Hopefully it's still too early to be overworked. Bruno should be rested today in my opinion

We need Bruno. Hopefully we can get the job done in the first half and sub him off in the second half.

He's never going to be. Still a very good passer and not scared to give a vertical pass. Wins ball back too

He’s gotta be press resistant to succeed. This is the EPL. David and Bernardo Silva are smaller but they can’t be easily dispossessed.

Please, banter aside, what is so special about Angel Gomes?

I have seen some videos and the few Europa league games he played.

What makes him think he can hold anyone to ransom, or you people just want a secret agent at Chelsea? grin

No attacking midfielder in Chelsea is as good as Angel Gomes. We’ve got Bruno and Pogba, so he’s surplus to requirements.

He will do well at Chelsea.

Banter aside. grin

Lol. The lad is good though. He’s got good vision and is intelligent on the ball. Just needs to be more physical.

I knew his small size would be an impediment, but truth be told Ole didn’t give him adequate opportunity.

Did he ever impress any time he was on the pitch? Also for Lingard and Pereira to be always selected ahead of him shows that the coaching staff knows more than we do, either he's not doing well in training or some shit. Even Chong of all people have been selected more than him.

I think smaller people hold the ball better sef grin

True he has to be more press resistant. For what is worth, Fred is the least dispossessed of all our midfielders bar Matic, at least amongst those that have played a considerable amount of games.

Papers reporting that United won't pay more than 50million pounds for Sancho and their are other alternatives in Feran Torres, Leon Baily and Memphis Depay of which United have a buy back clause... Interesting times ahead.

Rashford has some skills though. Just needs them confidence back

He didn’t really grab his opportunities too. In his last start he impressed in the first 10 minutes and then went to sleep. By second half he was barely moving.

He has played more minutes than Chong this season (I think, not sure) but he’s hardly been more influential.

Fake news. Ed woodward cannot be that naive. We paid 80 million for Maguire and the pandemic didn't really affect the transfer market as much as expected so prices won't drop that drastically. We will pay atleast 90 million pounds for Sancho.

Eph are you sure about this stat? Don’t compare him with Perreira and Lingard or Bruno who play higher up the pitch o.

Matic, Scot and Fred.

Anyhow. Ole should know how to rotate his team. Even Maguire needs a rest.

How did the pandemic affect Maguire’s sale?
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Leyqute(m): 3:25pm On Jun 30, 2020
I’ve only seen Bruno and Pogba pick out a teammate out of a crowd (in the opposition’s half) and give that vertical pass that has the right weight and speed.

We could cause enough damage with that. Intelligent and mobile attackers needed.

Ole kept giving him scattered minutes as a wingforward.

Of what use are cameos here and there mainly in the wrong position.

He is not entirely blameless but the coaching staff have a large share as well.

P.S Your assumption about the coaching staff knowing better is what Chelshit fans had about Salah and KDB when Oscar and Mata were being played ahead of them.

Solskjær on Pogba and Bruno: "They're both creative players who can pick a pass, players with individual qualities. To be a centre-forward in front of these two is a joy."

Lol...clubs are posting losses left right and center and you're saying it didn't affect much..really? Me thinks United is indirectly telling Dortmund they won't be fleeced at all in any transfer dealing and especially considering the present market situation. Chelsea paid 58Mil or their about for Pulisic without Corona, we should do better with corona lol.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 3:34pm On Jun 30, 2020
£50m is enough for SANCHO abegi. Even if there is no Pandemic, £50m is ok to get him.

Maguire ain't just a Defender, he's a Leader.

You got jokes.

80m for an overweight DEFENDER who has probably peaked. But you want to pay 50m for a prolific FORWARD who has true world beater potential?

Corona might bring the fee down but you saying you would have paid 50m without Corona is hilarious.

Yes you can check for yourself. Even though Fred has started more than all of them.

Fair enough.. about the coaches though, they might feel you're not ready at the time or those selected where better for the time being. Take Salah and even KDB for instance under Mou, those in the first eleven were better at the time considering the type of football Mou plays and they couldn't take squad roles so they left, if the manager keep playing youths with potentials but keep losing games, he'll be hammered. Same with Gomes, great potential but maybe he needs to continue some where else.

Did you understand my post at all? I never said the pandemic affected Maguire's sale. What i mean is that, Ed deemed it fit to pay 80 million for Maguire. So pandemic or not, he won't be so naive to think we can get Sancho for as low as 50 million no matter the effect of the pandemic on the transfer market.

Are you seeing the transfer amount being reported for different players? If Barca bought Pjanic for over 60 million Euros then what makes you think coronavirus affected the market that much? Prices will drop but only a little, there will not be a halving or something like that.

I do agree that this may be an attempt by Man Utd to pass a message to Dortmund that we will not pay exorbitant fees though.

SOME of the minutes given to Pereira and Lingard could have gone to him. It’s not like the preferred players were setting the league alight. We were still losing and drawing games until Bruno came along.

He got 19 minutes in the league. LOL

-Go and check Sancho's statistics ( goals and assists) .....
-Age
-Potentials


He's worth more than 50M ....
