A 35 year old Zlatan struggling with the pace and physicality of the league probably won't be playing against Liverpool or City.

He never relied on pace and how is he struggling physically he is massive.

It's an insanely stupid analysis of Ibra.

F*cking hell. Whatever about lack of space or the pace of the game, if there's one thing Zlatan wouldn't struggle with its physicality. The lad is a tank and his physicality is one of his biggest assets nowadays.

You seem like a nice chap and what not and i like reading your contributions for the most part in the Man Utd super thread but your obsession with Fellaini is bordering on manical at this stage... I'd imagine if United sold him you'd be still giving out on a daily basis until the day he is lying in the cold ground... drop it.. book yourself a spa weekend with the wife... or the neighbours wife and forget all about Fellaini... the genius that he is and the haircut and the elbows...

It really is ridiculous by now. I don't like Fellaini either. I would be happy for him to be sold. He seems a nice guy and all, and he did work into having a role in the team last year, but I think that was largely down to the awful style of football we were playing and the lack of performances LVG was getting out of our midfield. He's always like a physical, dirty player to do the 'mopping up' and Fellaini was the only guy who really suited the role.

I wouldn't be raging if he were kept as a bit of a fringe player or whatnot, but don't think him being a prominent player in the squad ties in well with our chances of getting back where we need to be.

But the daily 'I hate Fellaini' updates got tiresome years ago.

Neymar's agent Ribeiro has said three teams are ready to activate Neymar's buyout clause which allows him to speak to the team activating the buyout clause.
The three teams are believed to be United, PSG and Real Madrid.
He probably stays at Barcelona.

He'll sign a new contract at barca in the next couple of weeks.

He's a 19 year old left footed very fast and skillful right winger that plays for Bordeaux.. don't know much on him but he is supposed to be very highly rated.

Wikipedia and who scored told me he is a young attacking midfielder that likes to dribble a lot and shoots from distance.

I'll have a scout of him on football manager later and I'll be fully up to speed

He reminds me of Ben Arfa/Thauvin anytime I saw him play, has a lot of potential, what he does with it is the question

Really, He is a great dribbler with a good shot

Would either of those be Walcott's forte

We have been linked with Adam Ounas for a couple of weeks or more at this stage. Looks like it may happen.
Another player we are linked with is Breel Embolo who plays for Basel/Switzerland, should see him play tonight.

'Sin' to abandon attempts of Man Utd move, says agent

The agent of Henrikh Mkhitaryan said it would be wrong to abandon attempts to get the Borussia Dortmund midfielder a move to Manchester United.

This French game is "The Paul Pogba Show"

I'm loving the players we are linked with. Mkhitaryan is very good and from his agents comments its certain we want him and he wants to come. I reckon that will happen. They may get a player off us in return maybe on loan if anyone interests them to sweeten the deal.

Pogba is showing his worth there now in that Switzerland game. It would take disgusting amounts of money to buy him but its not my money so Id love United to try. Im imagining Schneiderlin and Pogba behind Rooney in midfield with Martial and Mkhitaryan playing wide either side of Zlatan.

Even without Pogba I think if we tried to get Kroos or someone of a high calibre we could have a beast of a team next season. Just need to get deals done as soon as possible after these Euros end.

Ryan Giggs is on the verge of leaving Manchester United and taking up the Nottingham Forest manager's job, according to reports.
According to the Manchester Evening News, the bookmakers' odds on Giggs becoming Forest boss have been slashed, coming in from 33/1 to as little as 1/2.

Hope it happens. Id be cheering him on.

I hate news reports that are based on betting odds. All a sharp drop indicates is someone put a load of money on it, not that the bookies actually have inside info...

Embolo is very raw. You can see somthing is there but will need a lot of work

Pogba was fantastic in the opening 30 mins, has trailed off and looks tired now, Embolo hasn't done much but its been a poor game overall

So for those of you who feel Giggs should head out and prove himself (a fair argument) what has he to do with Forrest(if it is true) in the next 3 years, assuming Mourinho puts in his usual stint, to be in line for the job?

Get the Madrid job after his first season. Win the Champions League back to back. Then maybe...

People don't know to be honest. I think no matter what giggs does he will be a risky appointment by United.

If he went and got forrest promoted and kept them in premiership it would be great for him but still why should he be considered for the United job if we are not prepaired to consider someone like mark Hughes.

I think it will take an outstanding achievement for giggs to ever get the United job.

Honestly for him to be considered

Id like to see him get Forest promoted and have 2 years in the league at the very least 1

This is the point for me and jayo underlined it perfectly. There is really nothing he can do, even if people are saying he needs to go out and prove himself.

So then are we willing to make risky appointments again, if say the ship gets steadied, in the hope of creating a legacy or do we bring in one experienced manager after another to do their few years?
