One Asia club is going after him, he should drop his pride and go there. He should accept he is no longer the player he used to be, he can only deceive his myopic fan with last season performance by oppressing other attackers and coach to play through him so he can score and remain in the spot light at the detriment of the team progress. Man U other attackers had good goal return at least and finished 2nd, before he came last season. At 37 you still want to be the main man so as to score tap in and still be mentioned alongside Messi, why forcing it instead of helping the young attackers in the team grow you are unhealthily competing with them, because you know they can not talk due to your football statue. Only Rooney had the balls to talk and they thought he was hating. His sister compare every of his life to Messi, family obsession. Man U should make sure he move on this season and see how they will perform and do well.

I'll repeat this again. The point is not about Messi wanting to leave or not cuz I'm sure everything will fly over your head.
Omo see gaslighting moves shocked

Chill first... Wtf you trying to whine huh huh

How can someone have so much penchant for insincerityhuh

. Who wasn't even aware of Leeyo's burofax controversy that year?

And as far as genuine sources go, dailymail and Sun sometimes give credit to the genuine sources and that's all that matters. So you can't just condemn those sites kpata kpata like that.

Leeyo that tried to force his way out of Barca as soon as Koeman arrived and Luis Suarez was kicked out of the club.

All these ITKs seff.

Wish I could like this a million times.

I mentioned it last year that Ronaldo's signing would do more damage than good. For the Glazers, it was a good decision business-wise, of course, they make more money. But for people that understand football properly, not those with leprosy-infected fingers that type shitt just to suck the butt of a fucking 'legend', it was a bad football decision.
My prayer is for him to leave, then you all would see a different United team, with goal contributions across board.

He is a legend but he should do and retire or go to Middle East for football sake, he is misleading naive football fan that the game is about scoring alone and nothing else so any player that score tap in is praised and hailed compared to the players that make the team work as a unit.

Fabrizio Romano: Lisandro Martínez to Manchester United, here we go! Full agreement in place between Man United and Ajax for package up to €55m. Lisandro will sign until 2027, documents now approved.

Deal done - meeting in Amsterday on Wednesday was the key step. Ten Hag, big factor.

They should leave this de Jong and move to other targets. He was the first target but three players moved for after him has come. Ten hag should leave am and chase other midfielders. He's not the only regista in this world. Let him rot in barka.

All this hate in a dumb post? So in a XI of 3 or 4 attackers, one of the attackers outshines the others means say he tied them with rope to avoid scoring?

The games he didn't played in ko, wetin happen? I don't know why people like to fly unreasonable agenda to suit their sentiments. Last season was a disaster season for United with most players having poor performance but was it the first time to happen? United equally had disasterclass seasons like 3 out of the past 6 seasons so why pinning the whole blame of last season's shambles on a 37 yo?

Any true United fan would accept that CR7 is definitely past his best but the fact that in his decline, he outbest your young attackers should make you'll worried. Sancho had a disaster season but the heat was never on him due to Ronaldo's presence (as against if CR7 wasn't signed).

Hopefully whatever ETH is cooking works out well and United will see the best of Sancho, Bruno, Rashford, Martial, and CR7 (if he stays). If everyone performs well (or above average), United should be lifting a real trophy come 2023! Just tune down the illogical takes mate. Cheers!

Maguire is captain for the main time. Eric would need a little bit of time to study and know who he would appoint captain.

I think to get the best out if this squad you posted, a 4-1-2-3 might just be the best bet.

DDG
Shaw
Varane
Baily
Bissaka
Martinez
Bruno
De Jong
Rashford
Martial
Sancho.

ATTACKING:

I really think Bissaka would be in the first team purely due to his defensive capabilities. On the attack, man u could switch to a back three of Varane, Bailly and Bissaka while Shaw goes forward in order to give better attacking options.

Rashford, Martial and Sancho would maintain a constant attacking presence in the opponents third while Bruno and Frenkie constantly try to pick up on the mistakes and redistribute to our defenders in order to give our forwards some rest and pull out the opponents before the next wave of attack OR, they keep distributing the ball in the opponents half while allowing our back 3 to get closer to the halfway line in order to contribute in the attack and in the same stroke, allowing our forwards find space in between opposing defenders.

BRUNO WILL HOLD, De Jong will roam.

DEFENSIVELY:

As per training, the forwards will be the first line of defense, pressing high. They will be joined by BRUNO and FDJ in order to try win the ball in their half. A 5-2-3 that allows Martinez to meld with the defensive line as one of the CB's while Bruno and FDJ's role becomes predominantly box to box. This setup allows Martinez to make outliers and assist in the pressing. Man to man marking should be employed and our fullbacks should hug the touchline in order to minimize damaging offensive runs by opposing wingers. ( This is why there's AWB on the right... DEFENSIVELY, Dalot is trashy).

Omo, typing no easy cry

You can substitute FDJ, for VDB or ERIKSEN... I don't know who's coming that's why the midfield is setup to allow as much flexibility as possible. Bruno is definitely a starter until I see otherwise.

No insults please, tell me what you think

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Searchingvictor: 9:57am On Jul 15, 2022
Me watching this Martinez highlight be like watching Fred highlight before he joined man utd and could not give us replica of that.

I hope Martinez will replicate this for us. cheesy
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by patrickmuf(m): 10:00am On Jul 15, 2022
From all indication, FDJ wants to join Manchester United but he can't come out to say it since he is owed $17m by Barcelona...

Barcelona are trying to be smart by forcing him out because they don't want to pay the money or at least they want him him to make some concessions which is ridiculous...

How will you sign Raphinha for over $70m and are after Lewandowski who will cost between $45-50m and you expect De Jong to write off the $17m he is owed?

Barcelona should simply pay him off or be ready to keep him...Barcelona is holding down the deal and not FDJ as they're trying to have us believe...

At Barcelona, FDJ is interested in the Busi role, he feels that's his best position so, I don't see him being too happy with the idea of being pushed up...

Bruno hold? Impossible, Bruno just doesn't have the positional discipline rather he is the one who should roam whilst someone like Eriksen holds...

AWB won't start for ETH, the coach has come out to say he wants to create a balance on both sides thus AWB won't start...

It will be interesting to see what ETH does with Garner because he has shown he can at least deputize for whoever is the team's deep lying playmaker...
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Nobody: 10:09am On Jul 15, 2022
Also about Ronaldo leaving saga.
He's a 37yo who clocks 38 next year. It makes sense that no top tier club would want his service knowing that he would have zero resale value, high wages and possibility of being a floo due to reduced performance ( as per old age levels).

Mendes and Ronaldo tried to see if he could get another high profile transfer to make the most of whatever is left of his career. The man is ambitious and he obviously doesn't think United can compete for big titles within the short time he has (which we'll know is the truth). The lure of United finally getting themselves and winning the big titles was want brought CR7 here in the first place.

Personally, I feel CR7 miscalculated cos he probably felt an opening in Bayern was a high possibility (since Lewandoskwi is leaving). Only Bayern (of the tier-1 clubs he fancies) can buy him but the likelihood is <20%. So more likely he stays and start the first games from the bench (my prediction). Should Martial find his form in the early games then United would have two elite strikers for the season. If not CR7 sends him back to the bench. Win-win for United.

I see no reason why United fans should be really care about this CR7 saga. Afterall most transfers (and good ones too) happens on deadline day. Na to arrange the whole team (midfield, defense, wing options) be the main issue for me.
