Why would they miss the start of the season? When has that ever happened after one of our players went far in the World Cup? They will miss pre season but are usually back in time for the league games.
Mourinho's put the dampeners on Lukaku appearing.Indeed 'confirmed' that the players who went far into the WC will get 3 weeks off which I assume refers to Lukaku, Fellaini, Pogba and the England players. Not unrealistic imo to still see this side line up against Leicester
---------------De Gea---------------
Valencia--Bailly--Smalling--Shaw
----------------Matic----------------
-------???---------------Pogba-------
Mata----------Lukaku-------Sanchez
JM: (On Sanchez) It's not good for anyone, for me, for him or for us, there is nobody to blame, the club is making the effort, I have to respect the USA for the process of Visas, hopefully it will be resolved for Mata, Martial, Sanchez for the 1st game for the season. If Alexis is not working with us for 15 days it will be bad"
