I'd like to see this new contract.

I’m pleased he’s staying a good option as a back up to lukaku (remember how much we missed a target man in the final) plus he can do a job in midfield. He’s a good asset to the squad. It also means we won’t be being held to ransom for Arnautović
He nominated Mctominay as his POTY at the United awards too.
It's hard to imagine what goes in Jose's head these days.
Jesus nearly some cracker there. Shame he isn't any use.
I'd like to sign that contract. Basically doing feck all for 100k per week.
Watching England/Belgium now would suggest that’s exactly what he’d be doing if true, the term stealing a living has never been so true.
What? He was good. Infact one of the best player on the pitch today.
Looked better than any of the midfield trio for England, not sure if that's saying much however.
Probably MOTM tonight.
Considering how much people rave about RLC and Dier I think Fellaini did well in comparison.
Give him the #10 shirt. #sarcasm
So why didn't Ranieri do that at Nantes? Monaco? Greece? Inter Milan? Roma? Valencia? Parma? and on, and on?
If he is supposedly able to motivate squads and get the very best at his disposal, why hasn't he done it anywhere else? Why has no other manager ever done it in the Premier League?
Why didn't Pep come close to winning the league in his first season with City? Why didn't he get the very best out of Zabeleta, Hart, Iheanacho, Bony, Nasri, Navas? Why is he on his 3rd big name goalkeeper in 2 seasons?
You can't teach average players to become world class, that's why.
Comparing Mourinho's need to upgrade our squad in all areas with Ranieri freakishly winning the title with Leicester is a very flawed comparison.
just do not want this gangling prat to ever pull on a Manchester United shirt ever again.
I'm afraid the side he inherited WAS full of dross players.But there aren't 20 dross players, where the hell have you gotten that number from
Jones
Depay
Rooney
Januzaj
Blind
Shaw
Fellaini
Schneiderlin
Schweinsteiger
Darmian
McNair
Powell
Blackett
Valdes
Young (reborn under Mourinho)
Valencia (reborn under Mourinho)
Rojo (reborn under Mourinho)
That's a good 17 players I can think of off the top of my head who were considered first teamers by the previous manager, holding up valuable first team spots. None of which were good enough at that present time to mount a title challenge. Credit to Mourinho for transforming Valencia, and Young's fortunes but they were poor wingers too. Even if you disagree with a few on that list, which is subjective of course, its still a raft of sh!te that shouldn't be at a club like Manchester United. The upgrades he's made in the transfer market have been obvious and it's not finished yet.
Many of those players aren't currently playing so there aren't 20 or so players to get rid of as of now
fecking hell this is depressing news if true
This is probably one of the best posts in this thread to be honest.
The overreaction has been ridiculous. I don’t necessarily want Fellaini to stay, but I trust Jose knows what he is doing, after all it is his job on the line!
He is not a starter for us, and with the signing of Fred, I feel we have enough depth in central midfield for now.
Mourinho just wanted as much exposure of McTominay as possible because he's the youth product he's brought into the first team squad.He nominated Mctominay as his POTY at the United awards too.
It's hard to imagine what goes in Jose's head these days.
Yep, he'll be hanging his hat on that for the foreseeable, a nice comfort blanket for him when people ask why Shaw and Rashford haven't kicked on, why Mensah, and Tuanzebe aren't anywhere in sight, and why Martial is ripping it up elsewhere.
Never thought I'd hear hear me say this but Fellaini was pretty impressive today, at the highest level. Even had some zip and snap to his game. I'll still celebrate the day he leaves United, but accolades where due...
His technique is dire. That shot he had towards the end...opened his body and leant back. No surprise it hit the side netting.
It was an international reserves game that no one was arsed about. Not sure it was highest level.
Aside from your posts being fecking shite, what has Jose praising mctominay got to do with Fellaini contract talk?
well done lad, great performance. Haters will always hate.....
Awful news if true. I hope it's just a case of financial sense that Utd can now sell him as opposed to just letting him go on a free transfer.
This is the crap I don’t understand.
Fellaini isn’t good enough for a club of man United’s caliber... okay I understand but the limits people go to discredit this guy is just sad
Haven’t you heard it is unacceptable for us not to have Toni Kroos as our fecking fourth choice midfielder

