Kagawa10:Cannabis or cocaine?? Failed woefully?? Really, 3 semis........ Ugly football? A team scored 121 goals- the highest in LA liga history that season played ugly football in the UCL?? No owner will give a manager an order to win the UCL when he is taking over a team that haven't passed the round of 16 for 4 consecutive years.... Its like telling a new Arsenal manager to win the UCL The tie vs Barca got him the job,his mission was simple- Make Madrid a force again,especially by dethroning Barca..........Which he did the best way ever done in LA liga history with 100points and 121 goals Since Jose left Madrid,they have never been close to the title... Carlo in one transfer window spent more than Mourinho did in 6 transfer windows.... Jose never bought a 40m player at Madrid That same Madrid have spent billions since José left and they have never being anywhere close to Barca on the log It's really cute making stupid excuses for Carlo,All those excuses are just too silly 3 Likes |

Sir Alex Ferguson has sprung to the defence of under-fire Louis van Gaal and urged fans to be patient during the club's current tribulations. There has been growing unrest among large sections of the support about Van Gaal's handling of the team and the way they play but Ferguson, who still attends almost every match home and away, insists they should not be too quick to judge. "It is dead easy to be critical, you have to be realistic about some things - the number of injuries he has had: Phil Jones has played only seven games this season, Ashley Young, Valencia, Shaw, these are big losses. "It doesn't matter which team you are, if you have players missing of that calibre it has to have an impact on the team. "The other aspect which is always easy to forget there are also five new players in their first season at United, and two are young players in Martial and Memphis and their promise is good. "You have to have some patience being a Manchester United fan and they have shown that over the years; in Matt Busby's time, in my time. "For 150 years of history it is worth having a couple of years on the quiet side of success because they will always come back and come back strong. "You have to give him credit, he's given 9 young players their debut. I think the future is good." [Source: Skysports.com] #MUFC #SirAlex #LVG |

Sir Alex Ferguson has sung the praises of Marcus Rashford, who has scored five goals in eight games since making his debut a few weeks ago. Within those goals were two against Arsenal, in our 3-2 win, and our only goal in the derby day win against Manchester City. Ferguson reckons Rashford is a great example of what separates United from the other clubs. "You have to give him credit, he’s given nine young players their debut. I think the future is good. Rashford is an example of what I think is Manchester United. "They are the one club in England who will always identify a Rashford and give a young kid a chance. There is no better club in England at giving young kids a chance. Rashford is a sensation and one of the best in years." [Source: Skysports] #MUFC #Rashford |

