No obvious route. His preferred position seems to be on the left and he is not better than Martial who is the same age. There will be a space for a squad player and Lingard, Adnan and him can fight for that.

I didn't mean starting 11.
That still looks like a long shot... But it seems he's playing as the most advanced central midfielder in a 433 today.
I do not know how feasible it will be to make him play deeper.

SIRcumalot:
fear they catch me to call am average.
i no understand him game at all,i no even sure say Ancelotti understand.

ask them his strength, they will start yarning some esoteric shít about right place and intelligence.

Attacker that cannot dribble, has neither pace nor power and is not renowned for passing either.
I'm not even sure where his original position is. I don't know of he's a striker ,central attacking midfielder or wide man
To think that he was valued at such an insane fee, when van Gaal reportedly tried yo sign him... sigh

Some even went as far as saying he was better than prime wazza.. Smh

Pereira scores equalises for Granada, free kick placed below the wall, but they still go ahead to concede.
I wonder if there's a route to the 1st team squad for this guy

afrodoc2:

I honestly prefer Aubameyang who is a ready made and better no 9 than Griezmann.

The first thing is for JM to realize that we have to play 4-3-3 to bring out the best in Pogba.
Next thing is to recognize Mikki and Martial as the safest bets to start at RWF and LWF respectively.

If he accepts both i.e 4-3-3 and Mikki+Martial being first choice then the next step is to go for a no9 that will play the next 3 or 4 years at the highest level and Auba is the best bet IMO.
After that there are questions about the 2 partners for Pogba going forward. 1) Who replaces Carrick long term 2) Is Herrera good enough to be the 3rd leg of the midfield tripod. This will determine who he gets in that section.
I don't think we NEED any reinforcement in defense. At LB options are Shaw, Rojo, Blind and CBJ who will back from loan. At RB AV, TFM, Jones etc and we have 4 potential CBs already.

and probably cheaper too..

Chelseafan1:
After all has been said and done, let Fraudiola buy the whole of Barca and Madrid combined(which is not possible anyway) he won't still be invisible in this league, he can never win this league 3 years in a row.
This is not LA liga nor Bundesliga

He has spent 180m, someone even said Aguero is a shitty player in a bid to absolve Pep of his failings.

Nothing wey we no go read, we would all be alive when he replaces the old legs, y'all Pep suporters should start preparing your other ridiculous excuses.

no one tops 'Pep Is struggling because Navas is 30+ and has lost pace'

raumdeuter:
Navas has always been bad and dependent on speed, WHat happens to speed players after 30

so he has lost his speed

raumdeuter:
That means City had no full back options under 30. Not to talk of Navas Toure etc

Was Stones and Bravo there when City was conceding the highest amount of goals among the top 4 for 2 seasons back to back?

City was conceding more than Van Gaal in the 2 seasons

I am sure it was Pep's making

age affected navas too?

Kagawa10:
Nope!

Kompany played 13 league games last season (1/3 of City's league matches) and with him, City only lost 2 games and had 9 clean sheets in his 13 games played! Without him, City lost 8 games and kept only 7 clean sheets in 26 matches.

So, don't tell me it was Pep's announcement that cropped in those goals, it was their woeful defence without Kompany to help them out. It was even worse to the extent that Kompany had to play as soon as he was available without giving him enough time to recuperate! They had no win against all the teams that finished top 6 in the league last season to show how awful they were yet you're telling me nonsense?

Whether you like it or not, I've never rated Kolarov, Clichy even when they were young, so what are you going to do about it now that they are a lot older? Anyone who consistently watched Epl matches would know these players were accidents waiting to happen!

but raumdeuter, kompany is supposed to be shít

raumdeuter:
EVen for the attack sef. Sachez is better than everyone on City left side while Walcott is even better than everyone on the right side IMO

so Arsenal have a better attack?

It's also easy to ignore that city spent more money than every other team, but he didn't break the world record transfer fee so it's OK

Funny how all of a sudden all footballers are to become useless at 30...

Someone wants to use Pogba to gain the popularity his playing career couldn't offer

Lol @the 20m part

Frustration really Is a bad thing
Man just needs to pour it out and Pogba is the unfortunate victim

Brightwood:
A loan where Lyon pays would have been best but I agree he needs to leave for now...I really like Depay...Shame...Very lovely Lad.

this is almost like a loan, but better.
If he manages to get his acts together and there's space for him, we activate the buy back clause and get him back.
If not, we get part of the money if he moves elsewhere.

If he still continues to be garbage, we manage the money we recouped


It's a win for us whatever happens

Brilliant...

