I'd back him in a fight against Aloysius to be fair.

It might be a good idea to try and cash in on him this summer. With Martial playing brilliantly on the left, he's unlikely to get many chances because he can't really play anywhere else. He also has attitude problems. Considering we signed him for £30 million we might have to take a £15 million loss.

Throwing a strop would be consistent with him being the new Ronaldo.
Can't think of a single occasion that Ronnie missed a football reality activity due to stroppiness? He was pathologically professional.

He needs another season, LVG really does not know how to handle certain players. He'd have probably dropped Ronaldo because he was too greedy and alienated him from the club. His man management is shocking, sure you can talk about how the modern footballer is a prima donna, and even if that is the case, you still need to know how to manage them. This guy isn't a lost cause like Ravel Morrison, he's a talented young player who is frustrated at how his season has turned out. It would be a huge mistake to sell him already, we wouldn't recoup the money and he could still become a top player.

I remember Ronaldo walking off v Sunderland when he got injured. Just booted the ball off the pitch and walked off when it was 0-0. Didn't give us time to get a sub ready either. Not exactly the same but he was very prone to acting like a spoilt brat and obviously he got away with it.

Whether it's true or not - is of no actual relevance. Anybody who watch us play this season saw that Depay is extremely unprofessional and uncommitted. He simply gets his huge paycheck and could not be bother really.
And clearly LVG methods are not working, with the exception of couple of solid games he was awful even when LVG finally dropped him. So LVG could not motivate him.

Not that surprising since I wouldn't want him anywhere near the pitch myself. His signing and performance this season is another massive failure to lay at LVG's door.

Oh dear oh dear. Probably told he's not in the squad and he's flipped out, can't say I blame him for being upset.

fear that's the last we've seen of him. Crazy though as under a new manager it could be so different.

It gets your attention at first, then you realize that we're not losing anything by not having him in the squad. He's been absolutely abysmal.

Now, whether or not it's LVG's way of doing things that's making things worse for him, or if it's an attitude problem, or if he's really just a shit player we spent too much money on, that will have to be sorted out by the club. All I know is that he's acted unprofessionally and should be only watching tomorrow at home.

Hopefully we recoup a reasonable fee for him this summer. No point keeping him another year as his stock plummets further.

He was a bit stroppy at times when he didn't get the pass he wanted
Or when he didn't get a decision and just sat down moping for a while whilst the game went on.

pretty sure i read that the entire team will be there, injured players and all... i can't imagine it any other way. i'd suspect that the players up for selection (the 18), would travel separately but i can't imagine we wouldn't have our entire team there.

Martial plays in his position. Sell him and get a right winger.
And what happens when he gets injured or a striker and may want to push Martial up top?

Yeah he's been well below average this season but after one season people are ready to ship him off? Not too many creative players seem to thrive under Van Gaal at United, it's more in spite of him.

precisely. i'd love to see how great martial and rashford could play under a manager who understands that goals are an important part of the game of football.

That part puzzled me as well. CBJ has not travelled, so why would Memphis?
Apparently everyone is going because it is a cup final. Makes sense I guess so they are all there for the celebration if we win even if they aren't in this matchday squad.

In the case of a late injury?
We have one less on the bench, has happened to us a few times this season. It doesn't necessarily make sense, but it is the way it has been done.

Remember this time last year when we were already worried he'd be Madrid-bound in 2-3 years before even kicking a ball for United?

Wild optimism soaked in fear. Those were good times.
