Jose is clearly happy. You can hear it in his voice through all the complaints about 'so many matches'.
2 games a week from now on. Lots of footie.

Highlights from Saint-Étienne’s 4-0 win over Lorient from the weekend.
That is some crap-tastic defending.We won't thrash them. We don't thrash teams. Not our style.A 3-0 win should be enough to put the game to bed. Just don't concede.
Rashford clearly not happy with Mourinho. :P
F. Pogba:
3-0 win will be a dream. But a two goal margin victory will be more than enough to see us through.
That defending though jeeez, they do look pacey on the counter Saint-Etienne so I guess that will be Mou's main focus, especially that there away first leg and will probably play for a 0-0 or at best a goal on the counter.
Is that pub football?
The purple shirts looked like they'd had a big xmas lunch and could barely move. Either that, or they'd been sedated before the game.
A sweatshirt, shorts with no tights. Now that's a man I can trust on a cold Wednesday night at Stoke.Back 4 set in stone then. No Carrick, Jones or Rooney in the squad.Is that floppy haired keeper Dean Henderson?
If so, does his involvement in training suggest Romero in goal with him on the bench?
We have done it a bit in the Europa League this season.
No, but we are doing a pretty good line in 3-0, 4-1 type victories this season.
Their fans certainly make a lot of noise!
Yes. No, we always have 3 gk’s in the squad until the last minute, guess in case one gets injured close to the match. Henderson, as were Pereira and Johnstone, is always ”the 19th player”, the last one who’s dropped from the match day squad. Romero will probably play on Sunday.
Is that confirmed ... no Rooney?
Si señor / señorita.
THanks - better change me line up ... I had Jose subbing him in!
de Gea
Valencia Smalling Bailly Blind
Herrera Pogba
Mata Mkhitaryan Martial
IbrahimovicIs Shaw in this video anywhere and who is the english coach who is leading the session? I dont remember one on staff.
That was my pick in the line up prediction.
Shaw next to DDG at 2:34. If you meant the English coach that leading the session in that same instance in the video then he has been here for awhile since LVG's days. He is something to do with warm up and injury preventing.
Most of them look like they can't be arsed. Very casual.
You know that's the video is during warming up, injury prevention session, don't you?Last edited:Why do we have a basketball hoop at the training ground? I worry about someone trying to dunk and breaking an ankle...
You were serious?
Under Mourinho too. Notice Arbeloa kinda lazy in some instances of this session, and remember how Arbeloa was praised by Mourinho for his professionalism.
See that the weather is far from ideal now than in Real Madrid video, if we approach our training session as stiff as LVG, then the players would be really stressed. It's understandable we should lighten up the mood and allow players more freedom in warming up session. It's not like they skip the exercise after all.Last edited:
It was in the presser Carrick and Rooney muscle strains Jones not back from injury against Wigan. Shaw won't get a game because he's sticking with the back 4 from the Watford match.Like a few have said in here - it'll be the same line-up as the Watford game.
With all this hype regarding them playing against each other, imagine the meltdown If Mourinho doesn't start Paul
That is almost certain to be the XI. Happy with it as well.Load of St Etienne fans queuing up at Football Museum this morning...I've gone with the same line-up against Watford (although I'm not convinced Martial will start) with Rashford, Rojo and Fellaini to come off the bench.
Also it's really great to be seeing us playing so much this year, it may be taxing on the players but at the fans it's always good to see United play!
Is Liverpool's trophy cabinet in Manchester?
Hopefully it will be this.
This. If they weren't assed Mourinho (of all coaches) would have a thing or two to say them. This is strictly a mental thing, to be relaxed and have good chemistry before a big game.
Its a very short snippet of part of a warm up session. The coaches will have them concentrating when needed. You have to let players relax at times and turn it on at other times.Hopefully a large win tonight but I'm not sure whether Saint-Etienne can concede 3 goals knowing that they'll park the bus.
Galtier will try to park the bus, be aggressive and he's really successful at parking the bus.
The team is not frightening, but has speed upfront. Their midfielders are good workers but can't produce much.
Be careful at counters and set pieces where Pogba and Perrin are very good at.
I predict a very good game from Ruffier the GK
