Okay. But we all know that this guy has been saying the same thing since he became the manager (interim), we will return to the glory days, I want to emulate SAF bla bla bla, we have a style of play, we need to continue to run and work hard on the pitch, radaradaradara fffkkkgggghhhh.......saying the same thing over and over again. Are you not tired?

Fine, na press conference, but some pressers are for just 5-10 minutes while some last 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer reiterating those good old days comments simply means he his very confident we are going to arrive at the top again. It better becomes good Afro-pop music to your ears, because I am pretty sure you have not heard the last of that. It takes a lot of confidence and self belief to backup such repetitive claim with the group of players he has at his disposal now.

With full pre-season, and what I saw between Dec-March last year, I am very sure Ole will get it right. Sheath your sword, lets judge Ole by December.

Words from Manager in Press conference always have huge impact in players and fans. Mourinho's negative presser last season right from pee season derailed our campaign.

Players lost the trust and confidence in their Manager with too many pessimistic comments. You don't expect Ole to come out and start classifying our players including the dead wood on Grade 1 eggs with or without omelette.

He saying all the right things now that the season has not even started ,we will have to wait and see the impact on players when we kick off.

Mourinho talked and said a lot of negative things, They complained, OGS dey talk him own, all positive and nice things, dem still dey complain

God forbid
The thing tire me bro. They complain of everything he says in press conference. To me, he has the best presser of all the managers we have appointed post Fergie Era. People underestimate the power of positivity and motivation in sports.


The same people were praising Poch last year for being positive in his press conference even though he did not sign a single player unlike Mourinho that kept whining and hanging the management and players dry in the open. But Poch was not a Yes Man to Daniel Levy. Ole, is a Yes man to Woodward for doing same.

Ole is here to do a job the best way he can, so we have to support him, he must not sound like Klopp or Pep in press conference for him to succeed here as a Manager.

I know it is still pre-season, but I knew Wan Bissaka was a solid right back, that is why i wanted him at all cost ahead of Meunier, Max aarons,Dumfries etc. Our 2 signings has been excellent so far.

I know this is not a popular opinion here, we have to sign Harry Maguire or Koulibaly at all cost, forget any other alternate names the media has been mentioning. We need a leader at the heart of that defense, and a good passer of the ball from the back, since we are going to be playing high press. Smalling cannot make a simple forward pass to save his life. I know we are going to get Harry Maguire, and I will be delighted if we do,he ticks all boxes for me.

Keeping a 29 year old who is going to be 30 by August (Ander Herrera) on a £300k a week to be a squad player doesn't make economical sense. Letting him go was a good decision.

Footballing wise, apart from the occasional man marking of Hazard and co, he lacks tactical discipline, just running around like a headless chicken, sideways and backward passing. How is he any different from Tom Cleverly? Please we can do better than that, lets overhaul this midfield that keeps finishing 6th consistently.

It waasnt a snide remark, and it wasnt a personal attack on you.

But that statement was pure nomsense - it does not make sense at all.

Would you care to explain how David De Gea and all the members of our playing staffs are irreplaceable considering the form they shown last season. How is my opinion in anyway nonsensical?

If you follow the conversation, I was of the opinion we keep De Gea and let go off Pogba and Lukaku until a fellow United fan told me that Pogba is irreplaceable and why should we keep De Gea and let go off Pogba. I said no one is irreplaceable including De Gea,that he has not come out publicly to start agitating for a move like Pogba and Co.

We will bring in 2 or 3 more players before the transfer window shut, I am 100% convinced of that.

Jetting to Australia for pre-season tour doesn't stop recruitment process, the transfer window deadline is still a month away, there will be INs and Outs before deadline date.

The earlier we see Paul Pogba for who he truly his (Virus) the better. He downed tools for the first part of last season during the ill fated Mourinho's reign, only to start padding up stats in the latter part of the season against lower and midtable teams just to get the attention of Real Madrid and Juventus.

He his highly unprofessional, self centered, toxic and should be shown the exit door as soon as possible. Bruno Fernandes will replace him easily.

The same Pogba we paid astronomical fees for (transfer & wages) to fill in a void in Central midfield but couldn't cement his position there?

