Don't blame him, it's too early to celebrate. The league is still far.
I know it's still far but come on, a smile today wouldn't have killed him. I really like him though.

Martial = Morata. .. one goal, one assist.

Morata Not in the level of Lukaku yet

Mhen I miss nani and Giggs when it comes to crossing
We definitely need a Perisic. .. he's not a Ronaldo nor Neymar but he will bring some consistent performances, something Martial and Rashford lack, probably cos they are still young

JM has the final say. He's the one in charge. He's seeing these Players on daily Basis, assessing their Abilities during Training Sessions, and knows their Limits in a competitive Match.

JM asked for four Signings - A CB, DM, Winger, and a Striker. He didn't ask for a RB nor a LB, if he's not contented with Players that play the Positions for the Team at the moment, he would have asked for Replacements.

Fitness, Dedication and Consistency are all we need from the United Players this coming Season, coz they are good enough to challenge in all Fronts.
Okay.... i'll accept your opinion if you do not accept mine. I hope and pray for the best this season. Hopefully i'll come back here to say 'Bro, you were really right'.

How did Monaco win Ligue 1?! How many Stars were at the Club last Season?! But Today majority of their Players become Stars.

My Point is; if we can get Stars to sign, then we should make them.
Bro I am not asking us to go buy stars... no!

I am only asking us to get quality players that are consistent to fill up those holes. It doesn't necessarily mean we going to spend big to get them.

Chill Bro!

The Season ain't gonna be boring..... and I can assure JM plans to play real attacking Footie this coming Season. It's evident in all the Matches played bar the Barcelona Match which is understandable.

So far - Mkhitaryan rarely played on the Wing, same as Mata, thus I think JM is willing to use the right Player for the right Position.

Also, JM is craving for a balance Team, clamoring for the Signings of two more Players, [or at worse one] a DM and a Winger. Hence, seems JM is satisfied with the RBs and LBs at his Disposal presently, the Reason he's not demanding new Players for the Positions.

We need to trust JM Dude - we need to rally round behind him, wholly accept his Style and Tactics this coming Season. He deserves it Bro!

Finally, the Epoch of Sir Alex is gone for good, this is the Era of JM Bro. Though we were used to Sir Alex Style, but I think it's time to lay off Sir Alex Ghost and face the Reality.
I do get you Bro and I have always been supporting MOU and will keep supporting him. No be say I dey wish us bad luck but the reality on ground is glaring for us all to see. Lots of below average players (in manutd standard ) and even those that are a little above average are not consistent......now tell me how this kind of team can win the League.

We only have Quantities not Qualities for the Position..... I guess?! I'm hoping Shaw would come good for the Team, also hope he's gonna have an injury-free Season. He's a classy LB, but being letdown by Injury.

A fit Shaw covering the LB would be fantastic for the Team, hence we've got a real Qualities among Quantities.
This issue has been out there for everyone to see. The Manchester United that we all miss and talk about is one where our LB and RB attacked endlessly, which gave us more bodies in attacking opponents.... Pep, as much as I no fancy the guy know wetin he dey do for this transfer period ... Walker and Mendy will attack more and ask questions in attack and that will unlock lots of defense.

Mou is my man but he's setting himself up for failure and a season where we will rely more on long balls. Our games might remain boring this season. If these issues are not looked into and rectified, Our defense will remain solid again this season BUT we will not score many goals or should I rather say enough goals. Lukaku might score a thousand goals but will not be enough for the team to compete for the league. Making top four will also be tough.

Left back?! I think the Position is fairly covered. United have Shaw, Rojo, Blind and even Darmian for the Position already.
My brother, hope you now see what I was trying to say the other time. One of the reasons we ended up as 6th on the log was cos of this very issue. We have got a million of those guys who are not good enough. All they do is to sit back and defend with nothing good enough to contribute towards the attack.

Football has evolved now and I can tell you that a team without solid LB/LWB and RB/RWB will struggle, especially in the EPL. And when I say solid, I do not mean 'sit back and defend' kind. It's time we start attacking with more players .....until that time, we go just dey play boring, predictable and slow kinds of game

If we get perisic, fabinho, matic, morata, to join Lindelof...
Not bad but I think we need a left full back as well. I do think we couldn't attack enough last season cos our full backs didn't join attack enough, maybe cos our midfield wasn't so sound last season.

Yeah!

But I hope United could get Chicharito back to be candid!
His intensity was great. .. even his hold up play was impressive
Family › A Must Read Story I Read by metodman(op): 11:11am On May 26, 2017
MARRIED OR NOT, YOU SHOULD READ THIS ............

“When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, I’ve got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes.

Suddenly I didn’t know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know crewhat I was thinking. I want a divorce. I raised the topic calmly. She didn’t seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, why? You know

I avoided her question. This made her angry. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me, you are not a man! That night, we didn’t talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer; she had lost my heart to Jane. I didn’t love her anymore. I just pitied her!

With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which stated that she could own our house, our car, and 30% stake of my company. She glanced at it and then tore it into pieces. The woman who had spent ten years of her life with me had become a stranger. I felt sorry for her wasted time, resources and energy but I could not take back what I had said for I loved Jane so dearly. Finally she cried loudly in front of me, which was what I had expected to see. To me her cry was actually a kind of release. The idea of divorce which had obsessed me for several weeks seemed to be firmer and clearer now.

