Yeah Mata for me. Power and pace is where Jose is going, sadly that means Mata makes way. Tidy footballer but ultimately lightweight and not influential in enough games creatively.
Martial, Sánchez and Lukaku as a front 3. Wow...
By the way not seen any real credit on here for the big man’s delivery to Tony M for the opening game. Have to say Lukaku’s right on top of his Assist game.
Been meaning to mention that assist, fair point. He's clearly been working on his all round play. He's improving all round. Martial, Sánchez and Lukaku as a front 3. Wow...

Sanchez will bring the maturity to decision making in the final third that perhaps martial and Rashford lack. Jesse can only learn.
What's really exciting me Is Pogba and Sanchez linking up. s

Well to be fair it couldn’t get worse than it has been the last few months. It’s about time he started getting it under and using his strength to hold it up while the runners arrive. He’s got to offer an outlet when we’re under pressure. ETA Sounds a bit negative I suppose but he really frustrates at times.
Not sure which aspect of today makes me happier - gaining Sanchez or dumping that waste of a shirt Miki

It’s been a great weekend of football
We played st, totally embarrassed ourselves and only had two shots on target in whole match. Worst of all we collected 3 points from the match
Spurs played amazing free flowing, free scoring football in their fantastic 0-0 draw with Southampton and had an amazing, unrivalled two shots on target in the match.
Liverpool took on the team at the bottom of the PL and obviously won the match 10-0 having destroyed the league leaders last weekend. You need to ignore the fact they didn’t actually score, only had 4 shots on target and conceded a goal. There is a poster on their thread unhappy as its back to City needing to lose 6 games now for them to win the league.
We also signed the new Cantona

You really should learn to know a silly comment when one is made. There would be no way we'd win all the games needed until the end of the season, even if City did slip up for 6 games.NRS said:

You wrote it and your post didn’t have a silly emoji, it had a sensible one at the end. Either way my post is clearly tongue in cheek right the way through. Don’t sweat it, every team has a couple of these matches in a season. We lost to Huddersfield!
Sorry, I use quite a lot of sarcasm/dry/stupid humour so it doesn't always come across. Thought I should point it out before it ends up like the fun you and the Spurs fans seem to have - no idea how that got to that situation!Nothing "wrong" with the result - they did what they needed to, so well done to them. Disappointing for us. I'm just taking the positives out of the game today - 4 shots on target, whereas you and Tottenham only had 2, so it could have been worse...
WINNING GAMES IS WHAT MATTERS PEOPLE...!!Had to smile earlier when I saw that Sánchez had spoken about playing in the red shirt of United. It was only a couple of days ago that I reminded BCM to not underestimate the lure of the red shirt with the devil on it. Sometimes I really enjoy being right.
Anybody else feel that Sánchez motivation to join United over City wasn’t necessarily about money? NRS said:

The Spuds thing is down to us all just being sick to the back teeth of them tbh. Nothing "wrong" with the result - they did what they needed to, so well done to them. Disappointing for us.

Those four shots meant you got four points less than the other two teams you mention

I just hope Mourinho unleashes the attacking force that we've got now as it would scare most teams.
I think all of us neutrals would wish that. Never did like a procession of any team to the title, such as we appear to have had this season. Much rather there were 2, 3 or 4 teams gunning for the top. Gavia said:
Me. It’s 100% about wanting to play every match. The idea that he should’ve gone to City for a medal is a farce. You only win a title if you’re there for the season, not joining when it’s all over bar a little bit of maths. If Sánchez gives us that extra something that brings back the absolute fear factor then he’s definitely in the right team. We’re defintiely on the way back. I just hope Mourinho unleashes the attacking force that we've got now as it would scare most teams.
Don’t you just have to play in 10 games? I made the point that it would be quite shameless to accept a medal if he’d only featured in a few matches. I believe United was his preferred destination all along. None of my City supporting mates support that view of course. Gassing Station | Football | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
