Manchester United Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread - Mod Note in OP, 25/3

A shout out to Steve Bruce the legend! - difficult season at Hull and stll took 4 points off the Pool .. really hope they stay up.

Quandary

My oh my how the tables have turned this season. that just made our job a hell of a lot easier

Sand

It'll be interesting to see if De Gea moves on the contract situation shortly - Top 4 is basically tacked on now so the rationale for not extending begin to decline week by week.

RobbingBandit

Top 4 may be all but there but it will be a while before we know if it's Champions League or Europa which is the closer for DDG.

bangkok

We should really push on now and go for 2nd and stop saying we only need 5 pts from 12

I honestly believe the whole Madrid stuff is bull****e. I think his contract will be sorted soon as CL is confirmed.

Can't see him leaving his best buds mata and Herrera either

The_Kew_Tour

Concentration should now turn to Top 3 and automatic qualification now.

All we need to do is beat Arsenal?

irishfeen

Actually just seen arsenal have a game in hand so even if we win all our games we might not finish 2nd

homerjay2005

shinji looks delighted.

Just checked there, interesting that Arsenal have hull away next also

Maybe Brucie can do the double for us

irishfeen

Hopefully Hummels & Gundogan's parting gift to Dortmund!

I hope he stays but I have my doubts. The CL qualification is understandable for an ambitious player, but once that's secured the excuses fall away. Real is a huge club, and their lure cant be underestimated for Spanish and Portuguese players, as we've already learnt to our cost.

He's going to want to see his gf a little more often than he sees Mata and Herrera. I wouldn't have any hard feelings either, so long as he doesn't waste the clubs time by stringing them along for most of the summer before leaving in August, giving little or no time to sign a proper replacement. So long as everything is cleared up one way or the other by the end of May everyone parts friends imo.

It kind of doesn't bother me all that much if he does leave either. I think Valdez is getting undeserved criticism and is a great option to have. Then there's the possible availability of both Cech or Kasper schmeical to name a few

Liam McPoyle

If Dave does leave then we should go for Cech, Jose has already proven he is willing to sell us players he deems surplus to requirements plus he would cost at least half of what Lloris would.

No brainer really.

Still though, I dont think Dave will leave.

If we can get 3rd and a couple of world class additions in the summer then Id hope that will be enough for him to stick with us, certainly for the next couple of seasons at least.

Ian Herbert from The Independent says De Gea is going stay at United.

Has to be true!!! If doom and gloom reports are believed then this can be believed as well!!

De Gea stays!

Manutd_4life

Antonio Valencia and Daley Blind were subject to harsh criticism from Louis van Gaal after the loss vs Everton. [mirror]


Hope it's true, especially to antonio.

Coincidentally the day after we effectively secure top 4.

Still not buying it, still think it was a just a fabricated story to click bait pessimistic Utd fans and ABU's and laugh at the 'demise' because we are a mid table team.

The Moldy Gowl

Time is a funny ol thing.

Pogba's agent Mino Raiola has held talks with Manchester United over a summer transfer. Pogba wants £165k a week. [France Football]

In fairness, it's not that he has been setting the world alight in recent games. May as well see how RVP doing right now.

Saw he scored in the u21 game tonight. Final score?

Looks like Falcao is going to get one final throw of the dice

RVP scored for U21's also to note

Manutd_4life

In my opinion, if rooney is out we should really let wilson play atleast two full 90 minutes out of the next 4 to see where he really is and if he should go on loan next season. Plus he brings some pace and creativity which was exactly what we lacked vs everton

It finished 4-1. RVP scored twice.

#mufc are the least interested in Memphis Depay at the moment, out of Liverpool and PSG. [ed]

Ah f**k off will you. Journalists really do my head in. One day he is nearly signed and sealed and apparently in England doing meetings with utd reps and the next day he was never interested and was only doing a bit of shopping and sight seeing

Not the time for inexperience... We are limited but RVP is our best bet if Falcao doesn't score on Saturday IMO
