TheRussianRocket. Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Victor Lindelof seen signing United shirt for a fan outside. All but set in stone now. Not even going to act or pretend like I know much about him. Swedish defender, shouldn't be worth much. Don't really see the rush especially if the price goes up. Rather just wait till the next transfer window and/or get a more experienced defender. But likewise, same was said about Bailly and he's turned out phenomenal albeit the nagging injuries here and there so don't mind either way. However, have read good things about him. Supposed to be good with his feet and head, a good passer, and strength being ability to take the ball upfield. Although he played RB during the 2015 U21 Euros, his best position and preference is centreback. He seems a bit overpriced for 'where he's at' in his career but Mourinho tends to know his CB's well so I trust him. Hopefully he'll be a solid addition to our options and it doesn't take him long to settle with Bailly going to be away at the AFCON and Jones/Smalling bound to have their injury problems again.

United going to have that Swede connection now. I know probably just as much as most of you know about Lindelof. He's going to be solid insurance just in case Jones, Rojo, Blind can't stay injury prone. Smalling, Bailly are going to be out for a while. Starting Bailly thay one match was a mistake and Mourinho rushed him into the lineup which he ends up aggravating the injury again. There's probably going to more moves to come. They could always use another midfielder like James maybe.. I want to see a CR7 return at some point in the next few years. Highly unlikely of it happening with his signing of an extension with Madrid but wouldn't rule out him opting out and pursuing a transfer back to his former club for a reunion with Rooney.

Beary Sweet Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Another win for United as they extend their unbeaten streak to 10 matches and 4th consecutive victory over Sunderland 3-1. Blind got the party all started with a nice finish after Rojo set up Ibra, who was able to lash it back to Blind who slotted it bottom corner. The emergence of Ibra and Pogba continue as Pogba played a through ball for Ibra who made no mistake putting it in the bottom corner of the net. Then Mkhitaryan made an immediate impact almost but he ended home tucking home a nifty goal which put the game away. De Gea also had one hell of a match with one of his saves being able to save VanAanholt's free kick early. Great match for United overall. They were able to put pressure on the Spurs and City to keep doing the same and ultimately leap frog them sooner rather than later. Hope they keep it going. Go United! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beary Sweet Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I think Ibra just scored a goal but got called back because he put a high foot on Valdes... taking a 2nd look at it, the goal should've counted and United should be up 1-0 at half. What more could Ibra do with that ball played in by Martial after hitting the post just before himself also.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beary Sweet Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 (edited) YEEEEESSSS Ibra and Pogba set up Martial to equalise vs Middlesbrough and Pogba heads United on top after a nice cross by Mata.

Beary Sweet Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Great late come from behind win by United and deservingly got all 3 points vs Middlesbrough. Martial and Pogba hit the post early on in the 1st half but Ibra's goal should've counted late in the 1st half as that was not a high foot on Middlebrough's keeper. Martial looked really good all game and probably deserved 2-3 more goals in this game. Pogba and Ibra's brilliant play continue setting up Martial for the equalizer while Pogba headed the go ahead goal for United after Mata delivered a perfect cross for him. Also great subs made by Mourinho. He put Mata in the game for Fellaini and that really got the front foot going for them. Rashford looked real good and could've scored one off the bench. Rojo solidified things in the back line when he got subbed on. Well deserved 3 points as we enter the New Year with title ambitions and a top 4 spot on the line. Go United!

AV. Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 More accurately, Middlesbrough played how a team of their calibre would want to play at OT and had a bad 5 mins late in the game which costed them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainCanuck001 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Middlesbrough defended very well, got lucky with the non-goal, but Uniteds class showed through in the end. Absolutely buzzing right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beary Sweet Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Make that 6 wins in the last 6 for United and unbeaten in the last 13 in all competitions. Big 2-0. West Ham went down a man early in the game after a clumsy challenge on Jones. 1st half was a sleeper with Lingard and Valencia coming the closest to breaking the deadlock after Herrera delivered a ball into the 6 yard box and the West Ham keeper made a good save. Then Mata came on for the 2nd half and he made a good positive impact. Rashford also made a solid contribution to the match setting up Mata who made no mistake tucking it home. Then Ibra put the nail in the coffin in the match with Herrera's relentless pursuit of the ball which found a path for Ibra who absolutely thumped the ball home. Great match overall. Took advantage of having the extra man and deserved full 3 points. Hope they keep it going. Go United! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainCanuck001 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 (edited) Refereeing has been extremely poor this season, never a red for Feghouli and Ibra was offside.

otherwise Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 so apparently Sanga has to respond to the FA about an IG post he made with the caption "10 against 12 still fighting and winning as a team" #together I find this laughable as it's pretty obvious what he meant and since when has the FA ever povided an explaination about any decision they make.

Lateralus91 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 (edited) Some Italian journalist reporting Shanghai SIPG making a 150m € offer for Aubameyang. Wages allegedly 40m €/year. Would make him the highest paid player in history. If true, bye bye Auba. But it's probably bs anyways.