SIRcumalot:
if we somehow get 20million or 18 with a buy back clause that na good business
I don't think depay lack of success was due to laziness na just bad luck and maybe his talent was way overrated.

shoutout to LVG for that FA cup trophy,the man retire yesterday.

I don't think figures can be inserted in such classes. Only percentages.

BushWickBill:
For me, the earlier we move on from the Memphis debacle, the better for us. I'm not so sure the fee is really anything of any significance.
Let Memphis try to resuscitate his career elsewhere, and let's either find his replacement or move on without him.
The transfer saga is always a distraction.

I don't care what Chelsea does in the transfer market. That's their business. I just want this issue resolved as quickly as possible.

My point is, let's dispose of deadweight players like him. They were never of any real value to us on or off the pitch so even if we sell them for relative peanuts, I'm not really bothered.

I just don't see the rush...sorry

Funlordjnr:
So the "something" that hasn't touched his brain for almost 2 years now will suddenly be touched in 6 months?

My friend depay should get lost! He is an unserious footballer! The money and the fame has gotten to his brain! He should start rapping instead!

BushWickBill:
I think it's best we take a loss on that fellow and let him go.

if Na Chelsea dey sell depay, them for no sell am for anything less than 28-30m.
Just 20 wey we dey ask for, lyon dey price like crayfish.

There's no rush to sell, so no need to sell for peanuts.
If we must sell cheap, then we should be inserting a sell on clause.
Because after 2-3 years they'll be selling for decent money after he must have torn those French farmers and fishermen to shreds

This thread shows how divided we now are

Fans of Utd but not Mourinho
Fans of Mourinho not Utd
Fans of Mourinho and everything Utd
Fans of Utd, Ibrahimovic not Mourinho or Pogba
Fans of everything anti-utd but still frequent here than the breath they take
Fans of Fraudiola wishing he coached Utd
Fans of Utd, Pogba, Ibrahimovic but not Rooney
Everlasting Fans of Rooney, but not Mourinho
Fans of Utd, poole, some United unknowns but not Herrera
Fans of Utd but certainly not and never will be pogba
Fans of Utd, but not Woodward or the board
Fans with no mentions who only try to court controversy with Mourinho hate
Fans who can't wait for the next 10 page argument, fight, then call for the resident e-doctor for mop up
Finally Fans of Arsenal, Chelsea, Bayernliga but side fans of Utd.

Welcome to the official Manchester United fan thread of nairaland.

ollah1:
Now I know why Dayo disses you here and there. Why haven't Ancelotti upgraded the bayern team pep left for him even tho it's a young side compared to the ageing Robben and Riberry Jupp left for Pep?

Of course u will never mention it that Robben and Ribbery were the men Jupp used to achieve the treble but were already aged and prone to injury upon Pep's arrival.

Your hatred knows no bound.
You should hit the gym btw. Obesity kills. You should kill it first bro

poor Pep. Always coming exactly a year after key players have aged

These lyon people should go to hell.
Granted depay is not a serious person but I want him to stay till summer.
Something might touch his brain to make him take his career more seriously.

but Jose is the chequebook manager

raumdeuter:
Cos Mourinho is and has been behind Pep

no be you talk say a coach is a good good his recent results?

Elamps wehdone jare

raumdeuter:
Will his current failure take away his achievements?

says the man that's quickest to dump mourinho's achievements in the bin

RooRuudRonSaha:
will man u beat all the small team it will face.

sometimes you need to calm down and understand what someone is trying to say before quoting... Seriously.

A few (really unfortunate) draws that time and many people were declaring top 4 gone.
I wonder if there's still anyone with this opinion.

And let's stop acting like ALL our rivals will beat ALL the 'small' teams they'll face, making it look like our managing to beat these teams (if/when we do) will be useless

Lana1 I just dey use corner eye dey look you and your anti mourinho brigade.
Kwontinue...

People just like to dwell on negativity too much.
Even the performance today wasn't nearly as bad as the reaction.
Sometimes we need to look at the big picture.
16 games unbeaten, all comps. The team Is playing good and exciting football again.

Sometimes I dey tire men.

afrodoc2:
Yeah. That was the match in which JM parked the bus. We have dropped too many unnecessary points already this season and if we don't start beating other top 6 teams especially at home we won't make top 4. We need to beat the other top teams and deny them points, beating the small teams and getting draws or losses against the big teams won't be enough.

I actually think this will be more than enough.

RooRuudRonSaha:
from 6 points against liverpool last season to just 2 points even with key players out for liverpool, mourinho is the greatest.

pellegrini must be better than baldiola
Everton never chopped him 4 nil, you know

One bad game after how long and they are already losing their heads


Anytime the idiot do new flashy haircut, he dey always underwhelm.
He was just atrocious today, has to be said
