He has been rested plenty of times. England's best player v Wales and will be back in team next game along with Kyle walker, rose and alli

But that's my Issue. Up until now we didn't have a manager willing to drop rooney when he was being carried by the team for a lot of the early part of the season. Or also to rest him for couple of games when it was apparent he needed it. Same could not be said for memphis or herrera and co who were dumped on the back of some dodgy games. Herrera in particular who was never given a consistent run in the team and who was criticised for playing forward passes instead of possession play. Yet rooney was given a free pass in the team irregardless of his dreadful performances at the expense of others who deserved to start.
Now I agree he has improved in final games of season and has looked good at times for England in the Euros. If his form continued and peaked again I would be delighted to see him in our starting xi. But if he reverts to last seasons form or worse than he should be on the bench irregardless of his status. And I think Jose is the perfect man to do that. Remember this is the same wayne rooney who the previous season was abysmal and last summer promised how he was rejuvenated and would expect 20+ goals now that he was the main striker.
Let's hope he has a good euro tournament and a good preseason and then address whether he deserves to be in the team. But if he doesn't then he shouldn't, simple as

Made a nice track back to break up an attack straight after been in the opposition box on an attack.

Dier is quality. I think I'd rather him at United ahead of Alli.

He's sent in some better set pieces than Henderson too.

Dier is defensive midfielder/centre defender, alli is no10 attacking midfielder, completely different positions

Alli is the one that got all the hype during the season, what I meant was if United were to test Spurs' resolve this summer, I'd rather they tried to sign Dier instead.

We don't need him though, we have plenty of players who are better in same position

Whatever just as long as he brings him back haha.

Looking like madrid will be he first choice anyway by stories today from his agent but that don't have to be a bad thing if they want to raise some cash with James and we jumped at them.

Enjoy, but when we lose make sure you put on your best sad face and stop singing songs. Don't look in any way like you're enjoying yourself abroad because that's the worst thing in the world according to some folk on boards.

No the worst thing in the world is to take a picture or video of yourself while your having the craic that really gets on the nerves.

How dare you share your adventures of a lifetime with others.

Raiola is quoted in Italy to have said (paraphrased) that it is his belief that Zlatan wants to move to United to inflict revenge on Guardiola.

Lithium93_

Raiola also said that Manchester United are Henrikh Mkhitaryan's 'dream club'..

http://www.espn.co.uk/football/story/2898646/henrikh-mkhitaryan-wants-to-join-dream-club-from-borussia-dortmund

Such an offer to join Manchester United might only come once in a lifetime for a player and nobody can guarantee us that the door will still be open for Micki next season. Manchester are Micki's dream club, he wants to join them by any means.

In all seriousness, what's the story with Zlatan? I thought I read here that he had entered himself in the Olympic team. Anyone hazard a guess at when he might sign or when we might get confirmation that he isn't signing? It would be nice to get it wrapped up either way sooner rather than later.

At least the Euros are giving a slight break from the wild transfer speculation for a bit.

so i cant mention Fellaini but everyone else can

I read somewhere that the Olympic squads have to be confirmed by mid July. He is in the provisional 30 man panel.

It's my opinion that if he does sign for United that it is stipulated that he doesn't go and play in the Olympics. He would have no proper preseason and no proper rest.. I think that it's important for a player at a new club to have a full preseason if at all possible. I know players who sign for new clubs in the January window don't have that luxury but where possible as in this situation I think he should take 3 weeks off after the Euros and start training with United (should we sign him)..

Yes
Cos the rest of us don't love him as much as you
It's bordering on stalkerism on your part

The whole if we'd 11 Fellaini we'd win everything
How he's a better keeper than big Dave
That he should be wpoty every year
How Messi wouldn't lace his boots on Fellaini's worst day

Seriously we get it
You love the big guy
Please stop with it .....

Gabby Heinze did just that and went to the Olympics with Argentina before he finally decided to turn up at OT.

Remember Ferguson being particularly p*ssed about it - something about "we won't know what he looks like when he does arrive. He could have a beard" or some rant along those lines

Kolo Toure has said he is very happy for and proud of Eric Bailly, and the Ivory Coast is honoured by his move to United.
