Martial won a pen within the sub minutes given to him, fouled by his own club mate.. no one is crying.

When he wins it in the Premier League, they’ll all come here to wail about Man United cheating bla bla bla

Maybe France too is cheating.

Fernandes will drink to their tears

Is it Sancho that set his own transfer fee? It’s a seller’s market. If you are not buying, look for option elsewhere.

weedtaker:
Bruno is a pure numbers guy like lampard, I know what am saying when I said he will challenge de Bruyne next season.

Someone like Iniesta or Pogba will make a pass that will set up the striker 1 on 1 against the keeper and the striker will miss. But Bruno will set up another midfielder 40yrds from goal and the thing go enter Net.

timay:


The way Martial moves and dribbles, it's very difficult not to foul that guy if you want to take the ball off him.

In the last 7 seasons since fergie retired is is our best signing by far

United in Serbia is very popular. It is probably, after Red Star and Partizan, it is the third club. If you look at how many supporters they have, Red Star is number one, Partizan is second and United is third.

I always liked United especially when Nemanja Vidic was playing here. He is from Serbia, he lives not far from my house in West Serbia, so we always supported him. When I got the opportunity to come here I wanted to play for United, for probably the biggest club in England and one of the best clubs in the world. We can say maybe Real Madrid, Manchester United and maybe Bayern. For me that’s the three biggest clubs in the world.

It was easy to make the decision. I don’t want to say that I was not happy at Chelsea, of course I was happy, but I thought it was the right time to move. As I said, when you get the chance to go and play for Manchester United I think that you have to use that. I respect everyone, I respect of course, Chelsea, but I felt it was the right time to move.

To play at Old Trafford, if you play for United or you play for other teams, it is always special. When you step on the pitch, for me it is the best stadium in the world. You can see it has some history. It has something different to other stadiums. I have to say, Tottenham’s new stadium is great. A lot of new stadiums, they look good, but Old Trafford has something different and I hope that they can keep it like that.

It is always special. For me, when I played against United for Benfica or for Chelsea it was always good motivation, it was always high because you want to do your best against United to show your quality. So I know exactly how the other teams feel when they play against us, especially at Old Trafford. That’s why we need to know that they will always give their best. They want to show their quality and their motivation against us is always bigger then when they play against other clubs.

My first introduction to the real Sir Alex was my debut against Manchester City [after a horrendous first half Evra was replaced]. At half-time he gave the hairdryer for one minute to every player. It was a long 15 minutes. At the end he say to me in five seconds: ‘Patrice, sit down. You will learn how to play in England.’ That night my agent said: ‘We made the biggest mistake coming here. I’m sorry.’ I was upset but I was burning.

The new generation are softer than we used to be. I give you an example. At half-time we’re beating Tottenham 2-0. Everyone’s saying: ‘Patrice, you’re playing amazing.’ The worst is when Ferguson stays quiet. He was quiet that day for five minutes. He looks straight in my eyes. ‘Patrice, do you think you’re playing good?’ I say: ‘Yeah.’ Ferguson says: ‘I saw you pass the ball back to Van der Sar.’

‘Yes, boss, but just one.’ He said: ‘If you pass the ball back again I take you off because this is one of your worst games.’

My eyes start burning because I don’t like the injustice. We won 4-0 and the next day I go to Ferguson’s office. ‘Hello, son, what’s the problem?’ ‘Boss, the problem is yesterday.’ Ferguson says: ‘Patrice, some players were disrespecting the opposition. I wanted everyone focused. I picked you to give them the message because you’re strong.’

We are still so close now. I speak to the boss three times a month and his nephews love my videos. One day he texted me: ‘Patrice, I love that video.’ I say: ‘Boss, one day you give me the hairdryer, now you’re laughing about my videos.’

When Ferguson left, United lost their DNA, their philosophy. He was inspiring so much respect, so much fear, and if any player starts thinking he is bigger than the team then he destroyed you. The players always wanted to play for Ferguson. I tried my best for David Moyes but I knew it would be a disaster because players won’t respect him like that. It was a mission impossible.

