  1. Alexis Sánchez | 2018/19 Performances

    I thought last season that Sanchez was just trying too hard to make the right impression. He never seemed fully relaxed and was a bit too anxious to do the right thing. That seems to have continued through to today. I think until he has a decent run of four or five games, we'll continue to see...
  2. Antonio Valencia to be new club captain

    It probably makes at least some sense. Valencia is one of the players who's been at the club the longest, probably has the respect of all his team mates and his notable work rate would hopefully inspire others. But I'm just not convinced of him as our first choice right back. A squad player...
  3. United Tour Squad? | Alexis visa issues sorted

    Sanchez is a player who really need to perform this season. He's been mostly disappointing since his arrival.

  4. Preseason Tour Game 1: Man Utd vs Club America (Friendly, Friday 20th July 03:00 BST)

    He does look a good prospect. I've long since got excited for pre season games. It's too slow and a large part of the team won't even be in the squad for the season. I'm only really fussed once the competitive season starts.
  5. Should Pogba be our new captain?

    I think it would make complete sense for Pogba to be captain. There's a video doing the rounds of him giving a team talk prior to the World Cup final. He obviously has the leadership necessary. I think the players would respond to him and it might even push him a little more to perform for Utd...
  6. Daley Blind to Ajax| Deal to be done at 16m euros plus 5m in bonuses

    Probably just a bit too slow for Mourinho's liking. It's a shame, as I liked him. Decent squad option.
