Can't see Ronaldo going back to UTD, why would he?

[Fresh]

We're a share indexed company so the board will have the 'last say' on transfers, but any potential candidates will have come through the scouting department which has to come past the manager. LVG said in his very first interview that he'd approved the transfers of Shaw & Herrera before he even took up his post.

A manager will have less of a voice if the club has a director of football to supersede him.

Real talk though , I don't think its cringe worthy at all because we all know UTD have the means to make it happen. Whether it makes sense is a different story.

 

 

Fellow members - Can this be the last time Sterling is mentioned as any sort of Ronaldo replacement?

International away days might be back sooner rather than later

 

Manchester United are considering playing lucrative friendlies overseas to fill the midweek void left by the absence of European football this season and their early Capital One Cup exit. The 20-time English champions have forecast a 10% drop in revenue in 2014-15 after they failed to qualify for the Champions League under David Moyes.

 

The struggles have left United with one midweek Premier League match before the end of 2014 and just three in the first three months of 2015. Going overseas – the Middle East would be the most likely destination – would allow United to escape the English winter for a few days and the addition of Radamel Falcao and Ángel di María have made the club even more likely to attract lucrative contracts for friendlies.

 

“That’s something we continue to look at, as always making sure that the preparations we do on the pitch come first,” United’s managing director, Richard Arnold, said. “For many of our [pre-season] international tours, there is a plan to ensure we get that team building that goes together with getting the team all together in one place. That’s something that’s being looked at with regards to the future with Louis [van Gaal].”

 

Van Gaal said during United’s pre-season tour of the United States, shortly after taking over as manager, that the obligations to sponsors and distances the team has to travel was “not very positive for a good preparation” for the Premier League campaign.

 

Arnold said there’s no disagreement with Van Gaal over the possibility of taking on more commercial ventures.

 

“I can only speak positively of my experience with the manager in terms of his understanding of what’s required to get a first-class team onto the pitch and also what’s required for running a club of our magnitude,” Arnold said. “We have a fantastic partnership in terms of our work off the pitch and I’m very appreciative of the support we have had from him.”

Been talked about all 2014. I believe the original plan was for one game to have been played every CL week but Van Gaal postponed it until later in the season.

So that myth about Mourinho being turned down by United has finally been put to bed.

 

"It became apparent that Mourinho had given his word to Abramovich and Chelsea."