The next day, I came back home very late and found her writing something at the table. I didn’t have supper but went straight to sleep and fell asleep very fast because I was tired after an eventful day with Jane. When I woke up, she was still there at the table writing. I just did not care so I turned over and was asleep again.

In the morning she presented her divorce conditions: she didn’t want anything from me, but needed a month’s notice before the divorce. She requested that in that one month we both struggle to live as normal a life as possible. Her reasons were simple: our son had his exams in a month’s time and she didn’t want to disrupt him with our broken marriage.

This was agreeable to me. But she had something more, she asked me to recall how I had carried her into out bridal room on our wedding day. She requested that every day for the month’s duration I carry her out of our bedroom to the front door ever morning. I thought she was going crazy. Just to make our last days together bearable I accepted her odd request.

I told Jane about my wife’s divorce conditions. . She laughed loudly and thought it was absurd. No matter what tricks she applies, she has to face the divorce, she said scornfully.

My wife and I hadn’t had any body contact since my divorce intention was explicitly expressed. So when I carried her out on the first day, we both appeared clumsy. Our son clapped behind us, daddy is holding mommy in his arms. His words brought me a sense of pain. From the bedroom to the sitting room, then to the door, I walked over ten meters with her in my arms. She closed her eyes and said softly; don’t tell our son about the divorce. I nodded, feeling somewhat upset. I put her down outside the door. She went to wait for the bus to work. I drove alone to the office.

On the second day, both of us acted much more easily. She leaned on my chest. I could smell the fragrance of her blouse. I realized that I hadn’t looked at this woman carefully for a long time. I realized she was not young any more. There were fine wrinkles on her face, her hair was graying! Our marriage had taken its toll on her. For a minute I wondered what I had done to her.

On the fourth day, when I lifted her up, I felt a sense of intimacy returning. This was the woman who had given ten years of her life to me. On the fifth and sixth day, I realized that our sense of intimacy was growing again. I didn’t tell Jane about this. It became easier to carry her as the month slipped by. Perhaps the everyday workout made me stronger.

She was choosing what to wear one morning. She tried on quite a few dresses but could not find a suitable one. Then she sighed, all my dresses have grown bigger. I suddenly realized that she had grown so thin, that was the reason why I could carry her more easily.

Suddenly it hit me… she had buried so much pain and bitterness in her heart. Subconsciously I reached out and touched her head.

Our son came in at the moment and said, Dad, it’s time to carry mom out. To him, seeing his father carrying his mother out had become an essential part of his life. My wife gestured to our son to come closer and hugged him tightly. I turned my face away because I was afraid I might change my mind at this last minute. I then held her in my arms, walking from the bedroom, through the sitting room, to the hallway. Her hand surrounded my neck softly and naturally. I held her body tightly; it was just like our wedding day.

But her much lighter weight made me sad. On the last day, when I held her in my arms I could hardly move a step. Our son had gone to school. I held her tightly and said, I hadn’t noticed that our life lacked intimacy. I drove to office…. jumped out of the car swiftly without locking the door. I was afraid any delay would make me change my mind…I walked upstairs. Jane opened the door and I said to her, Sorry, Jane, I do not want the divorce anymore.

She looked at me, astonished, and then touched my forehead. Do you have a fever? She said. I moved her hand off my head. Sorry, Jane, I said, I won’t divorce. My marriage life was boring probably because she and I didn’t value the details of our lives, not because we didn’t love each other anymore. Now I realize that since I carried her into my home on our wedding day I am supposed to hold her until death do us apart. Jane seemed to suddenly wake up. She gave me a loud slap and then slammed the door and burst into tears. I walked downstairs and drove away. At the floral shop on the way, I ordered a bouquet of flowers for my wife. The salesgirl asked me what to write on the card. I smiled and wrote, I’ll carry you out every morning until death do us apart.

That evening I arrived home, flowers in my hands, a smile on my face, I run up stairs, only to find my wife in the bed -dead. My wife had been fighting CANCER for months and I was so busy with Jane to even notice. She knew that she would die soon and she wanted to save me from the whatever negative reaction from our son, in case we push through with the divorce.— At least, in the eyes of our son—- I’m a loving husband….

The small details of your lives are what really matter in a relationship. It is not the mansion, the car, property, the money in the bank. These create an environment conducive for happiness but cannot give happiness in themselves.

So find time to be your spouse’s friend and do those little things for each other that build intimacy. Do have a real happy marriage!

If you don’t share this, nothing will happen to you.

If you do, you just might save a marriage. Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.

Remember love is the richest of all treasures. Without it there is nothing; and with it there is everything. Love never perishes , even if the bones of a lover are ground fine like powder. Just as the perfume of sandalwood does not leave it, even if it is completely ground up, similarly the basis of love is the soul, and it is indestructible and therefore eternal. Beauty can be destroyed , but not love.

If you have taken out your time to read this heart touching story, hit LIKE and write "Amen" then share this story for others to read, don't ignore!

Not a single bit. Striking is not about running without sense. Someone like Mbappe runs to drag a defender out of position, but Rashford just runs and runs and loses concentration.

He's gonna have a limited feat as a striker if he's not careful... the boy can't even use his head to save his life. He's good though and still have a lot of time to develop.

I don't think the players also know what they are playing.. I believe when u use this kind of formation your wingbacks should be mobile.... Tuazebe running up and dowe cos he's playing out of position... the counter attacks can not be good enough when it's only three players up there and 7 down here.. check where Bailey and Tuazebe find themselves

Mou just dey suffer some of these guys
