GloryIsaac: Yeah, going to Dortmund was the wrong move for him, Nigga got too ambitious. I hope Moyes panel beats him back to form. Mata doesn't fit Moaninghoes Style of Defense that's why I think Depay might contribute more. To be honest, I rate wenger highly, No good team with a striker like Giroud should finish anywhere more than 4th place and they had good points too. Wenger is a genius. The day he decides to splash money there will be serious groans in the league. |

Mourinho studied United Jose Mourinho has revealed he has been studying Manchester United closely since December in order to pinpoint exactly how the squad needed to be transformed this summer. Mourinho's arrival at Old Trafford has coincided with a busy transfer window for the Red Devils, with world record signing Paul Pogba joining Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Eric Bailly and Henrikh Mkhitaryan. The decisive manner United have concluded their transfer business has been in contrast to the tenures of David Moyes and Louis van Gaal, which saw deals done on deadline day for three consecutive years with the signings of Marouane Fellaini, Radamel Falcao and Anthony Martial. Mourinho arrived at United with clear instructions on what he wanted - a centre-back, a central midfielder, an attacking midfielder and a striker and he gave Ed Woodward a list of potential options at each position. The Portuguese believes United's summer transfer business has put them in a great position to succeed this season and praised club's money men for their "magnificent" approach to pushing through the deals. "First of all, I didn't buy them. I don't have enough money to pay that amount," Mourinho said, ahead of Sunday's Premier League opener at Bournemouth, live on Sky Sports 1 HD . "So credit to the club, credit to the potential that the club has, not just financially but also what the club means for the world of football to attract players. "I think I gave a contribution because I was very objective. I think some managers, they have doubts. I don't know the word but they find it difficult to decide, they are almost decided and then you come with another idea. Then the clubs feel that you are not so sure about it. I was very objective from day one. "I was not working since December. I watched Manchester United play many, many times. I had an idea about the squad and when I arrived I was ready to be objective. "This is what I would like to have, decide the numbers for each position. So if you cannot get this one then you have the second, third or fourth. Every time I was making a written report to the board, I think the board could feel consistency in my analysis. "The targets were there on the table, after that was the club power and they were very strong, they were very good and they did everything before August 14. They could have done August 30, but, no, they did it by August 14." While the approach of Mourinho's predecessor Van Gaal to transfers may have been at times chaotic, his style of play was far too structured for Manchester United fans' liking and chants of "attack, attack, attack" became a regular feature of games at Old Trafford last season. Mourinho has been brought in to change that approach but he warned United fans he will always prioritise substance over style and believes winning is what is ultimately important. "I came to England in 2004, and I saw Manchester United as a winning team, not as always an attacking team," he said. "I played sometimes against Manchester United and they were a defensive team. "I played Real Madrid-Manchester United in Madrid and they crossed the midfield line twice with Wayne Rooney played outside-left to defend my right-back. "I saw them always as a winning team with an attacking philosophy, but a winning team. That's the challenge for Manchester United, to try to be a winning team in a new era of the Premier League that is much more difficult than before. "So our job is really difficult but we want to win matches, we want to win competitions, and to win isolated matches you can play bad but to win competitions you need to play well." www.skysports.com/football/news/12040/10533992/jose-mourinho-watched-manchester-united-for-months-to-decide-on-transfers |

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by edoyad(m): 6:22pm On Aug 13, 2016 |
Just wishing fellow fans a wonderful season ahead. Hopefully, you guys will not be misled this time around by that False prophet, Rev Adelana to think you actually have a chance of winning the league. Just take baby steps for now and in the near future, say 15 or 16 years, Man U will be competitive again |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by NigerianSHA: 6:23pm On Aug 13, 2016 |

