wouldn't surprise me if we extended by two years!This is Matic's final year.. we have an option to extend it by a year.. Do we think it'll happen?

Sanchez and Fred - Spider and Slabhead?Ole's song won't work anymore, we HAVE to keep Sanchez and Fred.
There was a recent article with an ex academy player and he cited McKenna’s growing influence and how McKenna had used videos of Fred at Shaktar and told the players to study him.Matic will get games.
The fact Sanchez and Fred weren’t in the match squad for gameweek one speaks volumes. I sense the club wants to get rid of Sanchez. Fred is just a weird one. It’s like the club spent £50m on him but had never seen him play, then realised in training he wasn’t very good.
Knowing us we will.This is Matic's final year.. we have an option to extend it by a year.. Do we think it'll happen?
Sell Fred for a profit?Last chance for Fred in my opinion. If not we can sell him for profit next season.
Sanchez is not match fit yet. Ole said in his press conference he’s 4/5 weeks behind the rest due to Copa, injury and a break.Matic will get games.

Ah, so that explains why McTominay gave the ball away so much then. Been watching Fred feck up the basics all summer.There was a recent article with an ex academy player and he cited McKenna’s growing influence and how McKenna had used videos of Fred at Shaktar and told the players to study him.
Will he ever been match fit though? It was general excuse for him all season last year. We were never really told what his injuries were.Sanchez is not match fit yet. Ole said in his press conference he’s 4/5 weeks behind the rest due to Copa, injury and a break.
He had a 3 week extra break because of the Copa America.Will he ever been match fit though? It was general excuse for him all season last year. We were never really told what his injuries were.
What?Sell Fred for a profit?
Fred lacks the concentration, discipline, and consistent passing & accurate passing range required of a United CDM. Doesn't provide the goal threat we should ask of our box-to-box and attacking midfielders. Other than that, his all-round game looks pretty good. Fred would be the last of the 3 I'd move on. I'd sell Sanchez before replacing. With Fred and Matic, I'd want to see their replacements play competitive matches first.
- We paid £55m
- Rojo wanted out this summer but the board wanted £25m for him; which would be a profit. No takers.
- Sell players for the market price, not a profit.
Harsh.The holy trinity of unwise spending.
I wouldn't be surprised, City were linked with him so maybe that turned our heads. Then again, we bought Bebe because Real Madrid were linked to himMatic will get games.

"he's bad at literally everything a midfielder should be good at, but he's still a very good player!"What?
Just checking, that's how I read it too."he's bad at literally everything a midfielder should be good at, but he's still a very good player!"
I feel the exact same way about Fred yet somehow I still want to give him another chance. He'll probably disappoint me but oh well.. For example in our midfield set up yesterday I wouldn't mind trying Fred instead of Pereira and see how that would turn out.All 3 are done here in my eyes. Fred is just not good enough to be playing here. His first touch wont get better. He is just too laid back and relax on the ball, we have plenty of players like this here already. His high energy is the only saving grace. He is lucky our midfield bar Pogba is relatively average compared to the best or our past.
Fred had that weird "marriage"-break and joined up later with the squad as well. No need to read too much into this until maybe 10 games into the PL-season.He had a 3 week extra break because of the Copa America.
It'll happen. This club doesn't like players leaving on a free.This is Matic's final year.. we have an option to extend it by a year.. Do we think it'll happen?
