Manchester United’s preparations for the new Premier League season are complete. The Red Devils won six of their seven pre-season games, and in the process, they looked rather convincing. Jose Mourinho is building a squad that suits his style of play, slowly but surely.
Manchester United’s second signing of the summer could have just been inadvertently confirmed by former Red Devil, Phil Neville. The defender took to Instagram to post a photo of Romelu Lukaku in our new 2017/18 home shirt, and it looks so real.
Manchester United got their bid to finish in the top four back on track at the weekend, thanks to a pretty comfortable 3-0 victory away at Sunderland. The game itself was decided when Seb Larsson saw red for a tackle on Ander Herrera, then our front line did the rest.
Manchester United have been without the services of Wayne Rooney over the last couple of weeks, and the 31-year-old’s long-term future at Old Trafford has certainly come into question. Some reports have discussed the possibility of the club captain moving to play in the Chinese Super League.
Manchester United made it into the EFL Cup final by the skin of their teeth yesterday, as Jose Mourinho’s men lost 2-1 on the night but came through 3-2 on aggregate. The work was done in the first leg, but the lads have to be careful because they came very close to letting it slip (ala Steven Gerrard).
Up until yesterday morning, it was unthinkable to discuss the future of Manchester United Football Club without mentioning Ryan Giggs. After a brief spell in the dugout during the final stages of the 2013/14 season, the Welshman was hired by current manager Louis van Gaal as Assistant Manager, a role many believe is much more akin to a managerial apprenticeship.
Ryan Giggs has already been named as Louis van Gaal’s assistant manager for next season, and we all thought that he would be bringing in his own coaches – leaving no room for the Class of 92. That may not be the case though, with the Guardian claiming that Scholes, Butt and Neville could yet be kept on the staff by Van Gaal.
Louis van Gaal is reportedly ‘happy’ to keep Ryan Giggs, Phil Neville, Paul Scholes and Nicky Butt as part of his coaching team next season, according to the Daily Mail. Van Gaal will bring in Patrick Kluivert with him as an assistant manager, whilst Ryan Giggs will take up an assistant manager role also.
Over twenty years ago Sir Alex Ferguson led a youth inspired Manchester United to Premier League glory, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Gary Neville, Nicky Butt, David Beckham and Phil Neville, all products of the Manchester United academy were at the heart of the most decorated side in domestic history.
After all-but sealing a move for Juan Mata, David Moyes is now on his next scouting mission – This time in Germany. The Scot has tonight attended Bayern Munich’s visit to Borussia Mönchengladbach in the Bundesliga. He has attended the game with coach and former player Phil Neville, and we’ll direct the possible targets here.
