Your stat should say that Mata has ....... since he came to England!
Then its factually correct.
Stats are selective - Hazard for example is only about 5 or 6 behind, but hasn't been in England for as long.

I just know that when Ibra passes to him, he usually spanners it over the bar !
He has turned 3 points into 1 this season more than once.
Statistically based rant over! - you can probably counteract with how many games he has won for them.
I will admit he's a handy player:)

That's the way I read it anyway...

Only a pendant would think otherwise.

Anyway, some trivia.

This was on red Wednesday podcast.

6 English players who played for United in the premier league era have over 100 pl goals.

Who are they?

Rooney, Cole, Owen, Sheringhan and Scholes anyway.

Can't think of a sixth.

While Martial's next goal will cost €10 million for United, being Martial's 25th goal, the proof that Martial is better this year than last:

What did ya'll think of Teddy? I was disgusted Fergie chose him to replace Eric but he became one of my favourite Utd players of that time.

Don't like him or his dirtbag mate

Sheringham was a very good player who came in and did a very good job for us. As a backup striker he was almost perfect in that he gave different options to the other lads that were there while still being a viable choice in his own right.

That said, he personally did very well out of his move to United, perhaps better than his talent might have done otherwise.

Jayop wrote: »

I can't think of him 'creating' that much if I'm honest. Even the second goal he probably hit the assist but it was more of a solo goal.

You could actually make the argument that Ibra overhit that pass/got his angles wrong which forced Martial very wide. A more precise pass and Martial would have been in one on one with the keeper as opposed to having 3 defenders plus the keeper in his way by the time he was in a position to take a shot.

StringerBell

You could argue that, you could also argue that put straight in one on one Martial may well have missed.

Or you could just celebrate the goal

S.M.B.

Sorry, you're right. Zlatan probably knew Martial was less likely to score in a high pressure one on one scenario so intentionally overplayed the pass.

Good man Ibra!

I mean the pass wasnt perfect but he laid it off first time into space behind the defence. It wasnt a simple pass by any means of all the stuff the critisise him over that would be down the list for me.

S.M.B.

To be honest, I'm only really playing devils advocate here. As you said he saw the pass was on and played it in behind the defence.

I'm not saying he should be dropped on the back of that pass or anything.

Lads, pool buy Coleman, Brady, long, Hendrick and Horgan or whoever. If they were getting games as regular starters how would you hope they'd do in games?

Dont care what players play for them, will always want them to lose unless it benefits UTD in some way.

Table as it is:

1 Chelsea 25 60
2 Man City 25 52
3 Arsenal 25 50
4 Tottenham 25 50
5 Liverpool 25 49
6 Man Utd 25 48

4 points between 2 and 6 is amazing.

W/E 25th Feb:

Chelsea v Swansea
Spurs v Stoke
Leicester v Liverpool

We have a cup final to attend that weekend, so our game v City, and Arse's v So'ton is postponed. Hopefully we'll be celebrating a Cup win though! Can't see any of our rivals dropping points in that round of fixtures though. (Only including Chelsea for completeness).

W/E 4th March:

Man Utd v Bournemouth
Liverpool v Arsenal
Spurs v Everton
Sunderland v City
West Ham v Chelsea

Another huge round of fixtures. We need to do the business v Bournemouth. Hopefully a draw between Liverpool and Arsenal, and a win for Everton and we could be sitting pretty with a game in hand. We're out first too so it's another good chance to put some pressure on the teams ahead of us and this season it seems that the weeks the teams ahead of us slip up we can't capitalize so hopefully playing first will remove that. Spurs and Liverpool will likely win though. City could end up drawing this as Sunderland have been doing Untied a few favours this year.

W/E 13th March:

City v Stoke
Palace v Spurs
Arsenal v Leicester
Southampton v United
Liverpool v Burnley
Chelsea v Watford

Predicting wins for everyone in the top 6 here.

W/E 29th March:

WBA v Arsenal
Stoke v Chelsea
Boro v United
Spurs v Southampton
City v Liverpool

Wins for everyone else and I reckon City beat Liverpool in this one.

Table at the end of March (predicted):

1 Chelsea 29 72
2 Tottenham 29 62
3 Man City 28 59
4 Liverpool 29 58
5 Arsenal 28 56
6 Man Utd 28 57

So all in all with a fixture less played I think we lose ground on 2nd by a point but the teams above us will take points from each other in 2 games so we shouldn't be too far away if we do our stuff in 3 winnable games.

All those games the w/e of mar 13 will be off barring cup shocks as its fa cup qf weekend.

I see some of the rags are reporting Spurs coming in for Martial in the summer:D

I would nearly like to see Spurs trying for a United player just so the club could ride them over the price.

jayo26

I thought he already signed something in the summer? I couldn't imagine it's true rashford has been involved in near ly every squad this year and has had plenty game time.

Rayne Wooney

Rashford has played more game time this season than last season with 3 and a half months left to play and a heavy schedule coming up.

If that rumour is true he needs a heavy clout round the ear, hopefully it isn't because I don't think Mourinho will tolerate it.

KH25

I think this is just someone latching on to another player to try sell a story, especially now that Martiak has said he's happy and Jose has addressed the Shawn situation. Next it'll be 'Mata unhappy due to lack of headed chances'.

He did he is contracted until 2020 with the option of another year I think.. be tough luck not taking a pay rise

LOL so Miki rumors have been squashed followed by the Martial rumors.
Rags: "What will we make up next? Ah sure move onto Rashford"

Jayop

I'd say Rashford thinks all his Christmases have come at once with how his career at United is going. To believe he'd be unhappy with how he's progressed in under a year would imho be idiotic.

Or De'gea quits for Madrid, as he's not allowed take the penalties

I don't watch Serie A so much any more so I know feck all about this fella.

http://www.calciomercato.com/en/news/manchester-united-their-85-million-chase-for-italian-striker-42451

New reports from Italy suggest that Manchester United have entered the race to sign £85 million rated Torino striker Andrea Belotti.

TuttoMercatoweb understands that representatives from the Red Devils were in Turin last weekend to witness the 23-year-old score another brace as his side beat Pescara 5-3. His outstanding form this season is causing interest from all around Europe with Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich all known to be keen on acquiring his services.

Tuttomercatoweb would be your problem with this rumour. Haven't seen much of Belotti but with any Italian strikers id be waiting on a second season before dropping anything like that kind of money

Ya we had the Mickey Ryan saga

Then Rooney was dropped,then it was questions about Luke Shaw which then moved on to the unhappy Martial who smiles are as rare as Tony V's and now Rashford is apparently stalling on a new contract
