The Moyes stunts were a bit much. I'm always one for a bit of banter but I started feeling sorry for Moyes after a while. Everyday they had some new stunt with him.

They're seedy opportunists with a poor sense of humour. They used to be quite witty.

Keane drafted straight back into the first 11 for the u-21.


could we have done the same for Powell if he was fit and i guess, Zaha and Jesse?

Don't think Joyce was too interested in breaking up the starting XI that has been playing together the last few weeks.

Lawrence came back in for the injured Rowley and now Keane has come in for the injured Rothwell.

Very rarely see see the under 21s looking forward too this

Great move there, great cool finish

Giggs in the crowd...while its possible, surely he wouldnt be back that quick if he was meeting van Gaal in netherlands?

Fairly certain it wasn't them this time though. They know well enough that a stunt is pointless without their logo plastered over it

It was reported by the BBC that he was going to Holland today and there was a picture of him there that doesn't looked photoshopped.

It's safe enough to say he was there tbh.

There was pictures of him there

Hmmm not sure what to make of it, is this decision by lvg or is the club forcing it

Thecon21

Nice getting to watch the U21's play here, rarely get to see them play. How has Varela been doing throughout the season? Could he get a decent loan for next season or worth keeping around?

Cheers in advance

Ben Fairthorne has posted a few tweets about United.

@BFairthorne

Worked for CNN, Base Soccer, The Sun, The Mail, IPC Media, Nuts Magazine and Frank PR. Worked at football agency with predominately Arsenal and Spurs players.

@BFairthorne 58m Reus is a long term admirer of United, but agent has told Woodward any deal would be the summer of 2015 and not this one.

@BFairthorne 1h
Another meeting between Van Gaal and United set for tomorrow in Holland to discuss his transfer targets.

---

Plus other tweets United related.


If true, would happily wait a year for Marco Reus when United are back in the CL.

Reading a report by The Mirror apparently Van Gaal likes to keep on a member of the existing coaching set up when he takes over a club

They would have to offer Giggs the job? He's not coming in from the outside as they normally would.

It will just announced as van Gaal new manager assisted by united legend Giggs etc

LVG is the ultimate Alpha dog and he is one man you don't force anything with. If Giggs becomes assistant manager, it is because LVG is happy with the decision.

Manchester United have bid £30m for Strootman

Doing the rounds on Twitter, seems to be coming from the Italian press...

Brilliant Europa final going on here for anyone not watching

Rakitic is quality

Would love to get him but 30 million seems very high considering the bad injury

Blatter

The Guardian are reporting that we've increased our bid for Shaw to £30m and it's expected to be accepeted.

Seems to be happening so. Southampton would be mad to turn down that sort of money.

Not sure how boards are doing this matchmaking thing. A large part of it is probably which posts you thank. The people on my list are all people whose posts I often thank.

That Rooney picture above is ridiculous. Must be photoshopped.

I never knew he wore glasses??

sigmundv

Oh well, our young lads lost in the end. A lack of a strike force cost us. A shame we lost, but can't complain too much. Chelsea were better on the night.

Kerrydude1981

Janko was a threat until he ran out of steam.

homerjay2005

why are people even entertaining Strootman rumours, its complete nonsense.

the man is recovering from a serious knee operation and in the unlikely event we go for him its absolutely mental.

its not them i think, its a look alike couple.
