Hi Ed002

Any substance to Mourinho being interested in returning to United?

ussoldier77

{Ed002's Note - I would doubt that he would be interested in a return and is certainly not on the list of preferred option.}


1.) 01 Feb 2024 13:53:50
Pure comedy if he did come back! I love Jose, but never going to happen and he and the club are so not right for each other.


2.) 01 Feb 2024 14:26:18
It's a moot point really though isn't it. He's not interested, and it would be highly surprising if we were.


3.) 01 Feb 2024 20:50:09
I think he’s done tbh. He hasn’t evolved like Pep or Ancelotti. Only place I can see for him is Saudi.


4.) 02 Feb 2024 00:43:20
I always thought Mourinho would be a great international manager.

With less contact time his intensity would be less grinding on the players.

While his pragmatic style of play, and his tendency to get the best out of his sides in knockout competitions I just think is ideally suited to international football.


5.) 02 Feb 2024 07:55:27
Totally agree Shappy. Although I don’t think he’s quite ready to give up the day to day just yet.


6.) 02 Feb 2024 12:44:35
Of all the managers we’ve had since SAF, Jose was by far the most disappointing. He was probably the most successful when it comes to silverware and results, but his inability to adapt his footballing philosophy to better align with that of the club was a huge letdown. I still really like him as a person and have a lot of respect for what he was able to achieve in the first half of his career, but his archaic style of football suits neither our club nor the modern game.


7.) 02 Feb 2024 16:00:49
Ed, who is on the list of preferred?

{Ed002's Note - I don't see it as worth going in to at this time.}


 

 

04 Aug 2023 14:46:33
Hi Ed002,

I hope you are well. Do you think that United will have a go at Kane should they reject Bayern's latest bid? Or has that ship now sailed with the purchase of Hojland?

Thanks for everything, as always.

ussoldier77

{Ed002's Note - No they won't.}


1.) 04 Aug 2023 19:34:48
With what money?


2.) 04 Aug 2023 19:52:13
Leave him at Spurs this season and then if Hojlund is struggling offer him the moon for a couple of years.


3.) 05 Aug 2023 00:13:45
United habe bought Hojlund to be the main man. Kane isn't happening now. Move on.


4.) 05 Aug 2023 12:15:47
If we do bring in a second striker, which I find unlikely unless sales go a lot better than expected, it won't be Kane.

Someone good but affordable might be possible though. Ollie Watkins has been mentioned on here before, and while I have no clue what he'd likely cost, I imagine someone at that level is more likely than Kane.

Even then, only if sales go unexpectedly well.


5.) 05 Aug 2023 13:38:25
We have bought plenty of players to be the main man and it hasn't worked out. To close off your options and say move on is a bit short sighted.

Preseason has shown again how poor we are up front, struggling to break down organised teams and convert chances (ignoring the Mount miss today) . Wolves will be a tough game next week.


6.) 05 Aug 2023 15:18:43
Wolves will be a tough game? Not seeing it to be honest, Wolves are in a mess off the back of an awful season.


7.) 05 Aug 2023 19:35:16
If there was a team to face in the first game it would be Wolves. No additions since last year, lost some key players, rumours manager has had enough and wanting to walk out.


8.) 06 Aug 2023 18:38:00
I agree we should be beating Wolves, but games against them are usually low-scoring, really tight affairs, even when they've been struggling. Sort of team we've been struggling to break down last season. It'll be a good game to show the level of improvement we're expecting, because it really should be a 2 or 3-0 win at least.


 

 

08 May 2023 19:56:44
Ed002,

Who is top of the list for the CF position that United are looking at? I know they will have a list of many, but who is their preferred option?

ussoldier77

{Ed002's Note - Kane if available.}


1.) 08 May 2023 22:25:04
I've heard that they're looking at Weghorst's brother Gout.

He's just as bad, but he has one particularly large toe that helps him to reach better. He's frequently caught offside, but with Wout, Gout could twist'n'shout with no doubt about the stout they'll drink when out after the win.

Gout is yer man.


2.) 09 May 2023 03:24:06
That post could only appeal to a mentally scarred man utd fan. And as such, it did actually make me smirk. Please let this season end soon.


3.) 09 May 2023 03:54:19
Thank you Ed002.


4.) 09 May 2023 10:13:20
Kane wants to win the europa conference league so we can count him out lol.


