Hopefully Conte does not misinterpret this video and start abusing Jose.

Conte : "Arr maybe Jose arr should learn to arr not show off arr. He is a arr little wet man arr"

It rains these couple of days in Dubai but not so much just an hour or two maximum, and the weather still pretty good though. Hope the club has a good break and we get back much stronger.

Is he insinuating that United don't have good facilities? That's bang out of order.
Yes, actually. He said as much prior to the Benfica away match. Said the United staff would have a chance to see what a world class facility looks like.

Look at the tiny little facility at Carrington:


Richest club in the world, and their training facility is smaller than my apartment. :eek:

The training center is obviously much larger, but that's not what he was referring to.

If transfer business had been done this would have been the perfect time to intergrate new signings into the squad .
Just we could get our transfer work done quickly rather than always leaving it late .
Let's face it we must know who the targets are so the spadework could have been put in earlier and signings done as soon as the window opens .

The main training facility is massive isn't it? I've definitely seen a huge gym of ours before. This must be a separate bit that Zlatan was in?

Even in Dubai Mkhitaryan looks depressed.

You might be right. These are from 2012. Can't imagine they'd downgrade the gym as extensively as the Zlatan video suggests.

I love nothing more than these clown clubs complaining about the Christmas schedule, oil money and sh** then they fly to Dubai to make some extra cash on a nine day break. :lol:
Flying to Dubai doesn't mean that they didn't just play 9 football matches in 25 days, you know?

Pretty sure that’s not Carrington and was taken when Zlatan was in Monaco on his holidays in the summer.
The weight area at Carrington looks very old school but has a huge gym hall with it in one half. You see it in many of those inside Carrington things.

Maybe. I thought it was taken after the interview where he said he's the first one into the facility, and the last one out, with players coming and going in between. Nevertheless, Mourinho did lament the quality of Carrington's training facility when compared to Benfica's.

Great example of how to stretch 2-minutes worth of video into 10 with 0.25x slow motion. :lol:


Edit: longer version from a United YouTuber.

the lads must be having a good time that even Valencia is smiling or smirking
But we're not challenging for the title, why are they smiling? So out of order. Sell 'em all

I think I see another GK that is not Joel Pereira as well. Who is that? Maybe Romero is really leaving?

That's his home gym.
