“Mata’s footballing IQ is off the scale. He does not have the pace to burn past defenders like Anthony Martial so he plays on the right to allow him to find gaps in midfield, cut in on his left foot and shoot."

Great performance from the team and a much needed victory. The only negative was the regular evidence of Blind's inability to play LB against any body with pace and/or power....we need a fit LB urgently.
JM should also start giving Zlatan a few minutes off at the end of games, even if it's 5 or 10 minutes. This will make him fresher toward the end of the season and also allow us have Rashford play a few minutes at CF preferably with Mikki beneath and Martial out wide.
It seems JM has finally decided on his formation I.e 4-2-3-1 and the team is settled apart from LB and LWF.

I dont believe the back Partnership between Smalling and Bailly is stronger than that of Jones and Rojo. We just played two weak teams. Leicester is battling delegation while Watford is trying to climb up from down down.

On the other hand we have seen Jones and Rojo held their own against Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham and many top teams. They did not give Spurs a single chance while Arsenal only eqaulized from Rashford's error.

We have to wait and see how that back settles after next set of big fixtures

I say the CB is settled because it doesn't really matter who we field at CB, we usually get good to excellent performances. I might still rate Rojo the worst (because of his 2 footed lunges and his occasional potential red card attracting tackles) but even he has been quite good. In other words it does not really matter the combination we usually get a settled performance. The only combo i would be hesitant to promote is Rojo and Bailly because they are both rash, however even if i see that combo i wouldn't be unduly worried.
Right back is setlled with Anthony Valencia and there are other players who can give a decent performance in that position.

The 2 positions where we have the greatest uncertainty are 1) LB where Shaw can't stay fit, Blind is too slow and too weak, Rojo is an attacking liability and Darmian is a 2 way liability AND 2) LW where Mourinho refuses to trust Martial on a regular basis and Lingard, Rashford are not really up to his quality in that position.
Mourinho's 1st choice at CF, RWF, CAM, 2CMs, GK are all obvious. It took him close to a season but he appears to be getting there.

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Funlordmaniac(m): 10:46am On Feb 14, 2017
Some of the views here are quite funny! So you want to sign a talented young player with potential without performance related clauses or what?

You want to sign a young player from his club who still had a long term development contract with monaco from them without adding any sweeteners to convince him and his agent as well as monaco to agree to a deal? Do you know the clauses that were inserted into cr7's contract in 2003, or even depays or Pogba's? We even have a buy back clause inserted in depays own in case he goes and turns into messi later on in france!

The onus is on the player to deliver...

Ok, now I understand. But in my opinion we are settled with Martial on the left. The problem is the right if we are to play Mkhitaryan or Mata as proper number 10. I prefer Mkhitaryan. We need a right wing player who can attack straight like Martial does on the left. Not one drafting in always.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Funlordmaniac(m): 11:00am On Feb 14, 2017
THE FINE PRINT:

United have declined to comment on the document, which first appeared on website Football Leaks and claims to show the details of the French forward's move between the clubs in the summer transfer window.

The document says the initial fee of 50m Euros (£38.5m) for the player is to be paid in two instalments - €20m (£15.4m) within three days of his transfer, and €30m (£23.1m) on July 1.


There are then three further potential payments - €10m (£7.7m) if the player scores 25 first-team goals for Manchester United, €10m (£7.7m)  if Martial makes 25 appearances for the French national team and €10m (£7.7m) more if the player is ever nominated for the Ballon d'Or award.


There is also a sell-on clause inserted in the deal, with Monaco due to be paid 50 per cent of any transfer fee between €60m and €100m United receive for the player.



Martial was the most expensive teenager in the world when Manchester United bought him in August, and he signed a four-year deal with the club.

The forward, who has scored eight goals in 26 appearances so far this season, had signed A NEW DEAL WITH MONACO IN JUNE, when the Ligue 1 club's vice-president Vadim Vasilyev called the player "untransferable", only for him to move less than two months later.

I believe JM has settled on Mikki as the 10 and Juan Mata as RWF for this season, however he is not sold on Martial holding down that LWF position yet. Going forward though he might want a replacement for Mata on that right flank. This is the only scenario that explains sensibly the rumors about Griezmann. Griezmann as RWF might be able to give us Mata's goals and movement AND very importantly be a significant upgrade in 1v1 situations against the full back.

LOUIS VAN GAAL of course!

Van gaal or Woodward? Smh!

You think Van gaal signed those contractual fees? He was at Monaco to sign those contractual clause fees? grin

As far as I'm concerned, his signing fees which was 38mil, was the only thing Van Gaal knew about, not the pay per goal/app clauses. That one is on Woodward.

His job was to identify Martial as the player he wants, it was Woodward who went ahead to sign the ridiculous pay per goal/app. The same Van gaal refused to sign Mane because Southampton were demanding for 30-35 mil pounds for Mane. He eventually signed Depay in his place. I doubt if Van gaal would sign a prodigy for that contractual fees.

You can't compare the power and influence managers like SAF and Wenger have in their clubs compared to almost any other manager. Fergie and Wenger because of their longevity and power of incumbency have powers and influence beyond the average manager.
Also i can't state for certain that SAF wouldn't have allowed it (after all SAF signed Bebe for 7m pounds AND THAT DEAL IS WORSE IMO), all i know is an ordinary manager does not get involved in such contractual clauses....You can't blame LVG for this one.

When we say he should watch "Jesus" we are not only even looking at what or how he plays at city currently but how he had transformed himself into a key man at palmeiras and how he has forced himself into his national team set up and now how he is giving a superb striker in "Aguero" selection headache while remaining humble, quiet and just getting goals!


Instead of rashford to help us retire grandpa Ibra and rooney he is allowing crap emanate from his camp off the pitch when he is not doing much on the pitch! Jesus has not even done much at city but going by their attitudes I won't be surprised if he ends up at the top while rashford eventually heads to bolton!