United have qualified for the Champions League. It’s not a big achievement but it’s massive progress from where we’ve come. I love Ole. One game we’re on the bench and I started talking. He said: ‘Patrice. I’m focused.’ He would analyse everything so he knows which defender is getting tired. That’s why we called him the Babyfaced Assassin. He helped United win the Champions League that way.

United can’t challenge Liverpool or Man City. Not yet. There’s been massive damage but we’re moving in the right direction. When they wanted to sign Bruno Fernandes, Ole texted me. I asked for advice from Cristiano Ronaldo. Cristiano says: ‘Bruno’s a good guy and very professional.’ I say: ‘Ole, I’ve spoken with Cristiano. Let’s go for it.’ And Fernandes had a massive impact. Without him I don’t think we would have qualified for the Champions League.

KingAlabi:
Defensive side??

Leyqute:


I get what you’re talking about. Bruno will like giving those kinda assist that only require the scorer to tap in.

Apart from that, he really strives to understand his teammates and gives them the ball in their position of strength so that it will be easier for them to score.

Trust me, if Bruno was with the ball and Rashford and Mason are both open for the same difficulty level pass to be 1 vs 1 with the GK, he’ll give the ball to Mason 8 or 9 out of 10 times cos he knows Mason is the better finisher.

He’s that intelligent.

Leyqute:


Yyup. But he still played at least one major tournament with them. Louis Figo and Rui Costa were 31 and 32 during Euro 2004. Ronaldo was 19. They lost the final to Greece.

That takes nothing away from his sheer mental strength to develop and succeed though. He was successful at the international level without many top players around him.

After that Masterclass yesterday oga wife still put to bed.


2020 is the Bruno Fernandes year.

Expert17:


This guy still go assist for labor room.

engrelvis:
l think man UTD v realized dis guy is nt worth d price hence their soft peddling.I blame our scout for dis mediocrity. How can u b paying £350k a week for such an average player?talented players with less financial burden abound every where. Our scouting team shud intensity their efforts

larride:
Na wa. See reaction everywhere on top just 1 match.

Expert17:


We are talking about that 100+ price tag and 350k per week deal...

Abeg no way we are paying that.

Nezzjnr:
Let's tell ourselves the Truth

Sancho isn't worth more than 80m

larride:


Does Southgate even strike you like a manager that knows what he’s doing?

I see names that someone dropped as possible alternative and I laugh. Neres of Ajax, Leon Bailey of Leverkusen (from the same league that Sancho is tearing apart) over Sancho?

Expert17:


That's the reported offer.

He's on 190k a week at Dortmund, and we like doubling our new players pay.

Van De Beek was on 30K a week at Ajax, we gave him 105K a week ( excluding bonus).

TrebleChamp:
If you na Manager of a business, you go just dey blow money trowey on anything buyable. Not my money but that money should be put to more judicious use. £108m for that one wey no even better pass Greenwood....

Expert17:


After Di Maria, Depay and Sanchez.

We don wise up abeg.

There's no way Sancho won't demand for 300+ a week, and that's too much.

elrony:


And you were typing like he was earning peanuts at Dortmund.

No way United is paying him 350k tho

Oasis007:


So we should not criticize Sancho too?! We've not got him, yet he's already under Armor Shield.

CapitalCee:



Guys are doing as if anybody is saying dont sign Sancho, we want Sancho but not for 108m pounds. Sancho doesn't worth that, it's very very clear. Dortmund should sell him for 60m. I haven't seen Sancho open up any tight defence even at Dortmund. And I haven't seen him being exceptional in Champions league. Maguire gets so much criticism due to his price which in truth is not above 40m pounds. Sancho will be buried alive if he fails to win at least 10/38 games on his own. Even Bruno that lifted us from the abyss is bullied by fans let alone a 100m+ player.

elrony:


Agreed o, but we sabi how transfer dey go.

How much we buy slab head again?
