Man city, Liverpool and this. The big game approach not really productive. Be nice to blame the Thursday game but I'm not that generous.

Its early days, but those who were suggesting that Jose might be on the downward slope should be feeling a little smug now. Time is on his side, but ultimately he does not know his best team. 2 of the four signings have looked patchy, one has looked quality and not sure what the plan is with the other.

Klopp and Conte spashed nowhere the same amount of money, finished lower last season than United and Jose of the three has the biggest question mark over him and rightfully so.

Mkhitaryan already finished at United. Mourinho killed his career just so we couldn't get him and to do Raiola a favour.

Did some news come out about him? I definitely haven't given up on him... which might sound like wishful thinking, but it mostly comes from deep despair over the quality of those playing instead of him.

Few leaks coming saying the United staff had doubts about him, are shocked at how weak mentally he is, that he's been fully fit for a week or two and isn't making match day squads and United are looking to try and recoup what they paid for him.

Those are strange leaks. Clearly undermine the club's position and I don't see who they benefit. The cliched shite about Premier League Intensity shows the level they're operating at too. Guess it just happens when a club is badly run.

Still not writing him off though.

Could have told them that for free.

edit: good fact checking from the Daily Mail, who claimed he helped Dortmund to the 2013 Champions League final.

United have had a really terrible culture of players leaking stuff to the media, no surprise to see the below backpage. I was thinking it was surprising we had hear of no annoyance from Rooney about been dropped the other day:laugh:

So many players seem to have gone awry at United, Di Maria, now possibly Mkhitaryan one of the finest players in Germany last season, Depay the best player in Holland when he joined, morgan schneiderlin who everyone thought was elite at Southampton and Pogba has looked small time. Heck even Darmien was gun when in Italy, now lucky to be on the bench. A lot of work for Jose to do indeed.
