Michael Carrick has signed a one year extension. I guess that's a good thing because he can still be useful in a very limited role.

Shrapnig posted:United have fuckall for cover in center midfield since they sold Schneiderlin and Schweinsteiger so that's not the worst thing in the world. Yep, that's the limited role I hope he'll play. If he's the first choice in any kind of strategy at this point, someone's hosed up.

PirateBob posted:Griezmann has tweeted "now more than ever, Atletico" He could've been great or he could never have fit into United's weird-rear end system. I guess we'll never know, but I really hope United have a backup plan because the team kinda does need a winger in addition to a bunch of other players. E: more than anything I'm glad this nonsense got wrapped up in early June instead of dragging on until the end of August or something.

Apparently papers in the UK reporting that Wayne "I've had loads of offers and just have to decide between them" Rooney has in fact zero (0) takers and is going nowhere. He's starting his pre-season training in June in a desperate effort to reach some semblance of fitness in hopes of getting a place in Mourinho's squad next season. Frankly I'll be livid if he does end up robbing game time from someone with an actual future, like Pereira or Gomes. Just gently caress off already, Rooney.

Gigi Galli posted:Does Rooney still start for England? I'd imagine he'd be doing everything possible to get a consistent starting position rather than just making GBS threads it up on the bench. Where, though? There's talk that Everton wanted him but balked at his wage demands, so short of China I don't think there's many big paydays available for Rooney. And if he goes to China, I don't think he's starting for England anyway.

Jason Sextro posted:wanna see Rooney leave United so I can see the United people go on about how he was never that good anyway He was good, but never quite as good as he had the potential to be. Then towards the end of the Fergie era his years of lovely living started catching up to him and he went downhill fast. These past few seasons he's been downright poo poo. Fergie had absolutely the right idea when he pretty much told the club to sell Rooney as he was retiring, but I kinda understand why Moyes as a fresh and uncertain manager didn't want to lose the club's biggest star to Chelsea. Still, the ridiculous contract he got from Moyes is why Rooney is now next to impossible to shift despite the fact that he hasn't been United quality (or even Premier League quality) for a while now. webmeister posted:Rooney looked totally at home playing against a bunch of retirees during Carrick's testimonial match, the pace and pressure of the match really seemed to suit him. The REALLY SAD thing about this is that actual literal retirees looked fitter and better on the pitch than Wayne Rooney who was a couple of weeks out of his most recent competitive match.

I don't think Rooney is leaving this summer tbh, and it's probably the best call for him personally. The only exception I could see would be if he got a regular playing spot on a decent/good team in a good/great league, like the Premier League or one of the top European leagues. And that doesn't seem very likely. Going to China doesn't make much sense for Rooney. Thanks to Moyes' financial wizardry he's already one of the top paid footballers in the world. He wouldn't get much of a pay raise (if any) in China, and in exchange for that he'd have to essentially give up on ever playing for England again, uproot his family for a couple of years, live in a strange culture (I don't think Rooney is the type of person to consider this a plus) away from his extended family and play in an awful league. If he's not going to be getting England call ups anyway, he might as well just ride the bench at United, get paid for very little work and hang around with his family / mates. I don't think United are getting rid of him without buying out his contract or something. I honestly think he was hedging his bets on getting a good contract from Everton or some other close by club where he could get regular starts and get back into the England picture.

Shrapnig posted:United have been linked to every single player in the world and the window just officially opened today. Calm your balls. United are linked to every single player in the world every summer. This year there were obviously some targets like Griezmann which fell through and frankly I don't have much faith in Woodward & co to begin with, much less to recover.

PirateBob posted:Wait, there's a report saying that Everton just want Rooney on loan with Utd paying half of his wages. Cheeky bastards. In that case we'd only be saving £6.25m compared to having him on the bench all season. He's next to useless, but surely that's a bad deal for Utd. Really goes to show you where Rooney's priorities lie. Dude's already rich as gently caress, has the chance to finish his career at his boyhood club while possibly making a bid at World Cup 2018 if he gets regular play time and can regain his form (lol he can't) but he's loving it all up by demanding so much money that United would have to pay half of it for it to happen.

Bacon Terrorist posted:Rooney shouldn't be starting for any Premier League team. Agreed but you'd expect that and fighting for a place at the 2018 World Cup to be the goal for Mr Captain of the English Brave Lions National Team instead of demanding such ridiculous wages that he'll be sitting in the stands at United.

curried lamb of God posted:Are United basically giving up on Tony Marshall? Yeah, it's a real head scratcher. Martial's numbers weren't great last year, but that's no wonder considering he's been shunted out onto the wings and had limited game time. I don't think he's flourishing under Mourinho's bizarre "I'll call you a soft oval office in the papers until you harden the gently caress up" man management strategy, and I'm not surprised.

Hoops posted:The antagonism that United fans feel towards one of their all time greatest players and record goalscorer has always been so bizarre. They're delighted that he's declined. Nobody is delighted he's declined. He's declined to a point where he's an active detriment on the field and still keeps getting picked for games and keeps hanging around because an incompetent muppet man gave him a ridiculous contract. We're delighted because he's finally being shipped off, some years after falling below a level required from a Manchester United player. It's not really his fault (beyond not taking enough care of himself over the years) and he was definitely great in his prime, but his prime is years and years behind him.

Sky Sports and The Sun reporting that Inter and United are either close to a deal or have agreed a £40 million deal for Perisic. The Sun are going as far as claiming Perisic is flying to the US for his medical and to meet his teammates but maybe take that with a grain of salt?

There's talk that Madrid want De Gea again, but I don't think they're getting him. He still has two years left on his contract and after the Morata debacle United probably aren't in a selling mood.
