Not seen a great deal of him playing, but have watched out for him the Europe this season. I think he looks like he will be a top top striker, and would be a great buy for Utd. Interesting to see it being reported in Austrian press that the deal is done, time will tell. But that would be...

I'd never seen Haller play before he moved to West Ham in the summer, but I've been impressed with the little I've seen of him so far, though he does seem to go down easily and complain for too long at not getting decisions rather than getting back into the game. Dont think he is the best...

I can't claim to have followed Nagelsmann's career too closely, but I know enough to believe that he will be on the radar for most, if not all of the top clubs. A manager making such a good impression at a young age is going to attract attention, and his progress will be followed by the top...

While I agree with your observations and concerns, it remains to be seen whether he will be the answer when he is put in to the first team proper. (Playing in that team against Astana isn't a great barometer of him playing in a full strength side.) I absolutely hope that he becomes the answer...

Ole appears to have worked very hard to move players out and clear out those who have done little or nothing positive in recent times. Though I still find it startling that Jones and Smalling got those new deals last year. However he needed at least another 2 players in during the summer. That...

I think there is a good chance that Scholes will do a decent job there. He clearly knows what he is up against, and has the belief to go in there and do what so many other managers have struggled to do, as he alluded to in his press conference. Scholes has a steel about him and I expect to see...

Think he would be an excellent option to have in rotation with Dalot, unless a Laird or so is ready for the first team from the youth ranks. Would be great to see a natural full back playing there, and not a converted winger, as well as both Valencia and Young have done at full back.

There is probably too much to do to catch all 3 of the teams at the top of the league this season, but if any reason to believe in the Champions League we only need to look at the past 3 years, where Real have been rotten at home but won 3 CLs on the belt. This is a squad more than good enough...

Right now i think Fred is having to bide his time under Ole as Matic and Herrera have been doing so well. From what ive seen of Fred, and from what ive read from journalists more familiar with him, i see him as the box to box midfielder in a 3. I think thats where we would see the best from him...

I'd have to say my favourite of them has to be Vodafone, as it is such a great fit for any of the kits. Also the type of sponsor that won't have to get removed for kids kits or in some countries we see the team play in. Helps that there were some cracking Nike kits with the Vodafone sponsor. I...

Don't think it's at all unreasonable for Utd to be looking at Southgate and considering him. You have the biggest club in the country, who are in the process of looking for a new manager. The current national team manager is doing very well, and ticking boxes that need to be ticked from a Utd...

He may well be the long term answer, I hope he is given serious consideration if he shows up very well and leads an unlikely title challenge. As for internal appointments being better than external appointments, I personally think that somewhere in the middle, like Ole, is best. Where someone...

While it's important not to get too carried away after battering Cardiff and Huddersfield, 2 teams I expect to be playing Championship football next season, it's still great to see a Utd team wipe the floor with these teams the way they should be. That's not to be disrespectful to smaller teams...

Black shorts generally are ok for a change, but this year they have to be the first choice because of the design of the top. Personally I really like this season's kit in terms of how it looks, but I hate the plasticky feel of the logos added to the kit.

See Mark Fish has been mentioned. Remember the amusing defence they lined up with a few times one year they played with a back 3 at Charlton where it was (Mark) Fish, (Jorge) Costa, (Jonathon) Fortune. I appreciate I'm easily amused though!
