They should go for a Marvel-style anti-hero overkill. Recruit Woy, Sam, Dyche, Mark Hughes and Pulis. The Tight Five. It would be great. For their 'reveal' video, they could show them being tracked do

Be even funnier if they're still playing the McFred pairing next season.

 

I did joke that United should do a McDonald's tie-in based on those two. The McFred would be a bun with nothing in the middle.

Not even the pickle (they've gotten themselves into)?

Nevertheless, it's funny that they nurtured him from a teenager, let him go on a free, then bought him back for £89M, got very little out of him and lost him on a free again. Class.

He should go back to Juventus, do great for them for a year ot two, then when Ten Hag is sacked his replacement would say, it was a mistake to let him go and they will buy him back for 50 million.

They make Everton look like a well-oiled machine.

I would have thought they'd have three or four signings ready to come in for a full pre-season, given the complete rebuild that they need. Hopefully their transfer window will be the same shambles of the recent past with a few lads in their late thirties signed at the end of August.

Anyone who signs pogba is falling for that classic thing nearly every club and manager do with supposed stars like pogba or long term sick notes and think if they could just get their hands on them, it would be brilliant and they can fix whatever the flaw is. But it rarely works and the player just continues to be the waste of a contract he has been his entire career. It's the footballing equivalent of corner bet on roulette.

Yep, same as Ballotelli as we discovered to our cost.

Not just him. Sturridge and Chamberlain are 2 sick notes that spring to mind too. 

Not having Sturridge in the same company as Balotelli and Pogba. He was a magnificent footballer who always concentrated on improving his game rather than promoting his brand image.

That wasn't the point I was making. The point I was making, there are always clubs and managers, despite all the evidence that someone is either a bit of a dickhead or a sick note, they feel they can be the one who gets something out of them. They can get inside their heads. They can keep them fit where others can't. When the reality is, they're just the fellas they've always been. Sturridge got his move to us because he was a sick note. Balotteli because instead of being the knobhead he was portrayed as, he was really someone who supposedly had all the talent in the world if only someone could get inside his head. As it turned out sturridge was a sicknote and balotteli was a knobhead.
