Manchester United @ManUtd 11m11 minutes ago United: De Gea, Varela, Smalling, Blind, Rojo, Carrick, Fellaini, Lingard, Mata, Martial, Rashford #mufc
Nice to see Valencia get back on the field. He's not a viable solution at fullback but I've just always liked him. The guy hustles his ass off.
We are now 4-5-8 this season when Fellaini starts. 2 of those wins were against Derby County and Sheffield United.
Is he sacked yet? Or does that come after an FA Cup loss on Tuesday which would all but eliminate any chances of winning a trophy this year?
Spanish media outlet El Pais reporting that Jose Mourinho has entered into a pre-contract agreement with United. United must pay Mourinho $5m if not signed by 5/1/16, $10m more if not signed by 6/1/16. I'm no fan of the guy, but he produces results and that's not something we've gotten under LVG.
Multiple outlets have been reporting a pre-contract with Mourinho for months now. I'll believe it when/if he's actually hired. I'm not even convinced that they have made a decision on LvG's future yet.
2 really considering gd, but yeah. Well done today. City seem to be a sinking ship, I think it may come down to you and West Ham.
If you had an extra point right now you wouldn't be in 4th is all I was trying to convey, not trying to rain on your parade after a big derby win. Carry on lads.
More fuck you Fellaini stats. Manchester United @ManUtdUpdates_ 2m2 minutes ago Manchester United's win percentage (57%) with Morgan Schneiderlin starting (28% without). [Opta] #MUFC
Mourinho is a bad move. Will totally stunt the youth movement and force a huge roster turnover with no long-term viability.
Agreed on Mourinho. Let Giggs continue his learning process under Tim Sherwood for a few years. He will definitely give the youth a chance, just ask him.
No matter what LVG won't be gone before the end of the season which is 5/15, seems like the dates on that agreement would mean Mourinho would automatically get $5 million no? Or would this be like the Guardiola agreement and a contract can be signed anytime?
I've read that Jose would not sign while LVG was still the manager out of respect for him, so it appears that United are ok with giving him $5m to sit tight until the season is over providing the report is true. I hope if Jose does come here that it happens as soon as possible. The transfer window opens 7/1 like every year but with Euro 2016 there's going to be negotiations done much earlier than normal. This organization cannot afford to be behind its rivals - both at home and abroad - for too long.
So Schweini partially tore his MCL in training with Germany and is done for the year. Because why wouldn't that happen immediately after one of the biggest wins of the season.
Our best pairing is herrera and schneiderlin. A rare pairing, but i liked what i saw. Wish lvg would let it happen. Carrick's career at united should be over after this season. Still a good passer but too slow.
Shaw might actually get some PT before the season is over. Manchester United @ManUtdUpdates_ 15m15 minutes ago Luke Shaw will start first-team training at Manchester United next week. [Telegraph] #MUFC
