We're ManchesteROFL United, we do what we want

[Royal Rother]

That replaces the lost Champions League money anyway.

[Handsome Man]

With Adidas shirt deal, Chevrolet shirt sponsorship and AON training kit sponsorship, United will pick up about £140 million a year. Spurs' turnover this year is £147 million. This is enormous money, but you just know that they are not going to spend it on the very best players like James or Messi, but fritter it away like Man City have by over-paying ones from the next few levels down.

[soggy biscuit]

Heard earlier that the Adidas deal is so big as they have been given ownership of Man Utd shops in certain countries & continents so Man Utd lose that previous variable profit for a guaranteed amount up front instead and Adidas get a load of shops in 'developing' football areas to build up

Would like to see Vidal come to the prem. Fair amount of rumour linking him with Utd

7-0 win v. LA Galaxy last night, in Van Gaal's first game in charge.

Cue loads of Man Utd fans saying that they are going to win the title as a result........

Must have been one hell of a shirt deal

What, no comment ?

I don't think that many of the natives were happy with that performance-well done Swansea for winning against another potentially mid-table team.
Some bookies had them at 5/1 to win the title, shorter than Arsenal and much shorter than Liverpool, but I expect those odds to have more than doubled in just one day as people realise what a big job the Messiah, Van Gael has there.
If they finish above 7th it will be better than last season but the idea of them winning it with the dwarf at right-back and the incredibly over-rated Jones and Smalling in the middle is laughable.

To paraphrase the famous Hansen quote-you never win anything with crap players.
A good start to the new season.

[leww_rfc]

Was kind of smash and grab from what I saw? Although I only saw 20 minutes and United were all over them then, just couldn't finish.

No doubt your lot will fix another SSN poll to restore the balance.

Shaw, Carrick, Van Persie, Evans, Rafael all out so not sure how shit they are yet. TBH it looks a lot like the last season, really disjointed unbalanced team with no central midfield. They really need a CB and CM

I watched the game and actually think Smalling is a really good CB (defending) but pretty poor at distribution. Jones often looks good by last ditch tackling his own mistakes. He's got the physical talent not sure of the mentality, always looks very reactive.

big job

Lol

United had the possession but where pretty poor with it. I really can't remember the last time United had a through ball all goes down the wings and is lumped in. United could have been awarded a pen late on for handball, not sure. It wasn't deliberate but defender turned his back and had his arms out. If Pearce had done it, i'd think we'd got away with one
