Manchester United Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 2016

Seems like Jose has pulled out of Soccer Airpd to focus on his job as United manager.

Shame. Was looking forward to it, but maybe they realised his first game in the home dugout should be an official game.

I'd say its an excuse, because he'd know any press done for it would be dominated by United questions. He still hasn't given an official press conference so I'd imagine it was pull out of the game now so he can skip overshadowing the event.

It has to be to avoid the press because seemingly he is still training the team. Pity its always fun to see him having a laugh and an obligatory trip of a fella running past.

Trigger

Is there anyone reliable reporting it.. the Sun are saying that he has pulled out and the Mirror is saying his appearance is in doubt.. I can't see anything from anyone else on the matter

Casillas started for Spain friendly and Sergio Rico replaced him.

Is Del Bosque mad enough not to start DeGea number 1?

In fairness Hughes isn't the one club legend Giggs is - can't see him being accepted by Leeds fans or it going down too well with the United fans (if that bothers him)

Its going to be a tricky move for him if he does decide to go. He'll need to go somewhere he has a chance of success but not burn the bridges with United if he wants to some day return to manage the club.

Note this may all be b*ll*x - he may fall flat on his face ala Neville and ruin his chances within 6 months of his first job if he makes a b*lls of it

Hopefully he was just giving Dave a rest. Wouldn't be surprised to see Casillas in front of him or for them to at least rotate game by game.

Did Casillas or the other guy let in the goal last night? I think Dave kept a clean sheet the other night?

The guy is literally made of foam. I'd say he signed the contract hooked up in a hospital bed somewhere with a pen in his mouth.

I was just going to say this. He's currently recovering from a dislocated knee cap according to the article. He can arrange for a seat in the stands beside the seemingly perma -crocked Vincent Kompany. We've plenty of midfielders. I don't think we missed much.

He's a great player if he could last a season I'd love to see him play for us. If they can keep him alive for long enough could do a great job for them.

Sparky burned me with the move to City, was delighted to see him doing well before that, it has taken me a long time to get it out of my system and wish his Stoke team well as long as it doesn't negatively impact ourselves obviously.

Jayop

I've no time for him. The move to City as well as years of moaning about United have burnt that bridge.

Anyone rate defender Manolas for Roma?

He's been linked but I don't know much to be honest.

Football365 taking clickbait to even lower levels, blatant lie in the link about the players actually mentioned just to get the click. Ive now unfollowed them and wont be back to the site.

Oh come on,he is a United hero! Will never forget his great goals for United and that pass for Whitesides goal in the 1985 FA Cup Final

He has had a very good season with roma and is a very fast defender thats all i know about him but would probably cost us alot of cash.

Cantona's Collars

Manchester United have sold out season tickets for next season following Jose Mourinho's appointment as manager.

Thousands of season ticket holders hesitated on renewing while Louis van Gaal remained in charge, with the midweek April win over Crystal Palace noticeable for the swathes of empty seats, and United put back the renewal date to June 1.

But following Friday's Mourinho announcement, United confirmed supporters had snapped up season tickets for 2016-17 at Old Trafford.

As of mid-April, a source told M.E.N. Sport that season ticket sales were at a record low, mainly due to the antipathy with the tedious football United were playing under Van Gaal.

I was told by people in Manchester that if LVG stayed on,the season tickets would not be renewed by folk who had gone to OT for years and even decades.It's amazing how the mood has changed now he is gone and hope is renewed for the coming season.

Hococop

Speaking of tickets, I know there is a separate thread but a few of us of looking at heading to the community shield, just wonder the price range (cheapest I've seen is £100) and chances of getting tickets

The idea that all Hernandez could do is finish chances is pure rubbish. He might not have been Drogba but his all-round game was far, far better than some people want to give him credit for.

For one season it was good, his second last, then in his final year at United he was very poor

Playing in a long-ball team then a pass,pass,don't create chances team didn't help.He scored again last night for Mexico.

Ruud would have struggled to hit double figures under those regimes,never mind Chicharito.

Good man Jose,keeping Dave would be his first transfer win even before we look to sign anyone else.

That he wasn't performing doesn't mean that he couldn't perform.

Having a bad time of it under Van Gaal does not mean that he had no ability other than finishing.

Mate of mine left it to Monday to renew - don't think he would have done if VG was still there (I certainly wouldn't have bothered travelling next season to see more of the sh*t I went to see this season)

Burnt him on the exchange rate though - cost him about 120 more renewing on Monday v when the renewal letter came out.

Good man José indeed, it is crucial De Gea is kept out of the grubby hands of Real Madrid.

The waiting list has always been fictional. The only real waiting list was people waiting to move to a different section.

Correct. Anytime Ive been on the waiting list, Ive gotten a call less than 24 hours later offering me tickets. Smoke and mirrors

Never really was a waiting list.
They had to extend the time they were on sale as sales were at a record low,the LVG effect.People pay to be entertained and started voting with their feet.

Looks like Michael Carrick will be staying @ManUtd. One year deal should be concluded in next week or so.

Coat22

Couple of questions:

- Do United get a bye from the 3rd round of the League Cup because they are in the EL?
- Do the Friday night games start this season coming?
- If a team is playing in the EL on a Thursday can they be picked for the Monday night game earlier in the same week?

Would you guys like us to sign Henrikh Mkhitaryan ?
