Manchester United Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread - 2013/14

I think my head is going to melt.

TheFullDuck

De Gea made a howler, but the match shoudnt of gotten to the stage where he made it. Most teams would put sunderland to the sword at home. I don't begrudge them the place in the final though, better team over the two legs

sky88

After that i wouldnt be surprised if the mata deal collapsed one disappointment after another one

jamesbere

What the hell was that, that was a woeful display for a penalty shoot-out.

Neeson

The quality of the penalties and the likes of Welbeck and then people have issues with Donovan. It's a sad day when the penalty takers are those beans. You just knew the likes of Rafael would miss. Mother of god

collie0708

I can't believe how we have lost to Sunderland over 2 legs. The shoot out was pathetic some of the worst pens I have ever seen.... Overall Sunderland deserve there place in the final and would love to see them beat city.

Fcuking disgraceful tactics and performance absolutely shocking management. Well deserved sunderland.

well deserved Sunderland? They have one shot on target and our usually reliable keeper makes a howler. And Chico should have scored in extra time to give us the deserved win. They were blessed. We were lucky to bring it to penalties in the end but my god how bad were they. As much as some posters would like to you can't blame Moyes for them.

Moyes must be regretting coming to United after watching that penalty shootout. We really are terrible.

Please let us sign Mata tomorrow so we can draw a line under this piss poor season and attempt to start fresh. We really need Rooney and RVP back ASAP. Want Moyes to have a fully fit squad for the run in so he at least gets a fair go at it.

edgecutter

Sunderland were the dominant force. We were always under pressure and couldn't dominate the game. What excuses can we give Moyes, because I have had enough of this rubbish.

BREAKING NEWS: Juan Mata arrested after being caught reversing his way back down the M6.

Sirsok

It was like they didn't want to win it.

The negativity caught up with United there

This is what happens when a manager from a small team comes to a big player in the world of football. He brings his mentality of small team with him.

Moyes has destroyed our team, I really wanted to give him another chance. I was thinking after the supposed Mata transfer, fair play to Moyes and maybe things are turning around now but they arent, far from it

Moyes is destroying our team, why people fail to see this ill never know. He's tactics tonight were shocking. Utd dont ****ing play like that, its not in our makeup and should never be.

What a horrible performance the players should be ashamed of themselves. Midfield is a joke.

dubmick

This is the most f*cking torturous season as a United fan...and I remember finishing 13th in the old division one

MagicMarker

Where the **** was Evra for the penalties?? Our bloody Captain should be stepping up.

I would have had De Gea take a peno before Jones ffs.

ffs we are ****ing awful. Its just so down heartening that we are this bad. ****ing pathetic to play for the 1-0. That is ****ing Everton style, not utd.

It's Moyes' style, nothing to do with Everton. I'm just happy he's someone else's problem now.

Lord TSC

Was interesting to see Moyes just run down the tunnel as soon as the match was over. No attempt to apologies to fans, no show of anger at the players.

You do wonder how much longer he has now that our one chance of silverware, and the one redeeming factor this season just went up in smoke.

FutureGuy

Even though there are reports trickling in that he has signed, I won't believe it until I see Mata in a United shirt.

master-t

Sign Mata. NOW. Then, sign some f**king steel in the middle of the park. A leader, or at least a player with some balls and courage. Fletch played with some tenacity tonight - and look how far he has come given his serious illness. The rest of them looked like they couldn't give a sh1t.


Awful stuff. Really and truly awful.


Welbeck - what the hell does he offer us?


Valencia - The most 1 dimensional player Ive ever set eyes upon.


Januzaj - I feel bad for him. He's 18, his debut season, and we expect him to win us games.


Kagawa - Again, another disappointing performace, AND he played the majority of his time in his 'favourite' position.

Ger Rooney and RvP back ASAP.

Get Mata over the line ASAP.

SIGN A CM!!!!

The_Kew_Tour

If anybody compares Andy Cole to Welbeck again they should get year ban.

Fletcher the only one with balls.

