Does it really matter? We already know Rooney hopes to come to Chelsea

Not only will PSG not sell him, he's a lot more similar to our current strikers than Rooney which is one of the main reasons why Jose wants Rooney. I think Rooney, Suarez, Lewandowski type of player is who we are looking at, and Rooney is our best chance

At least we got Jose. He'll know what to do. He must have learned something after having to deal with even more spoiled bunch in Madrid

Jose mentioned him when talking about the style of striker we are looking for. If he can be had for a small fee and he decides to take a pay cut, good option.

Perhaps, but it was also a preseason game without our best defender, midfielder and striker (if we are to include Rooney who would have made no difference according to you). Based on preseason, Juventus are worse than Everton, LA Galaxy and Inter. Who cares?

Most likely keeping his hands behind the back

Is this kid rated higher than Charly? He's younger too

By same logic, Mikel had a better season than Gareth Bale who couldn't win a single trophy last season. I'm obviously talking about their performances. Oscar didn't have the best of tournaments although Luiz definitely did.

He's a good option to have against certain oppositions. I think people are too harsh on him just because he can't pass like Pirlo. I also think he had the best summer out of all our players. He really stood out in the Confederations Cup, and I hope he can continue to play like that.

It's pretty much confirmed. Both the player and his agent were publicly complaining about Dortmund.

They are upset that Rooney's putting himself before the club? Really? This is a guy who wants to LEAVE the club. Of course he's putting himself before the club he no longer wants to be at. I think an offer like 30M+5M if we win the league+5M if Rooney wins the golden boot would be fair.

The best thing about the transfer request is that even if United still don't budge, they've got themselves a publicly upset player.

He is so clever, so so clever and composed.

MOM twice in a row for me. He's using his pace and playing more direct. This is how he should alway play and I think he went away from doing that a bit last season. Hopefully he has a big season

Dunno if he will play for the youth teams, but he'll have a whole foot on Feruz

I just hope he learns to use his right foot. Would make him so much better.

Boga and Loftus-Cheek but I quite like the look of Aina

and most likely after our game at OT on the 26th.

The work permit issue always gets me. Someone's willing to pay £10M+ for a player's service, and he can't get a work permit?

Yeah, Charly should get more playing time now that his paper works are no longer an issue. Boga is farther along development-wise because he's physically more mature, but both are obviously exceptional talents. Also I wouldn't say Boga's decision making is particularly bad. He does need to get more involved in the game consistently though. Sometimes he's invisible out there. That was the issue with Kakuta as well, but hopefully Boga does better. He's not as flashy, but seems to be more efficient than Gael which is a good sign.

Nope. If there was, twitter or this place would be going absolutely nuts. If you have to question whether a news as big as this comes from a reliable source, the answer is most likely a no.

Because statistics alone doesn't tell the whole story. If it were, we should be more than confident in Lukaku for the upcoming season. Rooney used to be arguably the best player in the world not named Messi or Ronaldo, but now he's barely the 3rd best player for United. Don't get me wrong. I would still like us to sign him, but he's not the player he was a few years ago. If that were the case, he would be going for A LOT more than the rumored price of 25-35M

- No need for Wallace after Maicon loan - No need for money after Marquinhos sale Unless the player himself demands a move (which won't happen), I can't see us signing De Rossi.

But what does that say about Lukaku and Torres's WC chances when they become 2nd and 3rd choices?

Not from Barcelona, but made his NT debut at the age of 15, so he must be special. Hasn't been able to appear in official U18 and U21 games because of legal reasons, but should be good to go when he turns 18 early this season
