Says more about where Man U are being forced to shop nowadays that their marque summer signing will be a 35 year old past his best with no experience of the league looking for a final pension.  Remember when it was pretty standard to be breaking transfer records most summers and signing players who were going to play 80-100 times for England like Rio and Rooney at the start of their careers so you had them throughout their prime just to name two?

Because he's being linked he's their marquee signing?

Shaw potentially fits into that category but that's it. He is the one United signing in recent seasons that I'd like to see at City. Not Englsih but Martial looks as tho he has a big future as well but will he stay?

There other big money signings since Fegruson:

Fellani
Mata
Di Maria
Herrera
Schnederlin




Shaw in the same league as Rio or Rooney or Ronaldo for Man U signings?  Do me a favour!  Martial agreed.  Real deal for me.  Married young with a kid.  Seems very focused and level headed.  Think he will be using Old Trafford as a stepping stone to bigger things though like yourself.  Can't see him being a MU 'lifer'.

Shaw is only 20, world record transfer fee for a full back and only needs to play for England another 75 times to equal Ferdinand's tally of caps. Easy Smiley

I personally think Mourinho is the most odious manager in football and I can’t abide the man.
As for United, Zlatan is an interesting one. Surely he isn’t up to the competitive nature of the PL at 35.
This.
Ibrahamovic smacks of a Glazer 'merchandice selling' signing to me.

In 5 years time, I look forward to the outpouring of people heralding United's 'famed' youth academy, with people pointing at Oxford as a great example of coming through the ranks.

Another product of the United academy scored twice for Barnsley yesterday. Ashley Fletcher was playing in the U21s at the start of the season, ahead of Marcus Rashford. Might even have got the nod vs Mittrejand(sp) instead of him.

He'll be back at QPR by then.

Anyone watch the Man U-Liverpool game today? Thoughts?

Are Man Utd better then everyone else or is it just a poor PL this season?

Will they win a record 19th title this season?

Who do we need to buy to replace an ageing Giggs/Scholes?

Is Berba the real deal or should he go

SAF replacement? Mourinho or Guardiola?

5 1/2 years down the line, I bet you didn't for one second think that City would land Guardiola whilst you get stuck with Mourinho almost by default.

Decent article about young Mr Rashford for someone who used to work for Brentford/Midtjylland - http://statsbomb.com/2016/06/arguing-about-marcus-rashford-and-young-player-development/

Interesting stuff.
I'm not at all suggesting that the comparison would be favourable, but it would be interesting to see Shearer's stats for his first games. Or Owen's.

Meantime we appear to be signing a geriatric Swede who will probably exit the European Championships due to an injury that keeps him sidelined till Christmas.

Didn't do much over 2 legs vs us, kept very quiet by our average defence, especially in the 2nd leg. If Mangala has you in his back pocket you should be worried Wink

A great player and talent, will probably notch a few goals but its one thing banging them in for fun in a league that you win by 31 points, and another thing altogether in the Premier League in 2016 where even the 'crap' teams can cause problems.

Good for shirt sales I bet, do they still charge by the letter to have a name on the back?
