Lol!
Rooney was good though but lacked the end product.
The England team needs a creative playmker in the mould of Eriksen/Payet to complete the team. Looks like Alli is more of a box-box CM than a playmaker.
BTW, The likes of Sterling, Lallana were so useless. Kane wasn't better off although his display could be understandable due to the lack of creativity however he looked sluggish and laboured. Maybe it's time to use one of Rashford/Vardy to provide the needed pace upfront.

The English attack is too young/inexperienced. Either Rooney or Wilshere should be pushed forward. There were some simple things that were needed to be done from the right and middle of their attack, they were done very wrongly.

Elampiro, my condolences.

Na wao!

Mentioning Pogba and 65mil in the same sentence is actually a football blasphemy. That dude isn't worth close to that. How much did we sell Ronaldo, a world best player at his prime? I am not a Pogba fan, that's why I don't want to comment on his issue, because I may sound bias. But for me, dude isn't worth 64mil.

My sceptism about Jose is gradually coming to pass. We will eventually overpay for pogba, give zlatan a retirement package, get matic to pioneer our bus parking.

Let's keep watching

You are right. Pogba was poor today. He was easily the worst player in the French midfield. Kante played very well just as we saw him did for Leicester all season. But Payet ran the show today. What a show for Payet.

Paddy McNair has revealed Jose Mourinho contacted him to wish him luck ahead of Northern Ireland’s Euro 2016 campaign.

The defender has since totalled 21 appearances for his club, and good form has seen him named in Northern Ireland’s squad for the European Championships.

The 21-year-old has won nine caps for his country, and he has revealed Mourinho has wished him luck ahead of the tournament.

McNair said: "He sent me a text message wishing me good luck for the tournament - that was nice of him.

"I'm sure he'll be watching and I'll be trying my best and hopefully he likes what he sees."

Ok.

#BREAKING David de Gea

"It is all a lie. I'm the first to be surprised by the news. I want to deny it. It's a lie and it's false. Nothing more. I feel even stronger about staying with the national team... it is all false and it is in my lawyers hands. I have not planned to leave the national team.

"I have no idea where this story is coming from or how it got in the press. I'm just calm and looking forward. I dont know how I could be mixed up in this.

"I am a quiet guy and it is difficult that something affects me. And when something is false more reasons not to be affected. It gives me strength. I know what I have done with my life. It is all false."

PietroRico:
De gea sent home from euro?



False alarm hopefully

Mehn!!!

Just when his time had arrived to keep Casilas on the bench. And who knows what happen next. Hope it won't expand to Martial eventually? Just we when want it take a giant stride forward.

- Going to try to summarize in English. There's an ongoing case against a porn producer who was trafficking and abusing women in Spain.

- They're calling it "The Torbe Case". A protected witness testified that she was taken to a hotel where she was abused by 2 footballers.

- Torbe forced her into the encounter, claiming she was going to be paid very well. Muniain and an unnamed footballer sexually assaulted her.

- De Gea was apparently the one who called Torbe for her services. They kept in touch afterwards because they were trying to keep her quiet.

- She says that later on, De Gea also tried to arrange another encounter with 5 Man Utd players(elampiro you know Rooney go involve for this kain thing) but there's no proof this ever happened.

- However, De Gea is mentioned in another Torbe related incident where a minor claims that she was raped by Torbe and That this was recorded so that it could be sent to De Gea and other Athletic players.

Lol, the one that involved Anthony Martial, it was our young players that were involved. All of them chasing one woman. Lingard, Januzaj, Powel, Varela and Martial who had an ADULTERY WITH HER. lol, I don't wanna use extra-marital affair. That is polishing it.

SailorXY:
That's insane cash for one midfielder. Why not add some more & target Messi?

Perhaps Mouthinho want to tackle the issue of height & being bullied in the air by the likes of West Ham.

Smalling, Fellaini, Bailly, Jones, Zlatan, Pogba these are above average height in the sport.

You are right. But Phil Jones is not really on the tall side, just above average. That is if you meant Phil and not Stones.

Phil Jones is not tall, he only has jumping power/ability. Phil is 5 ft11, Eric Bailly is 6 ft 1/2 these two guys are even shorter than Vidic and Ferdinand. But they both have jumping power. Eric, an Africa player, will surely have that ability.

Eric Bailly and John Terry are same height. Cahill is far taller than Terry, but I believe Terry is better in dealing with aerial threats.

We had two many starting players who offered nothing in aerial contests. Blind, Rojo, Valencia, Mata, Herrera, Lingard and Carrick. Carrick is very tall but lack ability to battle aerial balls. He has no jumping power.

According to AS in Spain, Jose Mourinho has offered €100m for Paul Pogba, but Juventus want €120m.

..............

Mourinho's obsession with physical players.

While at the Spanish Euro16 training camp David de Gea this evening has spoken to Spanish radio station Cadena Ser.

Again he was asked about his future and a move to Madrid and he admits United needed a coach like Mourinho.

"I know nothing about Madrid wanting to sign me. I'm calm. I've 3 more years at United.

"I've played big games and won titles at United. I'm a more mature player now and prepared for anything.

