Here's a question: so he terminates his contract with Sporting and then has his medical, but what happens if he fails the medical and that means we don't sign him?
City will get him for nowt.
He looks like a player who does well playing in the hole with runners around him. If it's one thing we have it's willing runners (Williams, Rashford, Martial, James), so hoping the team clicks into another gear with him.
Django unchained
Cantona was the missing piece in the puzzle. We have quite a few pieces missing.
The big one you're forgetting, who I think will benefit the most from him (and Pogba when he's back from injury) is Greenwood, his movement especially running in behind has always been incredibly intelligent.

If it's one thing we have it's willing runners (Williams, Rashford, Martial, James), so hoping the team clicks into another gear with him. Fred does a pretty good job of transitioning us from defence to attack and with Fernandes we a player that can pick out that final pass (esp. in transition).
Couple of concerns are around how he'll do against a team that just wants to defend with two banks of four. We really need someone who can dribble in attacking areas. A world class RW this summer + keep Pogba + add some depth in a couple of positions and I think we'll be solid.
Rashford, Martial, James and Greenwood are going to wonder what the hell has hit them! Exactly what we've needed for some time.
He terminates it with a caveat.
Other way around
He's right, one of our problems has been how static the attackers can be, as they all prefer the ball into feet. We weren't even making enough of those runs with Pogba in the side.
I agree that its the worst its been. But the ones that hog the wage bill while being useless or surplus to requirements are steadily being got rid of and replaced with better and, more importantly fitter, not crocked, players.
Fair enough
That's not a problem then if he ends up scoring a lot. I tend to like United players showing the confidence to shoot from a distance. Many a times, United players are just passing the ball around the penalty area and opposition defenders know they just have to sit back, stay narrow, and intercept the ball.
That is so true. And they call Matic static?!
Scholes-ish (the way he plays if first time with top of boot)?The pass at 1:07 is unreal
Our fast players are going to benefit from his passing range. Hopefully Pogba stays, that would make our midfield solid.
It's crazy that this guy, who's knowledge of Manchester is probably limited at best, is just gonna hop on a jet and that's it. Whole life moved in an instant.
Yes, it would be really helpful especially when we are countering. Also, with Fernandes, we would have three players who can find that exquisite pass in Pogba, Mata and now Fernandes. We could seriously do with such players.

To be fair, when Martial has somebody with the technical ability to play off in tight spaces, he can come up with some mesmerising stuff. Himself and Mata have at times linked up beautifully, just nowhere near often enough. Hopefully Bruno can be the man to really link with him because we all know the talent is there.Fair enough
I think he's been doing okay since he moved to CF. He no longer stands around like a Zombie on the left waiting for ball to feet. But yeah he's not really the gold standard for off the ball running.
I think long range shots and better deliveries on set pieces will help in that respect. Going forward we do need a world class dribbler with output and a top DM to shore things up in midfield especially if Pogba stays.

So is 18. I hope it's 18, he reminds me of Scholes.
Got to take objection this post. Andreas can see a pass, it’s just always the wrong pass
