Manchester evening post reporting Jose has sent scouts to find an attacking creator the ("final missing piece " ) , I believe we do need a playmaker 10 there are good options out there, i would like Ferkir from Lyon he would be perfect for this team imo.

Sounds like a novel or something, tis Sherlock Holmes or someone he should be sending.

Agree2 Disagree1

Fekir is a great option, but I prefer Thomas Lemar. Mkhitaryan still seems to be struggling with consistency, which at his age means he is unlikely to fully adapt and be a constant threat in the EPL. It's a real shame as he is an excellent player when on form. However, if we are to improve we need players who are consistently excellent, rather than great in spells. Mata unfortunately also falls into that category, although he is more consistent than Mkhitaryan Jose doesn't seem to fully trust him.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - I would not hold your breath over Fekir or Lemar.}

02 Dec 2017 11:31:01
That's a shame, both are excellent players. If you don't mind me asking Ed002, where is our interest currently in creative players?

Agree0 Disagree1

{Ed002's Note - I am not sure what you mean by "creative players". Are these players who have hobbies such as painting, quilt making and piecing together stained glass windows? You would do better by asking by position Shappy.}

02 Dec 2017 12:04:38
Ed002 🤣🤣👍.
Am sure you know what Shappy meant 👍. Which is why I love this site and the quick witty Eds and their hard working attitude. Not to be found anywhere else in this world 🤣🤣🤣.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - The trouble is I really don't know - are these wingers who can be creative, or central midfield players etc.. It is far easier for me if you give me a position or craft that we are looking for.}

02 Dec 2017 13:16:57
I might as well try😂 have we got any realistic targets in mind for that attacking midfield role no10 type player for January.
Ed002 can i ask what your thoughts are on the miki situation ed. He seems to have lost form and fallen out of favour completely. Is there any interest from elsewhere in him?

Agree3 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - As I said in the Sharkopod, Mesut Oezil may be one. But Oezil may need to think twice about any offer from Manchester United although it is not out of the question. Mata may also sign a new deal. Right now central midfield is the area the club has been looking.}

02 Dec 2017 15:48:24
Which Central Midfielders are we looking at Ed002?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - I explained it all in the Sharkopod. Try there.}

A handy draw for England.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

01 Dec 2017 19:26:03
Interesting draw, no real group of death this time round. Group F-Germany, Sweden, Mexico, South Korea is probably the toughest group on paper. Group D- Argentina, Iceland, Croatia, Nigeria will be tough to call, as will group C- France, Australia, Peru, Denmark. All the others should be pretty straight forward with Russia and Uruguay coming out of group A. Spain and Portugal coming out of group B. Brazil and Switzerland out of group E. Along with England and Belgium out of group G. Poland will get out of group H along with Japan, although Colombia and Senegal could surprise someone.

Agree4 Disagree1

01 Dec 2017 20:19:21
I'd be disappointed if England didn't atleast make the quatre final even if they lose to Belgium surely Panama, Tunisia and probs Poland in first knockout round is very achievable, if we were to handpick a route to the qf that wouldn't be to far off . Italy, Holland and another British or Irish side not being in are a big miss.

Agree3 Disagree0

02 Dec 2017 00:45:27
Italy, Holland and Chile you mean, right?

Shappy,

I’m sure you’ve seen enough Football and tournaments to know that ain’t how it happens, group stages never throw up the results you expect, there will be some surprises, that’s the beauty of football.

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Dec 2017 09:50:16
Heated balls as per for England, they shouldn’t be allowed to enter a tournament again if they fail to qualify from that group of jobbers. Not that I’m bitter at all being a Welshman 😂.

Hi Eds will you be posting the games previews pls? Can't wait to read. Am sure they will be great. Many thanks in advance.

Thanks vm dear sir.

01 Dec 2017 12:58:03
Any of the Eds aware of the Matic situation? He came off against Watford? Is it a serious injury or was it just precaution?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed001's Note - he is listed as a doubt for tomorrow.}

What are peoples score predictions for saturday?

For me its 3-1 to us

I remember the days when us vs gooners was one of the most anticipated fixtures. I even think i mentioned this last season before this match.

I love the arsenal fixture still, irs a differrnt feeling from the scouse fixture (which i hate in some ways)

I agree EZRS the rivalry used to be intense and there has been nothing quite like it in recent times. Thought I’d and city would be like that this year but they are too far ahead of us for Jose to have a chip at pep. I am also surprised that pep hasn’t had a chip at Jose. May blow up after the derby if we win.

But going back to the arsenal game this is the first time in years I am nervous about this fixture. Think perhaps there is so much at stake for us if we lose and also they are in very good form. It’s been a while since the Wenger out boys have been this quiet. I think if matic is fit we pip it 2-1. Hope we still to a similar line up but feel maybe bring in Herrera/ Fellaini for Lingard to shore up the midfield which seems to be overrun a lot the last few weeks. Need the 3 points so let’s put a marker down to the rest of the league.

Going for a 1-1, Arsenal are very good at home but think we'll beat City next week.

Agree2 Disagree0

01 Dec 2017 14:57:07
8-2 break it to you but I think we'll win comfortably. Lol.

02 Dec 2017 00:15:24
Arsenal 12 straight home wins. United not great away against top teams. No bailly and possibly no matic. A draw will be great but I think arsenal will come out comfortable winners by 2 goals.

Schmid,

There’s a surprise 😂.

If matic out its going to be tough. Alongside ddg he has been or outstanding player this season.

Cheer up AJH its Xmas for crying out loud!

Heard any news on the guy José wants to replace Felli?

Plays for Atatlanta in Italy? Christiante I think?

Would prefer Dendoncker, but hey?

Glad you are all well!

Peace out,

Ronnie! It's my b'day too 1st Dec!

Why are us as United fans getting ahead of ourselves after beating Watford.
Watford.
The next 2 games if we win them we can get a small bit excited. If we lose them we are back to square 1, the same old dribble as these past few years.
We are getting excited if city slip up.
Waiting for city to slip up.
We need 1 or 2 signings in January.
Top 4 that's where we are at.

Leahy,

Don’t know if you’ve noticed but Watford are having a very good season and we took them apart in the first half. Are people only allowed to be happy if we beat top teams? Strange way of looking at it, you get 3 points for any win.

Agree3 Disagree3

01 Dec 2017 10:37:14
So you think we are a top 4 side and that's where we at which is fine, yet we are currently 2nd, scored more goals and conceded less than we have for the past 3 or 4 seasons, playing better football than we have for 3 or 4 seasons, which would suggest we are improving and by your judgment of us, we are exceeding our expectations so why shouldn't we be excited?

Agree1 Disagree1

01 Dec 2017 11:44:47
Watford I think man united should be beating Watford every time we play them.
Ports we are second. but we have nothing win yet. We are improving but it needs to be consistent.
The Christmas games will tell a lot.
I hope we win them all but I'm not convinced yet.

Agree1 Disagree0

01 Dec 2017 00:41:45
Wonder if anyone would take back Depay at the end of this season. He is really playing well in Ligue 1 in France. I know it's not as strong as the Premier League but I really do think with the right coaching he could be special. Would have loved to have seen what Fergie would have been able to get out of him.

Believable0 Unbelievable5

01 Dec 2017 06:40:15
I’m not a fan. He came across as a Billy Big Boots and didn’t seem interested half the time. He may have just not been ready but then again he may just have an attitude.

Agree1 Disagree0

01 Dec 2017 10:10:53
He is a very good player but just came too early to England .
