The Official Manchester United Thread [Vol 6]

What a birthday present for Matic! Getting to sign for the best club in the world and a team he was desperate to play in.

Real show of intent from Jose. Now on to Perisic...

Come on Ed, you can this, we here on planet PH believe in you!

Matic is a solid B/B+ player who wouldn't look out of place in any squad.

And the money is what it is - who really gives a fk.

Yep well put. Exactly what's needed for united. Ideal foil for Pogba. Plus at 6ft 4in he's another big lad in the squad.

His left foot isn't bad either.

Pogba will be loving this signing!

Exactly, soooo I reckon the first team is now:
De Gea
Shaw
Baillie
Lindellhoff
Valencia
Matic
Herrera
Pogba
Martial
Lukaku
Rashford

Is that about right??????????????????????

You willing to put money on it?

Can go for that if you want. It will be a tricky season for all the top clubs - long cup runs/ European run will likely be bad for league form over the season, plus obviously important/ lots of injuries. So could be anyone's. However I do still think you could easily end up with a squad of decent players but not quite working as a team again.

So willing to do a small £10 bet if you want on spuds finishing above you again. Although it will be annoying if I win as they'll be telling us about having a team of the world's best players that only cost them 50p to buy,

How about £50 and winnings go to charity?

Probably Mikhi on the right?

I think he'd go 4231 against the lesser teams, Pogba and Herrera/Matic with Mikhi/Mata as a 10

That's the right deal. I've taken one on at 2-1 on United finishing above Spurs and evens on Harry Kane beating Lukaku to to the golden boot. Minimum stake has to be £50 to make it worthwhile to the winner's charity.

Is the Harry Kane bet with me ? if it is that's fine i just couldn't recall with whom i had the bet with .

Golden boot ? So that's premier league games only .

Please feel free to abstain from the wager as you must have obviously been on the sauce at the time. You have until next weekend to pull out.

Theres no shame in bottling it sir.

There's only one bottler here. The one who won't put a bet on his own team, despite all the bravado and bks. Sir.

As much as you're panicking over your £50 I won't be withdrawing from any bets. It's PL and CL matches, just as you wanted. Stop trying to find loopholes.

[Black can man]

Yea I thought it was CL & Premier league games too , not sure why you are waffling on about the golden boot that's all because We all know that belongs to our Harry .
The bet is a good'n & im just making sure we have The details correct .

I'm sure all the lifeboatmen from John O'Groats to Penzance will be thankful for that £50 from next may.

I thought I had previously written it was for charity but see I hadn't done that. Had just suggested £10 since I'm not a spuds or united fan so in a way couldn't care too much, but can go for £50 since it will be a good cause,

I'd be amazed if they all stay, I reckon Young and one of Jones Smalling to go. We know Carrick can't play all the games, think Juan will be ok. Lingard needs to step up this season.

We may see some 3-5-2 so I think Rojo and a.n other are safe, telling that you forgot Blind...

I'll do you a nice discount if you pay up front

A.N. Other? Where did we buy him from, is he older than 27 and was it more than £50m?? No matter, he can't be worse than Shaw was last season.
(Actually do hope he bucks up really cos he was going great guns until the injury)
