let us be sincere to ourselves, we need a midfielder who can transit from defense to attack with force & verve.

In case you've not noticed our transition from back to front is still very slow & teams will cover the hell up before we get the chance to pick them apart on the counter.

Suggesting a clumsy fellow like Matic show you don't have a proper understanding of what Jose is trying to fix. Pogba brings long range efforts, pace, agility, close control, added height average & good passing.

Under LvG when we played a 4-1-4-1 with Herrera & Fellaini in AM & Carrick scheming behind with fleet wing play, United managed to produce performances littered with purpose & skill to the delight of the fans. Unfortunately, LvG scrapped that.

Prior to that, the time we played with any form of intent was using the diamond midfield. di Maria & Herrera supporting the AM, again with fleet wing play from the full backs finding so much space out wide.

What these formations had in common was more than one player acting as an offensive midfielder (Fellaini & Herrera) which gave way for the ball to flow outta defense faster via having more outlet to pass forward more quickly; & in the latter case (Rooney & Herrera) with di Maria adding quick feet to that multiple pass outlet, bringing ball from deep to the numbers already ahead of him.

I have said that signing Pogba to play in pivot will be a waste of resources. With Ibrahimovic & Rooney liking to drop deep, there will be a need for a decoy runner from behind the CF in addition to those sprinting from the wings. This is the only way Jose's tactics will produce goals.

Looking inwards I'd have Herrera/Henrikh play as No. 10 if Pogba fails & a guy like Matuidi joins. The reason for Herrera is simple, aside having an eye for passes albeit lesser than Mata but more athletic & tougher in the tackle, he puts in his defensive shift better when he has a "free role" upfront. In other words he has better offensive & defensive contributions when he plays as an AM.

See revisionism at its peak!
Carrick was the key to that diamond set up and the moment he got injured, we went 5-6 games on aa loosing streak!

And don't make me laugh at your ''Pogba's close control, agility and passing" comment or the highlighted part of your post!

Injuries plagued him last season and thats why he couldn't perform at his normal standards not to mention the doctor of philosophy, Schweini has proven to be a great player despite his ageing self so i expect Mou to give him a chance at least

Even an average Manager wouldn't buy swinestiger...Why buy an injury prone player...My main anger is his wages. 200k for being that useless. Please we have to be aggressive, you can't be sucking that much wages and still be that useless Boss cheesy


Noo more chance for him, or if he can grab them playing for the U-21. He's even lucky our academy is going to a drought of talent he wouldn't even start for the U-21 team self

Oh shut it, the Boss is eating 200k of our wage bill...what kind of class is that? Someone that's reluctant to move because of reduced wages is useless.

We should even kick him out of OT...waste of money

Rumours! No one is sure of what's happening in there or the reasons behind them. As for playing with the reserve, who hasn't played with the reserve team? Bastian has even done so before coming here.

The press just looking for a way to start criticising Jose.

I think it's more than just rumour. The way the Bayern goats had been on Mourinho's case in the media tells you a lot.

I'm very happy about how Jose has handled the issue; he couldn't have done it better. Many players looking for retirement homes would think twice before coming to United now; some would have us become like the Milan clubs to please Bastian. Nonsense.

I don't understand why most United fans are this naive to the point of being silly. Becoming attached to a player who has done nothing since his arrival at United is very stupid IMO. Your support for United should come first, not Bastian or even legends like Rooney or Giggs. That's the priority; and that's how you support a club.

Proven to be a great player doesn't mean sh1t currently? Was he even a great player at United?

Bastian has won basically everything to win in football but is a liability and pretty useless currently. Nobody at United gives a sh1t about your World Cup medals if you can't even stay fit to save your life.
Bastian is on high wages and Jose told him he's not in his plans and should find a new club ASAP but it's likely Bastian thought he could just have his way as usual. Last season, he started just 13 league games and was injured for most part of the season. Instead of staying in Manchester and working on his fitness issues, he spent more than in time Munich and when he wasn't in Germany, he was busy touring everywhere and following his girlfriend all over the world to play tennis and enjoying her pussу when he should be playing football. Other United players were even unhappy with Bastian's behavior but couldn't do much since LVG favored him unnecessarily but at the end, even LVG ended up criticizing him. It's no surprise LVG was shown the door; when you make stupid decisions to bring in players who are confirmed sick notes like this and hardly bother to improve their fitness ; Pep even said Bastian hasn't been fit in about 2 years or more.
But when the Euros came, Bastian miraculously became fit for Germany and put in performances far better than anything he had shown at United and you some of you are still so naive to believe anything you want to the detriment of the club.

I've always liked Bastian; He's one of my favorite midfielders of the modern era but I really want him out of the club ASAP. Jose also liked him and used to rate him very highly and if Jose wants him out, then it's for a very good reason and I can't wait to see his back giving that he has disrespected the club and the only thing he has proven here is that he's a liability and is pretty useless to United and that's all that matters to me.

According to the Manchester Evening News .

" Pogba to United is done

Paul Pogba is effectively a Manchester United player again. United have agreed personal terms and a transfer fee. All that awaits is an announcement.

Pogba has behaved diplomatically on holiday in the States and wasn’t going to reduce some Juventus fans to tears - or reveal where he’ll be playing during an exchange with them.

United should announce his signing once he re

Pogba has been released from his obligations to Juventus meaning that he won't have to fly to Turin on Sunday after his holiday, instead he may fly directly to Manchester on Sunday. His lawyers are finalizing his paperwork.... Sky sports.


The deal is almost done.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by parrotibaba(m): 11:33am On Aug 05, 2016
Also me no de gbadun wetin Mourinho dey do Bastian. Football folks don de too complain about him being forced to train with the under 21s because Manchester United want him to leave. Why can't de just put him on the bench until he decides to leave himself?.


In my honest opinion, we don't need to sell anyone at all this season, we are participating in the europa league which means that we will play on Thursday and then play on Sunday afternoon in some cases. We need a second eleven and we definitely need Bastian in that midfield. Injuries no de look face.

kokaneprodigy:

A manger that signed 33+ Zlatan
Can you tell me the last time Zlatan had a major injury?
He's basically almost fit every time of the the season unlike Bastian who is a 32 year old sick note. Zlatan is actually fitter and in better shape than a lot of younger players; see Jones and Badstuber for example.

Zlatan is 33+ but he's coming off his best season ever. A lot of younger players would only dream to have such a season even in their peak years.
So Zlatan is simply incomparable to Bastian and the scenarios are extremely different. United is NOT a retirement home; we can sign old players as long as they are performing or would bring something significant to the table. If Zlatan fails to do that, he'll be shown the door like Bastian and deservedly so.

I don't even understand why I wasted my time explaining this to you; you're Kokaneprodigy after all.

Exactly. I can't understand how naive and silly most United fans can be. They're placing a Bastian who is basically useless to us above the club for stupid reasons. That's why I'm always against getting too attached to a player or having favorites.

Bastian came to do MAGA for United enjoying free big money and doing nothing but Jose has realized this and he is treating his fucк up; only silly United fans would cry about this. I'm very happy.