"I feel like the same kid as I always have. The same calm and the same will to compete and win titles. I am very grateful to United and I'm very happy there.

"We hope that the arrival of Mourinho, with its winning character, will return to United at the highest level. I have not spoken with Mourinho nor I have asked colleagues, I believe that we already know it all.

"We've missed a manager like Mourinho, has personality and winning character; we needed him, his signing is a success. We hope that Mourinho, with his will to win, will take United back to the top."

Zlatan to United is a done deal, according to Skysports he wants to get a loyalty bonus of about 4M euros after his contract with PSG has offically ended by 1 July 2016. So we should announce his signing by the first week of July.

Concerning the right winger position what do you think about giving Januzaj and Lingard extensive playing time instead of paying 30M+ on talented players or ninjas that are not better than Nani. I would have preferred Dembele that was snapped up early by Dortmund.

Lingard is an average player. Januzaj needs plenty games for one to assess his maturity.

Spy360:
For Nani?

Lmao!

My heart rejoices too.

I like his kind of football. It's so unique. Wish we had him last season on the right side and Martial on the left.

Sir Alex Ferguson reduced Paul Pogba to tears during the French midfielder’s time at Manchester United, according to the player’s mother.

Having joined United’s academy from Le Havre in controversial circumstances in 2009, Pogba failed to break into the first-team squad at Old Trafford and consequently decided to move on.

His mother Yeo Moriba has now revealed details of the final stages of his Premier League career – ranging from Ferguson’s last ditch attempts to keep Pogba at Old Trafford to the harsh treatment that followed.

Moriba told Associated French Press: “I said, ‘What? Ferguson coming to my house! He came alone’

"We had got together with his brothers and we decided: he won’t re-sign.

“Ferguson punished him, he didn’t play him, Paul was alone. He even cried in Ferguson’s office over the way he was treated.

"Nowadays you'd have to say I know a bit about football, you can't fool me, I'm asked for advice, that's all. All three (sons) respect me, and they listen to me."

Paul Pogba has admitted that he doesn’t regret leaving Manchester United after falling out with former manager Sir Alex Ferguson, with the club now facing the prospect of paying up to €100m [£78.1m] to sign a player who left them for just £800,000.

United though are in the market for Pogba and Jose Mourinho believes he can build his new team around a character like the Frenchman, who has displayed huge levels of confidence as well as the talent to match it. That confidence was seen as early as when he was 19 years old, when Pogba told Ferguson that he would be leaving United despite the legendary manager wanting to keep hold of the teenager.

“He's a coach I respect a lot, but he's a human. I'm someone who says what he thinks. Whether it's Ferguson or Obama, I'll tell him.

“Ferguson came to my place. We talked. It did make me think. He wanted to keep me, but I'd made my decision to leave.

"With them you train to the end, up to perfection, because Paul Scholes – despite his age – was still there at the end of practice, hitting long passes, shots. He didn't miss one. When you're there, you have to adapt fast. I like that – always challenges.

Jose Mourinho has revealed that he cannot wait to start working with Michael Carrick after the veteran midfielder signed a one-year contract extension with the Red Devils on Thursday afternoon.

And newly appointed United boss Mourinho admits that he was thrilled to be able to tie Carrick down to a new contract at Old Trafford.

Speaking to United’s website, Mourinho said: “Michael is a very intelligent midfielder and a great reader of the game.

“I am pleased that he will be extending his contract. His form this year shows his ability and his enjoyment of the game are as strong as ever.

“Michael has a wealth of experience from his many years at the club and that knowledge will be invaluable to me. I am really looking forward to working with him.”

Some Turkish paper report Jose is interested in bringing back Nani.

My heart rejoices.....


Lovely!

parrotibaba:
Guys what do you think Jose will do with blind since he's no longer going to be played in the centreback role. He's only options are central midfield and left back.

Blind will be 5th choice CB under any coach at United other than Gaal.

He could be a back up LB to Shaw. But Mensah and Jackson are in better shape for that role. Juventus were interested in Jackson towards the end of last season, then Gaal had to quickly give some games again to avoid the Pogba fiasco. And he did well in the last league match of the season, with good work with Martial while delivery those dangerous crossing.

Midfield is a no no for Blind. Midfield could work for him in some other leagues like Netherlands, but not in the EPL. Too small, slow and one footed. At least Carrick is tall and two footed.

tess1:
You are right. It was in April 2015. Villarreal had the edge over them last season.

So the gif is even two seasons ago, when he was 21?

parrotibaba:
heard this on Sky sports news. I really don't think we should waste time chasing a ninja that won't come because of lack of UCL footie.

Even if he wants to come, no need to go for him.

Reports that we are in lead for Pogba, £78m. City is reported to have withdrawn.

This money is too much o.

olabode89:
I am really disappointed in how guys have beenot yarning okpas about Bailly. They have not seen him play for United yet and they have started castigating him. Same otondos will start praising him when he starts bossing the EPL with Smalling.

Mourinho recognizes the fact that we don't need Blind in that our Central Defence.

sinizia:
I should have been specific, I meant more players generally not another defender.

We should not sell too many. We should bring more than we will let go.
