    United's front four is looking quite good with them all roaming. Something to build off. Cue Mourinho ripping it all up and sticking Valencia, Rooney and Fellaini in there.
    Ripping it all up is probably the best thing the next manager can do.

    Yep. There is the odd sign of something but without the drugs, we are sluggish.

    I think it's time we threw everything into reverse and BACKED THE MANAGER. New midfielder, two new wingers, maybe a top, top centre-back, shuffle Rooney on, don't buy anybody from Everton...

    Been seeing some stories on that this very day. Makes sense, though Mourinho taking over would surely scupper that.

    Just seen that De Laet is on to win both the Premiership and Championship in the same season. Incredible.

    You're getting another three point swing just off Chelsea, we'll be baying for Tottenham blood when they come to the Bridge but practically cheering you on in the last game. It's done.

    I would rather let Anthony Martial play up front and spend the money on actual wide players.

    The 8 goals this season Martial? I suppose that can partly be attributed to terrible team performances / tactics, and the fact he's still developing. Not sure if he's an out and out striker, though.

    God it does feel close though. I'd be absolutely gutted if we lose it from here.

    We won't. Two wins and a draw will do it from here. We'll beat Swansea and Everton. We'll get more than another point from the rest, probably quite a lot more. The final whistle felt huge today. Properly under pressure to extend our lead, facing a good side chasing Europe who came for the win. But we held out.

    This lot have got what it takes to close a season out. They've done it for the past two seasons, albeit under different circumstances. Okay the prize is much bigger now, but they know exactly how to get over the line and achieve their objective.

    That's the one point that would have me believing. I probably haven't given them enough credit in being able to handle the pressure due to the unknown, but they were probably under even more pressure this time last season and came through with flying colours.

    Shame that van Gaal didn't think about signing him when they killed us in his first few games.

    He's been playing out wide all season and he's scored two goals fewer than Rooney, who has played the whole season centrally.

    He will always get you at least fifteen goals a season, but I still don't think that Lukaku will ever have enough about him to be top, top class. Martial will be.

    Only An Excuse used to do some great sketches based on Ferguson's inability to pronounce certain things. The jokes tended to be brilliantly shit too.

    He could see Jesse Lindegaard had potential apparently.

    Lukaku to United would be great but I'd rather sign Harry Kane if we're in the market for a striker. Although the latter will cost about 400m.

    Get him on the punditry. Imagine the fun he'd have with Fosu-Mensah, and Morgan Schneidstieger.

    He probably thinks Adnan Januzaj is fictional.

    Lukaku has said he wants Champions League and he has a pushy agent. United might finish 4th, but if you want Champions League you're probably gonna go somewhere that has it nailed on every season. PSG seem pretty likely.

    I could see him at Atletico. I think he'd be pretty class there. Or maybe he'll go to Italy to get racially abused.

    Atletico is a good shout, assuming whatever they get for Griezmann is enough to make Everton sell up.

    People wanting Champions League football is a bare faced lie anyway. If you wanted that you could go to Olympiakos. What they want is to be paid a lot more money, ideally to do a lot less work.

    He could be paid more at Everton than at Atletico, I reckon. His people are probably after a move to City or PSG.

    Isn't he a Arsenal fan. I remember reading it somewhere. The only reason he chose Chelsea was because of his Idol Drogba I think.

    I think Martial and Rashford both look like they'll be class. Be a shame to see a squillion quid spent on binning their chance to develop.

    Everyone always says they want to see youngsters come through the academy and establish themselves, but seemingly not at the expense of short-term success

    I'm aware Martial cost a squillion pounds himself and didn't come through the academy but I'd still prefer we gave him the chance to develop than spend another £40+m on an established player.
