What the hell did I just read???

Anyway, back to Man U stuff. Shinji came out after the game today and spent about 15 mins signing autographs. Nice gesture from him, he made sure to do the full circle of fans. I haven't noticed any of the other players do that but then I'm generally gone before they start leaving.

Nani getting booed was disgraceful. He didn't have a great game but not many did. Either way no player deserves that. I really want to see him play his way into some form but just can't see it happening. He gets abuse from the crowd every time something he tries doesn't come off. That must get to him and sap his confidence.

Woodward, talking to the fanzine United We Stand, said: "With Fábregas that was an approach specific to the selling club. They have an ownership structure that means there has to be debate before a player is sold. It was disappointing that we didn't sign more players, but I always knew it was going to be a tough window. We didn't want to impose a plan on the new manager that had come from the old manager … and we knew we had a truncated window. The early view was that we needed a central midfielder and a left-back, but David also wanted to spend time with the squad. There wasn't a long list he wanted – it was a unique window.

"The Rooney situation was another unique one. It was important that we made our position very clear. I am delighted he is still wearing red… He is irreplaceable and phenomenal to watch."

Moyes said: “I’ve said if I couldn’t get Wilf a game, I would look at it in January. But I really thought when he came in he needed to be here for six months to see how we work.

“It’s not because Wilf has not done enough, it’s because we have got big, big competition.”

Manchester United may launch a £12million January bid for Holland star Wesley Sneijder, writes the Sunday People.

The Premier League champs apparently failed with a £6m approach for the Galatasaray playmaker during the summer.

The Turkish club’s sporting director Bulent Tulun said: “Sneijder received an indirect offer from Manchester United, but it was not accepted.”

Old Trafford boss David Moyes could now double his offer.

Van Gall speaking to talkSPORT said: 'I know Chelsea and Jose Mourinho want Sneijder.

'In my opinion, if possible Sneijder should leave Galatasaray and join Chelsea.
'Playing under Mourinho again would improve his performances and help him regain his form for the national team.'

Sneijder: 'Everywhere Jose Mourinho goes they make some rumours about me following,' he told Lig TV.
'Whatever club I'm at I will give 100%, I love this club and I am not even thinking to leave. It's just rumours and you will see come January I will be linked with Chelsea again but I am staying here.
'Every transfer market I am apparently moving to one club or another but these are just rumours, I am happy and I like life here.'

Mail

January: Keep Zaha, get rid of one of the "big, big competition", replace him with Wesley; still only 29, surely still worth a punt?

BTW, Sahin is playing very well for Dortmund now by all accounts. Think he was unlucky. He got injured early on at Madrid and only ended up playing a handful of games for them. Got loaned to Liverpool and was kind of played out of position in a team in transition.

That's kind of my point though. I get the feeling Klopp might be like Wenger in that people look like works beaters under him but don't quite measure up when they go elsewhere.

Rooney to Chelsea, Baines to United, Sneijder to United.

Papers don't even have the decency to be subtle when they copy/paste their stories...

Only 29 I thought he was about 31 def snap him up for that.

Sneijder to United, will this story NEVER DIE!?

Daily Mail wrote:

Mon, 6 July 2037

Sources close to Old Trafford revealed today that retired midfielder Wesley Sneijder is a summer target for Manchester United.

United, who have been struggling in the center of the field since the departure of club legend Roy Keane 32 years ago, are keen to entice the 53 year-old Dutchman with a £108 million deal which will keep him at the club for 4 years.

Meanwhile, 63 year-old midfielder Ryan Giggs will extend his contract for yet another year. Giggs is the only player to have played and scored in every season of the Premier League since its inception.

Cantona's Collars

Remember the first time we were strongly linked with Sneijder? The stumbling block was wages,seems like now he's on £50k a week at Galatasary,that's some drop from the reported £200k he wanted from United.

On the Zaha statement from Moyes,a bit odd considering his direct competition is a man who's afraid to take on a defender,crosses a ball once every 3 months & is so one footed he could take part in the paralympics.
I thought when Moyes played him in preseason,that'd be the springboard to a great season from Zaha but now he can't even get a look in.

Timmyctc

is this true does anyone know? If so itll be like a new signing!

Darren Fletcher to return for Man Utd, he hasn't played since Boxing Day, has been in full training for a fortnight and could even return to first-team action against Norwich in the Capital One Cup

Hangballlouie

Although I don't think you will get great success with Moyes long term and am of the opinion that he isn't good enough for Utd, I genuinely believe that yesterday showed that he is starting to learn how to manage the squad better.

At Everton, he always had a good 11, so squad rotation and sub-management weren't something he had to worry about. Now he has 18 good players and I think the biggest reason for the poor start was his lack of understanding in how best to use these tools he inherited.

so as I said, yesterday for me he showed a better understanding of how to manage Utd but whether that translates to long-term is another matter.

KH25

I was impressed with the second half yesterday. The team played with determination and it paid off in the end. Moyes made some good substitutions and pushed for the win. Now we just need to build on that performance and things will start to come together.

Backstreet Moyes

Lads i know the subs worked out well yesterday but i don't see how people are saying it's a positive he made attacking subs. We were losing he had no choice the problem i have is the subs he makes when we are winning. When we should be kicking on he brings on players to protect a lead.

Surelt it's going to be tough for him to get back to his previous level? But then again, going through something like that might spur him on to do even better!

Hopefully he learned his lesson on that against Southampton. Yesterday should have re-enforced that; until the defence cuts out the silly mistakes, United will need several goals to win games.

Backstreet Moyes

I really think until he decides on a settled back 4 then we are going to see mistakes.

And as long as Jones is not in the central pairing I'll be happy.

14:50 in, it's that dude who goes to all the away games. I will say something if I ever see him, what a fool.

I said it before and people may think he is too good to loan out. But i think Jones would turn out a better defender if he went out on loan. He is spending his time being thrown in midfield, right back or every few games at cb. He needs a regular run of games at cb. At Blackburn he put in some performances when playing regularly and the same near the end of last season he was very good with a run of games. He has all the tools to be a very good cb but he needs to play to improve his weaknesses such as his positioning is suspect causing him to be rash. He tends to make a lot of last ditch tackles which look great but all it shows is poor positioning. He needs to play to improve these areas not thrown in every few games.

He doesn't boo and says that the booing is not on. I was also delighted when Nani was taken off for Adnan. It was the turning point in the game and why United won.

J. Marston

Apparently that's from the matchday programme yesterday.

Backstreet Moyes

I think people are getting mixed up. I don't think he was booed because he had a bad game but because he was walking off like a snail when losing the game.

The response from Manchester United;

In this week's United Uncovered email newsletter, a graphic spelling the letters MUFC ran alongside a feature about Manchester United's younger squad members entitled New Order.

While the headline was intended to reference the band of the same name, it has been pointed out that the graphic had design similarities to a swastika which, combined with other connotations of the phrase 'new order', has caused offence which was entirely unintended.

For this, United Uncovered unreservedly apologises.

I took it them booing Nani and his performance and not his slow walking off.

Sure there was a huge cheer from the crowd when his number was held up as the player coming off and then bood off the pitch.

I can see the hypocrisy of getting all high and mighty, criticising people who actually attended the game while I was watching it on the telly, but it left a very bad taste in the mouth and was a pretty low moment in an underwhelming season so far.

I do hope I'm wrong and you are right, and if haven't watched it back since but that was certainly my interpretation of it watching it "live"

There's more than naive and simplistic viewpoints and opinions to be taken into consideration.
