Mourinho United thread 2016-17

Yes good 2nd half performance. Now we have a lot of depth after the acquisition of the 3 players. Lets hope we don't get into injury crisis again. 22 players played and both sets of team played very well.

Valencia made 3 assists. He is better and more consistent than Darmian and should start. LvG made the right decision to convert him to a right back because as a winger he was very limited. Could only use his right foot.

Mata played well when he came on and I hope he stays. He will be an invaluable player as backup because I don't think Mourinho will start him.

Paul Pogba spent the final days of his summer holiday partying in Las Vegas before preparing to travel to England to complete his world-record transfer from Juventus to Manchester United.

Having spent time in Miami and Los Angeles this summer, Pobga spent Saturday at the famous Wet Republic pool party at MGM Grand among thousands of other revellers, where superstar DJ Calvin Harris was the headline act.



Pogba was joined by his France and Juventus team-mate Patrice Evra, while his agent, Mino Raiola, worked on the finer details of his £100m transfer. The pair were accompanied by friends and other partygoers at their luxury cabana - boasting its own private plunge pool - which costs upwards of $10,000 per day.

Holy phuq.

Midfield of Fellaini 32,40 Mill. €, Herrera 36,00 Mill. €, Schneiderlin 35,00 Mill. €, Schweinsteiger, Schweinsteiger 9,00 Mill. € and Carrick 27,20 Mill. € and still nothing close to Madrid, Barcelona or Bayern.

140 Mill. €. spent on midfielders over the years. Now we will be spending another 130 Mill. € on a single player. His partner will be one of those above which is kind of sad. I was hoping the other midfielder would have been Schweinsteiger but he is leaving. The best partner for Pogba if he arrives is probably Schneiderlin; defends/tackles, very good passing range and long balls but doesn't do much going forward and has no creativity. He won't need to go forward though because it should be Pogba's job.

Zlatan and Rooney both dropped very deep, also can see them struggling cause lack of pace. Martial was shockingly bad. Depay is even more frustrating than Welbeck. Herrera and Schneiderlin never found the form they had at Athletic/Southampton. Blind is a better CB than Jones. RB spot needs and improvement. Mourinho looks like he already regrets taking the job. Should play 3-1-6 when Pogba signs, before that, maybe we can play two in the goal? Would De Gea stick with us in the Championship next year? Can Mkhitaryan do it on a cold Tuesday night at Stoke? We're fucked :)

Not really fair to include carrick in that list considering you signed him 10 years ago.

I don't know how the game went but it looks like Van Gaal man Utd heir produced a van Gaal man Utd performance and result

What did they expect with Mourinho? Fucking Total Football? It's going to be boring as shit and he's going to make World Cup Champions train with the Reserves for no reason. I think his tactical time might be over. The mantle for that brand of football is now carried by Simeone. Mou might be a little outdated.

We dominated possession and had a decent one half. Now we just need to implement some sort of a philosophy which would act as a lighthouse for the players to lead them through the season.

Its preseason. All that matters is getting fit and work on shape.

This is true so I am not too much worried about that performance. Remember how we were worldclass in LvG's first preseason and beat all the top teams then we lost the first EPL game and it was the worst start of the season for Man U for like 10 years? Players are also more careful to stay fit and avoid getting injured.

I think Rooney and Zlatan link up very well. Overall boring game, I agree.
