The Telegraph are suggesting he's doubtful for Sunday's match, as well as being out of the game tonight. Hopefully LVG takes at least 20 players regardless of injuries down to London with him to avoid having a short bench like we had on Saturday. It would have been worse on Saturday had we not forced Januzaj to drive across from London, after playing for the U21's on Friday night. The whole event with regards the bench on Saturday was totally unprofessional, and some where within the club something should be said. I can accept it off clubs lower down the pyramid, but the biggest club in the country didn't have enough players to fill the bench even when one goes down in the warm up isn't a good show.

I'm sort of feeling the same way about tonight's game as I did the cup game a few weeks back there. It's not been our favourite stomping ground over the years, but we've had a fair few good results there, let's make it one more. It would once again stick it to the journalists who are making such a big deal about them leaving the Boleyn, I don't recall this for Arsenal or City when they left there former grounds.

So sanches has joined bayern.....and for around £37 million .

As usual Bayern do not mess around, unlike us who dilly and dasher, and miss out on targets.

Typical.

City have to go to Wales and play Swansea in their last match, which considering their form, puts Swansea in the driving seat for that match.

Last year we signed Memphis in May for ****s sake and had all but one signing done by the time we went on tour in early July (the one being a player who'd only become available in August). And what the **** does 'dilly and dasher' mean?

Fair enough, it should have said "dilly dather" that is spell check for you!

We must not have been that serious about him then.

Think you mean 'dilly dally', assuming that you are a time-traveller from the 1920's and still use that phrase.

Reckon we were serious but the player/club got a better offer. It happens. I'm just sick of the constant overreactions when it comes to United. One player doesn't join us and everyone loses their shit and forgets everything that has happened before in an effort to whine.

Okay then, it was just slightly annoying to have all of the press reports etc saying that we were interested in him, and then wham, seemingly out of no where, Bayern come in and sign him without any fuss or hype.

Although quite how they are going to fit him in amongst all of their unbelievably high quality midfielders will be interesting to see.

It happens with us. Whenever we don't get a player people go apeshit over a player they never heard of or seen play. We get linked to a player from abroad and suddenly fans become experts of this player and he becomes the next best thing, then when we don't sign them Ian Ayre is the worst person in the world for not signing them. The main one was Mkhitaryan, when we got linked with him everyone suddenly wanted him based on some YouTube videos, then went crazy when he chose to go to Dortmund.

Not sure how you can get upset with the club "dilly dathing" over an 18 year old kid costing £30m+ that you've never seen play and probably know nothing about. Not paying such silly money might be the club being smart, rather than stupid.

Don't know much about him so as Catherine Tate would say "Does this face look bothered? "

Not going to have sleepless nights over this.

Happens with arsenal as well..Just standard. All fans react the same

Yeah, it's definitely not something that is reserved for United but it seems particularly stupid with us. For two summers in a row we have spent over £60m on players before mid-July and yet we still get people lining up to accuse us of waiting too long or being too tight with our money.

I wonder if sanches signing for bayern means we may be keeping van gaal.

I think I read that he wasn't a big fan of the managers style of play.

The flip side is that The Mail are claiming/speculating that we could be in for Matic, which may hint at Mourinho.

In summary: Who bloody knows?

Since Jose was sacked this has been worse than the summer(s) of Schneider.

It changes every day!

If you got Mourinho wonder how long it'd take until you were linked with Steven Gerrard? Mourinho likes him, and has tried to sign him before, I'm sure someone, somewhere, will create a link.

If it gets hits I might even do it.

Didn't Fergie try to sign him when he was a kid, or was it Carragher?

I'm sure it was one of them.

Reckon a 'shock' link to John Terry will happen at some point.

To use Vince's theme music "No Chance In Hell!"

Let him stay at Galaxy or go back to Liverpool post November.

I believe Fergie did try to sign Gerrard once. People recited that fact when Ferguson's book came out saying Gerrard wasn't a "top, top player".

We were also linked with Ferguson once, either before or after Roy Hodgson. The Star and the Express like their crazy rumours.


I'm sure that story's already been written, someone's just waiting for Mourinho to officially become your manager before they hit submit.

Although the fact that he's not your manager now hasn't stopped rumours, of course.

Oh my word, could you imagine if Gerrard, and Terry both signed for us, it would lead to many a mutiny I would imagine!

Who the hell is 'Vince'?

The Vince that I mentioned, is Vince Mcmahon.

Who?

Is this another one of your 'wrestling' references?

Yeah, I'm a bit surprised to not already see a link, as you say, they haven't stopped despite not knowing who our manager will be.
