Well none of us would be surprised at anything from that rag.

[Buzzo]

Yeah that is shocking. Bit nothing seems surprising from them. Making the news not reporting it

Lukaku - fastest player to 20 goals in Inters history

Shows how **** the Italian league is but still gonna use it to wind mancs up.

In happier times for Manchester United, it was reasonably common for Paul Scholes or Michael Carrick to play over 100 passes in a single match. Even then, however, their figures tended to be inferior to those of Xavi Hernandez and Andres Iniesta from the days when tiki taka was all the rage at Barcelona.

Andreas Pereira’s statistics are not quite so impressive.

So far this season Pereira has averaged 32 passes a game in one of the poorer United teams in memory. There is only Aaron Wan Bissaka who has lost the ball more times and, of all the players in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team who have made 50 passes or more, Opta’s number-crunchers show Pereira has the third worst passing accuracy at the club. Against Wolves last weekend there were 14 different occasions when he gave away possession.

It has left Pereira straying dangerously close to being the player the Old Trafford crowd distrusts the most and, ordinarily, it might be possible to feel a measure of sympathy for him. Not so much, though, after seeing the photograph posted on his own Instagram page this week of him with “Tiki Taka Legend” inscribed next to his name on a 24-carat gold phone, below.

Reporting United are keen on signing Grealish in the summer but wait for it...... they expect to receive around £150m for Paul Pogba , who only has 12 months left on his contract I can’t imagine anyone offering that sort of money especially with 12 months left

[fah-q]

Who the **** would want him? £150m for that lazy ****, not even Mike Edwards could squeeze that much out

[SB]

I know it’s deluded of anyone to think they could get that for the parasite. With one year left he’d fetch what, £40m tops? Milan will offer to take him on loan for 12 months no doubt

And i thought we were sometimes deluded, On old thread bump on whether they would swap Martial for Messi

Jesus, I'm sure we've all had some bad hot takes on here but that takes some beating

They all still rate Martial far higher than he deserves too. The fee at the time they signed him was crazy high and he'd only scored 15 career goals.

He's only averaged a goal every 3.4 games at Man Utd. The most he's scored in a season for them is 17. No idea how that lad thought he was suddenly going to consistently double that for an underperforming team

Shades of the Blue****e saying they wouldn't swap Jelavic for Suarez.

For what it's worth I rate(d?) Martial. I think Klopp would have him playing at a far, far higher standard than he ever has for them.

You look at the managers he's had since he signed for them. He never really stood a chance.

[Pablo]

The Jelavic one was a hell of a shout

Martial comes across as a bit of a luxury player for me. He's very talented and capable of great goals etc but I couldn't envisage him putting in the hard work tracking back and blocking passing lanes that the likes of Salah and Mane routinely do.

One of my favourite examples of mass delusion ever
