Matic will be the signing of the summer across all clubs. He's transformed the team and already it's clear how much Pogba and Miki are benefitting from it

Agreed. He's been excellent. Martial has looked very good when he's come on too.

Matic is too old to be any good though.

Matic only 29 and only now coming into his prime for his position (defensive mod).

Pogba has looked worth every penny this season, simply outstanding.

Lukaku a beast and will score plenty.

Martial looking like a completely different player.

Rashford improving rapidly.

How soon until Betfred pay out on Utd?

Trust me. He's too old.

That's what all the ABU footballing pundit gods were saying when we signed him.

Mike, you sound like a bit of a loser coming in here chatting ste after we comfortably beat Swansea. What's the deal there? It's a bit weird/sad.

Was a great win and was refreshing to not be talking about how DDG played amazing or shouting off how we conceded again! Long may this continue.

Really?... It took the best part of 80 minutes and some favourable ref decisions (quelle surprise) to see off a Swans side that looked like ste last season when they still had their best player in Sigurdsson.

really? 2 games, 8-0, top of the league

not sure what sort of denial phase you are in but so far so ominous (LFC fan)

Thanks for providing some top class posting Mike74. You've even surpassed BCM!!!

Nothing wrong with coming on here and having a laugh at the giddy plastics all getting over excited at utd being above 5th place after a whole 2 games.

Can't believe we lost to Chelsiki.

I think you were the better side.

But that's what parking the bus does to you, it's the easy way out.

Is this some kind of parallel universe? Alpine, come back from the dark side, you'll be spouting off about net-spending and nearly putting pressure on next!
Good weekend of football really.
Hope Delly Ally is ok after the way he hit the deck all the way through that Chelsea match and he must be bruised all over after that brutal assault for the free kick when Chelsea scored the goal for them...

Sorry, I keep getting confused as to whether this is a Spud or United thread.

None of them (or any ABUs, bar one weirdo obsessive) here, strangely. Long may that continue.

Having watched our game yesterday, and the one at Wembley today, soo relieved we got Matic over Dier. Totally different class.

No, no, no, no. Matic is too old and will have zero residual value when his contract ends. It's about balance sheets and not trophies.

[gadgetmac]

Distinct lack of Spuds in here at the moment. Has something happened?

[jammy-git]

Too busy counting the clubs bank balance.

Leicester next. What do we think does Jose keep the same starting line up or does he change things up a little? A part of me says keep it the same but another part says start Martial! When you're hot you're hot!!

[anonymous-user]

Talk of Zlatan coming back, he certainly looks ahead of schedule

Martial in for Mata. I'd love to see Rashford and Martial either side of Lukaku. Mkhitaryan Just behind. He's more mobile than Mata on current form

Exactly my thoughts. Rashford, Lukaku and Martial with miki and Pogba just behind with Herrera and Matic holding the fort. Perfect!

I think Mou has it spot on. Martial is a better sub than he is a starter. He's dynamite when defenders are tired and/or the game is stretched. When he starts, he often loses the ball too often and gets frustrated.
