    Well they arent performing well...but are winning. lol Iis hard to knock 6 points. The Man United players need time to find their roles, one thing Man U and Liverpool are both lacking is a consistent 11 and match winners.

    Why do people let Mourinho rile them up?

    He says outlandish things to......

    ......rile people up.

    He is trolling you guys.

    I dont like him but I find him very very entertaining!

    Thought you could call Kolarov a regular, he started many games or played through many.

    He definitely plays more, but usually is out in favor of Clichy.

    United up 2-1 to Club Brugge at half.

    Depay with 2 against a Carrick own goal.

    Woot Woot!

    I know it's only the UCL qualification and I know it's only CLub Brugge but Depay looked great out there. Two brilliant goals and an assist to Fellas

    Rooney looks sluggish and fat in the first 3 games of the season

    United add a third with a header from Fellaini off of a Memphis cross right as the ref was ready to blow the whistle.

    They go to Belgium for the second leg with a 3-1 lead.

    United wasting their time trying to buy Muller? They couldn't possibly believe that Bayern would ever sell him. Now rumors are starting that Chelsea is getting ready to hijack their Pedro move while they twiddle their thumbs at something that will never happen.

    ...and he missed another one that should have been a goal. Good player, though.

    Great win today by United. Dominated and wore out Brugge as expected. Their lone goal was very very lucky. Memphis and Mike Smalling were the two stand out players for me in this game. Schweinsteiger dictated the second half and was absolutely brilliant. He's really pushing for a starting XI spot with Morgan now. Carrick is nowhere near close to the class Schweinsteiger is despite what my British colleagues tell me. I know we are three games into the season but Rooney has been misfiring on all cylinders. He's taking heavy touches, misplacing passes, and just doing a whole lot of wrongs right now. I think Chicharito has outplayed him in the 20 minute cameo today. IMO, we need to buy a forward this window if we are going to compete this year.

    Müller is not coming here, we can rule that out right away. Pedro, last I heard, has agreed personal terms (Sky Sports). Problem is, I don't know how reliable they are anymore. As for forwards, I'm fine with Berahino but my ideal player to bring are Lacazette. We will see what happens, and I hope Rooney snaps out of it soon.

    ManU made an official offer for Müller last week, €85mil . Bayern rejected the offer and Rummenigge said that van Gaal is very stubborn in his advances, but they won't sell Müller.

    Arsenal offered 71mil for Lewandowski, Bayern also rejected.


    Great to see how financially stable we are, can keep all our players the team intact as long as we want.

    Depay looked great out there yesterday, stunning two goals. Hopefully he'll be able to show it against the bigger clubs in the PL. His assist was great as well, fantastic ball in.

    Did anyone watch Paul Scholes? Oh man, he is terrible. Always hunched over, almost looking at the floor, and is incredibly boring. Don't think his media career will last!

    van Gaal needs someone else up front to support Rooney. Wayne looks out of sorts and Hernandez shouldn't be his only challenger. Can't believe he hasn't bought anyone to replace RVP and Falcao (well I guess Hernandez counts).

    Twitter ITKs reporting that Benzema is a done deal now. No idea if it's true but always interesting to follow the rumours. :grin: Also reading that RM is interested in Lewandowski? Any chance he goes? I seem to remember reading that he doesn't get along with Pep.

    We will see if can be consistent in the PL and I will take him as a fantasy player later on

    Pedro to Chelsea. Wow, I thought we had him wrapped up. Meh.

    Any chance Kevin De Bruyne makes his way to the red side of Manchester?

    Damn we lost Pedro.

    Muller is a pipe dream

    Need to make a push for DeBruyne and Otamendi and retain De Gea.

    Think he'll move to City this or beginning of next week, at least that's what all the comments from Wolfsburg coach and management indicate.

    Otamendi is already at City for a medical, will sign today or tomorrow.

    ^^ Also makes no sense.. "supposedly" he's leaving us because he wants to start, highly doubt he'll start at Chelsea.
