As a neutral, I'm pretty excited by all this.
Hope it works out for you boys. Things won't be the same, that's for sure.
Not sure what to make of the old fella - Zlatan - but he's certainly got that Cantona arrogance, & he's deffo Box Office.
I much enjoy watching Martial, too, & I still think Rooney has plenty to offer in midfield. For all the stick he got this season, one thing is for sure - he really works hard, & gives his all. Not all of the current team can say that.
The matches with City, Liverpool, Chelsea & Arsenal will be pretty interesting, too.

Pretty torn on Zlatan. He's a winner and just coming off his best season ever. Free as well. Loves Mourinho to bits and will be a huge presence in the dressing room, great for Martial/Rashford. However Mourinho always plays with a 1 striker system. This means will be need good service to him, which isn't the case atm. And also that it will limit the amount of minutes Rashford/Martial get up top.

I've always admired Jose. Thought he should've been the easy choice after Fergie but I think I've said before perhaps he's picked a better time.
Super excited- feels like we may genuinely challenge BUT again that's probably getting carried away. City and Chelsea are gonna be stronger for sure.
For me I'd love Zlatan to join. Would send a message and I think he would do really well in the Prem.
Exciting times!

Ignoring Zlatan for a moment
who are the striker options in the current squad behind Martial (who LVG liked to play wide but Jose might not?) and Rashford?
Wilson? who else?
--
Surely a manager like Jose could set up in a way to incorporate at least two of Zlatan (who i know is 35 but is still going to be levels above many PL defenders ), Martial and Rashford and the combination with Rooney in behind prompting would be a huge threat?
--
watching as a neutral last season i thought that the developent of the attacking play was very slow. If they set up to transition quicker and play at pace, with the options they have i think it could be a much more exciting season
--
presumably De Gea stays for Jose too?
--
thanks

Striking options are definitely limited. Would like to see Zlatan join and maybe a marquee signing up front but no one springs to mind. I know Marota has been linked.
The tempo was Deffo an issue. I have never been so bored and u inspired watching a United side. The style of play isn't effective anymore with high press tactics used by teams.
I think if Real want him he will go which will obviously be a massive loss

Be great if De Gea stays, God knows how many points he was worth to you this season.
However, if he goes, who would his likely replacement be?
Name three likely options.

If Jose behaves like he did in the season just finished how long will he last at untied?
I mean will the yanks be more tolerant of boorish and embarrassing behaviour or will he be given short shrift if he acts up again like he did on numerous occasions last season?
Could there even be a clause in his contract to cover such eventualities?

I don't think we will see that behaviour next year. Maybe year 3?

Would like to see Lloris but very doubtful. Again no one springs to mind maybe go abroad for a keeper. Or maybe get Navas as part of the deal again

What about Joe Hart if he became available? Rumours are Pep wants a sweeper keeper who's good with the ball at his feet & thus isn't keen on Hart.
As an aside whilst I think Utd and Chelsea will improve this coming season I don't think either team will finish in the top four.

Pretty bold statement. Think they both will

Also very doubtful Hart would come to us. I do think he's a quality keeper

Who's your top 4?
Think De Gea will stay. Navas has been great (by all accounts) this season. Zidane really likes him and keeper isn't really the marquee signing they go for, especially as he's going to cost them a fair whack. Especially true if they win the CL.
