Fred that was bought for 60M is a 3rd choice? You really need blood tonic
Fred is £52M bros and he is not starting for United fact. City paid 60m for mahrez and he is guaranteed a sit on the bench

Mahrez chose not to go to City last season? Or the club refused to over pay for him? Same with Sanchez and u don’t see Pep losing it.
£30m - Bailly
FREE - Zlatan
£27m - Mkhitaryan
£89m - Pogba
£30m - Lindelof
£35m - Matic
£75m - Lukaku
Sanchez replaced Mkhitaryan -
If you add Fred, Dalot, Grant that's £286m.. ... The amount Jose has spend are peanuts compared to his rivals and you expect him not to mourn.

Let Jose sell if he wants to buy. He should encourage a clear out and he will get replacement. Pep cleared out the ones he didn't want. Jose should do so and not give them contracts.

Before Klopp got this backing, he has been going about his job without complaining and plenty passion, encouraging those that were not doing well. Everyone could see the pattern he was building. Same thing with Pep. Everyone could see the signs. What is Mourinho building at United?
You either back the man to the end or you get rid
of him and his pragmatic football, that's simple
logic. If you don't give him the chance to win, why
is he even here.
Give him his 29 year old winger, a LB,a supporting striker and a CB. Then he can no longer shift the blame or mourn.

Bros dem don tell you say Man Utd no the pluck money from tree you still d talk about the board backing Mourinho.

From Ibrahimovic, to Mhikitaryan, Pogba, Dalot, Sanchez, Bailey, Lindelof, Fred, Lukaku and even Matic. Bros tell me has the club not backed Mourinho enough?

I love Mourinho but he is not above criticism. Just look at the way he was rubbishing those youngsters. That was totally wrong of Mourinho.
Does city and Liverpool pluck money from a tree? Ibra and Sanchez where free transfers, miki is no longer at the club , If Woodward doesn't like Mourinho, he is free to ask for him to be fired. Until so, he must support him financially. End of story

Man Utd has upgraded by getting a Mourinho quality Central midfielder and a backup Right back both identified by Mourinho

If these signings are not an upgrade on the team then why where they recommended and bought? Is it just to model jersey.

Mourinho asked for 5 players which included Fred and Dalot and he has gotten two. If it was Willian/Sandro/Maguire they got him and not Fred, this is how you will be telling us that its Fred that will improve the team not Willian/Sandro
Wrong Fred is not mourinho first choice Savic was and dalot doesn't improve the team in any way so you point of those 2 upgrading the team is dead on arrival. Fred will be third choice behind the bench boys Herrera and Fellaini.

Pep wanted Bonnuci they couldnt get for him, He wanted Alexis they couldnt get for him, He wanted Jorginho they couldnt get for him

Maybe Pep should call a press conference to lament how he hasnt been supported.
bullocks.... all those players made their decisions not to go city not because the board where not capable of signing them.

The Questions are; is Fred on Mou List or not?! Did you know the Price of Savic presently?! How are we so sure he's better than Fred?! What has he achieved individual?! Are you certain he's the missing Puzzle and gonna be an Instant Hit for the Team?!

I'm convinced Mou sanctioned the Deal of Diogo. Or you think Woodward made the Deal without Mou's awareness?!
Maybe he did or may be not but no how Mourinho will add a 19 years old who isn't a starter for Porto to his list of transfer that will make United title contenders. Savic was first Choice that should tell you how Mourinho rates him. If not for the price placed on him by lazio He would have been a united player and not Fred. So out of his 5 choice he has gotten none and you wants him not to complain.

Liverpool just started spending on some good players, even at that klopp still play appealing football making ucl final after loosing coutinho.

Stop cracking me up pls........ who asked for Fred and Diogo?! Shey na me?!

Out of Five, he has got 2 already, and possibly gonna get one more at least! So why is he crying before the Season even begins for God's sake?!

No one is stopping him from resigning pls, Zidane is clubless at the moment, we can easily poach him.
No he wanted Savic from lazio not even Fred. Fred was just an alternative signed by the board. Do you honestly belive Mourinho added a 19yrs old boy to his list lol.

Oh I see. You're so sure that if Mourinho gets those players he will win the PL this season? LOL.
pep was Backed by his board and he did. Klopp has been backed by his board massively this season. Is it bad for Mourinho to want that kind of backing?

He can resign if he wants. Not many people will miss him. Who has he not complained about? Is it Woodward's fault that Lingard, Jones, Fellaini, Pogba, Lukaku, Martial, Rashford, Young, DeGea are not available abi is that not his team? You think the board is senseless and will just be dropping money for someone like Mourinho? He should use the ones he has gotten to do something
I'm assuming he wanted:
1) Full back 2) Centre Back 3) Central Midfielder 4) Right winger 5) Back up
striker

To me if the board is keeping the same manager, they should trust the manager
decisions and try to buy those players (even if they are "old"wink. No one cares if
they are old and you win the PL this year anyway.

Mou has lost it 5 years ago but due to his sharp mouth people still think he is special. His formation is outdated due to the type of players around this days. He should go coach national team, club football is not for him anymore or go to lower club in Italy. I warned you guys about him though, that his tactics will affect martial and rashford. Those two guys were already in Mbappe’s level before mourhino hit them.
The klopp,poch and sarri that are not outdated how many trophies have they won.

Shey dem force Mourinho to buy them? No be who he like he point to buy?

