Man Utd Thread:

[screenexile]

This is my favourite bit from the article . . .

Unlike his first two seasons in Manchester, Mourinho stopped noticeably short of talking up United as potential champions but his spikiest moment, presumably with Liverpool in mind, was directed towards the media for "making people that finish second look like they were relegated and people who win nothing, finishing below us, look like serial winners".

Looking forward to another season of mediocrity at the theatre of w**ks!!

really hilarious when you consider the w**k of a club he comes come, mediocracy is the word

Enjoyed that one!!! Isn't it great when other people prove your point for you?

Top performance last night buzzing for the rest of the season

Cagey enough start on Friday, nothing surprising about the performance.

Shaw definitely looked in better shape and that is with playing behind Alexis who was giving him plenty to do.

Fred was interesting, looks like he has got all the attributes, just needs to adjust to the pace of the EPL games he got caught on the ball a couple of times but in general impressive enough.

First few weeks are going to be a balancing act for most teams with players coming back tired from WC duty.

Woodward looked like a man whose Christmas had been cancelled at the end of that match.

Pogba looked lost out there today. Really hard to see Utd challenging city this season , already at this early stage.

A long time since Jamie Redknapp has seen a United side lacking the desire to get back into the game? In reality United have been lacking that desire since 2013.

Have to agree with Gary Neville, poor signings on top of more poor signings so many players playing for United now that are simply not good enough.

Stealing a living that man, cut from the same cloth as Ian Ayre formerly of Liverpool, neither men a f**king clue and holding back what limited potential Jose and Brendan have/had.

Aye I was thinking it might not only be Jose's head on the line if things go badly this season.

Mourinho has spent plenty since he took over. Lindelof and Bailly were his signings and both awful in defence.

Pochettino isn't moaning in public and Spurs spent nothing in the summer.

Is the writing on the wall for Jose? If it is then no time should be wasted but I'm not sure who would be suitable.

Bailly is good but just injury prone.

Gary Neville described the period from 2003 to around 2006 as the 'Djemba Djemba years'. What could you label the years from 2013 to date?

I was hoping for a wittier description.
