would be a bit strange if we let him go, but mulensteen made him captain for the reserves to test his character this season and if he didn't respond then that could be enough to push him out the door. not a big loss the way i see it

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Neumayr has been released thats why he isn't coming. I got that from Rene yesterday.oskarutd said:

Thats the website though its a bit limited to be honest.
Please get him to spil the beans on on the released players if you can!HKRed said:
Neumayr was released but has come out with the squad in the end because they didn't have enough players. There is a big tournament in Switzerland next week and they are sending a full squad out. Rene wanted to keep working with him for another 12 months and farm him out on loan, so someone made an arbitrary decision to let him go by the sound of it. Neumayr has an offer from a German club, Duisburg I think it is, but nothing signed yet because he's talking to a couple of other clubs.oskarutd said:Please get him to spil the beans on on the released players if you can!
Madds Timm is one of the best young players they had, but he can't get his head sorted so he was released.
He reckons David Jones has everything except pace off the mark and he'll make it if he can get his mental game right. Time will tell.
I agree about Timm, he is a wonderful talent. Sad he will not make it.HKRed said:
Really hope Jones will make it.
Had a chat with Marcus this morning and he said the decision to leave was his in the end. He's 20 and wanted first team football and Fergie only offered him 5 to 6 games in the first team next year. A few teams in Germany wanted him but Duisburg have offered him regular first team football in the hole behind the strikers so he's taking it. He said nice money offered too, so he seems happy enough.oskarutd said:
Thanks, great to get the information straight from the players and managment.HKRed said:
Thanks mate. At first I thought about going to HK for this tournament, but then realised time does not permit.HKRed said:
It's really sad that Neumayr chose to go. IMO, 5-6 first team games is a fair account, considering his lack of experience and phyical presence. Maybe he spent too much time on adapting to English football in the first 2 years at United.
Wish Markus all the best!
Correction: According to the United magazine Ajose scored the goal and he is a u-14 player !oskarutd said:
We drew 4-4 against Chelsea in the Marveld tornement, lost 0-1 to Real Madrid, won Twente/Hercules 4-1, won Grol 6-2, but lost to Feyernoord 0-1. The team we lost against got through to the semis. We became 3rd in our poll and in the competion for 5-8 place we drew Schalke 1-1.
Mambo from the Newbies said:oskarutd said:
U14 IN Holland Done quite good did better than Chelsea anyway. Somebody called Nick got top goal scorer award
We scored 14 goals in the group, the most in the compition. I guess it is Ajose whom was the top scorer.
On Wednesday and Thursday, United's youth team plays in Zurich, Switzerland at the annual Blue Stars Fifa Youth Cup. Last year, United had by far the strongest team and won the Cup. I'm going to watch the lads tomorrow.
United are in Group 2 with Valencia, FC Zurich and FC Blue Stars. The other Group is Fluminense, Udinese Calcio, Grasshopper-Club and BSC Young Boys. Will keep you updated, for more info: www.youthcup.ch

Great, please keep us updated on the squad, scorers and who will be playing.Michel04 said:
Mambo in the newbies claims about the Marveld squad:
ONLY 2 UNDER 15 ALL THE REST U14 + 1 U13
Nicholas Ajose, Reece Brown, Niki-Lee Bulmer, Brad Byrne,
Jake Ellis-Rowland, Kristian Platt, Jason Lampkin, Ryan Longworth,
Jay Lynch , Gary McMaster, Oliver Norwood , Michael Potts, Tomos Roberts, Elliot Slingsby, Cameron Stewart, Ryan Tunnicliffe
Roberts, Ajose and Potts are u-14s, Norwood, I belive, is u-15. Platt was added later on, so maybe he is the u-13?
Ajose was the top scorer along with a player from another team.
We ended in 6th place in the competion.
Me too......flying in at lunch time from Manchester....will provide a full report when i return.......Michel04 said:
Great!TonyPark said:
Thanks, Tony & Michel04.

No info yet on squad and scorers.
Blue Stars won Zurich 1-2 so Blue Stars and Valencia are through.oskarutd said:
In the "losers cup" we play Fluminense or Udinese Calcio.
United were pretty poor tbh. Physically, they were strong, but technically we were very poor, our passing wasnt sharp. We never dominated and i thought the goals conceded were soft, they should have done better.
The defence was very weak, we conceded 5 goals in 2 games. No pace, no controll and didnt mark them well enough. Another big problem was how to get out of our half, our defenders passed the ball around but never really got forward except the long balls which were not a success.
No one really stood out, probably Mullan (not sure, he had the Nr. 11) looked good and pacey, good dribbler and set up the first United goal perfectly.
Those poor games are probably a result of our very young and inexperienced team (last year we had Rossi, Pique, Spector etc), yet the lads should have done better.
I expected much more, especially from Campbell, who was poor imo. Was lazy and did not really run much, stood around more or less and hardly created anything.
Bingi from the newbies will post further details about the game as he wrote down the line-ups, goals etc. Now we're playing against Valencia (who looked very strong)

team for each game and scorers would be very pleasant.Michel04 said:

Tomorrow Fluminense.
I updated my last post. More infos will follow, Bingi from the newbies will provide you with all the infos.oskarutd said:team for each game and scorers would be very pleasant.
We lost to Valencia 1-0.
The only goal we scored was scored by Rose i think. Mullan run down the left wing, got past 2 players and played to the middle. Perfect dribble and very pacey, looked good and promising.
We drew our last game against Valencia 1-1, Campbell the scorer and Evans hit the post with a freekick. A much better game and we finally played well. Last of the group though and wont progress.
Thanks, wrong information about our loss in the official site of this cup.Michel04 said:

Credit to Bingi again, who did an excellent job!
Probably too young for the Blue Stars Cup and i did not see him. Valencia had another good player, a left winger.andersj said:
But this little fella is amazing, that ball skill is extraordinary, especially for such a young kid! Anyone fancy a bid?
We have actually been linked with him, and since he have lived in England, it is not that unlikely. When he was ten years old he played against Stuttgarts U15 team, rumour has it that the coach stopped the game before halftime, Nikon had did six goals and was humiliating them.
Nikon is a huge Man Utd supporter, his favourite player is Ole Gunnar Solskjær.

Full report will be posted tomorrow.......just got back from Zurich and need to type it up......the newbie post seems correct.....Michael Barnes played in the Number 7 shirt and has just been given a 2-year professional deal.....Michel04 said:
Evans, Brandy and Barnes all picked up knocks and missed the final game...as did Shawcross who was suspended due to two yellow cards....Michael Lea went with the squad but picked up an injury and couldn't play.....Gibson and Sean Evans were injured and stayed in Manchester....
It was our youngest ever Youth team to play in the competition and although we should have done better, were playing against lads up to two years older....
More info later......
PS....Neumayr, Picken, Timm, Moran, Eddie Johnson all released...

United starlet pens new deal
05-06-2006 10:39
Manchester United have rewarded young midfielder Ritchie Jones for his progress this season with a new two-year contract.
Jones has been tipped as one of the brightest young prospects at Old Trafford for some time and made his first-team debut against Barnet last season.
Jones went on to play for United in the FA Cup as well and the 19-year was a star man as the reserves won the second string title.
The 19-year-old is now looking to push on over the next couple of seasons and establish himself around the Reds senior squad.