Q&A With Monaco Fans On Anthony Martial 0 BY STRETFORD END ARISING ON SEPTEMBER 6, 2015 SEA VIEW We posed several questions to Monaco fans at asmfoot.fr to gain insight into United’s new signing Anthony Martial. Streford End Arising: Does Martial have the potential to become one of the best players in the world? Michaël: He is all about potential. He is one of the most promising player in the world at this age, known by a lot of scouts for a number of years. I think he can do great things, especially in the Premier League. He is young, can improve and seems to have a good environment around him. Naroud_Monaco: He has a potential, of course. In the 5 Best European Leagues, last year, he was the better striker for his age, with the best stats, etc. They are not amazing, 9 goals, but he is very young. You don’t have a lot of 19-years-old players who can be the best offensive element of a team as Monaco. He is one of the most promising French players… He is young but he has some experience, especially with the national youth teams (~ 50 matches / 25 goals). But, it’s difficult to say now if he could become one of the best players in the world, you know… His potential is interesting. Enough to be follow by a lot of scouts (Juventus, etc). Shaba26: He is young, has big potential and could become one of the best. But he has to work a lot, the Premier League is a good championship for him, in which he can improve his level. In my opinion, and with what I know and seen of him, he is just a very promising player and can become a great player but not one of the best. SEA: What has been his stand out performance for Monaco? kjb972: He did not score in the matches against Arsenal and Juventus in Champions League, but I really liked his performances. SamSam: That’s the problem. He just has a few major moments during a game. Shannou06: None really, he’s always inconsistent. Michaël: He finished last season greatly. He scored a lot of goals during the 10-15 games of the season and showed a lot of progress. SEA: Is the comparison to Thierry Henry an accurate one? Shannou06: No. Mainly because he’s black, French and comes from Monaco, that’s all I can find. Michaël: Yes and no. Like said before, the comparison is easy because of his origins and because he’s from Monaco. Nevertheless, there are not a lot of forwards with such speed, power and technique. Henry and Martial have similar qualities, but the two also have a lot differences. Nevertheless, I can remember Martial’s first games at Monaco, and I thought immediately about Henry and when he started with Monaco in the 90’s when he was 17. At the same age, Henry was not a striker, and we couldn’t guess he’ll become such a great one. Martial can improve in front of the goalkeeper, so who knows. Naroud_Monaco: Hmm… No. I don’t think so. The comparison is because of its origins (he grew up in the same city, etc.), his position and because he played in Monaco… It’s true, Henry was not a striker when he played in Monaco, so maybe Martial can improve his finishing for example, etc. He is young. And, he have speed, power and technique, etc. I would say that Martial has more qualities to the Lyon school (more like a Benzema style or Lacazette, etc). They don’t have heading skills and a real spirit of striker (vista, etc)… But, they are very talented with their feet, with the ball. But, that can be productive… For example, in Lyon, the schema Lacazette/Fekir was amazing last year when they combine together, etc. I think Martial can be great with Rooney, for example. They can combine together with their techniques. Henry was amazing and really complete. He had better heading abilities, finishing, etc. He was more of a real striker. Martial is better when he can combine with another guy in a axial position, I think. Or, when he has space in the left side… SEA: Is he better on the left, right or through the middle? Naroud_Monaco: As I said, he is not a decisive striker for the moment. 1 Like |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by PietroRico(m): 11:57pm On Mar 31, 2016 |
SEA: Is he better on the left, right or through the middle? Naroud_Monaco: As I said, he is not a decisive striker for the moment. He needs space. He is young. I prefer see him in the left side. On the right side, he was very bad. On the left side, he can use his right foot to attack the goal with his speed and skills. In a forward position, I prefer him with another player to combine with the ball. But, in a solo striker position, he is not amazing for the moment… But, left side or forward position but not in the right side. Dark-ASM: His preferred position is through the middle, but he is very good at the left of the attack. For the French U19 team, he played on the left. david86: He is better as second striker with a lot of freedom. Nate: It depends. At Monaco he was probably better as a left winger because he’s not good enough to be the only striker on the field. With Van Persie or Falcao beside him, he would have been great. With Rooney, not sure. SEA: What are his current strengths and weaknesses? Michaël: He is very fast, powerful, and very comfortable with the ball. But he needs greater consistency, even during a game. He can also improve his heading ability (he’s already much better than last year) and in front of the goal keeper. galuchon: He’s very fast, technical and an impact player. A lot of things look easy with him, he is very difficult to stop once he starts running with the ball. But he’s not efficient enough yet, he still misses a lot, he needs to play more simple at times and more with the team… Shaba26: Strengths: He’s fast with the ball, dribbling, good running speed (acceleration) and technical skills (to eliminate an opponent in little space). Weaknesses : Decision making (shoot too late, does not pass the ball at the right moments to his team mates etc). SEA: What type of personality does he have? Naroud_Monaco: Very discreet. There are many temptations in a place like Monaco… But he seems to be a serious young man. Nate: He seems introverted, shy, however mature as he already has a child and a wife. galuchon: He’s very quiet and also well educated, no scandal, follows the club and staff wishes. Looks like a family guy. He already got a kid even though he is young. kjb972: He seems to be lazy, nonchalant and really nice almost innocent, like a teenager. SEA: Are you disappointed to see him leave? Naroud_Monaco: Yes we are because we didn’t have the time to really replace him. That was not planned. But, with 60-80M€, how could we be disappointed…? kjb972: A little bit but Kurzawa was transferred for €30M and if Martial had left for €30M I would still be more disappointed to lose him than Martial. Dark-ASM: Yes I am, but for the price of 50M€ +/- 30M€, it is a very good deal for us. But not for you! SEA: Is there a possibility he could become a big money flop? kjb972: I think so because he only is 19, and has never been consistently good during a whole season and I am afraid that Van Gaal could break his career. But despite all that I think that he is the French offensive player with the greatest potential. A lot more than Giroud, Griezmann, Benzema, Lacazette and Fekir. But I don’t think he is ready to be Manchester United’s striker. Nate: Refer to first question. With a 50M€ +/- 30M€ transfer fee, he has to become one of the best players in the world. If he does not, he will obviously be a “big money flop”. galuchon: Yes, because the fee is too big. So there’s a risk he cannot take the pressure of the Premier League and be part of a big club like Manchester United, especially with Van Gaal as a coach. Even in Monaco which is very quiet he took a long time to adapt, focus and be efficient. I am surprised you agreed to pay such a price for a guy who has everything to prove, even in Ligue 1 because he has never completed a full season yet. 1 Like |

Martial said he is first of all a striker. But I think he is sometimes too quiet in the striking role. Rashford is a better striker. Rashford plays more as a natural striker. He doesn't appear to be forcing it. He will develop his aerial contest of long balls to final third in the next few years. |

And then undid everything with his fôôlishness 7 months later in almost the same way as his first spell at manager.

