Again, Krycha was allowed to fly to Paris for talks a couple of days before our game against Switzerland. When it comes to Matuidi it's probably bollox, though, according to a French journo close to France NT.Surely when on International duty at major championships you can't just swan off to other countries to do transfers? Just utter bollocks. Some lazy journalist has plucked Matuidi to United out of his arse.
Goes without saying really.£27million is still good for the donkey, the only downside is your club would spend it on another donkey & also Benteke would surely score against Liverpool in the league
10/10 muppetingJose did "tell friends" about managing United and the signing of Zlatan. I like his friends. They seem quite reliable.
It is weird that he only seems to tell his friends things that have been rumoured for a while.Well when he last told friends stuff it was that he was confident of landing the job as manager, so in Jose telling his friends stuff I trust. It's happening.
Well he obviously wouldn't want to disappoint them if it turned out to be true. I'm the same with my friends, wouldn't want to let them down.It is weird that he only seems to tell his friends things that have been rumoured for a while.
I haven't seen him much - but he's looked good every time I've seen him.Can't believe the under rating of Matuidi here...
As a Chelsea fan who has seen him up close and personal over the past couple of years in the CL I can assure people he's excellent when in form. Would be a very good signing for any team.
Seems like a lot of you are obsessed only with superstars.

Agree, surprised he is 29 though, thought he was 4-5 years younger.Can't believe the under rating of Matuidi here...

Wasn't Jose trying to sign Schneiderlin for Chelsea a few seasons ago?Another CM? A- This does not bode well for Pogba. B- I really like Schneiderlin I wish Jose would show some faith in him
A lot of us fans wanted him pretty badly but the club never made a move for him. Don't think there was ever any concrete link.Wasn't Jose trying to sign Schneiderlin for Chelsea a few seasons ago?
Mourinho seems to confide in his friends a lot, and they always go running to the press. Get some loyal pals Jose!Tweet

The infamous 'told friends'
Krychowiak is a completely different player though. He will sit and anchor the midfield, take the ball off the defenders and control things from deep. Matuidi is all about running off the ball, he's great at pressing and his movement makes space for other midfielders and attackers. He's far more box to box than Krychowiak despite the fact that the Pole does look decent moving forward. I'd have much preferred Krychowiak at United though, he's more what we need as we have Schneiderlin as a box to box presser (something that Van Gaal somehow failed to grasp).Yes exactly, he keeps things simple, which is exactly the reason for his high pass accuracy. I feel that whenever pass accuracy is compared, you have to compare the average pass length along with it. Yeah I've said the same earlier, I wouldn't want Matuidi as he's not at an age where his main assets in his game will drop. Saying that if he costs less than £20m, then it's not too bad (especially considering PSG signed imo the superior Krychowiak who's also only 26 years old for around £23m.)
It's criminal, the guy is amongst the very top in world football as a box to box destroyer.Can't believe the under rating of Matuidi here...

Pogba is nothing but rumours and speculation at this point much like Vidal, Sneijder, Neymar, Thiago, Pedro, Sanchez and a whole host of other names. The only confirmed interest we've had for the big name players over the past few years have been Fabregas and Ramos.Zlatan? Pogba?
They obviously have to drag it out of him. Such the tease he is.It is weird that he only seems to tell his friends things that have been rumoured for a while.
Yeah I agree, Krychowiak would have been perfect for us. He has all the qualities Matic has and wouldn't have cost a bomb. But it looks likely we're moving for box to box mids rather than CDM's. Interesting that, considering Carrick, Schweinsteiger and Schneiderlin are currently the options in CDM with 1 of the latter 2 likely to leave. Saying that, would love Fosu Mensah to get some game time there, or even as a box to box, where he he was brilliant when he was moved there last season in the FA cup away leg against West Ham.Krychowiak is a completely different player though.

He will be home grown by time he needs to be registered as an over 21.He's not HG. Only been with United 2 years. To be HG need to have 3 years with the team before the age of 21.
This is done then. Di Marzio is more legit than the BBC and Sky Sports combined these days.Tweet

It's the daily mailPals and sources are reporters with solid news briefed by Jose or someone close to Jose in the media imo.
They are generic, traceless terms.
These pals have been correct so far so lets see what happens.
Im just going by their stories this year where they quote his close friends. During the whole PSG and Jose link, even when LVG looked as if he could stay they referenced his friends and Jose's confidence with the situation.It's the daily mail
The same paper that over the years has had exclusives about us signing Kroos, Modric amongst others. And they didn't just link us to those players. They stated that we had actually signed them .
They make stuff up .
