You know, I had a feeling it was him. And while his isn't any sort of confirmation, adds weight maybe to my own thoughts on the situation.

There has been something extremely weird and odd about how Mourinho has spoken about Rooney, and the striking position since he took over. He hasn't really been that complimentary about Rooney(someone going to drop quotes now where he has)

I took it as Rooney getting a little kick up the arse, cause he has been dog ****, and Mourinho looking to put some pressure on to get him firing.

On the flipside, maybe a little birdie has told him about Rooney's carry on, and we have seen Mourinho's nuclear reaction to players going behind his back.

Be interesting to keep an eye on over the season

It'll be really interesting to see what happens with Rooney. I'd say he has a very short time to prove himself with Jose.

Thankfully for you lot it seems that Jose won't be indulging him with ideas of a CMF spot if he's not up to being a striker.

His agent is a knob and Rooney has been so poor that he would do anything to cling to the position he has at the club.

I think you jumping on this is as silly as jumping on the Giggs rumours.

There's just not enough evidence for a witch hunt.

This is no surprise. Rooney and his agent have form for using the media to shape an agenda. It happend plenty when Rooney wanted to go to Chelsea in 2013 - there was some deceitful media tricks pulled that Summer.

Rayne Wooney

Rooney and his agent are well versed in the politics of football, Jose should make it clear from the start where he stands.

The last thing we need is more dressing room conflict after Moyes and Van Gaal.

It's best José nips this ASAP, before Rooney's head inflates any further than it has.

He was playing at the Euros until Sunday, nothing was going to begin until this week.

This happens every summer where people set arbitrary deadlines and then get annoyed when nothing happens by them. If it happens, it happens.

That's cool, I'm sure there are fans like that. Just with the progressive business that has been done so far under Jose, I had a feeling for a week or so that Pogba was truly on the way. That feeling is just dying down now for me and I don't think it's as likely to happen as I thought it was a week ago, that's all I'm saying. I'm not annoyed, just I bought into the tornado of press surrounding Pogba coupled with Jose's evident desire to get business done early.

If it happens, it happens, but I'm losing the feeling I had that it is an imminent transfer.

Edit: I should add that I know that nothing would be done with the player at the Euro's. It's more his agent's latest comments regarding the possibility of Pogba remaining at Juve. I just get the feeling there could be an element of 'Use United to get a sweeter contract at the current club' going on, and that wouldn't be the first time it's happened to us.

Wijnaldum or Sissoko? If Pogba goes tits up. I don't think we would entice Kroos or Verrati and I can't think of any other attainable players.

Don't think we will go in for Kante.

The reason behind my belief is multi part.

1) He has coveted the United job for a long time and I believe that he will do everything in his power to hold onto it including not getting himself in some of the more ugly scrapes he has been involved in.

2) He has said his family are settled in England, there is no other place in England for him to go.

3) He idolises Fergie and wants to emulate his achievements, that cannot be done in 3 seasons.

4) Chelsea is Romans plaything and ultimately he calls the shots, the set up at United is completely different and its been proven that when things are going well on field then the board is happy.

5) There is no bigger job in world football left for him.

6) United have the money and reach for him to achieve any aspirations he may have.

7) I believe he wants to prove he can be more than a 3 season wonder.

Some of the above are based on fact, some are my opinions, I of course could be proven wrong but its my firm belief that if he wins the PL in the next 3 seasons (I believe we will) and can go deep in the CL, maybe pick up a side cup or two then there will be no reason for the board to sack him and no reason for him to look elsewhere.

I think he'll defo win the league with ye the problem is that when things go wrong with Jose they can go very wrong. Its not liked Chelsea sacked him when they were flying high... he's abrasive and confrontational. United will hold their manager to the same standards that most clubs will (from a pr perspective rather than a results one) and he'll have to show he's changed on that front if he's to stay at United for more than 3 years. There's a reason why a large enough portion (but still obv minority) of United fans didn't want him regardless of the fact he will likely have a very successful spell.

That all being said i fully expect him to win at least a league with United. Maybe more.

Supposedly we will know about Pogba by tomorrow. I hope José has the sense to move on from him if it's still up in the air and dragging on...

I don't think we will he is in la now bumped into to ibra over there. I can't see it been settled anytime soon and even if it was done United wouldn't announce it until he was there to take his pictures and do his generic interview.

I wonder did he get a call from Madrid to say stay put this year and we will be able to take you next year?
I'd say Jose will give it until the end of the month before looking elsewhere, he has stated no deadline day transfers and wanting his main signings done ahead of the charity shield

Yeh I said the same if we can get Memphis into form it would be a fantastic addition to the squad the bunch of players under 23 at the club really gets me excited for the future if they all settle and most importantly jose settles.

Is James Wilson still at the club?? I think it's time the club show him the door. He's had a couple of chances and hasn't really shown much. Plus i heard he didn't have a great Loan last season - was on the bench ( may be wrong about that, I feel like I heard it somewhere).

He's 20 years old now and should be looking for first team football, which I can't seem him getting here

Still at the club. If he is happy to stay and fight I would be happy to see him do so.

We have already sold Ashley Fletcher and I would sell Will Keane before Wilson, which puts Wilson in a decent squad place, imo.

If he's happy and the club are happy, then there's no problem but I would think he would want more than to be just a squad option. Who knows

Playing in LVG's system where players weren't allowed run towards the opposition didn't help Depay.Jose's counter attack could suit him down to the ground.

In an era where physical development is so important more players will break through in their 20s.

Some players will only show their best when playing with the right quality around them. A lot of young lads that go on loan will struggle to make a major impact due to a number of reasons (experience, ability of team, style of football, manager selecting senior players and so on). I don't think his loan move should be held up as an indicator of what he can achieve.
