Odlilčan rezime Martialove borbe sa formom na Sky-u.

Mislim da je vrijeme za priču oko novog ugovora.

Dobar potez, nije predug ugovor, ali dovoljno za neku sigurnost. Produžen do 2020. sa opcijom +1.

Mata ide na Svjetski ekonomski forum u davosu i tamo će biti kao jedan od govornika

Vidim u društvu Gatesa, Malale i premijerke Norveške se igra stonog fudbala

[Rooney88]

Auuu brate, ogromna stvar za bilo koga. Tek za fudbalera. Kapa do poda, uvijek je gospodin I bio!

Pa dobro, neko je morao preuzeti ulogu intelektualca u ekipi od kada je Miki otišao... Iskreno, nisam ni znao da je Miki onoliki kapacitet - čovjek na vrijeme odradio fakultetsku diplomu (ekonomista), tečno govori pet jezika. Čudi me da je čovjek koji ima više intelektualnog kapaciteta nego pola ljudi što sjede u rektoratu UNSA i koji sigurno ima mogućnost racionalnog razmišljanja dopustio da ga onoliko emocionalno svlada cijela situacija i da se "utopi" na Old Trafordu. Šteta, i dan danas mislim da je to puno bolji igrač nego što smo ga imali priliku vidjeti.

ajmo što lakše riješiti večeras protivnika

Napravit peticiju da se Skoricu zabrani pisanje o Unitedu. Frajer se previse prosipa

[Asteriks]

Former Manchester United coach Rene Meulensteen has compared Red Devil Jesse Lingard to Barcelona’s Andrés Iniesta...

I saw so many similarities in their games, and I always believed that Jesse was the English Andres Iniesta

Logicno, kad se to znalo.

[Poligon10]

Lucidnu tehniku i dodir.

Btw, ajmo Alexise večeras.

[Asteriks]

[Poligon10]

Kakvu postavu očekuješ protiv Tottenhama? Hoće li Alexis moći desno kako bi Martial ostao siguran prvotimac?

[Asteriks]

Tu smo imali svega dva rjesenja - Juanito i Jesse (iak je u zadnje vrijeme pomjeren centralno). Pokusalo se par puta sa Rashom al tjt, cijela raznovrnost desne strane.

Alexis bi mogao imati rolu slicnu Matinoj, s tim da ce dobiti mnogo vise slobode.

Od zadnjih 6 ligaskih temi, Martial je startao cetiri te zabio tri komada. Ne vidim razlog zbog kojeg bi ostao kao rezerva + trenutno je najbolje rjesenje na navedenoj poziciji (Rash se mora zadovoljiti ulogom dzokca).

[Patrice_Evra_3]

Mislim da se sastav za Tottenham sam po sebi nekako nameće. To će bit varijanta 4-3-3, gdje je Lingard taj treći sa Matićem i Pogbom, kao i u zadnjih par mečeva, gdje je nekad im'o više zadataka nazad, nekad manje, ovisno o protivniku. Alexis desno, Martial lijevo, Lukaku špic. Zadnja linija kao i protiv Burnleya i to je to.

Sinoć je odmorena praktično cijela prva postava, samo bi Alexis treb'o startat od ovih sinoć što su, ili u nekoj varijanti Mata ako bi njega ostavio na klupi, u šta sumnjam ipak.

[Feldmarschall]

Ask yourself: who are the top English midfield players of the past 20 years? We’ll rightly look back and tell the next generation about the wonderful all-round ability of Steven Gerrard, the outstanding goalscoring record and timing of runs of Frank Lampard and the sheer technical prowess of Paul Scholes, who created and scored goals. But there’s another midfielder who deserves his place among these legends: a player with exceptional passing and ability to dictate the flow of a football match with his positional play and intelligence, who has been undervalued, underappreciated and overlooked – especially at international level.

When we show the next generation of young midfield players the art of receiving possession on the half-turn from your defence, enabling your line of sight to open up the pitch so you know your next pass before you even receive the ball, there is no English player who has been as consistently good at this as Carrick. Nor one who has been able play the ball quickly, with both feet, between the lines to attacking players with short incisive passes – which don’t look as fancy as a 60-yard diagonal pass (though Carrick could also play those with ease) but hurt the opposition defence so much more.

There could be no greater compliment than the one paid by Pep Guardiola, who has said Carrick would be the only one who would have got into his wonderful Champions League-winning Barcelona team that they put on a masterclass against United at Wembley in 2011. For a player in the role that Guardiola made his own – never mind the coach’s part in the emergence of Sergio Busquets in that Barcelona team – there can be no higher praise.

The statement made by José Mourinho that after the end of this season he expects Carrick to join Manchester United’s coaching staff was no shock. If he displays in his new coaching role his football intelligence and technical understanding in the way he did as a player I wouldn’t be surprised to see him develop top young players and then coach or manage at the very top.

Perhaps then one day we may appreciate him as much as we should have in his playing days, though not as a player but as a coach/manager instead.

