Wasn't that long ago squad numbers were confirmed and he's in them: http://www.manutd.com/en/News-And-F.../premier-league-squad-numbers-for-united.aspx
I'd be surprised if he was to leave now.

he has a strange face
“He’s the world’s best in terms of analysing the opposition, game preparation and coming up with solutions.”
– Toni Kroos
“Pep thinks about football 24 hours a day. He covers every angle to the smallest detail and he always demands 100 per cent in training and in games.”
– Robert Lewandowski
“Pep makes a player better. He’s helped me to understand football better. We work a lot on tactics, he’s taught me with 200 videos. He taught me a completely different role as a central defender than I was playing under Marcelo Bielsa [at Athletic Bilbao]. He dared to ask [Philipp] Lahm to play in the middle, he made [Jerome] Boateng the best central defender in Europe with the ball at his feet. He hates it when players get hurt, because, first of all, he appreciates you as a person. He makes you feel important. That’s crucial for us on a mental level.”
– Javi Martinez
“When we are in possession, tactically he is the best coach in the world for me. He works hard, watches a lot of games, and prepares us really well. Guardiola has the feeling for gaping spaces, and he already had that as a player. He’s a perfectionist.” – Arjen Robben
“I have learned a lot from Pep. He’s a genius. I can learn more from him in an hour than from others in one year. He not only lifts you to the next level on the pitch, but also in your mind. He has revealed totally new options to me. I did not know that was possible when I got to Munich. He found a new position for me.” – Douglas Costa
Pep never stops thinking. I will give you an example. We beat Dortmund 3-0 last month. We were on the plane, very happy as we’d beaten our biggest rival, but he sat at the front, opened his laptop and started preparing for the next match. He is obsessed with football.”
– Karl-Heinze Rummenigge (December 2013)
“He is more like a genius who reads the game and covers every situation imaginable. He is always showing us how to create space and find solutions and there is no manager like him, which makes him probably the best in the world.”
– Ilkay Gundogan
“Pep doesn’™t just give you orders, he also explains why. That makes you a better footballer because you learn the reasoning behind his instructions.”
– Gerard Pique
“He gives you so many solutions for when you are then in the middle of a game, and nearly all of them turn out to be the right solutions when you apply them.”
– Andres Iniesta
“Intelligence is often expressed in how well you adapt to where you are, to your circumstances. And he is very, very intelligent. He would adapt to any football anywhere. He is a perfectionist, obsessive: he keeps going until he gets it right, no matter what he’s doing. If Pep Guardiola decided to be a musician, he would be a good musician. If he wanted to be a psychologist, he would be a good psychologist.”
– Xavi
– Toni Kroos

Sounds like Valencia are quite desperate for him. If he can be a key member it might come United good in the long run even though he would be a good backup.
Might be worth it in that case, I think he should stay and be given minutes but if he isn't going to get them early on (I'm sure somebody mentioned José not typically rotating much at the start of the season) and he's going to be a key player for them, might make sense to give him 4 months there playing regularly and come back ready to hit the ground running and starting games.
Oh look here's Phil coming along acting like he knows all about something after other journos have already reported it....
City complaining officially due to not getting Sanchez? Is that a wind up.
Their own fault for sheer arrogance thinking they can sign any player they want, when they want. Doesnt work like that sweeties

The twitter accounts that made the tweets aren't well known. Could be just Chilean twitter accounts letting out a bit of frustration for Sanchez. Hard to know either way. We'll find out soon enough anyway
Barca working with PSG to help them comply with FFP. Disgusting.
I am amazed that Barca are going anywhere near PSG to be honest.
They'll be desperate to get Messi to sign the new contract. With Coutinho being a failure, I guess Di Maria was the player he wanted.
I think it might be a mistake loaning Pereira out. He gives us that extra depth / option in the squad that makes us stand out. But I guess the reality is that he will not have as much game time as he wants if he stays and that's not good for a kid who wants a look in for the Brazillian national team. so I can understand the consideration.
That reads like the happy customers section on a website selling a service or product.
You may be right. There were some reports of Messi asking for ADM to be recruited earlier in the summer.
He actually tweeted on August 5th that Pereira hadn't been assured of a spot in the squad. which contradicted Duncan Castles, who wrote a piece in the Daily Record afew days earlier saying, "Pereira had secured a spot in United's squad".
How does that prove or disprove anything?

How long have they got, 2 hours?
It proves he didn't just tweet what Castles reported about Pereira and basically said Castles info was false.
Yeah, something like that.
Strikes exactly like his MO to me. Wait for someone else to post a story and then tweet a vague statement that can't ever really be disproven. If Pereira does go out on loan, you claim that that you were right, if he doesn't then there was a change of heart/Pereira chose to stay/other clubs weren't interested.
Costa will never play for Chelsea again.
His relationship with Conte has completely broken down.

Costa staying would be fecking poisonous for Chelsea's dressing room spirit, so I'm all for it.
I can see a fair few white hankies being against this.

If Andreas HAD to go out on a loan, i would've preferred sending him to a team like Swansea. Could've been a decent replacement for Gylfi there as a creative force and Clement would've utilised him well too.
Haha, PSG really sticking it to Barca this summer.
PSG have marked Barca's card and made a concerted effort to overtake them this summer. It's been so clearly personal .
It's verging in bullying. Nice to see though.
