My own be say I no wan hear the players still has Van gaal's tactic in their brain. Because he can't say Martial or Mikhi were "Vangalised" already, like some would have us believe?

Why is it that Carrick/Rashford still looked good as they were in Van gaal system while the known dullards (Herrera, Depay, Morgan, Fellaini etc) still had their traits in the pre-season?

At least, Van gaal choice of words that most of his players aint good for his fluid tactic were spot on!

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Diademk07: 11:35am On Aug 06, 2016
This Mourinho has come up with his bullshite that he would have signed Renato! Lol!

The same man who implied that a player is never quite ready until he's 22. Or he tink say the board would get him both Pogba and Renato sanches for huge fees. The Renato himself has little defensive awareness nor passing skills, he's just all pace and power!

Mourinho shouldn't make me laugh abegi!

The truth is I don't even hate the man although I don't have any allegiance to him until he start performing but what I don't like is his stupidity with words or his obsession with other managers.

He already shot himself in the foot by saying Rooney would be his 10 when the best ideal position that suit the now ageing Rooney is the central midfield Vangal deployed him. This would have allowed the likes of Mikhi and Martial to drift in and roam. That's why I keep laughing at his dumbfounded response on how the players still had Van gaal tactic in their brain. He has yet to find a good replacement for Carrick as well.

This is just the beginning, he go kabach so tey heaven go rain!

not sure we should sell outright.
The form Rojo & Jones has shown of recent times suggest we may need another back up CB soon enough.

As far as I'm concerned, LVG came along with three of those "useless" players.
I can't believe a coach who wasted money on several flops will still have much support from a deluded fan
Falcao, Schwein, ADM, Depay, Schneiderlin,
All high profile flops and waste of money.

Funny enough, you somehow believe he wouldn't have wasted the funds this time around if he wasn't sacked.
You need to shut up really. sad


Ruudie don join Sevilla, maybe you should port to Ajax too.

Falcao was loaned though. Yes, Van gaal wasted money but With transfers, you either lose some or win some, It's just like a lottery. However, what I wouldn't dispute is the fact that he was building a team and has showed capability of able to build a team around quality youngsters which Mourinho has never done.

The team only needed a good midfield and a right winger last season. No guarantee whether he would have got it right with the impending summer signings but I'm quite sure the youngsters (Poole and Harrop) would have made it and Kante would have been signed.

My main gripe with Mourinho is his attempts at rubbishing other manager's work without any provocation from them when he has yet to rebuild his tarnishing reputation or finding others to blame for his failure!

I think Mourinho should learn from Ancellotti who tends to learn from previous manager's work and then make necessary amendments. As opposed to Mourinho criticism of the previous Manager on "Rooney in midfield, Blind in defence or Valencia at right back" when that's the position that fits them most. His obsession with Wenger is also another problem and his tendency to put others under the bus for his failure!

Why José Mourinho is totally correct in his decision to leave Bastian Schweinsteiger out of his plans

"Over the last week, numerous reports have suggested Bastian Schweinsteiger has failed to impress new boss José Mourinho, leading to the German falling short of José’s preferred 26 man squad. The reports of the German’s unfavourable position at Old Trafford only grew when his brother, Tobi Schweinsteiger, tweeted ‘no respect’ on the day the story broke, suggesting the speculation of the mistreatment of his brother is indeed true.

