3 goals between them, wasn't it?

It might not work as a partnership, but I'll bow to the insight of multi-title-winning manager, Jose Mourinho, if it's all the same.

you are obviously unable to debate my points so instead you resort to personal comments, your only response to my opinion that the zlatan-rooney partnership won't work is that im being negative. really, thats all you have got? i could quite easily make the opposite argument and paint you as someone that is unwilling to accept reality and that you have your head buried in the sand...

Your point isn't worth arguing when it's based on a pre season friendly, their first game and one of them only joined up with the squad on Thursday. Get a grip!

I saw the Schweinsteiger signing as a bit of a punt, a bit of a 'let's see if he's still got some juice left in the tank' kind of thing. Worth the gamble for the relatively small amount we paid for him. As it stands, it didn't work out, largely due to his injury problems, and he'll likely be sent on his way. No big deal. I don't really think the move had much of a bearing on our performance last season.

Exactly, I don't know anyone that actually thought he would be the answer in midfield, it was more a 'worth a try' transfer.

Obviously you are the master of all things United though. I look forward to reading your book on the club. |

I saw it as similar to the Falcao move. Both had serious injury problems before coming to OT. Always worth taking a punt on that kind of player, because if it does work out you've got yourself a special player. If not, you've blown a few million in wages that is like a drop in the ocean to a club this size.

People were rightly excited about the move, he was a world cup winner and one of the great players of the last decade. Doesn't mean that he was necessarily perceived as the answer to all of our problems.

wether or not he was percieved as the answer to all of our problems most were very excited about the signing and in favour of it, i was one of the few that argued against the signing on the grounds of his injury prone status and declining mobility. i was proved to be correct on schweinsteiger so i don't see why i shouldn't trust my own opinion again when it comes to the rooney-ibrahimovic partnership. if i was to follow Jim De Ville's line of thinking as seen below i would simply accept whatever decisions the management make and never question anything.
Christ, do you really wonder why people don't want to debate your 'points'? Every 'debate' that I've seen you involved with just seems to be an excuse for you to be dismissive, confrontational, and unnecessarily belligerent. You seem to think that you know better than everyone else, including people who are actually involved with the club. It's incredibly tiresome, but hey, knock yourself out. |

I didn't watch the game but I just saw a clip of Rashford winning the pen. Hard to tell via the grainy twitter clip but It looked to me like he's bulked up a bit over the summer?

I have seen some ridiculous rumours in my time, but this is surely right up there!

https://twitter.com/ManUtdStuff/stat...629787648?s=09 The price looks immense at first, but Januzaj's still a relative nipper and Fellaini would be a terrific signing for them, I think. If he could get Januzaj playing to his apparent potential, and utilise Fellaini as he did at Everton, then the price wouldn't be that outrageous, in today's market. |

I'd wager that a lot of Sunderland's points next season will be won from goals scored through set-pieces, so their interest in Fellaini is understandable.
Januzaj has no future here. |

I would be blown away if we got a sizable figure like that for the pair of them considering apart from Ronaldo, we don't really get fair fees for the talent we sell (Nani, RvP etc).

What relevance does how much we sold Nani for have to do with how much Sunderland will pay for Fellaini?

You really can't judge the situation on a preseason friendly, and I don't think you can start talking as if you're right about the new, free signing being a flop in a preseason friendly in which he scored, and scoring a nice goal like that. His job is to score goals, so if you're going to judge him on a preseason friendly then he did his job. |

Januzaj is a lightweight , skilful player... Mid table is his upper limit... Not worth more than Jordan ibe ... (£13m)

Unless Sunderland offer a decent price for Fellaini I would rather keep him because I still think he has something to contribute.

I managed to watch a reply of the game today, Rooney still seems very rusty. When he has a bit of time on the ball he is putting in some great passes, but when it's all a bit close he seems to have a missed touch or just not be into it. Zlatan brings some great power and an air of confidence that I think will give us something we've not had since Ronaldo. Rashford was fantastic when he came on and if he keeps progressing at this rate he'll likely finish the season as our first choice striker. Still lots of ifs in there... Pogba looks likely now and I hope he could be the turning point for us into a second spell of dominance. |

I wonder if this means Fellaini could be leaving?
Has Valencia let the cat out of the bag? https://twitter.com/ManUtdReport_/st...981245952?s=09 |

I see that Castles is claiming that Mourinho wants another centre-half.
Names in the frame? Bonucci, Fonte, and....bloody Garay! |
