"O Jogo insists today that the Eagles want a loan deal, as they can’t afford the €17m demanded by the Red Devils for a permanent transfer."Tweet

I see what you mean but I try to have a blanket rule. Spells of being unsettled are fair enough and players have a right to keep eyes open or expect certain things where they are. Any long term speculation that’s unfounded should be addressed, it causes unsettled feelings in fans and I imagine team mates. You can get away with more if the performance level is so high you hold all the cards. Pogba has been largely disappointing and had three strong World Cup performances that have elevated his status from a player dropped last season whose form was patchy at best to an irreplaceable world beater. If you don’t want to be at united, then go. My mottoUsually I’d agree, but not in our current state, we need to desperately keep hold of our few great talents, otherwise whoever comes in next to manage us is in deep trouble. Replacing a player like Pogba in this current market would be a nightmare. Thankfully it’s a worry we won’t have this summer.
Mundo deportivo really?
Was going to make the same joke until I realised that the poster was not English.Tweet

I think being a pre-season game makes things worse, no pressure to win, perfect environment to experiment (within reason), first team positions up for grabs, test yourself against some of the best players in the world etc etcIt was a pre season game, ffs.

Ah West Ham, they never learn. Keep filling up with formerly sought-after players, forgetting they probably don’t have the motivation and just moves for the money. Felipe Anderson is also going to be a huge disaster of a signing.Tweet

Fernandinho is the perfect player for City. I think with Jorginho they would have struggled, as no one in that midfield would have provided any steel.Tweet

Probably because most were trying to avoid suffering injury in a meaningless pre season game right before the actual football starts.I think being a pre-season game makes things worse, no pressure to win, perfect environment to experiment (within reason), first team positions up for grabs, test yourself against some of the best players in the world etc etc
So when you ignore the score (it could have been embarrassing btw) you look at the PERFORMANCE, that's what pre-season games are about, and sadly depending on personal opinion very few played well.
Actually pre-season games are all about fitness for the games to follow that actually matter.I think being a pre-season game makes things worse, no pressure to win, perfect environment to experiment (within reason), first team positions up for grabs, test yourself against some of the best players in the world etc etc

I assume Mr Dawson and the rest of his media tabloid chums will give us an easy ride when we're 19 points off the top again then?Tweet

"Will be like a new signing."James Wilson.
Mata, Herrera, Sanchez and Periera all looked 'fit', does'nt guarantee they'll pass the ball to each other though ?Actually pre-season games are all about fitness for the games to follow that actually matter.
Absolutely not.Let's hope that's not the excuse on Friday !
Nail on head. They also don’t realise that a difficult season for Jose is standards are not as low as a person paid to make things up for a living.Ahh the classic "Remember, United aren't that bad after all, they're at least good enough for it all to be Mourinho's fault when they don't win the title".
