I'm sure when he checks his bank account he'll manage to cope with Mourinhos criticism, the poor love.



You're not suggesting another overpriced footballer that United have paid for?

Not quite Pogbaresque proportions but not far off!

I like Luke Shaw, but he wont make it in a Mourinho defence because he might occasionally attempt to move more than 10 meters away from his keeper.

He's a typical modern day full back, loves to rampage forward in attack but is pretty pants when it comes to defending.

I don't know how these guys command such high transfer fees, as they're essentially guys that failed upfront and in midfield as juniors and had to resort to playing in defence to cut out a career.

No, it's similar to most people's working careers.

About 30% of the population end up doing the job they dreamed of as a kid. The rest end up somewhere else.

Mind you I fall into a category of those people that never had a dream career in the first place, so wasn't fussed where I ended up!

He had a rubbish first season for Man Utd but he was doing well in the second until the leg break. Sometimes a player is never the same again after that.

Wonder if this could be Rooneys last season at United?

Not started the season well, United are struggling, get the feeling that Jose will have to make a big tough call soon. Im guessing it will be Rooney who gets the shov.

Im sure big Sam will continue to pick him till he retires.

It's been obvious for over a year that Rooney shouldn't be in this Man Utd team. And for most of time, it's also been obvious that Rashford should be.

Hopefully for Man Utd's sake, today was the beginning of the post Rooney era.

There are still people inexplicably on Rooney's side. The commentator today at 4-0 was suggesting United were missing Rooneys energy in the seconf half.

What bloody energy is that?

Some people just cant accept its not 2009 anymore

Bournemouth get a very good result today.... finally get a winneable game and duly deliver.

Stoke let a late goal in to deny them a needed victory....

Crystal Palace score 3 times against Sunderland in the second half to win their game....

Sunderland and Stoke look Bang in trouble
