Always wanted Potch myself purely for the brand of football he plays, I know there will be those that say he's never won anything blah blah blah although I can't see him leaving the Spurs project anytime soon.

Get the two Ginger Ninja's in, Butt and Scholes

JM's starting to become an embarrassment with this petty feud he's initiated with Conte

Why does he have to do it?

someone needs to tell him to shut the f()ck up

Jm just likes to open his mouth and spew out broken English garbage

He's obviously playing a game with the press, trying to deflect everyone's attention away from the real issue, why are we playing so Badly

Let's face it they've both attended the Chelsea FC finishing school for dick heads

JM thinks he's as cool as Cantona, not even close sunshine.

I'd get King Eric back just to do the post match interviews !!

No talk of Sanchez joining your team? Do you think it's a good signing? He has been a nightmare at Arsenal in terms of screwing up the dressing room atmosphere. Be interesting to see how he deals with Maureen not pandering to his every demand. He's a great player when in the mood I can never doubt that but one high maintenance player and a big sulker if he gets substituted or worse doesn't play. I wonder how long before he rubs some of the team up the wrong way with his attitude like he did at Arsenal.

I'm pleased although it is a little tainted in the respect of all the money talk and the fact we've lost Micki but if you can't prove yourself and be consistant at 29 will you ever ?

I hope he does well for you guys, your style will be better suited to his game

I'm not overly excited about the swap however it's a damn site better than if Sanchez went at the end of the season for nothing. I hope i'm pleasantly surprised with another attacking midfielder added to the long list we already have. He may well have to step into Ozil's shoes if his contract situation isn't resolved.

tbh I thought Ozil would have gone to United but I guess we cant afford two players on that sort of Salary.

He might come in the summer if he doesn't sign a new contract.

And he'll want 400K a week and then the flood gates open, if they haven't already.

Pogba and de Gea will be watching with interest and negotiating new contracts and any future high class signings will also have taken note.

I understand why he's getting what he's getting (anywhere from 350 to 600K a week depending on which media outlet you believe) but we're setting a precedence for ourselves.

For me that's not the best situation to be in I've always wanted player that want to play for United and not how much cash they can extract out of us, a la Chelsea and their band of mercenaries.

One thing is for sure Griezmann wont be coming now

More worryingly where does this leave Rashford, Lingard, McTominay and to some extent Martial.

Jose loves a ready made team and Rasher has really been on the periphery this season and I get the feeling Jose's opinion of Martial is he's only as good as his last game and he'll drop him ***** nilly, of the 4 mentioned Martial has to be the most talented/important and I for one don't want to see him leave due to lack of 1st team chances.

well another real disappointing, lacklustre, unimaginative, clueless performance from us

OK we lost a goal after 11 secs, so we've still got 90 mins to get back in the game, we had no idea, skill, imagination or guidance on how to breakthrough the Spurs defence, Poor, Poor display...again

Sanchez must be wondering what he's come to

mind you he's always got paid day to look forward to

Could you imagine trying to get his wages into the wee brown payslips you used to get paid with before online banking

Same old same old with Jose, bottles it against the top 6 teams, F*cking bottles it !!!! again and again


That was F*cking shocking last night, embarrassing.

Everyone could see the way we were set up was a total joke, no cohesion Pogba and Matic playing about 10 feet in front of the back four for F*cks sake.



Yeah I'm F*cked off alright

I think we got the better deal out the swap after today's performance and how he links up with Auba - 3 assists in his first game you can keep the mercenary South American

It's all black & White now, we're $hite
what's happening to us, we've spent millions and going nowhere
alright we're still 2nd in the league, but some of our play is abysmal

C'mon United get your fingers out and stay in the top 3 at least

I know what you mean, but to be fair, their keeper was outstanding yesterday, as were the defenders clearing any off the line that he missed.

Atrocious the other night

Having supported United since 74 I feel I can comment on our current situation without being called a glory hunter that needs to get used to life after Fergie.

I'm a realist but it's fair to ay Jose binned United's DNA the day he took the job.

I feel like a Gooner tbh (without the nice football)

Jose and Woodward out

Shaw is a side show, there has to be something wrong with Luke, he either can't be bothered training or has just lost the will to play ?

Will Jose go, I don't think so, unless he lifts the FA Cup and stays 2nd he'd be seen to be leaving as a failure, running away from the competition with Citeeh IMO

If we're stuck with him and there are a lot worse out there (we've had a couple recently) he just needs to have a sit down, rethink his tactics, a little tweek here and there, get a couple of top players in and we could be up there challenging on all fronts