Of course, the English media snap up any chance they can to write derogatory headlines about José Mourinho, given his love-hate relationship with them, it’s hard to imagine otherwise. But, in this situation, I believe Mourinho is one hundred percent correct with his hardline approach.
Louis van Gaal signed the veteran midfielder for a fee of £6.5million, a small fee for a man with such an illustrious career behind him, but the World Cup winner failed to deliver what was anticipated of him at Old Trafford. Injury-ridden, the 32-year-old only made 18 appearances, with most coming from the bench. On £200,000 a week, he was stealing a living as he spent half of his time at Manchester United out of England. His Spouse, Ana Ivanovic, has a peripatetic way of life due to Tennis commitments and Bastian often attended her matches whilst injured, including a trip to Miami back in March. Earning £200k a week to travel the world, watching a completely different sport to your profession, the German was making a mockery out of the club. Now that, Tobi Schweinsteiger, is showing a lack of respect. The journey of Luke Shaw springs to mind. Back in September, the 21-year-old broke his leg against PSV in the Champions League and ever since, the return to fitness has been his main priority and one in which he has now achieved. So much so, Shaw even dismissed the usual post-season holiday adopted by most players and focused on his recovery. Instead of this, Schweinsteiger continuously spent his days out of action back in Germany and only returned on match days, which was only because it was forced upon him by Louis van Gaal.

In order to return amongst Europe’s elite, Manchester United need to stop being made a mockery of. Sir Alex Ferguson believed nobody was bigger than the club, and that’s how it should be. In recent years, some players have used the club almost as a stepping stone to their own ambitions. One Ángel Di María was the prime example of this and if that wasn’t enough, Sergio Ramos thrived off supposed United interest and later gained his main aim, a new contract at Real Madrid. If the addition of José Mourinho wasn’t a big enough statement that this needs to stop, his actions certainly are. Stamping his authority down with Bastian Schweinsteiger is only the beginning.

Sometimes, especially in this situation, I wonder about the curious case of Manchester United fans. Agonised by the club under-performing, the thought of José Mourinho, standing in the Manchester United dugout before 75,000 fans was a godsend, something that dreams were made of. After two seasons of dismal football and quite pathetic results,
anything was an upgrade on Louis van Gaal and his backwards passing. Now that the club has acted upon fans demands, some fans still aren’t happy. The fact of the matter is, that if Bastian Schweinsteiger had acted like he did last season under Sir Alex Ferguson, his treatment would have been far worse than he is receiving right now, and rightfully so. Bastian’s lack of respect & commitment for the club only warrants a lack of respect from José to him, whether he is a fan favourite or not, no player should undermine the club and neither should one be paid £200,000 a week to wish his team-mates happy birthday.

In addition to Bastian Schweinsteiger’s lack of commitment to Manchester United, the addition of Paul Pogba would leave very little space for the German in terms of a position in the first XI, along with Fellaini, Mata, Herrera, Wayne Rooney, Schneiderlin and Daley Blind, who could be used as central midfielders, Schweinsteiger would find himself extremely far down in the pecking order, meaning his weekly wages would be a giant waste of the clubs funds.
All in all, I, personally, would like Bastian to stay at the club, his CV speaks speaks for itself, likewise with his leadership qualities. But for someone with such low levels of commitment to a project that needs 100% effort and focus, if Mourinho doesn’t believe he provides what is needed to rise above the rest, back to the top, then he has to go, fan favourite or not."

you are missing the point.
Its all about perceived potential. McNair instead of progressing has actually regressed and If the club no longer have confidence in his potential and feel his spot Is better given to another youngster, it's perfectly understandable.

Thats simply not realistic. It will be a very tight and tough game. We don't look like we have many goals in us at the moment.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 3:45pm On Aug 06, 2016

I don't know what exactly the argument is, but when we played the diamond under Gaal, we had Blind in the base of the diamond while Rooney/Mata played at the tip. Di Maria and Herrera were at the sides.

When we played it under SAF against Newcastle which we won 3-0 in 2012/2013, Carrick was at the base, Rooney in the tip and Kagawa and Cleverley in the sides.

Overall, I don't rate Blind as a DM, he didn't offer any solid protection to Di Maria when he was at the base of our diamond under Gaal. I also prefer calling the formation 4-1-2-1-2 to calling it 4-4-2 diamond. 4-4-2 is a different stuff totally where you play with width.

Below screenshots when we played diamond against Newcastle (we won 3.0), West Ham (we won 2-1) and QPR (we won 4-0)
