Yeah but I never heard his name before our interest. I was talking about big players whom I never thought will be at ManUtd just a year or 2 back.

'Mickey Ryan' is the limit of my efforts until we sign him.

Welcome to Manchester, Henrikh Mkhitaryan. My own memory aid for the spelling, in case it helps anyone else...

'Mk' - Dons, won't be forgetting them for a long time.
'hit-a-ryan' - Most people know a Ryan they would like to hit on occasion.

I'm really delighted with this signing, and the clubs business in particular so far this Summer. After the last few years, it's nice to be feeling like this for a bit...

MKHitARyan spelling is all well and good. I've still no clue as to how to pronounce it.

He had better perform well enough to justify me having to remember how to spell and pronounce his name. Or else.

The Micky Ryan sh*t bugging me already. We've heard enough about Ryan's mickey in recent years

So what will be the front set up, and where does Rooney fit in? Jose seemed to say yesterday that Rashford is 2nd striker to Zlatan, so I assume we have

Zlatan (Rashford as sub)
Martial MRyan

Memphis Matudie Morgan

The nickname his team mates at Dortmund used was Micki. I missed the announcement as I watched Cilic v Federer, talk about doing everything to lose the hard way...

I believe we will sign Pogba, too much money involved for it not to happen for Raiola, and only United prepared to pay the fee, agent fee and wage that is being asked for.
The question will be who will he play with in midfield, at least it is not Rooney, never liked that idea, even if he had a few good games there but thankfully Mourinho put that idea in a coffin and buried it.

Get the feeling that it's the agent that wants Pogba to sign and not Pogba himself. Think he'd sooner go to Madrid and if that's the case I'd rather not have him. Smell of Di Maria all over it

Son Of A Vidic

Delighted to see that United have updated the jersey of our latest signing.....





:pac:

Not getting carried away with it.

Van Gaal's first summer we got Shaw, Herrera, Rojo, Blind, Di Maria and Falcao. I'm more interested to see Mourinho getting a response from the existing squad and then the compliment of new players.

Although at the same time, Zlatan trumps all.

Mkhitaryan says he is friends with Januzaj and after Adnan had returned from Dortmund they stayed in touch with Januzaj asking him if he would be joining them.

Be interesting to see if Jose can resurrect Januzaj's career.

A claim by AS in Spain that United have bid €115 million for Pogba after €95 million was rejected.

http://en.as.com/en/2016/07/06/football/1467807936_823311.html

The French midfielder is a favourite of Zinedine Zidane, but Mourinho is out to lay down a marker at Manchester United, and an offer has been tabled at around €115 million after a €95M bid was rejected.

I'm not going to lie lads, I'm very excited.

Seeing Henry play last season I thought to myself he would be a whopper signing for United.

But like Ronaldinho, Robben and Sneijder before him, I didn't want to get my hopes up only to see them dashed when a rival swoops in and signs them with no fuss while we fanny around.

Thank you jose and thank you Ed, you've made me very very happy.

Martial, Zlatan, Mkhitaryan.

Not the front line I expected this time last year :eek:


Jose: http://www.manutd.com/en/News-And-Features/Football-News/2016/Jul/Jose-Mourinho-tells-MUTV-why-he-signed-Henrikh-Mkhitaryan.aspx?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=ManUtd

“Micki is a fantastic player and what I like more is something that is undeniable, which is the number of goals that he scores by not being a striker. His number of goals per season is really high for somebody that is not a striker. The number of assists is also very clear because it shows clearly his creativity, his vision and his concept of collective play, and that is something that I believe is really important for a club like us.

“We try to be dominant and will, for sure, face teams with a very defensive profile which is his capacity of acceleration of the game. He has a change of speed with the ball and without the ball, and that is very, very important for a club like ours.”

On the Wednesday night phone in on MUTV, the fly is back in the studio...and they dropped enough hints that the 4th player is Pogba without saying his name, they seem confident.

What kinda things were they saying? The miss's is watching big brother so I smog course in a different room to that non-sence

They were saying the 4th player is currently playing in France.
Then they were talking about Mourinho saying they got the player voted best in France last year and the player voted by the fellow players as the best in Germany last year, and the guys in studio said the 4th player the best player in Italy last year.
They just seemed very confident about Pogba returning without actually mentioning his name.
They were also very happy about the last two signings with Micki and Zlatan and the goals they should bring.
Just a very positive feeling tonight on MUTV.

I don't think Jose will have any interest in resurrecting his career, that will have to come from the lad himself.

IMO, if the likes of Rashford, Fosuh-Mensah or any young player are good enough and show their potential then Mourinho will play them, but he won't waste time trying to tease good performances out of the likes of Januzaj if they keep coming on and having stinkers. He has bigger goals than making Januzaj a top player, so if Januzaj wants to be a part of it then its up to him to show the improvement.

I'm sorry. I made it for me, to accomplish some good, a placeholder to last until rumour became fact or until my brain became accustomed to an unholy sequence of consonants. In the time that followed though, I returned to see that it had gone on to find its own place in the world.

"Godspeed and fair fortune" I would say, if it were still leaving a positive footprint, but I never created it with the intention to vex or irk. Especially not with the delightful ambiance around these parts as of late. Now though, out of my reach and out of my control, it probably wouldn't even recognise me, its old lonely master, were it to see me in the street.

I now watch despondent from afar, knowing that I created it but never will be able to kill it.

Sky Sports expected to announce tomorrow what matches they will be showing.
Oh yeah they will likely be in UHD too if you have a UHD tv.
