Let no one deceive oneself. This trophy which completes our cabinet and qualifies us for UCL next season is better than finishing second in the EPL.

After some years, no one remembers which team finished second in a league. But a trophy is an everlasting record, particularly when it is a European trophy.

Their fans might not but Potchetino would swap 2nd place for the Europa league trophy and 6th place everyday of the week.

Omo crutches everywhere. We dey sell am!
Anyway. Congrats to the team and congrats to Jose. He needed that. Team still needs major surgery but he has turned a bad season into a good season because winning trophies is the whole point even though I cannot say I enjoyed watching that performance. Looking forward to the Super Cup match v Real Madrid/Juve.

That central defensive partnership shame Martial missed out. Has played relatively well recently but I understand it.

Romero

Valencia Jones Smalling Darmian


Pogba Carrick Herrera

Miki Martial

Rashford

Is my guess.

elampiro:
We should be aiming for strikers who score 20 goals plus every season. Griezmann is a gamble.

Just look at Kane in Tottenham season after season. Look at Aubameyang

Aubameyang would be perfect but highly unlikely.

Very sad news about the terror attack in Manchester at a concert aimed at teens. Thoughts with the families of those affected.

Smalling is up for sale apparently. I don't mind.

Oasis007:
BREAKING NEWS

Antoine Griezmann tells French TV there is a "six out of 10" chance of him joining Manchester United this summer.

The Atletico Madrid forward will decide his future in the next two weeks.

smh looks like we're signing him.

elampiro:
It looks like Ashley Young is not going to return. I would have love to have him on the left instead of Darmian. We should go for attack outpacing them instead of trying to cope with them.

If everyone were available, it could easily have been Valencia - Bailly - Rojo - Darmian/Young.

Or we could just have adopted the formation we used against Chelsea. But we are missing Rojo and Young, so we wont be as effective with that formation of 3-5-2

Jose has always been a caution first manager so trying to nullify them would be his first instinct.

My guess at the lineup

Romero

Val
Jones
Smalling
Darmian

Carrick
Herrera
Pogba

Miki
Rashford
Martial

Although I'm not sure he'll drop Blind but I cant imagine him playing Blind ahead of Smalling or Jones.

DDG will likely head to Real Madrid this summer no need to continue this argument.

I hate Okra.

Looks like 343?

Sad news about Pogba losing his dad after a long battle with illness.

Congrats Chelsea.

I'm sure we'll find a way to draw the final. Hopefully beat them on pens.

Lana1:
Whew! Ope o. We in the final. We go beat this Ajax team!!

Which this trash that we call a team? Or are you joking?

Terrible performance. Thanks to Guidetti being trash. Only player worse than ours.

Blind seems to be having a poor first half though.

elampiro:
We don't know how to punish teams. We scored from virtually nothing, but we could have made the counters after the goal count

You're saying this as if we've havent drawn 300 games this season due to this.

elampiro:
I have always liked that guy, even when it appeared his game declined. Now he has had opportunity to prove himself and nolonger 'free' to move.

Zero chance Real sell him.

Khaytunechi:
Lol @prime Brazilian Ronaldo.. no one comes close presently,, na only Suarez wan get little trickery for leg as per CF..

I no even know the other guys we wan get yet but if Ibra should leave at d end,, then we'll need to hunt for a proper CF,, a RWF,, and CMF..

Shaw should get one last shot at LB,, afterall we've been surviving with the Jones and Smallings,, I say let's give Shaw another shot..

Rojo should be back for d new season yh??

Rojo = December

Chelseafan1:
Na ds same Griezmann Man utd wan break bank for again o?

We go see how far.

if you believe media rumours, yes.

adebayo201:
Muller to me is a kinda Harry Kane.

Thomas Muller not Gerd. Thomas has zero similarity in playing style to Kane.

Well it now offers a route to the champions league so of course its more important to win it now than before. Or is that too much common sense? Am I feeding the troll?

Oasis007:


Like seriously?!

I didn't know winning Community Shield, League Cup, [mathematical] still in the Race for Top 4 as well as the possibility of winning an European Trophy - which guarantee a Spot in the next Season Champions League without Playoff are justifiable enough to sack a Manager.

Kindly pardon my Ignorance.

My mistake, I just realised what you are doing.

Oasis007:
I think you should pay more attention to "Love Affair", you gonna definitely be a good Counselor as its indicated in your Sig.



That's the Answer and clarification to the Parts I highlighted in your Post. I think it's clear you are playing CATCH-UP on this Thread - the Reason you are seeking Attention I guess?!

I haven't called for him to be sacked. I said he has done enough to be sacked with the season he's had so far. You cannot tell me at the start of the season after all that money nearly £150m and the wages he says I'll deliver you a league cup and a 5th
/6th place finish everyone wouldn't say please come and be going? No other top club would accept it so thats the point. Obviously a europa league win will improve things for the outlook of the season but it wouldn't change the fact that the bread and butter is the premier league and we have been terrible in the league this season. Please don't mention the rubbish unbeaten record. I've always liked Jose and he was my preference to replace SAF when he left but let's not hide from the reality of his performance so far. Football is a results business.

Oasis007:

are you saying he hasn't failed this year so far? He's on course to finish lower than lvg in the league.

Rooney isnt good enough to make Carrick's upcoming testimonial starting lineup this summer.

Danhumprey:
Buying more players is not the issue. Buying the right players, deploying the right tactics,not anti-football tactics. These are what matters.

Not playing wingers/attackers as fullbacks, forwards as extra defenders.

Man, that shiit is so not funny.


The board should calm down on any talk of contract extension for Mourinho for now, please.

I 100% agree. Personally feel he has done enough to be sacked this summer but that won't happen. So looking at the realistic options this summer.

With regards to this summer a lot will depend on of we win the europa league and qualify for the CL. So it'll be tough to say who we will sign.

Jose should be gutting out the squad this summer. As its bloated but not enough quality at the highest level.

Would have been more shocked if Rooney had done anything with that chance.

Axel is a great first name. Always thought it was Alex.
