Rooney says he wants to stay at the club next season. Sorry but he is 4 years past useful and needs to leave in July. He is ruining the great things he did for us by hanging on when he is of no use what so ever.

Of course he says that in a press conference before the game.

When Rooney announces he's leaving it will be in a press conference specifically for that announcement. Anything he says today is irrelevant.

10 May 2017 19:02:01
Always Ken he is top manager, nobody is perfect tho.

10 May 2017 20:07:29
Correct. I don't think I have ever read a post from anybody on here that suggests he is.
If we win the europa league imo this season will have been a very good season not withstanding a very disappointing league campaign.
I think this squad could have finished in the top 4. But we are a long way from being title challengers simply because we do t have enough high quality players.
A lot of them have been here for 3 or 4 years and have failed miserably under 3 coaches playing 3 different styles to mount any type of challenge for the league. Every team above us can say they could have nicked wins here or there.
On Jose there is plenty not to like this season in particular his demeanour and really in the last few matches the ITY defensive play. However I am of the belief that if he gets back to the CL. The Top table so to speak where he believes the club and he himself belong I believe we will see a different character it will re-inspire him.
The squad is short on quality he will sign 2 or hopefully 3 top players and 3 or 4 players that he believes are better than what he has. My caveat to that is that the players in our squad are not bad players but they are not what Jose needs either in character or ability to play train and understand and act like he wants.
I don't care who these guys are or how much or how little they cost or what their names are I only care that they can do the job asked of them and that they compliment the players they are bought to play with.
Many players look world class when they are playing in the right team at the right time and all is clicking. There are possibly less than 10 that will come and carry on or even improve no matter where they play. I think we need one of those and for me greizman is one of those 10. If we could compliment that with a top cb and holding midfield player and a couple proven winners 002 mentioned matuidi aurrier matic willian as those sort of player to replace the likes of carrick young Jones Rooney darmian i think mata whom i like was mentioned then imo they would jump ahead of the likes of fellaini smalling rojo as regular starters.

10 May 2017 20:25:25
It will be a very good window with grease-man amd matuidi!

Lindelof added to that and that's a different team right there!

10 May 2017 20:49:28
So it wasn't moyes fault or lvg fault it was the players? We where maybe to hard on the previous managers then

Could of probably should of got top 4 this season even with so many players not really turning up.

Like every other team in the league we will buy players in the summer but the vast majority of the squad and the starting 11 will be the same as this season .
If we push for the title these players that aren't good enough will have to prove a few wrong .
Ddg martial rash herrera miki pogba tony v bailly will be main stays of the first 11 Ibra would of been before his knee, they are all very good players far better than a mid table team .
That said there is no guarantee that they will or that any new signings will come in and do great .

I don't think pogba has been amazing and miki has struggled Imo. Again these are both very good players just like a few of our others .

I don't think any team in the league have much better.
I sincerely hope they show it next season and prove a few wrong.

{Ed004's Note - We have a few very good players in this current team but the balance still isn't right. We need to address both the chemistry out wide in our team and get a consistent spine to the team. We haven't had a proper defensive partnership all season due to injuries. I would only be confident going into next season with De Gea, Valencia and Bailly as regulars, similarly in midfield with Pogba and Herrera and up top nobody has staked a claim to be a regular except maybe Rashford. So I can see why Jose wants a lot of changes this summer. Hopefully, Shaw, Mkhitarian and Martial improve significantly in preseason and the rest of this season and hold down a regular spot}

10 May 2017 20:50:28
Forget to say I think this is the best squad we have had for a while.

10 May 2017 21:19:28
Ken you don't care who we sign as long as we sign someone?
Matic Imo is no better than the wig and you can't stand him .

If Jose needs to be in the cl to be inspired then it's no wonder united have been so flat this season.
I'm not buying that at all .

Have these players really failed miserabley?
5th place and the FA cup last year with out pogba miki bailly and Ibra .

Against what we have done with the same squad as last year plus them 4 .
Surly Jose has better players than lvg had and they both had miles better than the hapless moyes .

Lvg should of done better don't forget he had proven winners like Di Maria and Falcao and so should Jose Imo.
But next season is a new season and fresh start.

10 May 2017 21:25:29
Ed hopefully our players play well including any new signings .
People talk about wingers but Jose knew the players he had and didn't buy one .
We have played with 3 attackers like Barcelona do as apposed to wingers .

We just like every other team won't have 11 players who are all supper stars playing at the top of there game.
And not everyone of our new signings will do well

Every team in Europe will make changes this summer.