The same Pogba we had to "free" by aquiring 2 extra midfielders at a cost of 100m....yet still blows hot & cold with inconsistent performances?


we need talented, serious minded players who are willing to give 150% at all times.

At this juncture, any crybaby who wants to leave should be kicked out asap



Thanks Boss for this. You would think the Paul Pogba they are talking about is the best Midfielder that has ever graced the Premier league,no he his not, he has been average . A player we still don't know his best position after 3 seasons. Paul Scholes played with different kinds of Midfielders(both average and quality) and he was still able to dominate play.

With the almighty Pogba in this team we have finished 6th twice in a space of 3 seasons, we can't do worse than that if he leaves. The chelsea central midfielders that won the league 2016/2017 season consists of Kante, Matic, Mikel and Fabregas , there is no world beaters or overhyped primadonna on that list. These are group of players that worked together collectively to achieve their goals after finishing 10th the previous season.

If Pogba leaves, he will be replaced and we will do just fine.

Suarez really wanted to leave Liverpool at a time but Liverpool still held on to him for one more season. We can't discard every player that says they want to leave. Or else we'll become worse that AC Milan. We are at a position in which every quality player we have would be thinking of a future elsewhere.

And your last sentence is so sweet to say in theory. Pogba looks like an 'individualistic' player because he's the only quality player in that midfield. So selling him and replacing him with players we've not seen play because of the so called ' fight for the shirt ' you guys keep yapping about will be unwise. If we sign Bruno Fernandes and he ends up being a great signing, watch him form a great partnership with Pogba..The end result of what you hope is, we sell Pogba then Bruno Fernandes comes in with some rookie signings. Then we transfer the curses from Pogba to Bruno.



The difference is Suarez had a fantastic season,you could understand if Liverpool wanted one more season from him. Just the same way Fergie begged Cristiano Ronaldo to give us one more season after having a fantastic season before his record move to Real Madrid. Unlike Paul Pogba that had a below par season and plunged us to 6th place finish. If he has any shame, he shouldn't be talking about leaving this upcoming season, after his abysmal season. He should roll up his sleeves and fight to take us to an healthy position in the league before hustling for a move elsewhere.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by footiemaniac: 11:34pm On Jul 03, 2019
You guys are making it sound as if Pogba had a fantastic season and deserve to move elsewhere, No he did not. He had an average season for a world record Midfielder. He was just a flat track bully last season,how many games can you confidently say Paul Pogba dominated the Midfield play in the premier league last season.

Scoring 13 Premier league goals with 7 Penalties against(Brighton,Everton,Burnley,Fulham) and 6 Open play goals against (Fulham , Bournemouth and Everton) all of a sudden he his no longer replaceable. All members of the playing staff last season could be replaced because they were all awful last season. Forget stats padding, If you take away Pogba awoof penalties and goals against inferior teams in the premier league last season, he didn't do anything dominating to warrant all this. He was swallowed in the midfield against the top 8 teams last season, jogging and doing escort services. He had to collect red card against PSG in the first leg for us to qualify to the next round.

Paul Pogba can leave if he wants to, he his not bigger than Manchester united, we will do just fine without him. If Darren Fletcher could replace Roy Keane, who is Paul Pogba?

Wtf were they thinking? shocked

I believe there is more to that transfer - the money probably includes the player's wages.

It has been a crazy transfer window Bro. Imagine, Lo Celso of Real Betis has a release clause of £88M, he his no where near that amount quoted.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by footiemaniac: 9:38pm On Jul 03, 2019
Atletico Madrid has just spent £114M pounds to acquire the services of a 19 year old, Joao Felix with just 1 Senior National team appearance, since he his not British nobody we complain that he his over-hyped or overpriced. If it were to be Wan Bissaka, Sancho , Maguire people will be screaming maga united and useless English players.

In today's crazy transfer market, if Ayoze Perez is worth £30M , Danny Ings worth £20M, Zaha £80M then Harry Maguire should be worth £80M quoted no doubt. I will say Ed Woodward should sign him up immediately, we will not remember this price tag few seasons from now. No player his worth the price tag being quoted in this transfer window anyway.

So we should sell Pogba and Lukaku, but keep De Gea? Hahahaha, eventuarry, these people want to finish Man Utd!