![]() What kind of complex style is Pep playing at Manchester City?! Can't really comprehend exactly where Clichy and Sagna are playing! I hope our Analysts could device the formation and pattern City is playing! Cc Diademk07, Elampiro, Nihilist, Raumdeuter, DopeJemi, elrony, Pataki, GBR1, Lana1, SailorXY, and Co! |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by SailorXY: 6:33pm On Aug 13, 2016 |
^ha I no dey watch match today Is any MUFC lad playing for Moyes already? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Nihilist: 6:46pm On Aug 13, 2016 |
Oasis007: I'm fascinated by this system. Clichy and Sagna seem to be tucking into central midfield whilst fernadinho looks like he's dropping in between stones and kolarov during build up. By the time the ball gets to the Sunderland box, Stones is alone in the city defence.. The only issue is can see is that nolito and Sterling are having to stay wide to provide the width since the fullbacks are not overlapping. Aguero is a midget, so the wingers on the touchline cannot pullout to him. Instead when the collect the ball in the wide areas, they have to try and dribble into the centre to get the ball to their striker. Sunderland have packed the narrow areas with defenders so the city wingers keeping dribbling into bodies and losing thr ball. Without that moment of madness from that foolish PvA, city would not have scored because they just can't get the ball into dangerous areas. Interesting game though |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Diademk07: 6:48pm On Aug 13, 2016 |
Aw, Leicester clearly missed Kante. I don't know if it was on here or some other forum I opined that "people often talk about our need to move from possession based tactic and operate a counter attack setup but do we have the players for it such as pacy forwards, a deeplying playmaker and a box-box CM like Kante to win the ball high up the pitch and surge out immediately to counter.." Apart from Drinkwter and their pace, Kante was one important factor that made Leicester a functional team last season. He would win the ball high up the pitch and before any opposition team knows what hit them in the face, he would surge forward and start 'the counter' with the likes of Mahrez, Vardy, Okazaki etc who were all already in great position in the final third before Kante even won the ball, and with these forwards' pace, it was quite easy to put the finishing touch. Without Kante, the forwards have to drop deep to get the ball and before they could glance up, the opposition teams already got back their defensive shape. Mahrez especially benefited a lot from Kante. That's one reason I was far up in Kante ass and wanted him to be signed. From what I've seen from Kante replacement, Mendy is no box+box CM, haven't seen much of him though. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by SailorXY: 6:53pm On Aug 13, 2016 |
Diademk07:yeah yeah yeah Goan propose to Kante already. Let us see how he fares in Chelshit then as he's the next best thing since Zico. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by SIRcumalot: 6:59pm On Aug 13, 2016 |
@diademk07. any team would miss a player like Kante but, Mendy didn't get enough minutes to really exert his influence on the field in the game against Hull. and Huth was absent too. If Vardy scored the three clear cut chances created for him,chances he would have buried last season. Leicester wins this game easy. okazaki should start along side vardy for now and maybe play Musa somewhere else even though he was one of their best performer this game. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by eph12(m): 7:00pm On Aug 13, 2016 |
Diademk07:For the first time I have to agree with you. Kante was marvellous last season at Leicester. Never caught ball watching, tackled strongly, always staying on his feet and never shied away from attacking duties when called upon. To me he was the best player in the EPL last season. Even when Mahrez, Vardy went off form last season he maintained his through out. He will be sorely missed. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by patrickmuf(m): 7:00pm On Aug 13, 2016 |
Januzaj will only get better at Sunderland, he was involved in the goal. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Diademk07: 7:01pm On Aug 13, 2016 |
SailorXY: Common, he's no playmaker unlike Zico. All I'm just saying is the importance of Kante in the Leicester team. Anyway, Kante is no one season wonder, he had a similar stat while at Caen which shows he has it in him. As for his new team, the agbero team, I hope he's not used in the holding role but as the box-box CM he is. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by RuuDie(m): 7:04pm On Aug 13, 2016 |
SailorXY: Loads. It's a photocopy of the team Moyes would have installed in old Trafford if to sey una give am time ![]() 1 Like |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by eph12(m): 7:06pm On Aug 13, 2016 |
It's painful when defensive players don't get recognized enough for their efforts. Some even get involved in attacks in addition to their defensive duties but they still don't get recognized. Smh |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Diademk07: 7:06pm On Aug 13, 2016 |
SIRcumalot: Mendy is certainly no box-box nor has the defensive nous of Kante. They missed Huth as well but the whole team was a mess, especially Mahrez who isn't as pacey in the first place. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by SIRcumalot: 7:07pm On Aug 13, 2016 |
make I start to watch again
since Sunderland Don equalize. the whole game dey bore me before. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 7:08pm On Aug 13, 2016 |
Nihilist: Nice one! You are really on point! But do you think the System can work in EPL?! |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by NigerianSHA: 7:10pm On Aug 13, 2016 |

Diademk07:Musa was good he created two clear chances vardy couldn't put away. let see him first nobody rated Kante before all this stuff. it Is clear that Ranieri is slowly integrating the guy into the team. I agree though Mahrez wasn't good. paddy mcnair Don ruin the party. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by parrotibaba(m): 7:14pm On Aug 13, 2016 |
Mehn pep go also hear am this season. It's still early days though. Januzaj enjoying himself in this match, more of that as the season goes on. |
