Looks like United are going to refund all ticket holders and then let them back in for free for the rescheduled game. Will cost about £3m. I wonder who will be footing that bill :lol:

Winston Smith When did the training excersise take place? Unless it was shortly before the Utd game then a lookalike bomb was sitting there for how long without anyone noticing? Surely security/stewards/cleaners etc should have noticed??


it took place last Wednesday apparently. That feels like a long time for a bomb-a-like to be left in a stadium with no one noticing.


It might do but if you've tried to hide it, how many people are in the stadium outside of game time?

You would have thought they'd have had a map or something of where they are were and you know, counted them out and counted them back in again.
you say it so much better

United could still make the champions league with a 19 -0 win...fingers crossed :wink:

I'd imagine Vangle will get a pretty frosty reception

Free tix laid on by OT
Free coach transport laid on by AFCB for those that attended Sunday.

All's well that ends well....I guess

A 26-7 win would mean a play off game between them & City to see gets 4th place!

I wonder if Mourinho's uselessness with young players will have changed.

"Will Marcus Rashford build on his breakthrough season and feature heavily under Jose Mourinho."

Ink not yet dry on his contract, and the Indy reports Jose Mourinho identifies Real Madrid striker [Benzema] as priority transfer target
The France international could line up alongside Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who is understood to be close to a move.


Loan move for Rashford?

Well, he would still get game time but might not be an altogether bad thing if he's not 1st choice striker just yet.

We don't want England's most promising young striker for a decade or more getting burnt out through overplaying.

Just a thought.

Mourinho is still a total Cnut though.

Mourinho is a football genius, I don't know he spots these unknown gems in the transfer market.

Absolutely agreed on Rashford - for me though I'd like to see him start 30 games next season (United will likely play 60 with the Europa League), not the 10 or 15 Mourinho will be likely to give him. Or maybe a leopard can change his spots, who knows.

Time catches up with every sportsman and 35 is no age to start playing in the fastest most physical league in the world - Zlatan will show some flashes of brilliance of course, but get injured a lot, prove to be luxury, then end up in China for one last pay day in 2017 so very likely Rashford will get his 30 games anyway.

The feeling I get from this is that the damage will be done to their title credentials in the games when Ibrahimovic doesn't get up to speed.
Besides, creativity seems to have been United's Achilles heel this last season. Giving Zlatan the ball and expecting him to create something seems a bit of a stretch.