 

 

11 Aug 2022 19:40:40
Hi Ed, any truth to the story that PSG are after Rashford? If so, is there truth that he is open to moving?

ussoldier77

{Ed002's Note - Marcus Rashford (F) has an uncertain future at Manchester United although there has been no final decision. PSG have previously enquired although their interest has drifted away they now have a pressing need again and could look to an offer. He may provide an option for Arsenal who could shift their interest to him. Newcastle and Spurs may well provide options. Right now he would be difficult to sell and perhaps a loan away would benefit him. The club is certainly considering options.}


1.) 11 Aug 2022 19:59:11
Appreciate your time Ed002.


2.) 11 Aug 2022 20:00:51
I would be super happy to see the back of Rashford.
Rashford of the past year has terrible in terms of everything.
The French league will suit as playing is easier there.
Don't think we will miss him.


3.) 11 Aug 2022 20:15:06
If there is a cohesive plan on this one then this could turn out best for all concerned. Rashford is a shadow of the player he was and although I would love for him to get back there it is not looking great, he also is not a great fit under EtH.
If we are able to reinvest and get a Gapko or back in for Anthony then this really could work.
I have a feeling we may see a few more rumours like this before the end of the money. AWB, Lindelof and maybe even Van De Beek if he feels it is not going to work.


4.) 11 Aug 2022 20:27:21
It would need us to make serious investments in the front three before sanctioning a move. We cat possibly go through the season with just Ronaldo, Martial, Sancho, Elanga and Garnacho.


5.) 11 Aug 2022 20:38:21
Just wants a new contract.


6.) 11 Aug 2022 20:49:30
This was my first thought FZZ. If a bid materialises I’ll eat my hat.


7.) 11 Aug 2022 20:51:32
If he goes……. we are way light on attacking options.


8.) 11 Aug 2022 21:07:28
I can't see it happening. As poor as he's been it will cost the best part of 100 million to get a replacement in, even then the player probably won't want to come.


9.) 11 Aug 2022 21:12:42
Would be a great move for him, fresh start and out of the spotlight relatively.


10.) 11 Aug 2022 21:17:09
I don't think they would sell him without having a wink and nod with another attacking option; i. e. Gakpo.

I have a gut feeling that 3 more will come in:

Attacker - Gakpo
Midfielders x2 - SMS, FDJ, Rabiot (two of the three)

I just cannot believe that the weakness in the team for ages (MF) will not be addressed this window.


11.) 11 Aug 2022 21:19:51
Sell him while we still can get anything for him.

If you let any other youngster play, they won't do any worse than him.

Good news if the transfer happens.


12.) 12 Aug 2022 07:37:32
My gut feeling says this is Rashford's way of getting a fat contract. And most likely we will give it to him like what's happened before.
The club is a total mess.

{Ed014's Note - I get the impression he just wants to leave.


13.) 12 Aug 2022 08:05:57
Then it's even worse, we will try to keep him against the will and pay him even more stupid wages.
Isn't he the second most followed social media person after Ronaldo? That's worth something :P.


14.) 12 Aug 2022 09:00:50
Dwight yorke is a very good friend of mine and reckons he is our best player. The drop in his form is baffling. 2 years ago looked like he woukd be an elite player as good as any out there. Yorkue btw got his first managerial job down under.


15.) 12 Aug 2022 09:30:46
I agree Nothing Changes, 2 years back he bailed us out every other game. Then Ole decided to break the guy playing through injury. And Rashford kept going too.
Got a nasty injury and can't really tell if he is not as fit aa he was before or he's no longer interested in playing here.


16.) 12 Aug 2022 11:44:11
It's awful seeing what has happened to him, he is a shadow of the player he was.


17.) 12 Aug 2022 18:02:31
Very happy to see Rashford go. We all love him for the extraordinary person he is but he has done nothing in a United shirt for 2 seasons now. Injuries and surgery I appreciate within that but does anyone really think the 19yo Rashford we were all so excited about has fulfilled anywhere near his potential now that he's at the 'completed' age of 24?

The fact his agent has been talking to PSG smacks of either pure wanting to get out or a bargaining chip to strike a better deal. Bottom line he is simply not worth his current deal. If we had any balls as a club we would be offering him a lower contract to stay or preferably just outright saying I'm sorry Marcus but you are just not good enough.


18.) 13 Aug 2022 00:59:34
If it's all about getti g a new fat contract. **** him!
Base contract of 100k a week with performance bonuses to take him up to 200k a week max.
All players should be on a lower basic contract with bonuses.
That's what's wrong with this club for years. players coming here only for money and couldn't give a **** then when they're here.
Should be an incentive for players to get the graft in and get paid more.
Bunch of overpaid, underperforming premadonnas.


19.) 13 Aug 2022 18:33:07
Marcus Rashford

The most overrated player ever to play for Man Utd and England

I would gladly drive him anywhere he wanted to go.