Still though today im still more happy then sad. Which is little weird

Those penalties though, you have to laugh. ABU's in wonderland again.
Better get that Mata deal done quick before he changes his mind

welbeck should have at least hit the target but seriously lad donovan is 31 plays in a poor league would not be worth the fee. im sure we could do better than welbeck for backup striker but donovan is not the answer.

i feel bad saying it but adnans peno was awful too. never like players taking short run ups and almost felt he was gonna miss when i saw how short a run up he was gonna take.

its the league cup not worth crying over and bar a poor mistake which has become a rare sight from de gea we would have went through.

We need more than him. Mata needs to get the ball and we can't keep it.

FutureGuy

BBC say bid accepted!!!!!

Giruilla

Everyone should forget the penalties and de gea. The football united are playing is shocking and they never deserved to go through anyway.

Subbing Kagawa off for Valencia was a disgrace. Sickened that Moyes did that.

Headshot

I supposed upside, we wont get destroyed by city lol

alchemist33

The only player I fancied to score in the shootout was Fletcher. It's about confidence and balls and I just knew Welbeck, Jones, Raf and Jan (who was fantastic otherwise) would fail. With Rooney, RVP and Carrick on the pitch, we'd have won.

Although it should never have got that far in the first place.

ParkRunner

Blessing in disguise. I said last weekend I hope United don't get through to the final as Man City would steamroll over this United team within 20 minutes. A huge embarrassment tonight but will avoid yet another embarrassment in March. Cementing a Europa Cup place is all left to fight for

djPSB

What's the Mata?

supersean1999

Iv seen enough of welbeck now to want him out he is just so overrated it's unreal. I'd love him to be sold in the summer . A lot more should go too. Val. Evra. Ferdinand. Buttner. Cleverley won't go imo and I'd say hernandez or kagawa will be gone.that was pathetic tonight. None of the players mentioned have proved good enough.7 players need clearing out. With mata Powell and 5 more replacing them. Rebuilding this squad is a big job. moyes needs time

FutureGuy

@BBCSport: Manchester United's bid for Juan Mata, believed to be in the region of £37m, is accepted by Chelsea subject to a medical on Thurs #MUFC #CFC

The_Kew_Tour

David De Gea should be last person anybody should be pointing finger at.

Short memories.

ManofStraw

That really was pathetic, hanging on at home against one of the worst teams in the league. Players looked frightened and whats really scary is that Sunderland looked so much more comfortable then us on the ball. Those penalty's were dreadful, but leaving those aside, what has happened to that team I was watching the match thinking "how did we become so disjointed". The match really encapsulates our season we always look like conceding a late goal lately.
I'm not sure if it is the players, Moyes, injuries or just bad luck, but something is just not right in the team.

I am increasingly asking myself, where do we go from here, it seems to me that either we get rid of the manager, or we have a massive clearout of players

NTMK

Almost there................

Quandary

Not a surprising result the way the season has gone so far.

Looks like Carrick might be out for a while after going off tonight too.

The midfield is almost non existent at this stage. Getting Mata will be brilliant, but we have to add another body to CM. What's the story with Fellaini, is he back training with the first team yet?

Said it when the goal went in that it would be unfair on him to point the finger. It was a howler but it happens to the best players. He has performed excellently this season.

Fletcher was the only player who stepped up that looked confident. I honestly did not expect Raf, Jones and Januzaj to score, but their efforts were poor. Welbeck is a joke. You would expect your striker to at least get a penalty on target. The sooner we get RVP and Rooney back the better.

Without turning this into a Kagawa debate i thought we at least looked like creating something with him on the pitch, Welbeck was awful.

Indeed he and Valencia another who showed cowardice in just leaving young lads to step up and take responsibility

Fellaini, Mata, Rooney RVP along with possible new LB would be ****ing huge.

The only competition that we were capable of winning and could have given Moyes a trophy that he desperately needs, I would say that this cup was worth crying over.

Besides, the football has been dire, we are not putting away teams. Can we expect to get forth with this type of football? I don't think so.

bmcc10

Smalling was very good that's one positive so expect to see him RB on Tuesday.

Whatsisname

Feels like RVP and Rooney are never going to come back

Montroseee

Kagawa poor yet again and in his best position, what will the dreamers say? Will they call a spade a spade at this stage? Who cares anyway as he'll rightly be shipped out in the Summer as it looks like we have just signed Mata - a real world class playmaker.