Pogba is irreplaceable, Lukaku's is debatable, while your Dea Gea is very very replaceable!


Like I said earlier, NO PLAYER is irreplaceable including David De Gea. But, Pogba and Lukaku wants out, should we start crawling on our knees to beg them to stay. Why on earth should we build our team around someone that his heart and body is already elsewhere. We no longer need a team of individuals, we want a set of players that can play together as a team and fight for each other on and off the pitch.

Romelu Lukaku is right to seek a move if a player like Marcus Rashford is preferred to him as starting center forward. He is better than Rashford and has shown that on the pitch they're are not in the same bracket. OGS believes in the Englishman and that's his choice but you don't expect an ambitious player to sit there and fold his arms for someone who'd probably never get as much career goals as him. He showed he was ready to fight for his shirt when moved to the wings and continued grabbing the important goals last season, what else do you want from him?

Paul Pogba carries the team and all he gets is slacks from the British press while the MUFC fans who can't interpret what their eyes see on the pitch join the bandwagon with rival fans to send expletives his way, instead of towards the owners to improve player quality and support his efforts. You don't think he wants trophies as well? We are becoming a bad joke and rival fans are all too happy to see us push him out for your info.

Don't get me wrong, I am a fan of Big Rom. Romelu Lukaku did not play anywhere near his capability last season to demand regular start, I guess you are looking at the name at the back of the shirt and what he has done in the past. He was completely unfit and over muscular, you could see him gasping for air after 30 mins. Mourinho had already started benching him before Ole came on board. Ofcourse every manager has his choice, it is left for you to work hard and force the Manager's hand.

I can remember Pep benching Aguero for Jesus irrespective of the name at the back of the Jersey, Kun did not turn around to start agitating for a move, instead he worked hard to remain fit and fire in those goals to propel Manchester city to back to back trophies.

In a club like Manchester united, there must be competition for places, if Lukaku feels he cannot compete, he his free to move on instead of staying and sulking around in the dressing room. Same thing happened when Poch arrived Spurs, Adebayor felt he was too big a name to fight for a place with young Harry Kane, but we can see the outcome now. Saying Rashford cannot improve to be a better striker than Lukaku is not completely true.

How comfortable of you

Both players(Pogba and Lukaku) have publicly expressed their desire to seek for a new adventure and don't want to be here next season. Don't you think keeping such players will affect the harmony in the dressing room?

David De Gea, has not showed any signs of that, which means he still has the right attitude to contribute positively to this club, and there is already a talk of contract renegotiation.

We should keep De Gea, he still has the right attitude even though he contributed to our fall from grace towards the tail end of last season. I believe David De Gea can still turn things around.

But we should let go of Pogba and Lukaku their heart are no longer with the club, we don't want any toxic players in that dressing room. Let us replace them with energetic players that can actually run, press and put in a shift for the badge. Bruno Fernandes looks like a done deal to me.

With £50 or 60M we can get Ruben Dias Or Diop.. Fvck Leicester City. Though Maguire is a good CB but he's fvcking overrhype

Ruben Dias and Diop are not on the same level with Harry Maguire,he his street ahead of them. I will rather continue with Jones and Smalling than signing any of those 2 for £50M or £60M. We need upgrade not players on Rojo, Jones, Smalling level. You must be that good for Mourinho, Pep and Ole to be chasing you(Harry Maguire), these are top professional coaches. I am sure this deal will be closed soon.

I still think Harry Maguire irrespective of his Nationality is an upgrade on what we already have in that defense. It is either Harry Maguire or Koulibaly for me.

Like Wan-Bissaka, I don't care about the amount, they should get this over the line. Can he improve our defense? Yes. That is what we have been clamoring for. We need to close the gap between us and the top 2 teams . Kyle walker with a year left on his contract was bought for 50M years ago by Manchester city. They better splash this cash and get in all the top targets.

If we can get Harry Maguire to loose some body fat and be fitter, he won't be a bad signing. He his actually good on the ball, calm head, reads the game properly and not your last ditch tackle defender like Bailey or Jones. He is also very good from setplay, I can't remember the last time our defenders score directly from set play, he will contribute to goals in that aspect.

Well, he won't be considered by many here because he his English,and some fans are already tired of British players and signings.
