Not expecting much news, maybe some idea of what positions he wants to strengthen? Not something I'd stay up for personally.
The Manager's Press Conference | 21 July 3:30am BST
- Thread starter Raw

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

Worth a cheeky record I reckon 
I will stay up and listen to this, then report back to all the muppets.
No idea why somebody would want to stay up just to listen to a press conference... Bit weird really. It's at 10:30 for me so that's fine.
Will probably just say if somebody is injured or not and maybe say that a few players will play the full hour instead of just 45 minutes (that's probably going to be the next game though).

It's at 10.30 pm for me, wil probably watch it if i can find a decent river
They could be broadcasting LVG sitting and watching paint dry and people would probably watch.
If its half as good as the last one it will be brilliant.
De Gea and Valencia is still out.

Louis van Gaal confirms David De Gea & Antonio Valencia are still injured: "They've visited hospital today and they cannot play on Tuesday."
van Gaal in a bad mood. Bale bid rejected it seems
river please
Same lineups.
"He could fall down the stairs " 
"The surprise striker is not the one the media has written about" whatever that means.

Oh god. Smalling still talks like Moss
Darmian is backup for Valencia
More than 17 players sold... does he mean 18?
Mike Smalling?
Mike Smalling lmao
Mr Mike Smalling
I Swear
I Swear
Mike SmallingAnd the audio company have had a massive fail.
Bryan McClair is coming back.
The De Gea injury is interesting. He doesn't look injured in photos of training, but I guess that doesn't give a full indication.
So according to LVG Valencia is first choice RB. Guess we're aiming for 3rd
Lacazette?
But then again Aulas would have told the whole world we after him to get the bidding up.
Who was the first reporter to ask a question because as soon as LVG saw him he looked at Mike Smalling and grinned?
LvG was in a really bad mood lol, some things:
1) Darmian is a back up to Valencia? Nooo
2) Has had to adapt to the way United do things (and all the other clubs) rather than do what he thinks is right.
3) More open about transfers but likes to keep hinting that the media are idiots.
4) Loved the comment about Rooney falling down the stairs. Everyone seems to like Rooney as a captain.
5) He's looking forward to seeing if we can break down San Jose.

Dear God no...
I'm not surprised by the Valencia comment. He actually did have a good season tbh, though he offered very little going forward. Strong, pacey and did pretty well defensively (stats back that up too). LVG was probably very impressed with his ability to change positions so successfully. I get the impression that no position is nailed on though. If Darmian outperforms Valencia he could very well become 1st choice.
Ramos deal could potentially be close. Really intrigued by this 'surprise striker'. I really have no idea who it could be. Surely he has been reported by some media outlet?

Sam Johnstone playing the full 90 mins. The same 1st and 2nd half line-ups apart from that. I think Lindegaard is injured.
Been thinking of the players we've been linked to least if at all; Suarez, Messi, Neymar, Ibrahimovic, Lacazette, Benzema, Aguero, Costa, Griezmann, Higuain and Icardi. All of them tier 4/5 strikers, are any of them at all feasible? Maybe one or two, I have no clue who it could be.
That's it fam, its Huntelaar.
If it's someone that hasn't been written about then I think it's more likely to be a relatively small name.
I wonder if this is the corporate side at work. LvG strings the media along, the club gets written about for weeks, etc.

Johnstone to play full game. Cool
Did he actually say that Damian was second choice?
If Darmian is a backup to Valencia for the RB spot, maybe it is time for LVG to get off his pills. That would be mad. Basically an Italian international RB will be a backup to a player who was so atrocious as a winger that he had to be converted to a FB.
Also, this goes against the big boast which LVG made last presser about no one having a guaranteed starting place.

Wouldnt be against the idea...
Umm, didn't van Gaal say the other day that Valencia and Darmian would be competing for the starting spot?
