    They are closer now are they not? They should qualify for next season. Mourinho in charge they are good enough to finish kn the top 4 of the Prem no?

    Yes on paper we have a very good squad, but the game isn't played on paper. My personal expectation for next season is a title challenge, and at least one cup win. 

  2. It is getting serious. The negotiation between Juventus and Manchester United for Paul Pogba has officially begun. It was a face-to-face meeting between the clubs today, and the first offer has been tabled. United's Executive Vice President Ed Woodward was present for United, as was Pogba's agent Mino Raiola. Representing Juventus: club executives Marotta and Paratici.  101 million euros was the first offer (higher fee than it cost for Real to buy Bale, so potentially already the biggest transfer fee ever).



    It appears that Pogba is leaning towards agreeing to a move to England, thanks in part to the enormous salary (13 million euros net of taxes) United has offered to the player. Juventus seems to understand Pogba's motives, which could demonstrate the club's reasoning behind the serious consideration of United's offer, without in reality intending to accept.

    In the next few days, Juventus will likely be submitting a counter-offer of up to 120 million euros, plus bonuses tied to Pogba's future output and future contracts. Raiola's role in the deal could also be another aspect to consider between the clubs. At this point, it seems only to be a question of fees and prices. Juventus is digesting for the first time for real that Pogba could be leaving, and choosing Manchester United.  But no question that this is a serious effort for United to land Paul Pogba.

    All the Messi fans / Ronaldo haters got quiet so fast :0

     

    This is gr8 hehehehehehe

    Why are always on Ronaldos nuts? Especially with the way he left United. Yes he was a great player for us but I would not actively support Real just cause he is on that team. Beckham was my idol growing up but once he left United I didn't start to support Real/PSG/Milan/Galaxy. 

     

    No one player should be above the club.

    I'm so confused because you said Afroman was your best mid and then you call him a major liability.  Herrera is not an all-star but he is very good when playing most central midfield positions, including deeper roles (just not super-deep).  And with Bailly-Smalling combo you can push Blind back up to defensive mid again.

    He was our best midfielder but the point was that's how $&!# our midfield was, someone who I don't think any United fan rates was our best midfielder. 

     

    I love Herrera but his best football with United was when he played on the right/middle of our front 4. 

     

    I don't know how much of a role Blind will have in the team, Mou even said in his presser that he prefers specialist to utility players.
