I just can't see Rooney being left out. There's such much inertia with a player like him in getting him out of the team. Jose has said he's still captain too.

Agreed. Rooney wil play at least for the first part of the season. If he isn't playing well though Id say he will be on the bench quick enough.

Thats pretty much the team I'd select too. No Rooney near the 1st eleven.

Backup team then:
Romero

TFM
Jones
Blind
Rojo

Carrick
Bastian
Mata

Lingard
Depay
Rashers

Jesus, thats a little over exaggerated. There were many games last season when Rooney was our best player. He wont be a consistent starter but will be rotated to get plenty of game time.

Just thinking about this, maybe PP will be given the armband. I mean, they really must be selling the whole 'you are the future centre piece of this squad' to get him to leave CL, and potential CL challenger, for a least a year.

Rooney is on the way out, if not this year then I would expect PP to take over as Capt for the start of next season. But if Jose has any sense he will make PP the pitch capt and allow Rooney to stay as club capt

S.M.B.

Sure make him assistant manager while you're at it.

Lads is there a manager press conference any time soon??

I would prefer that, but I get the feeling we'll be shoehorning Rooney in no matter what, for better or for worse. We'll likely see Blind at CB too at least in the early going, in my opinion.

World class managers get the best out of players I have a lot more confidence in jose getting more out of rooney then the previous two.

You're not supposed to talk about those games on here, it doesn't suit the anti-Rooney agenda at all. He's our worst player by far, get over it.

We heard that from several managers,what do they all have in common? They were sacked.Shoehorning players into the team because of who they are instead of form never works.

All Hail the Anti Rooney Brigade for they know all!!







Disclaimer: Rooney should be used selectively and accept his role as a squad rotation player but he should certainly play a lot of our big games.

Off the ball had a story this evening about CBJ and Fosu Mensah being told they can find new clubs for the coming season. Surely it's total BS, would make no sense.

They got it from the Mail,TFM has been given a new squad number and is injured,so is CBJ.
Some players will be sold or loaned out but the papers jumped on the clickbait headline of "9 Players told to find new clubs".Absolute bollix.

We wont be short of egos at the club for sure by the look of it, something we really lacked the last few years if you think about it.

Jose,
Pogba,
Zlatan,
Martial (not entirely so, but he is French and that "9" Gate drama at the weekend shows his self confidence and sense of entitlement)

And of course, Captain Ego himself, Michael Carrick.....................

But seriously, Van Gaal ws more stubborn and moody than egotistical, Moyes you felt always felt intimidated and out of depth, Rooney is confident, a grump at times but down to earth.

There was a fear factor the last few years, a sense of intimidation often and acceptance as to the quality of the squad.

Great article about Zlatan,the man is all about perfection.I await the time he calls for a simple pass and Rooney ignores him to play his floaty pass to the right wing.

Which will probably be the better option.

jimmytwotimes 2013

Is 4-2-3-1 our most likely formation?

De Gea
Darmian Smalling Bailly Shaw
Pogba Schneiderlin
Mkhitaryan Rooney Martial
Ibrahimovic

Plenty will disagree. You could have Valencia for Darmian (I suspect mourinho wud prefer a new signing). Bailly is an unknown and again I think mourinho wud rather have a more experienced CB there for now.

If Rooney isn't up to it, Herrera cud play 10, so cud Mata or u cud move Mkhitaryan in and put Young, Lingard or Rashford out right.

CR 7

Where's the line to buy tickets for the positivity cruise ship? Tomorrow I'm expecting:

1. Pogba signing announcement
2. Frank Ocean's new album

What games would they be? Would it be 2, maybe 3? From the captain, 20+ a year striker, senior squad member and highest paid player he managed to be the best performing player at best 5 times?

Yes, cause that is the same thing!

Bringing a top tier player to your team takes more that just money, he can get money from lots of clubs. He is about prestige, power and standing in the game.

Lots of players move clubs and are made capt right away. Mainly Rooney is Capt because of his ego anyway so why is it such a stretch to think that Pogba would now be looking at it

Rooney earned that captaincy and I wouldnt call him egotistical at all. But his fellow players respected him and listened to him and he had a voice and never stopped trying. He was a great example. And that is what captaincy is about.
In my opinion, Pogba wouldn't have that influence on this team for at least a season or two. He is only barely just turned 23 and has just entered the squad

It's gas, we have signed

Eric Bailly
Henrik mkhitarayan
Zlatan ibrahimovic
Nearly Paul pogba

3 genuine world class players and one with the potential to be the best centre halve in the world

Jose mourinho is our manager

yet some people are still not happy, "we need another cb, we need a right winger, we need another midfielder"

No wonder other fans hate Man Utd. I have friends who support Aston villa, Leeds United and even fecking Nottingham Forrest. Paul Pogba's transfer fee alone would probably buy you them clubs and here we are about to smash the world transfer fee record to sign a midfielder. We are spoilt rotten.

Time will tell but if we sign pogba, this transfer window has the potential to be one of our best in a long time.

Let the good times roll and be happy.

I agree with most of your post apart from the bolded, thats just hyping him up to the extreme

Herrera is not a top class player. I've never understood the love he gets on here. Every game I see him, he never impresses me. A mediocre player living on borrowed time I feel. Jose won't accept his hot and cold style.

Nobody said he was top class did they? He is a very good player, neat on the ball, strong in the tackle and in a better team will prove a very good player.

He's also loved as stevie me got sent off for standing on him after 30 seconds

I assume he would be in LA if he was indeed going along route 66 like his Instagram post said and someone decided to jump on it.