{Ed004's Note - Hopefully we develop a clear style of play for next season and Jose can work on the team over the preseason. I think getting a proper preseason in this summer could make a huge difference. I've said all this before but we will will look a lot better once we get a solid partner for Bailly and a left back that plays every week. Ideally next season we will have Valencia/Semedo + Griezmann on one side a new lb/Shaw + Martial/Rashford on the other side. Get a holding midfielder and play Herrera/Mkhitaryan + Pogba together. Really need to get a consistent team so they can learn to play well with each other}

10 May 2017 21:36:39
Do you think jred I don't think martial or Tony v or herrera will be mainstays and I have my doubts about rash starting more than half our games next season.
I'm a huge Herrera supporter but if we play 2 in midfield I have a suspicion he will be 3rd choice and if we play 3 he will be 4th. Which will mean he will get plenty of football just think he won t be 1st choice. I just think Jose will put a bit more muscle in there. Matic matuidi brozivic fabhino all mentioned by 002 yesterday all have a bigger physical presence than Herrera so I think Jose will go that way. He is also not proposing to pay 30m for semedo to warm the bench so Tony might get to play half the games at a push. But it would give a great 2sum to pick from. Martial has huge talent but was poor this season so needs to hit the ground running.
Jose teams have tradionally been great front runners so a hot start next season is a must. That would also help his demeanour no end I think.
I tend to agree with you ed004 we have a few very good players but far too much mediocrity and not enogh inbetween plus a couple of near freeloaders that don't contribute anywhere near enough.

10 May 2017 21:53:34
Ken
We will see next season Ken.
I'm always reading who is isn't a Jose player .
It always seems to be the players the poster does or doesn't like .

Jose seems to like fellaini people seem to forget when they talk about our midfield, I think because they don't rate him themselves .
Ed said carrick could get a new contract if we don't sign a cm, cm didn't sound that big an issue.

10 May 2017 21:59:01
I don't think rash is a Jose type striker but he is young playing very well English and from come through the club there will be pressure to play
Jose has mentioned on several times his attitude is fantastic he seems to like him .
Obviously you disagree but I can't be bothered going on about it or the rest.
We will see next season all we can do is get behind the manager and players .
Even if we don't rate any of them .
I'm counting on a good few proving u wrong.

10 May 2017 22:21:23
Once again not reading p r o p e r l y .
I rate rash highly but think he is not going to play every game next season be great if he started 30 which I hope will be about half the games. If we sign a c. f. he will play less there and fight and prob win the fight with martial for the left spot.

10 May 2017 22:26:32
I said I like Herrera but fear that Jose does not. fellaini Jose played a lot this season but if we strengthen he won't play as much I would think. The only thing that fellaini proved me wrong in was that he played more than I thought he would so kudos to him for displaying a really good attitude, he certainly didn't play any better than I thought he would and he will be delighted too its his 2nd highest league finish ever.

{Ed004's Note - This depends on who is signed but I'd be happy with us going into next season with Herrera and Mkhitaryan competing against each other for the 3rd spot in midfield alongside Pogba and a new DM. Herrera would probably play when we need to defend more often however Mkhitaryan would play vs teams we will be attacking a lot. Periera and Fellaini as cover}

10 May 2017 23:10:45
Ken
you said the wig would be sold in the summer and then sold in Jan
You really have an issue with being wrong, is that what all the comments about this season being a bigger achievement than winning the league by 11 points and u working for boca juniors about?
It's just excuse after excuse
I'm cracking up, your comments / arguments today have been great .
Again judging a player by where he has finished in the league or by what he has won 😂
This seems to be your latest fad to prove a silly point .

We had a cf this season that played every single minute if fit .
Rash played plenty.
He has played a couple of games on the left many on the rw

We will see next season I hope a few prove you wrong again, in the mean time I'm going to leave it at that it's like talking to a kid .
Night peace out.

10 May 2017 23:10:57
Yes ed that would make sense. I'm a big Herrera fan but I just have a niggling feeling that Jose would rather a more physical presence and that Herrera would play the SUPPORTING role to whomever his preferred 2 or 3 are in midfield.
If greizman were to sign I would suggest that a 4231 accommodates him best as the SUPPORTING striker but he can also operate high or wide. So pogba and one other with Herrera and fellaini as back up. My hope is fabhino but it's probably 50/ 50 matuidi and matic also mentioned and the Croatian chap at inter by 002 so if any of those sign along with greizman then Herrera may suffer a bit.
I'm going tomorrow night. I'm really looking forward to it. The summer would be so much better with this trophy in the cabinet. Let's hope wet make the final.

{Ed004's Note - We really need to win the Europa so hopefully you have a good night tomorrow night. I think Herrera is a player that is liked and trusted by Mourinho. He's gotten motm a couple of times now vs top 6 opposition and really puts a shift in. Hopefully whatever DM is signed will offer the physical presence Jose needs but currently Herrera and Pogba don't exactly get bullied in midfield. If Griezmann is signed I think he is being signed for the right side spot. All season we have given freedom to whoever plays on the right. Mata, Lingard and Mhitaryan all drift in and roam all game with Valencia providing the width (Links to Semedo who is very attacking supports this theory as well). Griezmann is quicker and far more clinical than all those mentioned and puts in a massive shift defensively. When we play a midfield 3 Herrera drifts wide throughout the game as well and Mkhitaryan could do that easily enough as well so there would always be width}

10 May 2017 23:43:13
Samedo would be key to that plan. So much depends on a positive end to the season. I hope those on the way out go out on a high and those staying embrace the challenge.
