I wish! No, just educated guessing based on different stuff that's being reported. I honestly think it's not far off.

You were spot on. And thanks to Zieler for also being on the ball with the information.

I am away from a TV screen, so I hope that is true!
First time for everything, eh?

Not our strongest lineup but with six subs I suppose there's a high chance we'll see the likes of Mkhitaryan later in the game.

Money is no object even when nobody else wants to pay that much for him.....
Well, I wasn't talking about money at all but, what else would you rather the club spend it on? No one else was willing to spend £80m on Ronaldo (AFAIK), but Real Madrid believed they needed him.

If you have a jigsaw puzzle and someone else has the missing piece you need, what else are you going to do? Not that Pogba is the only missing piece, but I honestly see him as fundamental. He could provide what United lacked all last season; a backbone.

Yeah hopefully we will see them in the second half.

Earning 18 million per year 😒😒 ? How, why Is Man U THAT desperate ? What if he flops ? Because not to jinx him but I have a feeling that he might.


Question. ...if he doesn't perform as expected, will Man U lose in the long run ? Or can they recover some of that money from tshirts sales or other means ?

You signed Kaka the same time as Ronaldo. Where's he playing these days?

There are no guarantees. Pogba has gone on to develop the potential he showed before he left United.

I'm just gobsmacked he's coming back and we've not lost out to Madrid.

Shaw looks a bit heavy, unsurprising I guess given his situation. Always attack-minded and aggressive. Love watching him play.

can you start a real madrid thread and talk to yourself in that instead of trying to troll united fans in their own thread?

Yeah alright that wasn't it?

Bailley's done well so far, other than being nut-megged by Vardy early on he's looked confident.

Considering I don't think he was expected to get in the starting 11 straightaway he hasn't done bad.

Other than the goal, Lingard has been nippy and positive.

You're right kaka and probably because Perez wasn't willing to fork that money haha .

I'm sure he'll do amazing ; he's a great player. I just think that he's slightly overpriced but like you said you have to gamble sometimes

can you start a real madrid thread and talk to yourself in that instead of trying to troll united fans in their own thread?
How is this trolling Just because I'm a RM fan, does it mean that I can't like other clubs as well wtf I would say the exact same thing if it was Real Madrid instead. Does being a fan of a club means that you have to agree with every decision they make
I'm confused. ..isn't this a Man U thread I have talked with other Man U fans who share my sentiments so how am I exactly trolling ?

Yeah was worried about that but everything since has been positive.

Fairly decent half. None of our players rate less than a six IMHO. It's good to see Carrick looking like a boss again, Ibra is putting in a fair shift which surprises me and even dear old Wayne left a Leciester player for dead during the half.

So far so good considering this isn't even our strongest available squad, let alone the long-awaited arrival of the bestest player ever

No way, we're signing Joe Hart?

It's a Man United Supporters Thread. We welcome contributions from fans of other sides, but you should note we're also very aware of when an individual is coming in here for malevolent reasons. You've been in here a lot recently being very negative about this club and its actions. If you're going to continue to do that on a regular basis, you're probably better off posting in one of the many other threads on this forum. It's worth checking the rules of the forum if you're still confused.

He's looking very composed at the back so far.

Several others seem to be playing with more confidence than under LVG - namely Valencia. It's also great to have Shaw back on the left.