 

 

09 Jun 2022 12:08:10
Good day Ed002!

As always I know we are all appreciative of your insight and generous knowledge you bestow upon the boards! I was wondering if Sharkapod is something you still may look to do?

Cheers!

Honest question, do you all believe that United should appeal the Case red card?

While in SLOW MOTION it does look a red, however there is context in it at full speed, the spin on the pass etc. Couple in the fact that the consistency between games (Che v Lei where Felix was fouled much worse) it shocking. Andre Mariner did NOT feel the need to send of the Lei player, however said that Case should go from the VAR booth?

It is tough because if you just appeal based on the challenge, you probably lose the appeal. However, factor in the stuff stated above, and maybe one has a case?

I would be interested in hearing other's thoughts.

ussoldier77

1.) 13 Mar 2023 17:57:31
Forget it and move on.


2.) 13 Mar 2023 18:18:01
He dived in and left the ground with his studs up. That decision never get overturned in a million years. Move on and find a win to win without him.


3.) 13 Mar 2023 19:13:05
We do need to move on…. BUT (haha)

I’m not even sure it’s a foul!
He got the ball and hurt the man after
Just like that lad who got the ball but chopped down garnacho with a scissor challenge, which wasn’t given as a foul and rightly so because he got the ball first.

Mariner in the VAR, who was it who sent off cas against palace? oh yeah that’s right, mariner again, on the pitch that time
Funny how he set up the clip for taylor on a freeze frame AFTER cas had already won the challenge, giving a one sided view of the incident

All refs are crap, but he’s next level
He also was VAR for Chelsea v Leicester and he didn’t say anything about the shocking challenge from pereira after like 5 minutes

But we need to move on ?.


4.) 13 Mar 2023 19:22:05
It's a foul, he's unlucky as his foot spun and slid over the top of the ball, but if you go in off the ground studs up then you risk that happening.

Never in a million years will that be overturned and you just risk antagonising the FA by appealing that.

Draw a line under it and move on.


5.) 13 Mar 2023 20:11:47
I am with Shappy. They are not going to overturn a VAR decision, it would just create chaos, they are more likely to add games. Move on.


6.) 13 Mar 2023 23:42:21
It was a crap decision and one that went against us. There’ll be one that goes for us in next few weeks too though.


7.) 14 Mar 2023 09:10:13
Honest answer; NO.


8.) 14 Mar 2023 09:43:58
I've seen Casemiro tackle a few times like that this season.
I think it's the fact that his boot slides over the ball after making contact with it. It then catches the leg of the opponent.
You could that there was no maliciousness in the tackle whatsoever.


 

 

30 Jul 2019 13:30:25
I know Patty Evra has a little bit of crazy in him of late, however reading his interview with Sky really warmed me. The love and passion he has for United is so apparent in everything he does.

ussoldier77

1.) 30 Jul 2019 13:38:02
Yeah, he is United through and through.


2.) 30 Jul 2019 13:52:18
You know what great about him. he watched DVDs of our history to learn and know the culture of the club.


3.) 30 Jul 2019 14:54:01
He was raised properly and bought into the club as much as any other player. I’m sure he won’t be short of media offers given his personality and love of football.


4.) 30 Jul 2019 16:14:44
I'm he'll get some top offers. No poultry fees for uncle Pat.


5.) 30 Jul 2019 16:29:27
His comment he calls his wife Roy Keane when she’s angry made laugh.


6.) 30 Jul 2019 17:07:08
You've seen the video mort 😂. Such a crazy guy.


7.) 30 Jul 2019 21:53:40
How about the Ed Woodward bit where he says he’s the director of football?


 

 

05 Jul 2019 17:55:13
Well, looks like Raiola has come out and said Pogba wants to go. At this point United really should not stand in his way. Tell RM and Juve that the highest bidder wins.

One thing is for certain, Pogba should leave on United's terms, not anyone else.

ussoldier77

1.) 05 Jul 2019 18:25:17
Well this day and age the player has the power unfortunately. regardless what United want pogba will go


I just hope we get a good deal and move on. and hopefully learnt a lesson. shame really because pogba has all the attributes but lacks the desire and work ethic.


2.) 05 Jul 2019 18:37:43
I agree.


3.) 05 Jul 2019 21:21:57
Ed 02 another name being banded around in some of the red tops is Erikson at Spurs. Any truth?

{Ed002's Note - As a Fernandes replacement perhaps?}


4.) 05 Jul 2019 23:48:26
For me I’d sign either kroos erikson or milinkovic savic.


