I'm not buying this Juve interest for Lukaku, I think that they are working on Pogba and not Lukaku….. once this deal will be done United will announce Savic….
Yeah and I think we will be announcing Neymar on the deadline day

Genuinely thought he had a head on his shoulders when he signed for us but the last year he’s come across as an absolute doughnut. Absolutely no excuse for a pro to get into the shape he was in and it’s been talk talk talk ever since.

Don’t let the door hit you.

What happened with "You are grown ass man, deal with it" and where is his personal minister of defense.
Only applies when he has a guaranteed starting spot regardless of how he plays.

He's been unprofessional ever since Mourinho got sacked and he lost his guaranteed starting spot. It began by giving interviews talking about his dream to play in Italy when we were fighting to get top 4 under Solskjaer and his behaviour has just gotten worse over the summer.
Don't forget him talking about how great Barcelona are and how much he'd love to one day play there.

2 days before we faced them in the CL.

Or the fact he piled on muscle to the point he could barely move, and if he did sprint it took him 20 minutes to recover.

fecking glad to see the back of him.

Considering that Pogba is unhappy to stay and that he would consider to join Real Madrid (but they will buy Van De Beek, so I doubt it) or coming back to Juve…. my opinion makes more sense than the current speculations between italian-english media about this Lukaku-Dybala swap. (of course Dybala + Mandzukic + cash for United would be involved in this deal)

I like Lukaku and I think under different circumstances he would’ve done well here. I have a huge smile because if he’s publicly slamming us and our players the deal for Dybala has to be close.
Good grief, imagine if the deal falls through and he is stuck here

I keep on seeing this but please tell me how you know Pogba is unhappy to be here?

This is coming from a long time since the Mourinho days, and btw just reading the quotes from his agent and his brother tells you everything about his situation and his feelings about staying at United. I though this was a clear fact.

I don't think he intended to insult anyone. He probably posted it as a joke as Mata picked up on it as well. He's just totally idiot for publishing such thing in public.

:lol::lol: So fecking unprofessional from his part, wonder what has him so triggered. Probably was waiting to post something like that for a while since he got dropped (presumably Ole said something about pace about why he wasn't in his plans??). Pace isn't the issue anyway, at least not top pace. Issue is he just isn't a good enough footballer. Won't be missed.

I'll be glad when he's gone.

Never was good enough.

His terrible misses vs Brighton and Spurs early on last season cost us 6 points.

AND he came into the season overweight.

Good riddance.

He’s picked up on the social media backlash, and he’s responded, fecking idiot - it’s in no way a joke. It may not have come across as intended, but it’s completly self serving.

If you were his team mate, you would be having a very setting word with him tomorrow. It’s completely unprofessional.

That was a open goal If I remember correctly and we actually tried to play positive football, if he had scored that we'd have won that game imo.

That depends if he's joking or not, which is something we can't decided by ourselves imo as we don't have a clue, but I don't see the purpose of him insulting his teammates. Doesn't make sense. He's an idiot, but I don't think he's a dickhead.

It was an open goal.

Score was still 0-0. If he scored that, we definitely win.

His misses cost us 6 points. The 2nd biggest culprit to our awful season(behind Jose of course).

The data was from a session on the 10th July. Also it is a max speed value, probably takes Lukaku half a pitch to get near that speed. Time from 0-25 km/ph would be a far better measure of true speed.

I’ve still not really forgiven him for his performance at home against City in 17/18, perhaps the worst individual showing I’ve seen at OT.

Denial mode is very strong. They are in talks with Lukaku but somehow every reliable reporter for Juventus and ManUtd are talking about Lukaku to Juventus and their agreed contract.

Unwarranted tweet by lukaku. I don't hate the lad and has always backed him to the point I thought of making a thread saying how underrated he is but that was unacceptable and unprofessional.

This thing with the top speed just shows Lukaku does not get our system and style of play. It's about speed but it's a lot more about acceleration and explosiveness and ability to press at an intense rate.

He runs a few yards for the gif after the game and then he puts his hands on his waist and gives someone a thumbs-up sign. That's not what Ole and we should be looking for in a striker/forward.

Hopefully this means he’s all but gone.

also, no way Dalot is the fastest player at the club. You only have to see Dan James run to know he’s by far the quickest, even ahead of Rashford. Also Luke Shaw is pretty fast, as is Wan Bissaka and they are both low down. This is either a one off thing or some of our fast players are told not to overdo it, perhaps for fear of hamstring injuries or niggles they are already carrying.

What a pathetic little child he is, hilarious he was talking about warrior mentality and all the leadership. Easy to talk when he was guaranteed starter even when he was stinking up the pitch week in week out.

Pretty sure this was a missunderstanding rather than him being deliberately bitchy.

Still, if he can't handle criticism here he really isn't going to like Italy very much. Especially not when playing for a team where the standard you're judged by is Cristiano Ronaldo.

At Everton he got stick and the standard there was Steven Naysmith

Was always going to happen, he never wanted to be here in the first place.

Mourinho convinced him is what I read and then since his sacking as you say he went off on one.

Lukaku and Pogba made mincemeat of Dunk and the Brighton defence. If Lukaku could shoot with his right foot he would have scored two.

Probably not very popular, but if Dybala doesn’t fancy it, I’d take 60m and take Matuidi and Mandzukic off their hands. They’d both be very useful for 1-2 seasons.
