Further to Simon’s excellent post, with reference to the last para; the one thing that perplexes me about Jose, is when he first arrived, he made a point of saying he would use “specialists “ as opposed to versatile players. Yet, he persists in playing players out of position as well as versatile players. I’m sure partly due to the lack of options but hopefully this will largely be addressed in the coming weeks.
I'm hoping for that as well.

I know Jose seems to prefer just buying 3 or 4 in a Summer but I'm hoping we bring in 5-6. Think we need it.

Hopefully he can be that player who can connect midfield and attack, Pogba was meant to be that player but maybe we misunderstood his core strenghts( for all his ability he has a tendency to take way too many touches in midfield). With a dynamic player like Fred maybe Pogba will have the freedom that he always needed, ie fred can be the one who drives forward and Pogba can receive the ball closer to the opposition box where he can really do damage. Sanchez and Lukaku also become more dangerous, if we add a top class right winger, and decent full backs we could be in business.
Penny for every time I heard this and I will be rich. Hopefully its' true this time, part of this is down to Pogba and he's not been faultless.

bet he get's mishandled by mourinho, playing style wise he is very similar to what pogba was like at juventus but I can see cautious mourinho trying to make him a deep lying playmaker like he tried with pogba
3/10.

Nice attempt at a WUM though.

That must be a different player then, I'm talking about Keita who used to play for Barcelona.
:lol: Why would you talk about him? People are obviously talking about Naby Keita who's joining Liverpool this summer.

:) I don't really follow football outside the PL much. When I hear Keita, that's the only one that comes to mind. So there's another Keita, I'll have to look in to that.

@Kevin, dude thats not him, thats a woman. Besides, until the work permit comes through he has to be transported in the boot, in a bag.

Mercedes as next sponsor? - Hope so - that symbol would look classier than Chevvy, but then again I don't have a shotgun hanging in the back of my pickup truck so what do I know?

I think the woman in front might be from Marketing team?

There's only one United!
Worried that he could only start from the bench with Brasil yesterday.

Now that guy Willian, well he's something else!!

I think its same lady who was there for previous unveiling too, most likely a man united team member who is tasked with travel for new arrivals.

A female? I'm not sure who We're signing anymore.. is it Fred or Daphne?
I bet there's Scooby-doo and Jack Wilshere in the back seat.

We would have gotten Fred if it weren't for them meddling kids!

Not saying he’s a guaranteed starter but the medical probably had something to do with it.

If he goes down injured then can he still do a medical?

Norway, smashing the F5 button. LUHG

Fred has arrived at Carrington to undergo medical
A whole day of spamming F5 button while in the caf and sipping coffee with my biggest muppet target Fred signing!

Really think Fred will lift our team, especially our midfield. It will become so much more dynamic with Fred and our attacking players will get more freedom and alittle less back tracking when our midfield will have more control and fluent transistions.

Oh wait, you were serious!? As said numerous times on here, transfers can be announced anytime - it doesn't make a difference whether the NYSE is open or closed.
:lol::lol:, rumours die hard!

I just realised he's 5' 6'' (1.69m).

Is Mourinho feeling well? That's the second signing in a row where we've signed a tiny player.