THE GREATEST STAGE FOR SHOWMAN ALEXIS

With so much focus given to the finances behind Alexis Sanchez’s transfer to Manchester United, the key to the move was reflected in a different set of numbers.

In purely arithmetical terms, the signing of Alexis Sanchez was, frankly, stupefying. Even in the age of bigness, and given only the most cursory scrutiny, the numbers are nothing short of eye-watering.

Within 24 hours, over 20 million people had witnessed his piano tinkling video, #Alexis7 had become the world's most-used Twitter hashtag, a new record for 'likes' of a single post was set on the club's Instagram post and ManUtd.com had its most-read article of the season so far. For greater context, across all social media outlets, the announcement was comfortably and convincingly bigger than Neymar's 2017 move to Paris Saint-Germain - the most expensive transfer in football history.

When it became clear earlier this month that Alexis was more likely to leave Arsenal for United than long-time predicted destination Manchester City, there emerged a flimsy, but widely flaunted, concept that avarice had beaten football puritanism, and that the Chilean was moving to Old Trafford to bolster his bank balance, rather than his medal collection.

Time will tell on the latter, but the suggestion that this club can only trade on its financial clout is nonsense. The eyes of the world dart this way more than any other, and not because United sit atop Deloitte’s rich list. When the club discusses sponsorship deals with prospective partners and sponsors, the selling point is not confined to the terms on offer; association with Manchester United offers an intangible recompense. Every Premier League club has money these days - Leicester City, West Ham, Southampton and Everton are in the top 20 richest clubs in the world - but none have the prestige of United’s level.

While frothing speculation over the transfer’s total cost dominated headlines for days in advance, it’s the deal’s unfathomably vast audience which puts forward a compelling counter-argument: maybe, just maybe, Alexis wanted to join the biggest club in the country. And perhaps – again, just a thought – the kind of showman who once won the Copa America with a Panenka penalty, wanted to play to the largest audience on the grandest stage.

Plainly, Alexis won’t be earning a pittance during his time at Old Trafford. Jose Mourinho termed it “a fantastic contract.” As a world star penning what could be the final major long-term agreement of his career, arriving without a transfer fee, that was to be expected and, frankly, it seems unlikely that chickenfeed was being offered by his other suitors, or that his income at Arsenal was paltry enough to prompt him to seek out greater coin. The motives to play for United are many and varied, but it is a fair assumption that money is seldom even close to being primary.

“Since I was a young lad I’ve always said that my dream was to play for Manchester United, and I’m not just saying that because I’m here now and today it’s come true,” Alexis said in his unveiling interview. “It really is a massive club, very powerful, and so now, when I got the opportunity to come here, I looked at the badge and my hairs just stood up on end because it’s a powerful club and the biggest in England.”

He’s right. We like to celebrate our history and traditions here. The badge is emblematic of a story unlike any other in football, played out by a stellar cast. When Alexis arrived at Old Trafford, he was greeted by Sir Alex Ferguson in a theatre that has starred Ryan Giggs, Sir Bobby Charlton, Bryan Robson and Wayne Rooney, among other greats past and present. Knights of the Realm, Ballon d’Or winners and serial champions have all taken to that stage.

This is not a world which has much time for yesterday, with such onus on the future, but United are also in good shape today and well set for tomorrow. As well as walking in the footsteps of history’s greats, Sanchez now shares the same facilities as a squad which has won three major honours in the last 20 months. Yes, the history of Manchester United is cherished, but it is not in stasis. It is being updated all the time. When Sir Alex retired, Liverpool had won the most major honours in England. United now top that chart, and are also now the only club from these shores to win every available major honour. The ability of an obviously transitional team to keep stacking up the trophies is much maligned and deserving of greater recognition.

In the last four full post-Ferguson seasons, in spite of seismic upheaval throughout the club, United have won the same number of major trophies as City, Arsenal and Chelsea. Liverpool and Tottenham have been empty-handed during that period. Of course, only the foolhardy would bet against Manchester's Blues bolstering their total this season, but the Reds are also in the hunt for honours. This is a club which is competing and, with Sanchez on board, hopes of gaining more silverware this season have grown in the last week. Four months of the campaign remain and, given the Chilean’s instant uplifting impact on training sessions and involvement in two goals on his debut, there is further cause for short-term optimism.

Alexis is a world-class forward who has signed up to work under one of the game’s great managers in a squad replete with some of the most exciting and varied young attacking talent around. The Premier League is an extremely long shot this term, but the Champions League and FA Cup remain cautiously realistic ambitions for the remainder of this term. Next season, those aims are refreshed, and once again United will hold the collective gaze.

No team in England is more televised or scrutinised. Hated, adored, never ignored and all that. Not because of what the club is worth, but because of what it is. This is a special place. There is an opportunity for every player on the club’s books to keep adding to that history, to write their name into a story without equal, while the world watches. You can’t put a price on that.