AdeLaNa1:Real judgement is made from overall quality not just recent results... If that wasn't the case then top clubs should be running after Raineri and Sir Alex would have been fired in his early days at United I guess Klopp is a very bad coach then Or maybe Del Bosque is terrible coach noting his recent WC performance Hazard has been world class for 4 years before this season, I guess he is indeed the worst winger in England then Apart from youth whatever, Jose's second reign at Chelsea was better than any other coach we had in the last 10 years considering the players quality.... A UCL semis and 4 points off the top is shit according to you,then I wonder how you qualify your team's performances in the last 4 years Winning the league from day 1 till the end no be beans,not easy to create new records with every league title you win,everyone of them..... Its super clear Mou isnt our problem, not at all......Nothing has changed Look at our team now and tell me how its not a tactical miracle to suffer just 2 defeats with Matic/fab pivot,Oscar as 10,Costa fighting and injured and a backline that has Iva and Cahill.........And to note that Fab and Costa were off for 6 months with a bench of players like Ramirez,Remy,Cuadrado,Mikel and co.... No modern day coach can manage a club for 3 years with great success.... Barca players that are extremely professional lost motivation under PEP Dortmund players did Under Klopp Jose is the same age as SAF when he won his first EPL,Coaches always improved.... The result might go down a bit for sometime like it happened with SAF but if you are good, you are good... We are talking about the most decorated active Manager..... He owns 90% of all the single season records in all the Countries he managed in..... Abeg.....If I tell you to name coaches you want,you will start listing Poch and Simeone..... Coaches that will give anything to be Jose |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by weedtaker: 10:08am On Apr 01, 2016 |
^^^ I really don't know why you are telling dis folks what they already know, its no rocket science that mourinho is the only manager presently that would guarantee man-utd a league title just in 2yrs time and make us an elite team in Europe. we've got the money and we don't have an emanalo so things no go hard for José Mario dos Santos Felix mourinho. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Nobody: 10:44am On Apr 01, 2016 |
bigkesh:This ur devotion to Mourinho sef...Are u sure u dont ve a secret shrine in ur room where u worship him everyday?? Anyways.....yes probably no current manager has Mourinho's CV in football. But regardless of what he has won everywhere he's gone and regardless of all the records he's set up in every league he's coached in, he has been a failure everytime. He's been sacked at every single one of his jobs. Chelsea(twice. TWICE!!) and Madrid. That alone speaks volumes about the man's character. You say no modern coach can manage for up to 3 yrs with great success?? I guess Simeone just joined Atletico last yr?? Simeone is just unfortunate Atletico is in a league that has Madrid and Barca. If he was in EPL, Atletico would ve challenged and won EPL more times than any of the regular top 4 in the league... Or maybe Del Bosque that guided Spain to the Euros and World Cup trophies in 4 years(2009 - 2012) after he signed for Spain in 2009 while topping the Fifa rankings for majority of that time period....Just so u know, Del Bosque was also part of the 2008 Euro winning team o. Mourinho might no longer be Chelsea's problem. But he's definitely the one who created them. Hiddink is only just doing his best to clean up Mourinho's mess. I rather have a coach like Simeone, Klopp or maybe even Pochetino come and stabilise the club and challenge for titles every season than someone who ll come and win the EPL in his first two seasons and get disgraced out of the club halfway into his 3rd season while leaving the club in a worse shape than when he first took over. I know my opinions dont matter in the long run, but United no need Mourinho..... |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by bigkesh(m): 11:02am On Apr 01, 2016 |
AdeLaNa1:A failure everywhere he has coached? Madrid fans still chant his name Inter fans are dying to have him He is the king in England Has a statue in Porto In all these clubs he never coached more than 3 years,there is a difference between having a poor end and failing... Since their LA liga win,have ATL won anything?? NO....Its easy to motivate players that have won nothing, Simeone's third year he won the LA liga after back to back Europa and the following year they struggled to seal the 3rd place on Week37 and didn't go beyond UCL 1/4final...... Fact is the result isn't the same...... Bosque is a NT coach,Big big difference and even at that my theory still applies to him....... He won 2 trophies and failed to qualify from the group stage at the WC.....Fact is Spain players weren't really motivated despite the fact that its the WC,Spain of 2010 will qualify with 9 points from that group.... Why do you think no team has won the UCL back to back?? The hunger is different |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by lekkie073(m): 11:08am On Apr 01, 2016 |
AdeLaNa1:on the issue of mourinho being sacked as u insinuated, ancelotti was sacked in juve chelsea and madrid....but did that stop a team like bayern munich from appointing him? No. someone talked about a manager having great success in 3yrs and u mentioned simone....what is the great success about simone"s exploits? NB success and great success r two diferent things... saying he would have won EPL more times is hogwash. ...until he does that, it remains a speculation... with the non availability of guardiola, ancelotti, and enrique, nobody does it better than mourinho! not even klopp, simone, etc....some ppl dey even mention pochetino where mourinho is concerned |
