parrotibaba: Mou has an answer to your begging question. ”Let me start with one point. 34 is Zlatan's age and 18 is Marcus Rashford’s age,” “34 plus 18 divided by two is the perfect age for a football player. "So our two strikers, they are exactly in the perfect age because 18 is not the perfect age and 34 is not "So I think they can be an amazing complement for each other with their qualities." |

raumdeuter: We've been through this before. England NT is useless but their players dont constitute the bulk of total EPL players. Some EPL players are amongst those doing great for the semi-finalists. The Three Lions are just cursed, dunno why. |

sinizia: The English NT is cursed because they have 100% EPL players 4 of the starting 11 for the English NT were in the PFA 11, More than any other team the English NT is the closest representative to the EPL and their uselessness can be traced to the EPL There is no rational way you would take credit for EPL and refuse to take credit for the English NT they go hand in hand 1 Like |

“But I have one characteristic, for example this Euro is proving that I’m right. By the defensive point of view, at the moment, everybody is trying to defend better,” he said. “The lines are much more compact, the central area is much more occupied, you give space to the opponents down the sides, not in a central area. You compact lines in the short period of space, and these are characteristics that, in my point of view, are very, very important to a team. Defending well is very, very important. “A football team is everything, every moment of the game, every principle, every sub-principle you have to work, and I work a lot to have my team prepared for every possible situation.” - Jose Mourinho

“Yes we want to play different to the last season. Mr Van Gaal is absolutely a top manager, his philosophy is very clear, my philosophy is different. It’s not better, it’s different. “I’m more vertical, I’m more intense, I like ball possession that has a way to create a chance. I don’t like ball possession just to keep statistical possession of the ball and be afraid of playing a game of transitions. “Transitions will always come during the game, I’m not afraid of losing the ball, I’m not afraid of risk.” - Jose Mourinho LVG won't like the bold part! |

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 11:31pm On Jul 05, 2016 |
Spy360: If you had common sense, you would know that someone shitty as a midfielder cannot play as number 10. Mourinho meant the midfield is too small for Rooney. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 11:33pm On Jul 05, 2016 |
Leyqute: Same way Drogba gave way to Diego Costa. Henry gave way to Adebayo. World class doesn't mean you have to play till 90 years. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 11:36pm On Jul 05, 2016 |
Nihilist: The issue here is not whether his star has faded. The issue is that Mourinho said Rooney will be more useful to him in crowded zone than less crowded midfield. |

SailorXY: The guy question no make sense. So I gave it to him back. He said I used to claim Rooney is a world class centre forward. So why am I suggesting he should reinvent himself. So I reminded him of the record books. Lol |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by SailorXY: 11:57pm On Jul 05, 2016 |
SailorXY:This is also feasible. A lot points to the 4-3-3 formation already, let's hope it works. With a Defence capable of keeping a high line & playing closer to the midfielders make an interesting attacking unit upfront.

Watching Mourinho's press conference today, I can conclude that Mourinho has always dreamed of Coaching This club. Infact, from all he said and his expressions, i think he has been keeping tabs on the club since SAF retired. Noting down all the issues we are facing with the team, awaiting the day he would be employed to unleash all his strategies and solutions. He's got passion for the club and he's crazily happy to be a coach of manchester united. MUFC seems like his Dream Club. I just stepped up my respect for him, the guy is good. He's a good manager and knows its onion and where it bites. I believe he'll do well with the club and i like his strict nature. Rooney can chop the bench for all i care. We now have a coach who is ready to take decisions without feeling remorse or being sentimental about it. This season will be an interesting one to watch. Not gonna miss any match of the top 5 clubs. 1 Like |

José Mourinho has persuaded Wayne Rooney to abandon plans to reinvent himself as a midfielder and revealed that Manchester United have accelerated their attempts to sign his fourth major target, thought to be Paul Pogba. And Chief executive, Ed Woodward has already held face-to-face talks with the player’s representatives. Rooney has already had a two-hour meeting with Mourinho and will now revert to playing in attack, with Mourinho making it clear he does not agree with Van Gaal or Roy Hodgson, that a player who will be 31 in October should play as a midfielder. As Woodward met Mino Raiola, agent to Pogba and Mkhitaryan – primarily to finalise the Armenian’s salary – in Monaco, Mourinho also made it clear he would not emulate Van Gaal’s habit of targeting players who could operate in different roles. ^^^ Just saw this now. It is not different from what I said about the issue. |

MOURINHO DEFENDS YOUTH RECORD “I have promoted 49 youth players from Academies. If you want, I can give you that list. Two factors that are very important on these records, because sometimes you promote because you don’t have another chance or so many injuries, you have to bring them in. The second factor is when you are not playing for big targets then it is easier to bring them up. My record of injuries is very, very low. I never promote players because of a need – I do it because of conviction." |

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Leyqute(m): 7:10am On Jul 06, 2016 |
joeace2020: Rooney's sharpness in front of goal and concentration has dipped in recent years. At times he's confused with what to do with the ball when in a position he's supposed to make quick decisions, losing possession dangerously. Maybe this is due to LVG or Moye's straight-jacket tactics, I don't know. However he needs to increase his sharpness to remain competitive and survive. The other day he had to be pushed so the ball could deflect off him into the net. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by lekkie073(m): 8:34am On Jul 06, 2016 |
Leyqute:Rooney is about to b disgraced from the team. all things point to it that this is probably his last season with utd. 1. his testimonial match has been arranged. 2. Jose said he doesn't fancy players who tend to be multifunctional. he likes specialists. that means Rooney should go back to his support strike role.m where we all know his physical attributes can't allow again 3. Jose will expect Rooney to play his original role and when he is shyte he would have a justifiable reason to bench him for long periods. and if results keep getting better in those periods, God epp Rooney. 4. Rooney sitting on d bench for long periods will see the writing on d wall and subsequently go to USA or China. 5. Ans Jose managed happily ever after |

elampiro:Midfield too small for Rooney. Tell me, was Rooney good as a midifelder? If your answer is yes, then it is either you are just being funny or your thinking faculty is faulty. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by joeace2020(m): 8:49am On Jul 06, 2016 |
Leyqute: Everybody accepts this except Rooney. Now i can say he's finished as a striker considering he's going to be fighting for places unlike in LVG's tenure where he would be made to start ahead of better players and play all game while setting the team back. Once mourinho tries him in the 10 n 9 positions and he fails to deliver...he should start preparing to not only be benched but plan his transfer once again and this time...he'll be gladly booted out |

SailorXY:Firstly, what has your FA cup trophy done for you? FA cup that Arsenal won back to back prior? Mou would have valued a top 4 finish from Van gurl than his useless FA cup of tea. By the way and as a matter of fact, Arsenal did not finish trophyless. |