5.) 06 Jul 2019 03:35:44
Is there going to be a “highest bidder” this summer for pogba?

Can not see juve or madrid paying the amount for pogba that united want.

They are probably going to have to compromise on the fee or accept some sort of exchange deal for players the club are not particularly interested in.


 

 

26 Mar 2019 17:35:33
ED002,

I know the subject of money is not your favorite thing to talk about, however I have a quick question. Should United pay off Sanchez to move him on, does that pay off still factor into the wages in regard to FFP?

Basically, though not paying him weekly anymore, United would still be in essence "paying his wages" by fulfilling his monetary terms of his contract.

Thanks as always.

ussoldier77

{Ed002's Note - If the club continue to pay his wages after he left it would count toward FFP.}


1.) 26 Mar 2019 21:50:44
This maybe stupid, but if Sanchez has 3 years left which adds up to say 50 million wages (random numbers here) could we not just sell him for that amount and use the money to pay him off?


2.) 26 Mar 2019 22:27:40
Who’s going to pay £50m for a 30 year old player who hasn’t been in any form for the last 18months.


3.) 27 Mar 2019 07:47:02
Man United!


4.) 27 Mar 2019 09:49:24
China would, I am not saying he will earn 50 million just used a random number.


5.) 27 Mar 2019 10:44:41
He prefers living in Wilmslow!


6.) 27 Mar 2019 12:41:07
Are even the Chinese that daft?


7.) 27 Mar 2019 14:17:55
They bought fellaini so there is hope mort.


8.) 27 Mar 2019 14:56:02
Maybe but Fellaini did at least have his uses and did chip in with an end product. What's the Chilean Elton John achieved?


 

 

07 Mar 2019 17:41:33
One thing I really love about Ole is just how ready his is to defend the badge at all costs.

When asked by a reporter yesterday if this was "old school United" the cutting of his eyes was apparent. He responded with "No! This is Man It'd, not old school . we always do this, it's what Manchester United does".

Made me have goosebumps.

ussoldier77

1.) 07 Mar 2019 17:55:27
Hes so positive and breath of fresh air. Would love for him to get the job.


2.) 07 Mar 2019 18:14:13
That is a great quote to dwell upon. Ole makes a real effort to get his players to believe in what playing for Manchester United is all about. Not back then, not now. But if you play for this club, this is what it stands for, this is our mentality.


3.) 07 Mar 2019 18:56:24
We are Manchester United, Ole gets that and is part of the fabric of the club. That on its own does not make him qualified to be the Manager (there are plenty of others) but he hasn’t put a foot wrong. Every comment he makes just reinforces he is part of this club and ‘gets it’. With every passing week my estimation of him rises even further.

He's big, he's brave he's Spanish Dave
He makes great saves, he never shaves,
Flying through the air
Come and have a shot if you dare!

He indeed has been a great servant as well as a true professional in his behaviors. He will inevitably divide some on opinions, but no one can doubt some of the class saves over the years (Mata's freekick)

Ed002, what teams would be interested? Roma? Saudi clubs?

ussoldier77

{Ed002's Note - David De Gea (G) If Mr Mourinho stays at Roma, then perhaps interest. Perhaps someone in Spain or the Middle East. Manchester United have a list of potential replacements but want a new contract.}

At the end of the day Brendan81 said it right; it is out of our control. I will support the team regardless of the decision they make. Do I have to agree with the decision? Absolutely not, but I will support the club until then end. The only thing I would say is that I feel he should be loaned for a season to qualm the storm that is inevitably coming from opposing and our own home fans.

My personal opinion is that he and his partner are young and if she accepted him back / charges dropped, then it is their life decision to make.

I am thoroughly convinced that anyone who wins the TdF is doping. Also, regarding Lance, he is a SUPREME athlete who now wins Ironman competition, so there is no doubt he could have won. Plus, he was not using synthetic PHD, he was injecting his own red blood cells. Yes, that is illegal, however we cannot diminish, knowing the full picture, his athletic ability.

I know some will disagree, however I would be absolutely fine with Giroud or Mitrovic for a short term solution. I agree with Ed001, it is tough to find someone "good enough" in the January window AND while the club are in the midst of a takeover, therefore I believe the two above would be good solutions until the summer. Thoughts Ed001?

Cheers.

ussoldier77

{Ed001's Note - Giroud I like a lot, but I can't see why he would want to make the move to United right now as a short-term option. He is on the crest of a wave and it seems to be accepting that you only have a few months left of your career if he did join.

As for Mitrovic, I don't believe there are any circumstances Fulham would let him go under.}
