You're not even worth half of Paul Pogba.
That seems like too much for him to be a bench player, is our formation going to be 4-0-6-1, with 2 of the defender actually playing up top most of the game too.
Edit: Apparently the £25m is with add-ons, so £20m most likely, which makes a bit more sense I guess.

On Pogba
"I don't confirm and I don't deny," said United boss Jose Mourinho. "I cannot tell you."
"I don't think it is correct to speak about players of other clubs. My directors did a fantastic work to do 75% of the job I ask them to do. I gave them a few options. We have just 25% to do until 31 August.
"We are in great conditions to have a great market. We are calm. We have three faces to fill the profile. I am confident Mr Woodward will get the player we need to get a good balance."

I would love it if Madrid swooped in now, it went down to the wire and Pogba didn't move. Especially after the de gea stuff from last summer.
Brutal.
De Gea
Darmian Smalling Bailly Shaw
Pogba Carrick/Herrera
Mkhitaryan Rooney Martial
Ibra
Unless an Italian club comes in for Darmian (looking more unlikely now?) then I think he'll be given another shot. Unfortunately think Carrick will be first choice but since he won't play every game, Herrera will get a lot of opportunities.

This is so crazy
If you had told me two years ago that by now, Götze would be back at BVB and Hummels at Bayern, I would have slapped you in the face with my dick cause I'd had been laughing so hard.
Lallana is dead.
If you don't play Schneiderlin with Pogba, Mourinho is mad.
Rode is now finally where I always said he should go.
He probably convinced Goatze to join!
Yeah, hoping to see him get the nod more often than not. His stats at Southampton put him on par with Matic in that role.
Yeah seems he's been replaced, Milner probably won't get much play time either. Wondering what will happen with Henderson too, don't see him replacing Can and with Wijnaldum, Grujic, Milner and a few youngsters possibly breaking into the first team, there'll be a lot of competition for his spot.
Whats more disgusting is his statement that he would never had join Bayern after all this. The same guy that said only 5 months ago he wants to be the face of Bayern.
This guy cant stop making mistakes over and over. And even Dortmund knows this. 3 years contract. LOL.
23. Mai :"Ein aufregender Tag neigt sich dem Ende zu. Ich habe nach Saisonschluss und vor der EM einvernehmlich mein Management gewechselt und in die Hände meiner Familie gelegt. Jetzt werde ich alles dafür tun, bei der EM und beim ersten Training unter Carlo Ancelotti topfit zu sein. Ich will richtig angreifen. Bei Bayern und zuvor bei der EM. #partofbayern"

Typical PR garbage, of course he has to admit he made a mistake joining Bayern if he's coming back. And after all, it was a mistake. He hardly played and stagnated.
I gotta be honest, I forgot he even existed. Such was the impression he gave last season.
Really says alot how the rummenigge and pep regime treated it's players
Don't forget hojbjerg gaudino weiser and Many more
He didn't get a chance. He was brilliant for us, we will have him back if you don't want him....
Wonder how that will change with Carlo but Rummage still being there.
Yeah, but I was always one of those Götze defenders until recently when I heard some worrying stories about him and his lifestyle from a very close source to him. Many things make sense now but this guy has some serious problems. PR sure is one of them.

Don't be such a tease. I know you want me to beg you to share those stories. So, do it.
Well he did start 25 league games but I can't point the finger as so many players struggled last season. I'm only hoping he's revitalised under Mourinho, same with the rest of last summer's signings.
Let's discuss formations now!
Neuer
Lahm - Hummels - Boateng - Alaba
---------- Sanches ----- Vidal----------
Coman ---------- Müller ----------- Costa
-------------------- Lewa
Bench:
Starke
Rafinha
Bernat
Badstuer
Martinez
Kimmich
Robben
Ribery
Thiago
Pretty solid squad. But it feels like something is missing. One big player to make the difference.

Get the other Sanches(z) out of London. #Brexit

I think you need another worldclass winger with Robben and Ribery getting older and even more dead. I'm not yet convinced that Costa and Coman can offer what Robben and Ribery did in their prime.
I fucking told you about him and his father.
I bet his former agent is glad that he's done with him.
Should have just kept joe allen, pft
I think carlo wants to play a classic 4-3-3 with
Neuer
Lahm-boa-hum-alaba
Vidal
Sanches-thiago
Müller--------costa
Lewa
Probably, that's why we're selling our AM and don't get new wingers even with robben's injury.
Just a feeling, though. Don't know that much about carlo's style

I was with you until reus. Dude never wins anything
He got a bronze medal for the UEFA Euro 2012 and won the DFL-Supercup in 2013 and 2014.
TL;DR: you are right :lol

Lopetegui is officially Spain's new manager. Not world class like Conte was for Italy but one of the better options available, I think.

If he really got a bronze medal at the Euro, he's an ultimate winner.
there is none
this team could beat us
