It was a horrible thing, not nice to see happen to anybody, but far worse things have happened to people and they have managed to pull themselves together and get on with their lives.

Sure if they were that bothered with it, couldn't they not just hire some permanent security staff or something. The lad is on 250k a week, surely he could spend 1k or 2k of that of some security.

Didnt Berbatov play CB for us once?

Leeds away in league cup. I think he scores that night too!

I know it's not exactly traditional, but I always think our home kit would look better if we stuck with using black shorts (like when we play Everton away). To be fair, I think this is one of the nicer home jerseys we've had in a while. 2008 was the last one that really looked decent.

I like the white kit, but the shorts look strange.

Glad we've moved away from Nike though.

Was fairly sure him and Carrick were together. God we used to be awfully stuck ha.

I wonder if we'll see squad numbers confirmed tomorow alongside the kit launch. Would go nicely with the new kit to have the names & numbers sorted. Otherwise I imagine people getting Depay "9" or wasting money on incorrect info.

Will be odd not seeing the Nike Swoosh on the jersey's..

Yeah but lump it in with all the other reasons not to stay and you have a tipping point.

But, to be fair, I would imagine it was a deeply unpleasant experience and just because it's not the worst thing that can happen to someone doesn't mean someone can't justifiably feel upset by it for quite some time.

Most people don't have the mobility that Di Maria does so why should he just "get the **** over it"? If he can command a similar salary in a nicer city where his family will feel both safer and happier then it's no problem to him to move. Most people simply haven't got that luxury.

Angel Di Maria has been fined £360,000 for failing to appear in the USA for Manchester United's pre-season tour.

Someone should send him a DVD of Taken.

This can't be real, can it? Made me laugh anyway, and Antonio Valencia just showed a rare display of humour by posting it...

I haven't seen much unhappiness about Pedro speculation, to be honest I haven't seen too much talking about it as much as other players we've been linked with. Maybe with work and that I have missed some pages of people discussing him more.

No doubt would be a great addition to our side, I really want Di Maria thing to be finished up quickly and then I imagine the club will bring someone in. If it is Pedro it would be a great result.

di maria is a class player but he has done nothing to fight for his place looking to piss off lost massive respect for him tbh

We really don't have a great record getting the South American lads to settle!

Who would ye say has been our most successful South American player?

Rafael I suppose

IvySlayer · 31-07-2015 1:46pm

Heinze but for the injuries

Quandary · 31-07-2015 1:46pm

I was thinking Rafael too but Valencia has been played more I'd say. That's about our lot though. I always like Heinze but it didn't really happen for him either.

Alf Veedersane · 31-07-2015 1:49pm

Tevez didn't do badly...

Fellaini played as CB against ManCity away last season. He didn't start but after Smalling red card and Rojo injury, Fellaini played as CB.

Pretty sure Carrick was brought on and played at CB after the Smalling red card and McNair played CB after the Rojo injury. Don't remember seeing Fellaini playing CB in a United shirt.

IvySlayer · 31-07-2015 1:53pm

Heinze
Rojo
Rafael
Fabio

Veron
Klebersen
Anderson

Valencia
Tevez
Forlan

If somebody wants to go then just go, there doesn't even need to be any justifications.

What grates is just this constant referral to the burglary and the apparent emotional distress to excuse his piss poor professional performance. I mean, leave if you want to leave, but until you do at least try to suck it up and do your job.

Of course he can be upset, but to the extent that even now its still affecting every facet of his life and career? Nah. Get over it.

Korat · 31-07-2015 1:54pm

I'm beginning to feel a bit sorry for Ed Woodward. The guy is cursed. Everything he's touched since becoming CE has gone to sh*t in some way. There's plenty of cock ups he can't be responsible for but his bad luck is just bizarre.

I hope his luck changes because he's the Glazer's boy and they won't sack him, so we're stuck with until they sell up I suppose.

Fingers crossed he's got a couple of mega signings in the works and nothing happens to Darmian or Schneiderlin, so far untouched by the curse but it's early days.

Ronaldo and Hummels, you can do it Ed.
