Really hope we don't turn you guys over at the weekend. JM is the best thing to happen to all the teams around you. The longer he stays the better.

Mourinho doesn't have the backing from above and the club as a whole is a shambles, with Ed leading the way. Football is becoming a side part to the MUFC empire sadly and we're turning into a business with a football team attached.

Thing have to change on that side before the football will change imo.

Agreed. But ultimately it’s built on football. st football and results equals less sponsorship. The momentum is towards a less attractive football club, so there’s a commercial imperative to do something.

Point is,he's not good enough for Newcastle and he is getting a new contract at Man U.

Are you just aiming for mediocrity?

No issue with Smalling signing. Good honest pro, and provides good cover. As it's been said shouldn't be starting and we do need upgrades.

I’d have no issue with Smalling resigning either. Probably best to wait until we’ve got a replacement though.

Well didn't Jose say something along the lines of that getting existing players onto longer contracts was as good as new signings? I'm sure he did, when he was talking about the opposition all getting stronger in the summer & then remembered Poch hadn't signed anyone. Ed was obviously listening and this is his January defensive reinforcement for Jose.

They are young blokes enjoying their time outside of training and matches. Piss about like this during the match when we’re underperforming or during a work period of training and yes, someone needs to issue a bking.

Manchester United starting XI: De Gea; Dalot, Smalling, Lindelof, Darmian; Herrera, Matic; Young, Lingard, Rashford; Lukaku.

Subs: Romero, Bailly, Pogba, Mata, Martial, Valencia, Fellaini.

Good to see Dalot getting another start, but, Darmian at left back !!!

Andy Gray on Bein is going mental about this and Pogba in general. He’s called you exactly right. Slow, pedestrian, passionless uninteresting.

He reckons one or both will be gone by next season. I reckon both are history.

Smalling injured before the games even started rolleyes.. Bailly replaces him. Probably a sprained wrist from signing that contract.

What's it got to do with Andy Gray? The guy is an idiot.

FFS what are they supposed to do? Sit around sad all the time? They are young lads having a laugh after training.

Just saying that that’s what he’s saying. His other comments about the style of play aren’t exactly wrong are they?
