Pogba return a boost
"It will be a massive boost. He has come back bright and ready to go. He will be important for us. Having Paul back fit, forwards firing again we can get that spark back."

Goalkeeper dilemma vs Brighton

Erling Haaland latest
"I am focussing on the next two months and the ones who are here. Even though I have worked with him it is not fair to talk about Erling as Man Utd manager. I can talk about him as an ex coach of his but he will make his own mind up."

Aaron Wan-Bissaka development
"I think he has done remarkably well. Improvement has been there for everyone to see. Defensively still as solid, but he contributes more and more going forward.
Still very early in his full-back career. More to come."

Is there big GK decision to be made?
"I understand the question and narrative. Where there is tension, or potential, that is where everyone wants to hear a comment from me. I have got great options, top keepers, but both want to play. That will be decided on merit."

Henderson now No.1?
"The two keepers will probably both be needed. they both know we value them highly."

Hard to keep transfer plans quiet?
"I think the way the world works at the moment you'd like to do all your business on the quiet. But there are platforms everywhere, the media makes that more and more difficult. Hopefully we can sit here with players nobody had written about!"
No Haaland, Sancho, Grealish then

Is Haaland still a player of interest?
"Who we are interested in and who we will go for, as I just answered I am not going to comment on that."

Lindelof and Martial doubts
“Neither of them [Anthony nor Victor] trained this morning. We are still waiting for final confirmation on how they are.”

Hold on, is Bailly fit ? Who are we going to play, Tuanzebe presumably.
He's not smiling any longer, has obviously given up now and it's just depressive to look at. Should be refreshed and happy after a international break where everyone got two weeks off. How can he expect to motivate the players like that. Sack him before Sunday.
It’s always best to just assume that Bailly isn’t fit.
Just a guess but I feel like this means De Gea for league games and Henderson in the cup games
So back to business as usual with De Gea seen as the more important of the two?
I feel this could be the case yeah. Not sure I’m in favour of it though.
This mean Rashford will be half fit, but will play anyways and not be able to contribute much and get more tired for the next game.
We don't have money (technically we have, but we won't throw it as of now).Hard to keep transfer plans quiet?

Besides, City wants Haaland. More stable club structure, infinite money, Pep is staying, PL winners, declared open spot for a striker. Should be a no brainer if he wants to play in England that is.
We do appear to have more defensive cohesion with Henderson in the team. Might not be as good a shot stopper, but his other attributes help the back 4 more.
Damn football is back. These last 2 weeks were the most fun I had on internet recently just discussing some media entertainment and forgetting that football even exists with all its arguments and problems. Oh well, back to business I guess.
Fire him, he don't smile anymore.. Sarcasm over the Guys thinking he smile to much.
Had a 2 week rest though. The only reason he wouldn't play would be if there's deemed to be a high chance of recurrence rather than tiredness
@Samid chose that picture deliberately, it's the same one he's been using all season.
Should be a good week for us. Chelsea just lost, LC will probably lose and we should win tomorrow and beat Granada on Thursday. We can solidify 2nd and make a huge step to advance in the EL.
That’s us fecked then. Cheers.
Pleased to see this in particular. Think Ole is spot on here and it's both a fillip and a challenge for AWB. He has been looking better and better but still needs to up his game going forward and with the ball at his feet. Would love to see a Shaw-esque renaissance for him.
I don't know, I have a hard time seeing that City-Haaland would really be such a great fit. Not sure such a hyper-structured and methodical style of play really suits him. That doesn't seem to be his mentality, and it would take away some of one of his best traits, his unpredictability. It's much easier envisaging him in the sort of free-flowing attacking game we play (or try to play, at any rate).
Admittedly this is fairly vague and intuitive, and could turn out to be codswallop.
Didn't hear the press conference or read any quotes but embarrassed to be a United fan, standards have dropped so much
thanks for sharing x
