He should have got rid of him straight away but that was never going to be easy given his contract etc.

I won't be surprised to see Martial go this summer, he's obviously very talented but we've not seen enough of it the last few years and I know that him and Mourinho don't get on at all.

Another DeBruyne or Salah.

haha, not everything is his fault. Salah was sold when Conte was in charge and given he was the Italian manager he'd have seen more of Salah then anyone else. As for DeBruyne he was a left winger at the time and Hazard was easily the better player. I'd imagine he was under pressure to balance the books at the time so something had to give.

Never understand the Salah one either, given that Conte was in charge when he was sold.  Additionally, there wasn't a huge queue of suitors chasing either player when they left Chelsea.

As for Martial, I am stuck between two different viewpoints.  One is that he sometimes seems like he could push himself more, increase the workrate and utilize his pace more.  The other is that he has been brilliant this season and has unfairly been shafted since January.  He was obviously one of those being referenced after Friday night but I fail to see fairness in how Lukaku or Sanchez could have 5 or 6 quiet and ineffective games in a row and if Martial (or Rashford) has one then they are scapegoated and hooked.

As for Rooney, it was obvious that he was going to allow Rooney to play himself out of the team.  He wasn't going to come in and sell the captain straight away.

So he came into United and continued to pick a substandard player for 2/3rd of a season because he didn't want to upset the fans and you guys are happy with that?

How many games did he actually play under Jose? and how many of those were full games?

After the game, he and fellow winger André Schürrle were criticised publicly by manager José Mourinho

Sound familiar? If you're giving Mourihno a free pass on Salah it's laughable.

How many other top clubs were in for Salah last summer? He's clearly improved a lot in Italy but even then only Liverpool were in for him last summer.

Wayne Rooney went to see Sir Alex Ferguson earlier.

"His speech is improving and he is learning to string a sentence together" said Ferguson.

Why do members insist on addressing Ferguson as Sir?

Often wondered that myself.  High King or Lord and Master would be better.  Liverpool, Chelsea and City fans should advert their eyes to show their subservience as well.

Surprised it's so quiet here this morning after another tactical masterclass and the massive achievement of clinching second place.

Was a poor game, against a very poor team, Shaw should have scored only for a brilliant save, othjer than that it played out as an end of season lets not get injured for the FA Cup final game, and will be the same come the weekend against Watford..

Are you not satsfied that Utd finished second, i.e progression? considering how they have finished in recent years? Even looking at some of the games Utd should have won, City would have still won the title based on their results.

[Maroon Manc]

Crap game Seanie but apart from the cup final the season was over a month ago.

Hope the youngsters get a chance Sunday.

I hope Smalling gets the boot this summer, can't understand after playing for United for 8 years how inept he is in possession;

Used to watch all of Utd's games on TV. Seen the time I'd never have missed them. A few years ago I cancelled Sky and BT. The football is boring.
I want to care, but I don't. It's just all corporate, overpriced, pampered footballers.
I watched the SF of the Champions League and did enjoy it. Plenty of mistakes and goals. But there are far to few of these games.
