When I watch Ashley Young play when United are in great form he plays great. When we play crap on the other hand...

He is not at United that long. It takes time to settle at a club like United. It shouldn't be a surprise when other players struggle a new player will too.

I am hopeful he can get back to his early form and we will see him play a big part in tight games.

He did well enough against West Brom in the second half of a game united were struggling in.

That is fine but this cretin has to realise that the tripe he is writing alienates foreign supporters. At the end of the day United forced to choose would run Alan and his ilk off a cliff to fill the stadium with 70,000 Koreans, Japanese or Malaysians who wouldn't know Rio Ferdinand from Archduke Franz Ferdinand, but would buy every replica kit under the sun. This is not since the Glazers took over, this is since the stock market float and beyond.

There is a reason the club don't bother thier holes playing ten or twelve friendlies in the environs of Old Trafford every summer.

There is a good reason why every club in christendom is trying to copy Man United's marketing policies.

Its an unfair advantage alright, but wheres the FIFA rule that applies?
FIFA trying to create a cartel with their FFP rules, so the same old teams will always win and no others get a chance. They can try and fix sugar daddys, but how do you make it a level playing field regarding support, ground size etc?

They aren't going to stop teams developing. They are stopping clubs giving players huge wages and paying stupid money.

Surely a club would only develop a new ground on the premise that it's actually viable. Every club can't be equally successful. This isn't the NFL. There is never going to be a level playing field. However, I don't think these rules are going to work very well.

cloptrop

did anything come of the silly speculation that you need a certain mount of english players in your team?
the reason liverpool went on their british talent spending spree apparantly

Yep, Young has played far too little games for us to be making any sort of definitive judgement on his United career yet. Personally, I like him as a player and think he adds a lot to the side most times he plays.

Even when he's not playing great, he links up the play well and usually works hard.

Supposedly around 10 days but knowing Fergie, he'll probably be on the bench on Sunday.

Woo hold your horses Blatter. I was merely making an observation, not putting the final nail in his United career.

I wasn't suggesting you had done Keno, I was referring to those who have been complaining about his signing and saying 'he isn't United quality', which there have been a few!

If that is accurate it puts the Gibson transfer fee in a new perspective.

Someone else must have typed that first one for him.

I don't know what that 2nd comment is about, he doesn't know if he has an agent? Someone's a 'bulshter' alright.

I must point out that I was joking with that last tweet, but the fact that people didn't cop that just serves to illustrate how much of an idiot Morrison has portrayed himself to be.

He's this guy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farid_El_Allagui

Banging them in for Falkirk at the moment, not sure what the story behind the photo is apart from Farid is considered to be a nice guy and fair play to Fergie for having a laugh.

Seriously though, he answered the Morrison question last week so he is right to dismiss it. After 25 years +, the Press should know by now that he'll not entertain shít stirring.

Are you serious? He's one of the best up & coming players in English football and also for Ireland, he's with united but on loan at Hull.

Not really anymore apparently, he has not progressed the way the club ahd hoped, possibly due to his attitude.

This loan deal could hopefully be the makings of him though, he is 20 now. You would think its time to do something to get himself to the fringes of the first team at least.

Never heard of him either , I havnt had MUTV in a year or two , but im sure if he was that good id have heard of him.

How can you comment on his attitude if you don't even know who he is ? I recommend you watch him play a couple of games before you can comment on him, theres even talk of him being a called up to the Ireland senior team although I think it's too soon

Well don't rate him just check it out so you'll actually know who you are talking about

Kryogen is well aware who Robbie Brady is. It was Cloptrop and Corvus Maximus who were not.
He is only 20 yrs old. I think the next 1.5 seasons will be the making or breaking of him.

If you search youtube enough im sure you would find some crackers from darren gibson, bebe , john o shea , edwin van der saar scored a couple , im sure you could even find a phil neville goal if you looked hard enough ,
he is a young lad , ill give him the benefit of the doubt cause he was injured for a long spell so we will still call him young at 20 , but if he was offered being the next robbie keane im sure he would take that.

John O Shea scored important goals, screamer against Arsenal, and made a fool of Figo.

I miss him.

cloptrop

I seen him score against liverpool , i think it was that youtube clip i posted a minute ago but i remember the goal differently , i was in a tv shop , it was when the 3d tellys were just going on sale , i was prob buying a toaster or something , i let out a huge roar and startled the whole shop ,
i was buying a deep fat fryer now that i think of it , ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Good times.
