Manchester United Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 2016

Well, I don't think its the right signing for us and I'm not convinced he will have any greater impact than the last few older highly paid superstars we wasted money on, but it seems he is on the way and thats that.

Despite my reservations I do have some faith that Jose isn't just blinded by the name here, that he has a plan and that he knows what he wants from Zlatan, I think Jose can be astute in his signings and have to respect that he sees this as a good deal.

Thankfully we aren't talking some overrated scrub here, if we are going to make a signing I disagree with at least its for a top striker and not some one season wonder.

Hopefully he proves me wrong, gets a strong start and makes a real impact in the league this season.

Ha I've just been onto the United site and the jersey thing is real. Hope someone hasn't hacked it and is playing with us.

You heard his ideas on how England can do better? Hire from within, get someone like Gareth and a mentor in to guide him and take the pressure off, like a Hoddle, Fergie or LVG.

You're talking about England Ryan, right?

Tis mad that it looks like two players have been signed and we have found out by one announcing it himself on social media and the other because his jersey is on sale on the megastore!!

A bit strange.

Really looking forward to see how Ibra gets on,didnt have a great Euro's but I dont think that will effect him one bit, really hope he settles and does the biz.
