Man Utd Thread:

I don't think I've ever been less excited about the new season approaching.

I think this is shared by a larger number of United supporters than ever. And it gives me no joy to say that.

Maybe if people stop blindly calling for support for Mourinho I won't feel the need to reply.

I was one who'd called for Jose to come at the start, i.e when Fergie left, Jose would have steadied the ship and possibly left the place with better players ...

As it is he's come in after the two clampits and steadied the ship, yes we can all agree that the football isnt great, I haven't really heard anyone say they are happy with the style, yes the couple of Cups and getting back into CL (albeit a let down v Seville) does wonders, but its papering over cracks, though I wouldnt be a fan of ZZ either.. I don't think there is anyone available at the moment that would win the leauge, as Utd is that far behind City

As a player or manager?

And why?

As a player? wind your neck in, the topic is about managers, he's past his best a footballer..

As a manager he's been with a team of superstars and achieved lots, the 3 CL wins was great, but only one La Liga, I'd much prefer to see him with a regular team first and see how he operates with a smaller budget.. Not unlike Jose, though Jose did it all with Porto, with a 10th of a budget ZZ had

Jesus f**k I was asking why you aren't a fan of his.

Can't understand the issue anyone would have with him as manager considering what he has achieved in 3 seasons

Tick tock tick tock...

Is there anyone Utd can bring in today that will make a difference??

Liverpool & Arsenal have improved their squads while Chelsea have a new manager and given City's youth and a manager constantly tweaking and improving the system you'd have to expect they will be better again!

Can United go better than last season?? Hopefully not

Or is the Jose third season implosion coming?

I'd much prefer United signed no-one today and Jose have youth a chance to come through.

It's a centre half they are after and the other options there aren't too young. I still think Bailly and Lindelof could make a half decent partnership if given time and stay injury free though. I'd like to see Gomes and Chong given some time this season.

Looks like Jose will be forced to do the unthinkable and coach the players he has to improve the team.

A rare thing indeed for any top manager today...

I guess he'll have to retract this statement after the Liverpool game then

"This is not our squad. Reinforcements, you mean players that I would like to buy, that's another thing, but this is not my squad. This is not even half my squad, or 30% of it. So don't look to this."

[Boycey]

Ur the one that needs to retract ur statement

I think the quality of the PL will increase this year and any chance United have of finishing in the top 2 again this season they will need Pogba to become more a team player and less of individual,Bailly to stay fit,Sanchez to shake off his poor form from last year (he was signed in poor form), Lukaku to snap out of his habit of doing little or nothing against the top teams and Fred,Dalot to turn out to be a good signings.

All of the above is more than possible.