Mourinho say he want Dalot and Fred, they got him exactly what he wanted you are now complaining that Dalot has 10 games and Fred is unproven

On 80M investment you don dey give excuses already
What is wrong with you self. I asked how has man United upgraded from last season you jumped and said Fred and dalot. I gave you reasons why they are not you are saying am making excuses Shuuu. Mourinho also asked for willian, alderweireld,sandro, An attacking midfielder to replace Mata, etc where are those signing that will upgrade the squad massively not moi moi.

Then why is Mourinho crying and destroying the moral of the youngsters in his team? Should they have declined joining his team instead?

Was there an upgrade in our squad last season? Is that why the squad went trophyless? Since Mourinho joined United, he has spent over 100m in defense, almost 200m in midfield and another 100+m in attack. What has he done with that? Made top while playing the worst football. How is the top 4 he made different from the others that made top 4? Rashford and Martial can no longer play football.

If you were a stakeholder, won't you be surprised at the kind of transfers Mourinho wants to make? Buying 29 years old that has just 2-3 years and that's it. Which big club is making that kind of signing now when the players name is not Ronaldo or Messi?
This isn’t his squad that will play this year.
So what’s the point? They’re just going through the motions. Yea it’s good for the
young guys, but that won’t help us much this year.. He said dropped a list of 5 names months ago and just one has arrived. Now you know how frustrated he his. he signed Pogba 24,lukaku25, Bailey 26,lindelof25, so it's a mixture of both young and old With experience. How old was Van Persie when Fergie signed him?Woodward has bottled it big time.
Either back your manager or sack him.

Yes. United signed a central midfielder Fred and a young right back
a RB who has started less than 10 senior matches for Porto. a midfielder who shined in the Ukrainian league but is unproven in top leagues. Nor be every time you go talk lie. Be objective

I think klopp hasn't beaten Mourinho United in any competitive fixtures. Mourinho has klopp by his balls. It's obvious the board hasn't backed him enough in the transfer window. Can you honestly say that United has upgraded from last season.

I'm not saying he's another Leo, i'm saying he's a decent player and he has years ahead of him to get better. Barkley at just 15M was a good buy


and what has Golovin done to deserve the hype, i'm curious to know. Barkley that has played in the EPL since 2013, you would rather pick a CSKA player ahead of him, a 22yr old at that....issokay
He is definitely better. Shades of Lampard with a bullet of a shot and dribbling ability.

What Chelsea miss is a player like lampard....if the strikers are having a bad day he pops up & provide goals.

Baba Alabi can you bring Barkley's stats for Everton those days he was "on fire" let's see.

Aside the shots, let's see what Barkley brings to the table
Barkley guarantees you 10goals in a season. That's what he brings to the table.

Muller has 10 world cup goals, 42 CL goals

A player can rise and decline anytime as long as he has achievements to point to.

What age did Ronaldo Lima decline, what age did Ronaldinho decline, what age did Kaka decline these are things you should research before coming online to compare teenage Michael Owen to teenage Mbappe or teenage Messi
10 World Cup goals and 42 champions league goals are impressive but doesn't change the fact that he is a limited player and has been on decline since 2015.he hasn't had a big game performance for bayern since 2015 and has failed to score or
assist in the last 2 major tournaments with Germany.
. Still living on 2010 World Cup hype. 0 goals in 2016 euros and 0 goals in 2018 World Cup. Not seen decline this steep since the Brazilian Adriano.

Meanwhile Dayo has been shouting here that Ozil is the one that wrote 'my President'

So all he did was take a picture.

Don't mind Hoeness.

He won't talk about how useless Muller was at the world cup. instead he's complaining Ozil of all people does not tackle.
Hoeness ’ response to Mesut Ozil’s international retirement is nothing short of
horrifying. What was the need?

People that expect Sarri to fail are those who watch football with their brains off, even those with their eyes closed understand better.

Sarri is going to pick the best possible XI and best possible style and approach based on the players he has available.

Comparing Sarri based on titles with managers that have managed title winning teams is the level of backward thinking that makes a normal human being have an abnormal thinking that Kane is better than Tripper because of goals scored.

Did Napoli win more games under Sarri than in their past seasons? Yes.
Did they spend more under Sarri? No.
Apart from Juve, did any other team win anything in Italy? No.
Apart from Allergi, has any other manager being the best in Italy in the past 3 seasons? Yes, Sarri.

Pep that won 2 UCL when last did he manager in a UCL final?
Before Zidane won 3UCL what had he won before?

If any must be a pessimist then STFU and keep it to yourself. It's not everything that must jump out of your head.
Bros wake up. just because sarri plays attacking football doesn't guarantee anything in the premier Leavgue. He may succeed or flop woefully. Havent klopp and poch taught you anything.

People that think Hazard will sign for Madrid need to understand

1. Chelsea have to accept the 190m euros Madrid has offerred for him, if not more.

2. Chelsea have to get a replacement, which currently i don't think they are looking for.

3. Chelsea may still ask for Asensio in the deal, Madrid and their new coach won't want to part with him.

4. Hazard prefers to have fun than carry so much responsibility, because he is not egocentric but still I dont see Hazard giving up his number 10 shirt. Sarri and Chelsea offer him everything he desires, fun, responsibility, a legendary status, and captaincy (ask yourselves why Greizmann is still in ATM)

5. Chelsea are rumoured to offer Hazard a massive new deal, if he doesnt accept then they sell. Hazard is waiting for 1st week of August, to meet the manager and see the quality of players on ground.

6. Hazard hasn't handed in a transfer request and also won't force his way out of Chelsea.
Bros keep your Hazard. We already have a dribble merchant in Isco.
