Jaysus above FutureGirl...
You're a FF
The jersey is from 95-96 I think... is it the one with Old Trafford on it before the north stand was extended for the euro's when the ground was all the same level??
If so I have 6 Pallister on the back of my version of that jersey. The only jersey I ever got a name and number on.
on you're lovely footballs, I haven't a breeze...

The Fevernova, I remember I had that ball and it got impaled on a spiky railing after about a week.

Oh I was sour.

1996 Jersey, With I think Cantona on the back?

Just realized when Mickey Ryan signs on the dotted line, it'll be another first for the club, he'll be the first Armenian player to play for United.

So is there not a press conference scheduled today?

Zlatan to be unveiled, and isn't this José's first official day on the job?

Pre-Season season doesn't start for United until next week and Jose's first presser has always been scheduled for next Thursday.

I think they said the 5th July (could be wrong) will be the first official press conference

If Iceland could do us a favour and knock out the French

We could have some stone cold glass shattering music and Jose introducing his new friends...

Zlatan and Micky Ryan you know about......

but I got some others guys for you too...

Meet Pogba and Antonie...

Rooney would surely match the 45m spent on Hulk? I'd sell him, looks like we'll be sorted for striking options with zlatan, marshall, mickey ryan and rashers. Rooney is not a midfielder.

You'd think now is a final chance to sell. Fergie would have cut his losses if he stayed an extra season

I'm still torn about Rooney. I really couldn't give a rats ass about cashing in on him or how much we could be paid for him. All I care about is whether we'd be a better side with him next season or without him. There's no doubt he's been pretty poor for quite a while but towards the tail of the season he put in some really good performances and I would love to see how he gets on under Jose.

I'd also love to see him get the chance to set a few more records. There's a few in his sights, Notably United all-time, United League, United Europe and depending on what happens with England, if he stays on for the next campaign he'll set England Apps too.

United in press has been cancelled pal.

Usual United stunt when something major is happening.

There's no way Rooney will agree to move to China, sadly.

Why couldn't they cancel the boring season review...

There seems to be a dubious looking stain on the top that Zlatan is wearing there. Maybe not just the fans who are excited....

Mourinho: “Zlatan needs no introduction. The statistics speak for themselves. Ibra is one of the best strikers in the world & a player who always gives 100%. He has won the most important league championships in the world of football, now he was the opportunity to play in the best league in the world and I know he will grasp this opportunity and will work hard to help the team win titles."


Ibrahimovic: “I am absolutely delighted to be joining Manchester United and am looking forward to playing in the Premier League. It goes without saying that I cannot wait to work with Jose Mourinho once again. He is a fantastic manager and I am ready for this new and exciting challenge.”

Zlatan Ibrahimović said:

"I am absolutely delighted to be joining Manchester United and am looking forward to playing in the Premier League. It goes without saying that I cannot wait to work with Jose Mourinho once again. He is a fantastic manager and I am ready for this new and exciting challenge. I have thoroughly enjoyed my career so far and have some great memories. I am now ready to create more special memories in England."

Jose Mourinho said:

"Zlatan needs no introduction. The statistics speak for themselves. Ibra is one of the best strikers in the world and a player who always gives 100 per cent. He has won the most important league championships in the world of football, now he has the opportunity to play in the best league in the world and I know he will grasp this opportunity and will work hard to help the team win titles. I am certain that his talent will delight fans at Old Trafford next season and that his experience will be invaluable in helping to develop the younger players in the squad."

Feel genuinely excited about what's happening at the club for the first time in about, oh three years!!

Could we not coax him onto a plane and tell him there's Chinese food for dinner?

Hopefully they will be crowned champions next May.

United signing people that hate Pep :pac:

Are we worried about Zlatan's age at all? I know he looked in fine shape last season but how many does he have left in him?

Every season we get out of him after one season will be a bonus. He looks great and it ain't a massive risky gamble.

Giggs is going in the next few days, allegedly. Good move by Mourinho despite all the or that he was offered another position. Giggs gave the impression under Van Gaal that he was tolerating LVG until he took over.

United twitter getting seriously happy about this one ha

Rooney will either be great or terrible.

Last season he only got going in the 2nd half of the season, then when in goal scoring form he got injured, which was probably a good thing as his replacement got injured too which allowed Rashford to shine.
But we can't wait for half a season to go by before he starts performing so maybe he will be good in midfield, I do have concerns though.

If we sign Pogba it won't be so bad, but the question will continue: Is Rooney a midfielder?

I would've gone with The Joker clapping gif instead, but the Shia one works too..

Zlatan is super excited and super excited. It is a huge club. MUTV

He does look very happy and you can see his enthusiasm.

Looks like it's exactly how many predicted, Zlatan signed as short term and by the time he leaves if our young players are good enough then they will step up.

I've always thought he would make a great midfielder for certain games. He can open games up with his passing and again if we're going to play on the break which Jose likes to do then Rooney's accuracy to pacy wingers will be an awesome weapon.

Zlatan: I come to win, I want to win, It takes hard work. Representing United is the big thing.
I come here to win, not look at the weather.

ElChe32

"I have come here to win, not to waste time" - Zlatan

Quandary

Rooney is fine in midfield when given time and space and is playing against weaker teams. Apart from than that he should only be played at 10 or up front imo.

I could see Jose giving Rooney a run in midfield but if he continues to perform like he did for England and in some of our games last season I'd say it will be a short run.
