The Official Manchester United Thread

[Benicio del Toney]

lol

 

You asked what position is he suited to.

 

Shoulda just dropped him deep saved P on Fellaini.

 

 

Fellaini is a horrible passer btw.

[Horatio Caine]

he wont be better than sturridge......

 

 

eve tho sturridge is greedy ,when he puts his head down, he very dangerous 

 

I don't like Sturridge. He's not very easy on the eye, too selfish, seems to force the skill abit much and seems a bit clueless at times

prefer sturridge because between the two,he can actually see a pass,but yes he is greedy,but so is welbeck at times,

[Agony]

 

To conclude, Citeh's 4-4-2 is really not much different from Man U's. Glad we got there in the end

 

But Kagawa rarely plays so it is different when he's not in the team 

 

Nani plays fairly often though

 

Yes he does but as a winger that offers the team width unlike when Nasri or Kagawa play on the wing

 

FFS, it's like talking to a 4 year old

Manchester United star says he's heading for exit due to personal reasons

Posted by SPORT WITNESS on October 21, 2013 at 10:02 in Sport Witness Football

It really does seem that Patrice Evra's time at Manchester United is coming to an end. Whilst finding himself amidst a new controversy in France regarding the national team , Patrice Evra has let something slip that could start worrying a few Manchester United fans around the globe.

Yesterday morning, a rather candid interview of Patrice Evra was aired on Téléfoot, one of France's more important football related TV shows. The Manchester United vice-captain, in what starts as a rather platonic conversation about Frank Ribéry, finds himself attacking various members of the French press regarding what they have said about him in the past, including ex-France left back Bixente Lizarazu who now works for L'Equipe, RTL and TF1 (the channel that airs Téléfoot on a Sunday morning).

Whereas now the entire French press is up in arms about what has been said, it is what Patrice Evra briefly mentions at the very end of the interview that interests us the most.

After a 17 minute rant, the France left-back was asked as a final question whether or not he was worried that he still hasn't signed a new contract with Manchester United (his current deal expires in June 2014). Here is the translated transcript of the last 30 seconds of the video:

“Your contract expires in June 2014. Does this bother you?"

"No, not at all. It's personal. It's not Manchester (United) that don't want me to sign a new contract. This whole thing is personal. Manchester United's dream is that I finish my career there, but this is something personal."

"You can't say anything else on the matter?"

"No."

Rather interestingly, last Thursday, Le10 Sport wrote a rather lengthy article on the matter and stated Ferguson's departure as the reason behind Patrice Evra's hesitancy at signing a new contract as well as linking him with Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco.

If it is indeed Patrice Evra that is reluctant to sign a new contract with Manchester United and not the other way round, then the club has a new dilemma on its hands. With the ongoing saga surrounding Manchester United's interest with Leighton Baines, it seems that the Premier League champions have already thought ahead. Having both Leighton Baines and Patrice Evra at the club would probably cause a few problems, but if Evra is indeed seeking an exit from Old Trafford at the end of his contract, a move for Baines could be on the agenda next summer.

Another option is Luke Shaw. The Times, less than 24 hours after Evra's interview (coincidence, we don't think so...), have linked the Manchester-based club with a move for the Southampton youngster as early as January.

Interestingly, this was the first time that Evra has spoken about his contract situation at Old Trafford and the fact that the whole matter is “personal” suggests that a suitcase is already packed at the bottom of the stairs in the Evra residence. With Vidic also out of contract next June, Manchester United could find themselves needing to buy new defenders as well as new midfielders.

Edward Woodward. It's time to go unearth that blank cheque you were handed last summer.

I would say Nani tends to drift a lot. Valencia offers genuine width

[Mame Biram Diouf]

 

 

So instead of focusing on the tactical problem and the space in between that triangle of Sunderland players that isn't being occupied by Rooney or preferably Kagawa we're just gonna turn this into a Cleverley vs Fabregas debate, smh. I'm out.

 

Been staring at this pic for 5 mins

 

Actually sums up everything we say about Rooney

 

Gonna flood whatsapp 

[youcleanwepaint]

that scholes video was emosh made me think this guy was bodied...

 

up there with the best of them

[O Fenomeno]

[Wavant]

Giggs LMAO

So true.

[darkman]

So true? Like Spurs would even sell Townsend

 

I think RVP is a problem for you guys too. When he's not scoring his impact on the game is minimal

[Wavant]

Weren't referring to Townsend mate.

[darkman]

My bad

[Heero Yuy]

The worst thing is of this poor form continues

The signings in January will be like pool/Chelsea that Torres/Carroll window

30m for Townsend

60m for khedeira

80m for subotic

 

 

pmsl

[Lieutenant]

Can only imagine the convo

[anelka]

I think RVP is a problem for you guys too. When he's not scoring his impact on the game is minimal

 

Nah RVP's hold up play is fantastic, his touch with his back to goal is excellent

[anelka]

Pos @Agony for the tactical breakdown

 

But the other part of the problem is when rooney does drop into the pocket..

 

- he's not going to turn and beat a man

- he's not going to play a clever one-two

- he's not going to turn and slide some1 in

 

- 70% of the time he turns out and sprays a hollywood pass

- or passes it wide then invades the wingers space by getting too close then over-cooks a return pass

- passes it back to carrick or the full back

 

Wazza is in poor form, has been since rvp touched down (prob even further back), he was horrible for england before the header vs poland

Also I like the way noone praised Luis Nani for his part in Adnan's 2nd goal at sunderland

 

any other winger would've played it back to the cm or full-back but Nani committed defenders then got his cross in. When AndrosTownsend does that people go mad but I didn't hear 1 single pundit praise Nani's wing play

[JOHN DOE]

one question guys

 

if rooney is such a cancer - why is he still at the club?

[Agony]

one question guys

 

if rooney is such a cancer - why is he still at the club?

1. He's English

2. Foreign clubs didn't rate him highly enough to make a serious offer which may have been a waste of time anyway because of reason 1.

3. Unlike Moyes, Fergie probably would've had the balls to sell him this summer but he retired

[JOHN DOE]

i'm anti ronney btw im just trying to undertsand why how comes noone professional  has called him out or anyone else has identified that he is a problem

 

its strange
