"We showed that we are in a good way. We have a great team and I think for any opponent it’s so difficult to play against the movement of the players. 

"The job is not done but we’re in a good way, on a good track, so we’re going [to Zorya] with confidence.

“I think it’s important for a club like Manchester United that there’s challenge for places in the team.

“I think that makes every player better and that makes the team better in the end. That’s what a team like this needs. We are a great team together.

“Wayne is a great player and a great personality as well,” he said. “For me I can only say that it’s a pleasure to play with him every game."

Christine, you dey read am so? This criticism is not from me alone this time. When I'm against United giving this lazy ostrich a new contract based on what's he's played so far, I was being fair.
this isn't the only fans' corner I read but the vibe here is very different. there is way more negativity here than I read everywhere else put together. it is difficult to tell the fans from haters here.

Zlatan Ibrahimović was directly involved in three out of four goals this morning, you guys are impossible. there is a difference between someone putting up a poor showing over a few games and another putting a poor showing over months. like I said, the young forwards in the team are not ready to lead any trophy charge, Marcus Rashford in particular, and my opinion may change but it hasn't changed. football is not just about galloping everywhere like an antelope and this is why players like Micheal Carrick, Daley Blind or Paul Scholes will be taken for granted till they are not on the field.

let me say that growing up I never liked football because of the contacts and physicality but I liked/participated in volley ball and track events. I really didn't mind watching people chase the ball all over a marked space though but under some guidance I actually *learned* to watch.

here every pin matters and is searched for with magnifying lenses like a player makes a pass for a goal and people prefer to stress he didn't mean the pass or a cross deflected in by a player but the luck is stressed to breaking point. why should such details concern anybody, are you not entertained?

The embolden is main headache in that midfield. Mourinho has tried Pogba with the trio of Herrera, Carrick and Fellani, but in all occasions, no matter how poor Pogba might have been in that match, he never gets benched or substituted. It's coz of finding a way to provide a strong defensive backbone to shield our defense in top matches that Mourinho pushes Pogba into the number 10 role to accommodate a combo of Herrera and Fellani and it end up costing us coz Pogba is practically useless in that position. If only Pogba could play like Mata in that role, Carrick and Herrera would have been the best DM combo to win matches for us.

What I meant is that Pogba doesn't get benched even when he's poor in matches. So all the midfield pairings Mourinho has done has Pogba in it, and sometimes against top he moves Pogba into the number 10 role so he could play 2 more defensively astute DMs to limit the attacks of our opponent.

@ embolden, Rashford looked clueless in that CF role against Assanal coz he hasn't played there since Zlatan came (including Pogba not helping him out on attack). He's basically a winger now. RASH led our attack splendidly last season when he came into the scene and he can still do it but not not on the wing. He needs his confidence back, he needs the trust in him back. But with 4-2-3-1 formation and Mourinho looking forward to extend Zlatan's contract, he can kiss that dream good bye. Before you realize what's happening he'll become another Martial, bought as a striker but converted to a winger. Ain't it bad enough that should Zlatan be injured or on suspension, our only best bet in the CF role is now a winger?


As for being entertained, what will entertainment without goals and victories earn you? Assanal is the most entertaining team in EPL for years now but without any major trophy in over a decade. Barca entertains you and still win matches, that's how United should be.

I've once said it, and still will keep saying it; that United Fans are OLIVER TWIST!

We are more concerned with Pogba's price Tag than his age and experience. We want him to be a combination of both Messi and Ronaldo because he's the most expensive Player at the moment.

Alas! Pogba is basically secured for the Future! We can't lose him twice, and those saying he's a burden to our Midfield, should pls judge him fairly! You want Cavalho, Verrati, Buggati?! Lol!

What else are we expecting from him?! To start banging Goals week in week out?! Let's be fair for once pls.

When are we gonna appreciate the Lads, enjoy their play and get entertained?! Trophies will definitely come - slowly but surely United will get back to the TOP!

I take it that I'm among those you're referring to by your post. I didn't say Pogba is a burden to our midfield. What I meant is that the exact place and whom to pair him with has been a headache for Mourinho. Since he can't bench him even when he's been below par, Mourinho has been forced to tweak his line-ups to play to Pogba's strength.

Mourinho can't bench Pogba for nothing...... not because of his price tag or or anything. Pogba has to play, unless the manager think otherwise. there definitely is something Mourinho sees in Pogba that we the fans are not seeing and hence why it seem he is trying to fit in Pogba into the team at all cost. maybe Mourinho didn't do his homework properly as regards where to play him, before buying Pogba. that doesn't take away anything. Pogba is here to stay. he is for the future. he will definitely come good. you guys should be patient and lay off the guy. Hian!

Pogba is a good player, he just needs to stop showing off and concentrate on making things easy for himself. He doesn't need to dribble like Robben or score like Lampard. As long as he's defensively disciplined and helps out in attack especially when we're pressing, he'll be fine. People just pick on him coz of his price tag and he has to live with it. You don't come that costly and display average performances.

I think the emboldened should be directed to Pogba & his agent......

It isn't the fault of Nairaland Posters that our expensive Dabadihno (one of the highest paid players in the world) is a "Paparazzi loving", "Limelight crazed" juvenile who showboats unnecessarily....akin to an unserious teenager representing his School at Shell cup with the primary aim of impressing his babe & her friends that come to cheer him in the stands....

P.S : I don't think world record transfer fees & hefty wages are paid for "future purposes"- the earlier he shelves Fùcktever ballon d'or aspirations that seem to be messing with his head & starts concentrating on being a more useful team player, the better for him, his manager & the club as a whole!

Maybe I didn't word it well. I mean benched when he's been shitty for us like the Rooney, Mhiki and Martial have all been benched based on thier forms. Also when he's been poor in matches he never gets substituted. So benching and substituting ain't the same thing.

And what do you mean by if I get beef with Pogba? Which part of my post implied that? Or you pull up conclusions from thin air?

Maybe you're in hibernation when we've been debating Pogba's best position all season coz he hadn't been spectacular in any. From Pogba, to his agent, to fans, we've all been debating on which position will bring out the best in him, so where's the beef you're talking about? Or when a valid truth is said about your favorite play you get agitated?
