I've always wanted to see Martial play for a possession based team, but I wouldn't hold my breathe.
Same, my only issue is I think it might be too little too late. If Martial was actually arsed and performed then he'd be a welcome addition, can't see it myself though.

not unless we sell, don't think we have the budget for DJ plus Antony and Martinez - nor am I sure Ajax will sell both to us.

Nice thought though
Yes we would look to sell a couple of our fringe center backs before signing Martinez and that's if Ajax would sell both him and Antony.

Lingard leaking again.
does make you think though - do we have someone talking to the press again, is it completely BS from the papers or is it someone just telling their mate about it and he talks etc and that's the stories come from.

I just don't see any of this coming out of City, Chelsea, Liverpool etc which is befuzzeling me

This is all positive, leaked to the press by the club itself..the dirty stuff are done by certain players Arnold confirmed that himself.

There are other people at the club too - support staff, photographers etc. It must be quite easy to tempt the lower paid employees into talking for cash

I wouldn't be surprised if it's Murtough or someone else in the hierarchy talking up Ten Hag, and tbh while it's exciting to read right now and will help lift the gloom around the club I wouldn't want to see it continue too far into the future.

This is the most optimistic I've been about united since the start of Mourinho second season when I thought we could go on and win the league like he usually does since then its been either mediocrity or absolute disaster.
We wouldn't win the league next season but there's fresh hope in the near future it might be possible.

I've said it a while back and got a lot of flack for it, but EtH will enjoy AWB's athletic qualities. Right now he is making an assessment if he can improve his technical/mental side.

If the answer is yes, then he will keep him. If no, he will ship him, simple as.
That would be true for any manager with AWB, as it's well known what his shortcomings are!

Taking all of these overly positive stories with a rather large pinch of salt. I'm sure all the same kind of thing was said about RR. Remember loads of this kind of thing about LVG too.

I was pretty optimistic at the beginning of last season. I don't think I met any United fan who wasn't, most especially after the Leeds win and then Ronaldo signing. It all seemed to be shaping up nicely, don't think anyone could have ever predicted how it all turned out from there on.

This isn’t leaking, it’s PR

And LVG was a good trainer. The players improved the most under him, and they all seemingly had a good relationship him.

But he still got sacked for not being good enough, which is my point.
