I've had some of them trying to tell me the Europa League was a Mickey mouse trophy. I suppose it was seeing as they didn't win it.

Twice auto-correct turned it into 'Musical' so Cusack it was.

Liverpool are still living back in the day yet at the same time dream of next year.

Dunno if it was mentioned but after our win the other night,Jose has a 62% win rate after 100 games as United manager. Higher than any other manager we had at this stage.

Yep said that other night it's mighty impressive for a a spoofer.

I know fergie was here so long and he rebuilt teams so his record will always be a bit lower but 62 percent win rate would stack up well in most top clubs. Think he only lost 15 games in that 100 too?

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is expected to return to full training next week. He was out running with the physio on Friday afternoon after spending the previous few weeks working on his core fitness at Carrington. #mufc [mail]

J. Marston

Completely forgot about him.

Another option for rotation at least.

We’ve signed Veratti I assume based on the level of bro-citement

Last year was incredible. That injury comined with his age seemed to much to overcome.

New thread smell

Zlatan moving on would certainly add another reason as to why United having splashed out for Sanchez - moved on two high earners (Miki and more so Zlatan) who weren't contributing what we needed and brought in Sanchez. In terms of wage finances I would guess United are about even if not up (assuming Zlatan does indeed go)

Cantona's Collars

The potential Zlatan move away was pretty much expected. He had his time at United and unfortunately injury ruined it. Now Lukaku is the number one CF.

but but but.... you're making too much sense...

i mean we're paying Alexis 7 $5 billion a minute....

Surely Zlatan's flights to LA will have to be added on to his weekly wages....

Getting Zlatan off the wage bill makes perfect sense. Sanchez in, Zlatan and Miki out for no net loss is incredible business. I liked Miki a lot but just didn't work out.

We are well stacked attacking wise,next is the move to add to the midfield.

Yeah, there is no point in keeping player on such big wages who adds almost nothing.

Also with Sanchez signing, we have 3 players who are capable of playing as striker if Lukaku needs rest or injured.

Anyone get tickets to "An Evening with Eric Cantona" in the Olympia? Should be some good stories about his time at United.

clubberlang12

I disagree with the need to move Zlatan on at the minute. We have a young, impressionable squad who are very much still developing not only as players but as characters. Having someone like Zlatan, who is a winner, commands respect, obviously trains extremely hard before, during and after his injury, around these young players each day could be massive in their development. You are a product of your surroundings, and as i said before, surround these young players with players with the right mentality and they will improve greater than being among themselves. United are a rich club and I'm sure Zlatans wage, even if he doesn't play another minute this season won't be an issue. The summer is time enough, in my opinion, to move Zlatan on.

Well Zlatan himself has a say in this. I'd imagine he still views himself as a player so therefore he would prefer to actually play than be essentially a coach in training sessions.

I think it's quite obvious he will have the final say, i presumed that wouldn't have needed to be said. My post is in relation to the context of prior posts saying he's not our No.9 anymore, Sanchez is here now, we have enough attacking options, his wages are high, etc. If Zlatan wants to move for footballing reasons, i doubt Jose will stand in his way. But i can imagine Jose loves having him around this young squad day in, day out.

StringerBell

If Zlatan is happy to stay I'd be thrilled with that. If he wants to move on he should be allowed go of course and will.

He would be great to have around the squad as he is clearly a leader and very popular, someone the young guys look up to also and who better for our strikers to learn from? I can't see him being happy with a bench role but I also can't see him being happy going to MLS.

When does their window close? No need to make a decision on his future anytime soon really.

Cantona's Collars

It's coming up to the 60th anniversary of the Munich disaster.
The Huddersfield game at the weekend will be used to mark the occasion.

A great read in yesterday's Guardian and shows that United is much more than a money making machine and our use of the word history means more than just something to take the piss out of City.

jayo26

Jose says that he hasn't heard of any approach for zlatan but if the player wants a new challenge in a new country the club will help him.

Also said that fellaini wants to stay and the club want him to stay but they have to reach aggreement.

Cantona's Collars

Good old Ballague, he's reporting on the Aubameyang transfer being completed yet still had to get a dig in at United by mentioning the wages.