Funny people like you, come riding in like they own the thread, probably looking for a pat on the back from like minded soles.
If you make a post that is slightly off topic, or not in fashion, then sure as hell someone will tell you soon enough.
The thing is, this is what people don't realise. Just how bad our squad was. Maybe not 20 players, slight exaggeration. But 14-16 or so really poor squad players, some still hanging on from Fergies era, some from Moyes' failed era, and lots from LVG's failed era. It has been an absolute mess since 2013, yet you look over the road and City have been intelligently acquiring top international players long before Pep's arrival and one has to admire the transfer policy. Pep has come in, spent plenty more on tweaking it to be his squad with his tactics.
What we're going through right now is what City started when Mancini left. Just look back through their transfers, it's pretty impressive.
Impact subs, which is precisely what Fellaini is.
Read again my friend. I said 20 dross players when Mourinho took over. Not 2 years later. Maybe you need to switch your PC monitor, because you are reading something other than what I wrote.
In reflection I've had a good look at the squad he inherited, and I reckon 14-16 are nowhere near good enough to mount a title challenge as posted recently in this thread.
Do you really think the squad Mourinho took over in 2016 was packed with world class players ready to win a title?
I perhaps should have worded it better. I was meaning at the start of Mourinho's reign, ie 2016. Since then he's gone on to replace around what 8-10 of them. I'd say around 15-20 players in the 2016 squad were not good enough to win a PL title.
Firstly, it's 'souls'.
Secondly, your post has been done 50 times already by like minded souls.
Thirdly, keeping a thread on topic is pretty much the done thing on forums.
Can you believe this shite?
The lengths some cnuts go to in order to spam and poison threads with their bile even on completely unrelated threads.
They hate the fact that their false premises get thrown back in their faces time and again. Jose praised a youth player and builds him up and they have an absolute fit.
They actually think he gives a feck what a bunch of morons think on the web that he would make decisions as a fecking “comfort blanket”
Let’s ignore Rashford, Lingard, mctominay etc getting loads of game time. No let’s pick players with their first season on loan. You would think youth team players never went on loan before
Lol... calm down mate, I simply post when I see unfair comparisons and judgement. I'm actually a complete neutral when it comes to Mourinho.
I simply defend finishing 2nd to a record breaking City with a half-built squad in comparison to a well built squad 4-5 years in the making... pretty valid defence. Check out their transfers in the last 4-5 years and note how well they've built their squad in comparison to United before Mourinho came in.
God forbid people debate about football on an internet football forum
And what were Shaw Mensah and Tuanzebe doing before Mourinho came in?
Forget the fact he's transformed Lingard, Young, Valencia, Lukaku, our entire defensive unit, our league standing, our cup final presence. It's all Mourinho's fault Shaw broke his leg, struggles to keep fit, its Mourinho's fault Poch couldn't keep Shaw fit at Southampton, Mourinho's fault Shaw couldn't keep fit under LVG
I worded it badly, I specifically meant there were 20 at the start of his reign. My bad. I've had to literally explain this to every response I got.
I honestly believe that Belgium national team has better players than Man Utd. I might be wrong.
But we are happy when Marouane plays because we think he's a great player. He has his role to play in our team.
I'll never understand how much s*** Man Utd "supporters" can throw at their own players.
The Afroman will score in the final of this Worldcup! Have fun at me. Insult me... but mark my words!
Good luck to England too!

Not only is it off topic it is baseless and pathetic that’s the point. Your literally lying and making stuff up like a rabid lunatic. It’s actually disturbing to see someone exhibit such an incessant agenda at every opportunity.
Typical behaviour when people like you get called out they resort to “you think you own the thread”
The key point is even yoirnoff topic BS was incorrect in and of itself. You just don’t like people calling you out on it. Just another spoilt brat post.
Only if Rashford, Martial and Sanchez are all injured/suspended, and even then.
