

Dont know if there's any legitimacy in this but in regards of the price tag, i'd say we better start getting used to paying a s**t ton of my money for players as we really are desperate at this stage. Miranda still has a good couple of years left in him i say so wouldnt be a bad signing

I'll just say 'Mark Bosnich' and let you join the rest of the dots yourself.

It’s no secret that Inter’s Mateo Kovacic is widely regarded as one of the most talented young players in world football. In light of this Corriere dello Sport brings the news that the Nerazzurri have turned down three substantial offers for their prized asset. Shakhtar were first to move with an offer believed to be in the region of €30 million and more recently both Manchester United and Liverpool have entered the bidding. Inter have remained firm though and have no intention of selling the dynamic Croatian international.

He won the French GT Championship recently, and will be in the Le Mans 24hr this year..... He's apparently gotten a lot better at dealing with corners.

I don't think anyone was blameless, especially Pogba and his agent. But I would agree Fergie has to shoulder some of the blame for the poor way his playing time was handled.

I don't really see how Pogba deserves any blame. He was a young kid who was clearly light years ahead of the competition in the reserves. Ferguson gave him next to no game time so what was he to do? Ferguson even tried Rafael in midfield ahead of Pogba. What was Pogba to do? Trust Ferguson to play him "when he was ready"? Pogba clearly was ready and has shown that for Juventus. I'd put 99% of the blame at Ferguson's door on this one.

He'd have played more if he wasn't acting up and wanting a payoff from Juve. Fergie wanted him to commit to the club and wouldn't pay him off to do so, he wasn't going to help develop a player who had euro signs in his eyes and wouldn't be sticking around.

He hadnt shown this world beating form at United though. He had actually been poor in most of the games he actually got played in.
And remember Fergie actually offered him a contract.

Nani just provided a phenomenal assist against Ireland just there. Some first touch on the youngfella

EDIT: Nani with another assist. Great ball.

EDIT: Nani finished off a brilliant passing move with a backheel goal but it was disallowed for offside,

Scored a disallowed goal as well, haven't seen the whole game but he's been superb from what I have seen.

Wanting a pay off?

He signed for less then what United offered. His agent would be a different story and he will more then likely make Pogba a very wealthy man over his career but may never find a real home also.

Despise his agent, always have, (before he was Pogbas agent) nothing against Pogba at all. He just wanted to play, if he wasn't going to get his chance at United even after Fergie admitted he would have to play him or he would leave then what was he supposed to do?

Fergie had no problem paying Rooney when he bitch slapped the club. He had no problem sanctioning a deal for Bebe, he didnt mind sanctioning the deal to get Pogba to the club in the first place which you can be sure involved a pay off to somebody!

Blind defense of him is ridiculous. He was not infallible as great as he was, even the GOAT has made some mistakes.

kryogen · 11-06-2014 02:00AM

I miss Nani

MagicIRL · 11-06-2014 07:19AM

Any decent form Nani gains at the WC can only be good. We've always said the lad needs a run of games to even be half useful. Oh to have him back would be wonderful. Suck it, Young.

The problem is he made it a self-fulfilling prophecy. He deliberately refrained from giving Pogba games even when it was clear thats what Pogba wanted and also that United were badly short in that area.

Got really excited at the start of the week thinking of Nani and Sanchez on the wings then realised I am probably dreaming

homerjay2005 · 11-06-2014 07:41AM

Nani is a sensational player and one of the best at the club, especially now that Rio and Vidic have moved on.

i made a statement on twitter last year that he was our 3rd best attacking player behind Rooney and RVP and was slated for it.....its sickening to see just how much some United fans hate him and underrate him. i think his absence for the vast majority of last year just shows how important he is to us.

great player and we need him back asap on top form. hopefully Van Gaal will remember that the last time he came to Old Trafford, Nani scored twice and was excellent against his Bayern team.

Mikeyt086 · 11-06-2014 07:52AM

Lets just think about an in-from Nani on the left, Van Persie up front, and Alexis Sanchez out right, with Wayne Rooney doing as he pleases behind them.

Mmm.
