Well thought it was a bold move to pair Fernandes with Mata and Utd looked better for it to be honest . Tough opponents in Wolves who played well away from home. A draw was a fair result imo . But a point shared doesn’t move either to the top four .

Yes especially for a number 10. Logic may have been he can pass long shoot long but he was hampered by a lack of movement of other players and them wanting ball to feet. He wont be the messiah but he'll be an important player once he settles in.

He is saying all the right things. I really hope it works out for him and us. It would be great story if he gets the goals we badly need.

'I took pay cut to secure Man Utd move'
Odion Ighalo says he was so desperate to join Manchester United he took a pay cut to make the deal happen.

There’s no way they’d drop Fred
Plus Lingard is an excellent young prospect
I can't see Messi leaving Barca. Even on a free transfer for an 'older' player his wage bill and ego would be a millstone for any club.
Probably the best to have played the game but to become a team player at Utd/City/West Ham? While he is still performing he will want a team built around him and have influence on a club.

Be good if it galvanised at best a mainly apolitical fan base but at worst one that has had its fair share of Tories and TR supporters .
At very least I hope Old Trafford ban the rag from the ground.

I’m always heartened at Manchester airport that there are shelves upon shelves of free copies of the Sun untouched. I know lots of good Man Utd supporters who are sound politically but there’s many more who don’t remember the politics that a lot of united supporters had 20 years ago and have no affiliation with them .
I‘d imagine the large number who gleefully sing ‘the Sun was right, you killed your own fans’ every time they play Liverpool will just double down given their dislike of Woodward.

There’s a tribalism amongst some fans, not just at United but other clubs, which is inexcusable . Wouldn’t just single out Man Utd fans I’ve just seen a video of Leeds at a youth game singing ‘whose that lying on the runway’ .

Sky did an interview with a financial football expert who said the likes of citeh and Utd can easily recoup the expenditure on him through sponsors etc.

Excellent win tonight. Old school backs to the wall Fergie type victory with just enough class when it mattered to grab the points. Maguire superb. Fernandes too showed the quick silver flashes plus dead-ball delivery that has been missing for a long long time. (When was the last time Utd scored from a corner?) First time in over twenty years Utd have beaten Chelsea at home twice in a season. Add in the victories over other CL contenders (will have to discount Citeh now of course 
) and it is easy to see that even without the serious handicap of the missing Rashford/McTominay Utd are on the right track. I deliberately left Pogba out of the reckoning as I now longer consider him a Utd player. Neither of course does he. Anything near £120 mill in the kicker and don't let the door hit you on the way out would be welcome at this stage. Finally, if nothing else, the win will for a time force the treasonous 'Ole Out!' brigade to shut the fuck up!

When it suits his agent's agenda: in other words expect him to put his hand up sometime before the end of the season with about half a dozen PL games to go to prove his fitness to his future employer.

I merely pointed out dullard that he was still the most creative player on Utd's books. Not that i wanted him as captain. For the record I lost faith in him a long time before the most recent downing of tools.
