This is untrue Valencia has not had one assist or goal all season he has put in some crosses and made some safe passes as usual but nothing major while Coleman has scored 3 goals from right back.

Memphis Depay and Morgan Schneiderlin set to join Everton in January

http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/manchester-united-transfer-news-memphis-12327646


Schneiderlin got less chances than Depay to prove himself, its a weird one because we are still lacking in MF but Jose just doesn't fancy him by the looks of it. I still think he's a good player that can offer us something, shame.

Depay, never showed enough, big ego too so I'm not too fussed he's going.

Also, we seem to have an agreement with Everton for first dibs or something these days.

edit: accidentally clicked on that smiley, I'm not happy about this news I swear

So we are selling Memphis it seems and freeing up the number 7 shirt for Griezmann.

Of anyone can't see the reason why evrrtons defenders looked crap under Martinez then they can't be helped.

You can know that Everton looked crap under Martinez and think Coleman is overrated at the same time, they aren't mutually exclusive.

He's a grand player and if we had him I'd play him ahead of Valencia, but he isn't somebody we should spend much time chasing either, solid 28 year old full backs aren't exactly a priority.

We overrated our younger players, same is not really norm for our established players

jayo26

Agree with buckey while I think Coleman would be an upgrade he ain't worth a chase there are plenty of adequate right backs out there.

Saying that I also thought darmian looked a lot more settled against palace in his proper position I'd like to see him getting a decent run there.

Let Everton have Depay and MS.Lukaku can go in the opposite direction in the summer.

with lukaku i dont think the talent is a problem seems to be atitude for him as to why i dont think he plays at the top of his game consistently over a season. i think thats one of the reasons why jose sold him at chelsea.

He is 23 and most young players will be somewhat inconsistent. Jose sold him when he was 20-21 and he has shown he is capable of scoring plenty of goals in the EPL .I would have no problem if he joined United and are there many better young strikers around ?
He has some way to go yet but has all the attributes to be top class.

Dont think I have ever seen anything about his attitude come up? I'd be interested in seeing something that made you form this opinion or is it just what you are seeing in matches?

Could be interesting if he is a target.

Post on r/soccer with Pogba stats with juve vs united... United stats on top in all.

Yet there is a perception that he isn't really at it.. Is it just the price tag that is clouding people's perception..

He was immense against Crystal Palace. It was like there were two of three of him on the pitch at any time.

Really found myself sitting back and thinking "Wow, he really is that good."

Mars Bar

Wouldn't surprise me seeing Memphis going to Everton. He was snapchatting with Lukaku yesterday or the day before.

Also, Gundogan did his cruciate. He's a broken human being and I'm glad we didn't go near him.

EDIT: I realise now that it could be taken the other way around and that Lukaku is joining United.

Leroy42

Lukaku and Rashford could form an amazing partnership at at least two striking options and could be at the club for years.

With the talk of transfers what do ye think Jose will look to do next in the transfer market?
My preference would be to get a successor for Carrick,he has shown this season that he is still very important for United but will be 36 by the time next season starts .With MS and BS not likely to be part of Jose plans cm will need at least one new recruit soon.

He had three poor to really poor touches early in the game, after that he looked like the Pogba we see in each game. He tries the hard pass, some come off some don't but when they do.. We have the winning moment like we did in this game.

I've been impressed by him, yet more impressed by Zlatan who we got on a free, I'd reserves on this signing, but the man has blown me away in all aspects. Larsson mkii??? He is for me. Sorry for late reply, posted in a quite moment in work drinks, over now pretty drunk. Zzzzzzzzz time feels close. Don't go drinking with mad Polish women. Fcuking vodka, yuck!!! Lol

I think a lot of the criticism he's gotten on here has been valid.
Even against Palace when he was really good overall, he was very very sloppy at times, in the first half especially. Don't mind if he's giving away possession when he's trying a difficult through ball or something but giving it away cheaply isn't good enough.

For me personally, I'm delighted he's at Utd but has been underwhelming overall so far, although I do think he's on an upward curve. I may be over critical of him but it's not related to the price tag but to what I think he could be as a player. When I watch him play I see a player who has the skill set to be the complete midfielder, to dictate games. He's been labelled as an attacking midfielder whoisn't going to be great defensively but I don't buy that. Although he is obviously a top class attacking player, he has the physique, strength and pace to be an all rounder. In fact they all suit his physique more than his twinkle toes, passing ability and goal threat.

I think what I'm trying to say is I think we could have a complete midfielder on our hands if moulded properly. When he first arrived(back) and when watching him at Juventus I thought he would have to play in a mf three and we would really have to shape the team around him(have at least one dm in there to cover for him) but the more I see the more I think he could eventually play in a mf two or at least a deeper starting position in a three.

Think this is a great post, especially the last few sentences in the second paragraph, was he told to not care or be relaxed with his defensive duties when playing in a mf 2??? He seriously has the attributes to be a box to box player imo, can he be taught this, from his juve days he wasn't asked to do this yet I think he is this type of player.

What is being asked of him now and past I think he has delivered. Loving the pogback

He was supposed to be the next Ronaldo in the same way that every error prone keeper who makes two or three decent saves is the next De Gea, it's a handy narrative but ultimately a load of b**lix. Memphis has done nothing that deserves being handed that storied number at 22.

I know you probably meant that tongue in cheek so don't interpret that as a back argument, I'm agreeing with you really, his days at united are probably numbered.

Another Zaha, he'll leave for a lesser club and do some decent stuff once in a while but he'd never make it at United.

This will be a tough one, a draw in isolation wouldn't be a terrible result but we really need to be winning this. Think Fellaini may start this one (yikes). Head says 1-1 but heart says 2-1.

Have the most rotten head cold after a crazily busy week, so a win today would be very, very much be appreciated...

We just have to win tonight. Its entirely possible we lose or draw but it just feels like we have our act together now. Although I dont think we can afford to play players so lacking in pace again tonight. For me Mata should be swapped out for Lingard on that right hand side or Rashford if he isn't over on the left. I actually like Lingard and thought he did well in the little cameo the other night. Mkhitaryan is our man on the left but for now we need speed and not Mata and his complete abandonment of that position.

I'd like flashford on the left but I find it so hard to say mata should be left out because he is one of a few players that can pull something out of nowhere for us and even the other night only for the cross-eyed linesman we would be talking about mata been the match winner again.
