Dear Sir Morpheus 7,

I am honoured that an aristocrat like you took the time to read and reply to my message. I deeply appreciate your time and consideration.

I know I am someone arrogant because I sometimes make predictions but - you know - it is mainly because I support a club created in the second half of the 20th century.

Many thanks and best regards,

Ecstatic

Rumors are they’re buying Napoli’s Allan for 50 million and circumventing FFP once again.

UEFA are spineless

We don’t stand a chance with Phil Jones. We need Smalling back. And then we will also need much luck.
I wonder what the odds are for PSG not to score at Old Trafford. I wouldn’t bet against that happening.

All I know is it will be a game instead of a borefest. That's a win for me already.

PSG fans seem to think they’ll line up something like this

Buffon
Meunier - Kimpembe - Silva - Bernat
Di Maria - Alves - Marquinhos - Neymar
Mbappe - Cavani​

If that’s the case I’d be very tempted to go with 3-5-2.

I mean I like the guy, but Bernat was almost always underwhelming at Bayern. There really was no LB on the market for them?
They could also use a player like Rabiot.

Rabiot is frozen out of the team and Kurzawa should slot in instead of Bernat, but not fit just yet.

Fairly certain Rabiot has been banished from the starting 11 cos he won’t renew.

What a horribly unbalanced side that looks. If they show up like that, I expect us to win.

Agreed. Our forwards + Pogba would feast against that team.

Their MF is non existent if that's how they line up

Alves & Marquinhos in a midfield 2, got to be happy with that as a United fan if that turns out to be true. But Mbappe is going to have so much fun Vs Jones :nervous:

More like Kehrer instead of Meunier and I expect Verratti to be fit, Alves still has a lot to prove as a midfielder, plus one potential starter in midfield should be signed this window.

Buffon
Kehrer Marquinhos Silva Bernat/Kurzawa
Di Maria Verratti recruit Neymar
Cavani Mbappé
Tuchel has brought flexibility in tactical systems, so the setup could be very different.

Is Meunier injured or not playing well?

The games in 3 weeks, both of them will likely be back by then id guess. Neymars doesnt even look too bad.

Imagine what he was like at the end of the film Marley and Me? Boy must have been inconsolable.

Just seen the state of their midfield. Even with Verratti injured and Rabiot being a nobhead, how has it got that bad?

Looks a bit similar to how he broke his foot last year but not as bad. He's at the hospital for tests at the moment.
