All part of the Drawinho plan. Absolutely shocking finishing as usual. I dunno what United train on during the week? Selfies?
Someone should dig up the stats this season for how many goals Man Utd have managed to score in the first half of a game.

Can't finish a happy meal etc
Can't see anything else than a Man Utd win, Celta has been crap.

Shitposting in footyGAF is the future
Anyway, good goal from Rashford. Was just thinking it was time for him to come off.
Now the 1-1 is on! Cmon Mou! Fellaini elbow red card is still up for grabs as well.

Mbappé who?
Welcome back DrawBoxer
15 mins for that equaliser that will leave all United fans feeling angry at all the missed chances.
Everyone knows the real meltdowns will be from the Arsenal game. Can't wait 👌 Either for AFTV or all the salty United fans on GAF. There's dozens of us.

Is this how Celta is going to play against Real Madrid? There goes any hope I had of Barcelona winning the league.

Colour me shocked. A 1-0 win was held! Should've been more though. A better team would have finished this 2/3-0.
Dreadful game to watch for entertainment.

Now to see what kind of team Mou puts out vs Arsenal

Park that bus. He'll be sweating it Fellaini is suspended. We aren't out scoring Arsenal so if they actually turn up I think it might be the first loss in a while.
John Dunbar
correct about everything
so what are the rules if manchester united wins the europa league but doesn't finish in the top four in the premier league? does premier league get five teams in the champions league (assuming the fourth place team gets through qualification) or does manu knock out the team that finishes fourth?
edit: looks like they can get five teams.

5 teams. If Leicester had won the CL and Man U win the EL it would be top 3 because the max you can have from one country is 5.
It looks that way, every game they are losing someone. Maybe Mou gives Tuanzebe a shot at RB, Blind at LB with Smalling back in the lineup.

lol.
Mourinho might be playing Rashford, but he's resisting playing youth as expected. Probably see Rooney in defence before you'll see Tuanzebe or Fosu-Mensah given starting positions.
He is so lovely this year lol.^^ Tons of Juve fans is liking his new role lol.^^
On beating Real in final...... I had small expectation for us to do it sadly.T_T
Juventus record in final.....T_T
RM record in final.......O_O

Great game by Man.U yesterday, they should have won by more. Was expecting a bit more from Celta tbh, but 1-0 is a very open result for a second leg. So Man.U will still need to brin their A game if they want to qualify for the final.
Yeah Real, like them or hate them, don't "play" finals. They "win" finals. It's silly. It seems that whenever they do reach a final in the CL they almost always win it, it's ridiculous. Out of 14 finals they lost 3.
Juve on the other hand, out of 8 finals, won 2. Which most clubs would kill for, don't get me wrong, but statistically speaking RM is on a different level for sure.
Still, the great thing about football is that you can't really tell what's gonna happen, especially in single matches

According to Marca (yeah I know!), we are going all in on Mbappe, and we seem prepared to pay a check of €100 million, while the player himself want to join the squad, mainly because of Zidane and also because he's a fan and likes the current project.
I'm not sure we'll be pulling this off, having in mind that we also need to spend a good amount of money on a goalkeeper. And probably a left back. I just really don't see us going for him. Especially as we currently have so many players for these positions: Isco, James, Lucas, Cristiano, Bale, Asensio, Morata, Benzema and even Mariano in cases.

Happens non-stop. When you can just print catchy headlines and get clicks, why not? Still to come, the usual, Ronaldo is considering returning to Man Utd and/or Neymar might be coming again. Fuck it, chuck in Ramos for the lolz.

To be fair, As is a loooot worse than Marca on the "RM fanboying"
Mbappe should stay put or if he's willing to move, go to the Premier. Spanish football does *not favour fast players as much as the Premier does IMO.
Though since he is young he could probably adapt fairly well to either style. The problem with going to a club like RM is that a) you're not gonna bench Bale or Ronaldo and b) as you've said, they already have a bunch of young kids (great quality kids at that!) in line for when they eventually do get benched.
Arsene loves to talk about how he almost signed players. I don't know why, all it can do is anger the fan base.

How Wenger is still Arsenal's manager I'll never know.
I think that would be for the best, yeah. He is still young, he needs to play as much as he can. In a club like RM, especially in his position, that's not gonna happen. Of course, RM is surely not his only choice right (should he want to move).
"I could've signed..." and the Arsenal 'war chest' stories must be the most infuriating thing for Arsenal fans.
Well, it is not a strange thing to happen lol. I mean for Juventus we also had tons of crazy rumour keep coming out every week.O__O
We are linked with so many players that i got confused lol.
Patrik Schick from Sampdoria
Keita Balde from Lazio
Marco Verratti from PSG
Mattia de Scigilio from AC Milan
Tolisso from Lyon
Douglas Costa from Bayern
and of course Sanchez from Arsenal.
I mean wow. Juventus must have unlimited funds there lol.^^

Weakened team and weakened team. Feels like everytime Mourinho says he can't play his full team, he still puts out a respectable team in the Premier League. Don't expect it to be different this weekend... just normal Mourinho mind games.
Meh, it is a weakened team. That its still considered by most people to be a "good" team just shows the overall strength of the squad, something I don't think most of the top 6 have.
Second team to get that ban.
