Mild. Boring. Dad. Man Utd. Not a lot else going on. Doesn't proof read posts.

My son couldn't understand my excitement at our hotel having a Sharp television.

"Daddy, worst TV ever! It doesn't even have Disney+"

Personally, I'm taking it as a sign that the good times are back.

Are Utd the only side to have ever beaten Crystal Palace at Wembley?

Me and my son chanting:

"Miss! Miss! Miss!"

followed by Salah blazing it over the bar will be a hard moment to top this season.

Very true.

It's just that we haven't been signing the big stars.

Maybe goalie is the one position you don't mess around with - forget potential and just buy someone with a proven track record?

These Donnarumma links feel slightly out of step with our recent signings.

Wonder if the rumours are coming from his agent?

Yes, he's only 26 but he must be on big money at PSG.

Also, I think Enrique dropped him a few times because he's not the best at playing out from the back.

Can speak English?

I can see why Utd are looking to sign de Gea back.

Great back up keeper.

Play him in games against good pressing teams where we we're not going to play out from the back.

Danny Welbeck is there too.

Can Ε eΕ‘ko speak English?

Apparently de Gea didn't get on the flight back to Florence and is currently undertaking a medical.

10% of the population didn't know that was tomato soup?

Seriously?

Even I got that one!

Utd have made contact with Brighton.

Fingers crossed they get the deal over the line for a decent fee.

It'll be great to see Welbeck back in a Utd shirt again.

Yeah the system isn't clicking yet but I see some real positives.

For the first time in a very long time the players look like they're playing without fear.

Hope the players can keep that spirit going throughout the season.

Cunha needs a goal, assist or even just a moment to get jim involved this game. Been very quiet.

We need a right footed Amad to play at ring wing back.

Mbeumo likes to cut in on left foot, so we need a right footer to go outside him.

That Ε eΕ‘ko kid is either a very good actor or he is absolutely delighted to be signing for us.

Look at that smile!

Erik looks like he's gained some weight.

Anybody else's stomach feel like it's upside down?

This is not going to end well. Got a feeling there's a rough night ahead.

If I don't make it through this time, then best of luck to you all. Enjoy number 21.

Smart.

I've long thought Utd would start doing this to keep within PSR.

I wouldn't begrudge Mainoo wanting to leave.

He seems like a good lad, and it feels like we won't be playing to his strengths.

I really hope Amorim finds a way to get him in the team that utilises his abilities...but at the moment it looks a bit square peg round hole.

Neither of them enjoy pressing. They try to do it but it's just not something that is natural to them.

All they want to do is smash the ball in the back of the net. I can relate to that.

He either rides out his contract, or he leaves and we pay the difference on his salary for the next year.

Casemiro may well be a good guy but there's no way his agent will let him walk away from Β£300k per week.

Garnacho needs to play for a team that sits in a low/mid block and then counter attacks.

He's not suited to one of these modern high pressing teams. (Much like Rashford)

Yeah, but what if we did win the league this season?

How good would that be?

I caught myself feeling positive about Utd's season earlier today.

Don't worry, I soon snapped out of it.

Remember the golden rule - Wait 2 years before you judge a transfer window.

Tapping up Ε eΕ‘ko was a smart move. It prevents Leipzig from having a bidding war between us and Newcastle.

I reckon Leipzig, Brentford, Brighton and other clubs with similar models etc are going to complain to UEFA about this if it becomes a trend.
