Reports have it that Ashley young is about to sign a one year extension. I don't really get the point of it, he's old and not as effective anymore. We should be looking at long term replacements.
is dalot a short term replacement?

“Even though we have different players, Marcus and Anthony are not very different to Cristiano and Wayne. Jesse with his pace and Ji-Sung, there are so many similarities, and we should never forget those games [won on counter-attacks] because they are part of our history.”

"I know the culture and identity of the club and the playing style. Manchester United, of course, suits me a lot more than a club that struggles towards the bottom of the table. I wasn’t ready for that fight. I didn’t say I wasn’t ready for the Premier League. That's different.

"My belief is to trust players and to trust them to play the right way. To try to dominate teams, to try to win games the right way. To play the way that we do now with Manchester United. I should have flipped that mentality into a different one at a team that struggles against relegation if you know what I mean."

"It is easier here because I know what the DNA and identity of Manchester United is and what a Manchester United player is. But what exactly is that identity?

"It’s a winning identity. It’s a confident identity. We want to take risks. We want to go for the second, the third and the fourth goal because that’s just how we do things at Manchester United. If you can’t handle that then you are at the wrong club.”

“That was one of the mistakes I made at Cardiff [overhaul change of back. I wanted to go into my way straight away. So, Mick, me and Demps have come in and we didn’t want to change too much too early because with change there is always a danger that you do too much.

"Kieran and Michael are great. They were here from before, so they and Emilio were important for us because they knew what they had been doing.

“I know that we all have different strengths and qualities. With Kieran and Michael, they need to be able to give their best and they are fantastic coaches, I have to say. The analysis staff too. Everything is in place for the club to be successful so that’s been brilliant for me.

"I know I can trust them."

"Whether it is back home with my daughter’s team or it's this, I just love working with footballers who want to improve. I love speaking to them and giving them my help and my thoughts. That's what coaching is about. It’s about improving players. It’s not about anything but that really.

“I love the one-on-ones but it’s not just me. It's Kieran, it's Michael, it's Mark, it's Mick, it's Emilio. We are a big staff. Of course, I make the decisions but I give them the confidence and the responsibility. We have different players who we speak to.

"There is not a lot that I can tell David de Gea about goalkeeping that he does not know."

"You have to find a way to win a game. That’s not up to me or Mick or Kieran or Michael to tell them beforehand.

"Every game is different. We might score the first goal and it's a different game. They might score the first goal and it's a different game. So they have got to make decisions out there based on their experiences and qualities."

"Me and Mick came in and of course we wanted to bring a confidence into the players that we trust them because we do. They are here because they are special. Manchester United never sign players if they don't have any uniqueness or X factor about them. We should never forget what badge they are wearing because they are special.

"So we speak to them and encourage them individually but giving players confidence by speaking to them is one thing. They need to feel this is working. They have done it by themselves. They scored the goals against Cardiff and enjoyed it. That gave them a big boost, of course.”

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 6:37am On Feb 07, 2019
"Goals are scored by counter-attacks, set plays and breaking teams down when they drop deep, so you need to have all those three aspects.

"The way we play with pace and power, we should never forget our history of counter-attacking, even though we are one of the teams that want to dominate games.


"If teams drop deep we need to have a way of playing against those teams but also when we defend we defend to win the ball to counter-attack quickly.

"To win games you need to pass it forward and run forward."

"You have got to have different ways of winning games and with our squad you can pick players who suit this team and that team.

“I knew the gaffer was like that. I have always been like this myself back home in Molde. It was different at Cardiff because you had to take one game at a time and try to claw a point here or there.

"But now you do plan ahead and I think I have got my team quite ready for the full month. Depending on form as well, I think I have more or less picked my team.”

We have seen enough of this side of his personality. Lol

So what does Solskjaer make of the prospect of United moving into the top four with a win at Fulham live on Sky Sports tomorrow lunchtime?

"You take one step at a time, and that’s one of the goals we have set – moving into the top four.

"If we do so, we want to stay there and improve on that. It’s been fantastic the last two months, so consistency is now the key word. We need to keep on improving and winning games, but in a better way than, say, the Leicester one.

"I felt we hung on. It was good enough, but we shouldn’t just be happy with good enough. We want to improve. Fulham is a ‘character revealer’.

"It reveals ‘do we have the focus on what’s important?’ It’s always the next game in football. Can we forget about PSG?"

Olé GS seems to be reading things correctly. The win at Leicester was good but the manner in which it was won wasn’t satisfactory.

We’ll probably see Fred and/or Pereira start tomorrow. Dalot, Alexis or Darmian too.

Seriously. His heritage is the only thing going for him. He’s no different from a Marcos Rojo.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by eph12(m): 10:46am On Feb 08, 2019
It's obvious that Jones and Smalling are going nowhere because they are English. I don't have a problem with that, just that the club may not want to get another CB since we have 4 players that could play that position, not including Rojo.

What were you expecting? I knew he would definitely get new deal. You know the club has to keep a certain quota of English players. But I am sure Jones is never gon be a regular stater tho.
