Just that he will miss the match on sunday, going by the twitter updates.. in fairness Jose usually never goes further than the match ahead with updates like that

On Rooney:

“He did it in exactly the right moment because I think this should be the last question about him until the end of the season.”

Looks like he is gone in the summer.

Mourinho was told he could become the first United manager to win a trophy in his first season:
“You are right but I have so many good things in my career that I wouldn’t be influenced by a little detail. The important thing is the club and the fans.”

This Rostov is a tiny place.

https://www.google.ie/maps/place/Rostov,+Yaroslavl+Oblast,+Russia/@57.1859402,39.4164464,23323m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x46b3204f23a50833:0xa4f3079f91ac13e0!8m2!3d57.195623!4d39.4131527

Population the size of Bray.
About 200kms West of Moscow and on a main rail line so shouldn't be too bad to access.
Beautiful looking little town, very quaint Russia.

Have a look at the Google images.


Edit: I'm a twat and there's more than 1 Rostov in Russia. Thanks Flint!!

feck should have guessed there's more than 1 Rotov in Russia.

Yeah, that one makes more sense with a population over a million. it also has an airport so the club should be able to schedule a flight right there.

Right on the border with the Ukraine too so not as far to fly.

With all this talk of Rooney leaving the club in the Summer does anyone actually think that United will break the world record again to sign Greizmann? Cant see it happening personally.

I personally think it's a nailed on signing this summer. Appears to be the worst kept secret in football. Plus his brother seems to be flirting with Man Utd every week too. As an Arsenal fan I wouldn't like to see the signing happen, but it will in the summer.

I can see it but would prefer if it was 70m odd and not a world record. What is his clause at? And could he go for less?

His buy out clause is £85.5 million, highly doubt Atletico would let him go for anything under the £85 million.

So no record transfer needed? Just the 85 mil in change...

With the money floating around and the squad we have already i can see the Griezman deal easily happening or another similar.

Woodward said they won't be a big turnover of players so it will be quality over quantity we don't have loads of gaps in the squad to fill just need to improve it in some positions to add to the potential and class thats already there.

I got to around 70 and really started racking my brain, then realised with about 30 seconds left that I had been trying to remember earlier years so much I had forgotten about most of the current squad, including the likes of Pogba and Zlatan...:o

Im a bit late but finally managed to watch the Mata interview.

Absolutely love him even more. Such a class act

It just makes me smile that even 18 months ago people were agonising about the financials as if the floodlights would have to be dimmed to save on the electricity bills.

So true.
I also never understand the whole "But he cost x amount!" scenario or the other one is "wages are too high!".
As if the money is of a concern to the fan complaining.
Unless you are a shareholder then why moan about it.

I agree in one sense but in another, some people don't like their club to be taken advantage of my other clubs just because we're rich. But in the main, I say spend that lolly.

I think the wages one does have some validity as it can upset the dynamic of a squad if one or two players are on huge wages in comparison to the rest of the squad. It can also possibly affect hunger if a young player in particular is getting huge wages and maybe players then think about only coming to the club for the money too. Di Maria possibly... And look at what's happening in China, I don't think players are going there for the 'project'.

Probably going a bit off tangent but Neville had a good line from Matt Busby's book the other day on twitter that the first thing he looked for when signing a player was that the player really wanted to play for United.

RobertKK

Paying high fees also says 'we are rich and successful to be able to afford such a player, and top players want to come to us'.
One can be sure Real Madrid were a little peeved that they no longer have the record for having the most expensive player.
United currently hold the record for most expensive player in the world with Pogba, and the most expensive teenager with Martial.
Griezmann will likely be the most expensive player to transfer out of La Liga.
What it says is the future for French football is very bright...
