Man Utd Thread:

Mata heading out the door?

Be sad to see him go, not the player Id say that United need but he gave everything he had each time he played.

A nice guy but I doubt he'll be missed on the pitch. I hear talk of £20m, should be nearer to £30m given the money Everton have.

Youse are lucky to be selling him for £20m. . . he's possibly ruined his career having spent 2.5 years at the shit show that is Old Trafford.

He's a quality player hopefully this can bring him back to the level he should be playing at.

Good man Screen thanks for stopping by.

As always insightful and not bitter 

If there is anything untrue in my post I will happily retract it

Mourhino has just said that Rooney won't be playing in midfield thankfully. I don't expect Rooney to be first choice after xmas if not a lot sooner.

New captain needed then. Smalling maybe?

I'd give it to De Gea, he's one of our few genuine world class player probably only one alongside Zlatan and nobody in the dressing room could have any complaints. Rooney will probably be captain whilst he's on the pitch although I'd imagine United would be under less pressure to keep him from sponsors now Zlatan is at OT.

More pool men giving off about Utd 

Obviously their signings this year ain't giving them much hope

[Megaman]

rumours that the pogba deal getting very close.

Hope Real dont come in and spoil it.

[snoopdog]

Is pogba worth 100 million. I've watched him in champions league and for France and never been that impressed by him.  From what I've seen it's a massive gamble.
Maybe some of you on here has seen him more in serie A.

He's a very good player who can do most things well. Strong, can shoot, pass, tackle and is good in the air.

If it costs 100 million to ensure Fellaini and Carrick aren't playing every game it's worth it for Utd.

Still think they need a centre back, another midfielder and a bit more creativity.

Surely the previous two buys have these positions covered?

I don't think it's getting very close, "apparently" they have agreed wages with him but haven't had an offer accepted by Juventus. According to Italian journo Tancredi Palmeri

Still think Carrick is a vital player for Utd. Only one there at the minute with real passing ability. Though it will be interesting how Jose views him, he is obviously getting older and he was never really that athletic or got around the pitch that well.

He's not worth £100m but when you consider City paid £50m for Sterling and Liverpool paid £31m for Benteke its not as ridiculous as it sounds. I think one of the reasons United are paying over the odds is his profile, he's probably has the highest profile of any midfielder playing the game, United need high profile players to keep the sponsors happy as prior to the Zlatan signing Rooney was United's only high profile player.

I thought getting an agreement with Pogba would be more difficult than Juve so it sounds promising.

I would count DeGea as 'high profile' Arguably the nest No.1 in the world.
