    I don't think it's just the finishing that has improved though. His movement and game intelligence has gone up hugely. He showed for us he had the potential - playing in different positions and doing well - but he also looked like he never really progressed. Since Guardiola has had him he has been realising his potential. Even at the start of this season people thought he was going to be "bombed out". The USP Guardiola has is making the most talented players the best they can be.

    Mourinho's USP has always been getting results. He's always demanded money to spend but hasn't always spend it well. However, he has always been ruthless at junking a bad purchase and had a good eye for which players he has will: a) form par of his cult and b) do a specific job for him. He's really found a way to make Lindgard into a very effective player.
    I don't doubt that his all round game has improved but I think that is natural. He is a young players. For me he took a backward step in his last year here when we played him as a striker. The Sterling before that year clearly had a lot of potential I think he has just carried on on that trajectory
    The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

      I would argue that the one thing that seemed obvious when he was with us was that he was not a natural finisher. The fact that Guardiola has turned him into a regular goalscorer is IMO remarkable. It mostly doesn't appear that he has done it by improving his finishing per se but rather making him take different positions, make different runs, etc.

        Can't get the article up from here but, apparently Sevilla are charging United fans £89 per ticket. In response, United are charging Sevilla fans £89 per ticket and using £35 to reimburse United fans.

        I think it's a really good response to Sevilla's ridiculous ticket pricing.

          If football clubs wanted to show solidarity and be nice to their own supporters they wouldn't take the piss with season ticket holders being auto enrolled for cup games

              Defo Agreed, but Sevilla are also charging their home fans more for their home leg than normal hence UEFA not getting involved

                              Phil Neville close to landing the head coach job for the women's football team.
                              Are we winning?
