so...our first game is in two weeks...have we played a friendly in preseason yet??

 

 

Players not on international duty only returned to training a couple of days ago. This coming season is probably going to be stranger than the last.

"Unlike other forms of camouflage, the intention of dazzle is not to conceal but to make it difficult to estimate a target's range, speed, and heading"

 

Aye can't think of how that could possibly backfire in a game designed around passing a ball to each other...

Sounds like it's probably not worth watching later. 

 

  Reveal hidden contents

Pretty much played a b team with Lingard and Mata on the wings.

 

Lost 1-0.

 

 

Apparently the leaked line up was wrong so might be worth watching. Maybe.

Here's a little graphic from the Swiss Ramble illustrating how much the various Premier League clubs' owners have put into their teams over the last five seasons. 

 

As you can see, our owners are leeches who have sucked almost a hundred million out of the club. They've basically stolen the amount it would have taken to sign Sancho.

What is going on with our transfers?  Apparently we've given up on Sancho, we're set to miss out on Bale AND Reguilon who are both going to Spurs, and Thiago is going to Liverpool.

Hmm.. the usual?

From spending to much time on a United fan discord this transfer window it sounds like we're probably still in for Sancho, just with Ed doing that thing where he delays expecting the selling club to give in to our demands of discounts before ending up paying the price originally quoted. 

 

Madrid are apparently insisting on a bit back clause for Reguilon which we're are refusing which is fair enough. Spurs have then come along and agreed to that so it looks like that's on for them. He can then go back to Madrid in a year or two when Zidane is no longer manager as apparently Z doesn't like him.

 

Thiago seemed to come from nowhere and wanted to go to Liverpool but they won't pay the full amount Munich want. We're happy to pay the fee but he is less keen to come to us and was asking for higher wages. We allegedly finally agreed personal terms with him but then haven't put in a bid. Liverpool buying him is said to be down to them selling first with Wijnaldum to Barcelona being the sale they were going to make but Barca dropped interest and now he's staying. I guess we might bid for Thiago but who actually knows.

 

Bale is Bale. Thought to be rumours of this coming up now to suggest we are happy to walk away from Sancho but people think it's mostly nonsense.

 

Sancho also played for Dortmund last night in the first round of their domestic cup but Maguire and Bruno both played a couple of days before becoming United players so make of that what you will. 

 

Other than that there isn't much being reported at the moment so either nothing is happening or the board are managing to actually keep things quiet. Van De Beek did ultimately come from nowhere so you never know.

 

:unsure:
