Colours to the mast so Bangkok? Who will we be signing? In this window or the summer window?

I dont think we will move away from no 10 and any quality players that are available we should be interested in them regardless of position. Formations should and will be flexible depending on the game. No 2 games are alike. Dybala would be a fantastic signing if he came but i still think griezmann is the no1 target.

I reckon both will move next summer, Dybala to barca, griezemann to utd

Lord TSC

I feel if we were going to move away from the #10, we'd have seen more signs of that by now tbh.

If we are going away from a no10 in the team as some think we will, we wont be signing either ozil or dybala.

Dybala isn’t a no10 as such, more a second striker who can play up top on his own and on either wing.

I personally don’t think we play a no10 myself, I think the position that we play is more an 8.5.

I would say he is probably one of the best no10's in the world right now

Give me Dybala over Griezmann everyday, Griezmann has looked awful any time I've seen him this season.

Hard to judge, athletico having a poor season, new stadium, transfer ban etc. Griezmann would flourish at united playing with better players

He’s not a no10.. he’s a second striker. Plays just off Higuian

Any player that plays in the hole behind the striker is the classic no10. Call it 2nd striker or attacking midfielder or whatever but it is the no 10 position

I respectfully disagree and I’ll leave it at that.

Manchester United shares are doing well.
So far this year up 45%

I want a signing in January who will excite, a player with some flair. Get the scouts out to Brazil for the next month turning over rocks.

On a side note how on earth did City buy Gabriel Jesus so easily, he’d fetch 200 million in this market.

Gabriel Jesus, leroy sane and mohammad salah were 3 bargain signings. We should have been in for all 3

Definitely would love Dybala (and have to agree re Griezeman this season, I know Athleti are having a bad season but he has not been able to turn things around for them on enough occasions like a player of the price tag should be doing imo - can totally accept it is just a bad patch for him though, he is a class player for sure)

It's semantics really. 10 is just a position. If you are talking role definition, it can be second striker or trequartista/advanced playmaker or whatever.

I mean when you talk about a no.10 maybe 15 years ago, you would think more of a second striker automatically because they were more popular back then the likes of Cole, Sheringham, even Rooney when RVP was playing. Second strikers are less popular these days so people tend to assume the 10 is automatically a playmaker.

10 is just a position that occupies the pocket behind the 9. How they play defines the actual role

highly doubt we were in for salah as he went to liverpool, would have been an easy capture if we wanted him.

Gabriel Jesus said Pep was the only manager to call him and talk to him personally, we may have been interested but he is not a mourinho type player so doubt we were

sane was def scouted by the club, but we made no official bid and Pep made him one of their prime targets.

of all of them sane was def the one we should have signed

Of course the PL top scorer would have gone back to play for the manager who wouldn't play him at Chelsea. Love it

Depends, does he go by the name "Bangkok" from time to time or not? That will dictate the direction of your interview quite a bit.

Not, back to the telly for me.

Bye.

After our carry on last night we will surely lose tonight.

Eitherways hopefully we see a good performance and get some momentum going we need a few wins in a row before we play arsenal and city.

Liam McPoyle

Are we expecting a changed team tonight?

Wouldn't be surprised to see Ibra start and Rom rested.

I don't think it will be significantly weaker he probably still wants to win maybe the likes of Herrera and fellaini starts. I think it might be another sub appearance for zlatan no point pushing him too hard 30 mins at the end would surely be better then starting him.

Ibra baby faced assassin 2.0

Bleating Lamb

I would like to see Luke Shaw on the bench tonight and if we are in a good position in game bring him on for last half hour.
Loads of question marks over his attitude but you don’t turn from being the best left back in the league into a complete dud.
If Utd intend selling him in January transfer window buying clubs will expect them see him playing mins before that.
If we are going to persevere with him Jose needs to show some faith in him for getting back to full fitness by playing him a bit to see how he gets on.

Jose could have given him 20-30 mins on Saturday .3-1 and looking comfortable after 55 minutes.
I think hes finished at United now and sooner its sorted out the better.

jayo26

Listening to jose talking about the english players and the world cup he doesn't sound like a man that has anything but United on his mind for the future.

He commented on the players coming back after the world cup and saying he won't have them if England reach the world cup final and also said of course he wishes England luck as it's the country he hopes to hopes or expects to be living in for many years to come.

He has prostate cancer, club havent released any statement yet. Remarkable that the players did what they did after hearing the news
