Sarri on being surprised by United's start
A little bit, but it can happen. We are talking only about 8 matches, they are doing well in the Champions League so they can improve in the Premier League, we are talking about two months.

I think Jose must be leading the Line-Up Prediction League on here because there is no other reason to give us zero info on injuries or team news 
I know who you are @Pat Evra
EDIT sorry @DanNistelrooy you are rightly current score prediction king!

Doesn't seem like much said, which is probably for the best for us in terms of the papers having less to write, hopefully we can get a positive result tomorrow.
Said some really good things about Shaw, seems really happy with him.

He's still very handsomefecking bags under those eyes
He's still very handsome
Confused. Caf experts tell me Spurs, Chelsea and soon Arsenal all have stronger teams
He's still very handsome
My answer is "no answer"
Did you employ a special lip reader to get that
Nice of him to single out Herrerra's attitude.13:27
Player availability
When asked ho might return, he told MUTV:
Players that are going to make an effort to be available for the team, like Herrera. He trained two days but, with the situation we have, is one step forward and he’s ready to help us.
Diogo Dalot?
He knows. We may not be the best team but we have some really good players that a manager like him would definitely get more from.

Shaw did everything he said he would
“The players are different. Men are different, players are different. And they react in different ways to the development process and Luke reacted in the best possible way. In these difficult moments, the moments where he was not selected, he was not playing regularly, he was saying the same all the time - 'I want to play for you, I want to play for United, I'm going to make it and I'm going to be the player you want me to be'. And he did it. He faced the process in a brave way.”
Luke has improved in so many ways
“He started this season - before the season starts in the best possible way. Where you went for holidays with a club fitness coach and he arrived on day one in much better conditions than a player that just has a holiday for fun and rest. Then, by the tactical point of view, I think he absorbed all the information, all the work that we accumulate in the past years. Mentally he got stronger and of course the happiness of this season, to start playing regularly, to feel that the place was his place and I think also the national team, in spite of he was not very happy with his injury against Spain, that feeling also helped. So it is a culmination of factors.
“I think it's an important contract for the club to keep him and it's important for him because it's what he wants. I always like the players to be happy so when he gets exactly what he wants, which is a new contract with Manchester United, I think was good news for us.”

Great presser, as per usual.
I like his pressers
I didn't see itDid you employ a special lip reader to get that
Yeah he's very good at pressers. Very good. If we gave managers points based on pressers Mourinho would be the top.
Cheeky. Don't forget to post few more of those kind. Never enough.
The fume on you when he's sacked soon is going to be amusing.They clearly do though. And you missed out City and Liverpool who obviously do.
It's not unusual for a manager to say something like this before a game.
If the football and results were as good as his pressers I’d imagine most here would be happy with Jose.
I won't need to because he'll be gone soon enough but whatever makes you feel better I guess.
"My answer is no answer" could become a thing. Catchy.
I had no idea any of these were injured other than Rojo
It's sarcasm. You're one of those who just can't let anything positive just pass by without downing it.
Bit paradoxical mind you.
I like the way you think.
Interesting take on things. We have some good players, no doubt.
If you really believe that Spurs have a better squad than United, given the massive difference in spending over the last few years, then that says a lot about how well (or badly) Poch and Mourinho have managed their respective squads.
Probably does yeah. I do believe they have a lot of players that would get into our team. A few out of their defence and almost all their midfield and attack would get in.
I think it shows that Poch isn't the man for us though, if he can't get them doing much more than us.
Yeah, but player-for-player, the best? It's common that managers and players say nice things about opponents. It's a way of leading the opposition into self-assured over-confidence. There's no way we're man-for-man the best.
So is there any update on the list or no ? Shaw and Big Fella will be needed
I didn't miss out city and pool because I know they have a good case for having a stronger team. Arsenal, Spurs and Chelsea I don't agree with. The gap between the latter teams and us is coaching. Coaching is why teams like Derby outplay us
Yes a fair point. Most of their defenders and their forward would certainly start for United, although Pogba and De Gea would probably start in their team. It's hard to say how Poch would do with a massive budget as he simply doesn't have that at Spurs though.
He’s bound to talk us up before tomorrow’s match. Win, lose or draw the result looks better for Chelsea if United “player by player may be the best in the league”
Narrator’s voice. “This isn’t true”.
