#10 MARCUS RASHFORD It's pretty funny to think about his rise through the team. He could have so easily have going the route of the Macheda or Ángelo Henríquez (I still think about that guy from time-to-time. He looked so natural). Despite being forced to the wing under Jose, all the signs are pointing towards Rashford now being the main striker in the team (having recently signed a 5-year contract of around £200,000 per week). To the point that should we sell Lukaku, I would wager that any replacement will likely being third choice behind Rashford & Martial. He's never had a high scoring season, and last year, despite playing mostly on the wing, he managed his highest scoring season yet. He's still only 21. His numbers by comparison to most players in this position are staggering and are only really dwarfed by Mbappe. On paper, he's one the best prospects in football today. Yet watching him play all of last season, it's so easy to get frustrated with him. Personally, I pen this down to a lack of form and confidence. Given the season to become United's main Striker, I think we will see another player emerge. One which closer resembles the player we saw when he broke out onto the scene where LVG gave the confidence ill-afforded by his predecessors. Or maybe he'll just bomb with the rest of the team? Time will tell.  Watcha

#23 LUKE SHAW I think the best way to summarise Shaw's career to date is through the following stats on league appearances: 2013—14: 35 2014—15: 16 2015—16: 5 2016—17: 11 2017—18: 11 2018—19: 29 In short, last season was the most we have seen from Shaw since his season at Southampton that prompted us to sign him in the first place. Until last season, it has always been a case of knowing he was a quality player but his form has always been broken up by injuries. Lady luck was on his side though and in the end, he picked up 3 Player of the Month awards for the club, being voted Players' Player of the Season as well as winning the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year award (finally breaking De Gea's streak). Let's cross our fingers that he can turn out another 30+ games this season for us... Scoring his first Premier League goal

Why can’t Harry Maguire’s family stayed the fuck in Ireland so we’d only have to pay €15m for this useless piece of shit instead of €80m? My god score a goal or two at a world cup in which your team can’t even beat a good team without penalties and all of a sudden you’re worth more than Virgil fucking Van Dijk? Unreal. I can’t believe anyone dumb enough to pay for this piece of shit could have actually been smart enough to accrue the wealth to do so in the first place.

#SlabRed His welcome video will be him breaking concrete blocks with his forehead. Or something just as ridiculous.

Same goes for plenty of players who have played in the premier league and played well too, like I said it's a myth. A player will settle if a player is going to settle it doesn't matter what league he is brought in from. Lukaku is a premier league proven player and he has been a disappointment for us too and looks to be out the door. Even if it was true and we wanted to go down the premier league proven route we should be all over Toby for 25 million and using the extra dosh on a young center back to go along with him who has the potential to become word class for a lot less then spending close to 80 million for Harry fucking Maguire. He's not even that much better then what we have and what we have is a horrible horrible selection of center backs

It's not a myth at all. Lots of players signed from Spain and Italy don't settle in England. For a number of reasons. Some adapt others don't. Alexis was finished before we signed him. I called that, as I am a genius. Schneiderlin was a player worth signing. We didn't pay over the odds for him. We got most of our money back. Pogba, however, the overrated dab merchant who banged in worldies against snails in Italy...

We're done as a football club. The next 20 years will make Liverpool's struggles look phenomenal. Woodward has to be killed.

He's not wrong he did leave the Leicesters pre-season camp...just with the rest of his team mates aswell with the camp been finished PL proven is the biggest myth of all time. Sanchez was one of the best premier league players for years when we signed him and Schniederlin was one of the better defensive midfielders and they're just two recent examples. @Piazza is spot on tbh madness we're spending this kind of money on Maguire he's an improvement on what we have but the bar isn't exactly very high and Maguire is slightly above average yet we're going to make him the most expensive defender of all time, mental.

Alderweireld is available for £25 million. Jesus christ. This club is a joke.

You can't do it deliberately - the only reason it was allowed is because the batsman had no eyes for the ball, just ran straight through and it hit him through no fault of his own. A complete freak incident -- and to happen at that moment in the World Cup final as well! Amazing thing is that had the ball not run to the boundary, they might not have run an extra run out of sportsmanship. But those are the margins. What an incredible game. My head still hurts. Best cricket match I -- or, I would argue, anyone -- has seen.

An absolute fucking joke of a football club Jesus fucking christ

idk if they're just ruling it out due to age, or if he isn't interested in joining us or what - there has got to be some reason beyond 'lol our board is incompetent' for us not at least being in the hunt with him? Hasn't there.......?

Our league position will be decided by his development. If Lukaku goes we're all in on him being the guy. Can't see him being consistent enough.

Look forward to your assessment in a few years after we drop £80m on absolute mediocrity to fix our mediocre defence. We could sign nearly any defender in world football for the same fee, or less. Awful. I'd stick with Smalling and upgrade other areas of the pitch in a heartbeat.

With Wan-Bissaka and Dalot competing for the RB position, Luke Shaw's competition at LB is going to be Ashley Young this season

Just phenomenal most amazing finish to any cricket game ever!! That was what is called pure theatre!!

England world champions. What an epic match.

7-6, 1-6, 7-6, 4-6, 13-12.... Heartbreaking May be Fed's last ever chance tbh. Djokovic on 16 now....he's odds on to win the next two slams as well. Winning this also virtually guarantees Djokovic will be #1 in the world for the next 12 months which will mean he overtakes Federer as longest reigning #1 in history.

Some (better sources than the sun) claiming no fee has been agreed yet

They’ll pan out to reveal the video was being projected onto his forehead....

Guess you won't be making Slabhead's thread then...

He looks useful on the counter but when a team sits deep his impact is nullified. He needs to develop crossing, finishing and trickery to really become a top player.

£350k a week. For a shit goalkeeper. This is not real life. Reality is a lie.

Reported in the last hour that the club have a new offer on the table for substantially higher wages. Hopefully this is the one that gets it over the line and we can at least create the illusion of a well run club...
