I think his contract extension with ridiculous salary (More than 200,000/week) has caused complacency in his mind. That's why he stopped trying, he stopped pressing, he stopped covering grasses... Thus why his form dropped.
Matthijs de Ligt / signs for Juventus, lowering their average age to 56

Yes, for about a third of a season, at a time when the entire team's form fell off a cliff after a turbulent year ...
That contract was one of many sabotage steps Ed took on Mourinho.
It basically told Martial and all the other players, feck Mourinho. He'll be gone before you.
This is the opposite of what Spurs did for Pochettino, Liverpool did for Klopp, City did for Guardiola.
When the club becomes political, the football suffers.
My only hope is that now that we have a bright, positive, lovable, popular manager, the club will back him against the players who don't or won't perform.

Well I hope, martial is not forced on the wing now but plays as a striker.
Peyton Manning had his sister come and setup his VCR/DVD player when he was in college, and in the NFL initially, because he didn't know how to do it himself. He's like a top 5 NFL QB all time, and one of the greatest leaders in NFL history. I don't thinking being able to do laundry is on that check list
Doesn't matter to me if a dude doesn't know how to do his own laundry, if he inspires and leads.No, Martial hasn't improved, during his best seasons at United his output has been roughly the same as the one he had during his last season at Monaco where he wasn't a starter for the best part of the season and only played 1800 minutes in the league.
She isn't. She's Keje Molenaar daughter. Ex-player of Ajax and Feijenoord. Now (football)lawyer.
He doesn't move! You can't play up front if you don't want to make any runs, not without absolutely exceptional support from midfield to draw players away from you anyway.
"As usual" feck off
Let's call a spade a spade, it was a perfectly fine example to show that the Premier League guarantees shit regarding player development.It was a pretty lazy example to be honest."As usual" feck off
Transfer Conspiracy: MdL is going to join us. All Raiola is doing right now is saving MdLs face by doing what he is right now.
By rejecting Barca, and preferring United- people would have said MdL is doing so only because of money , although I honestly think that he is rejecting them to develop himself into a world beater before moving there (like Eriksen did).
So what does Raiola do- get PSG involved as well and plant stories that PSG is offering Sanchez money to MdL. By rejecting PSG for us, Raiola and MdL can shut those people up who blamed him of chasing money

Never really seen much of this kid...is he really the messiah like the hype suggests?
He isnt coming here. Move on.
The most promising centre back in years, yes, but I'd hesitate to call him a messiah. He'd be great pickup and our best Cb since Vidic though.
He's not The Messiah, he's a very naughty boy.
Out of interest, what Reddit Tier / ITK level would one be if they were rather high and had consumed a few beers, if they were to claim that they had just spotted De Ligt in London near United’s London headquarters?

Gf too thin, zero sex appeal. Do not want.
He’s obviously projecting.
Surprised the cafe didn't pick this off of Reddit yet:
Private jet scheduled from Amsterdam to London on Tuesday. And then further travel arrangements to Manchester
De Ligt is in the US right now, but will be quite interesting if he flies back Monday or Tuesday.

Saw that in the ITK thread. Why London then Manchester instead of just Manchester? It came from Spoofex too so it has the strong wiff of bollocks about it.
Was it spoofex? Urgh really hard to believe all the stories coming from him. I prefer the succinct tid bits
That said, I prefer this fantasy land to reading about Paul Pegba and is desire for a new challenge.
Come on! It's always sunny at the Etihad.
Sorry my bad, it wasn't Spoofex. There's so much crap that I got confused. It was a new annonymous source that got in touch with Reddit mods, who they totally believe but can't reveal the information they have that would answer all questions. Make of that what you will.
This is the world we live in now. Everyone has an even easier way of getting fifteen minutes of Fame on the internet.
It could be a wild guess but hey, if DeLigt joins us in the end that's awesome
Can anyone actually see us dealing with Raiola with this Pogba crap about to kick off?
It’s Donkey Kong!
It might be posturing by us to keep him to his contract unless DeLigt is encouraged our way.
Hot off the press from PSG:
Does De Ligt count as a superstar?
Nasser Al Khelaifi said:

With Pogba issues, use of media, I don’t want Mdl..
He's never shown 'superstar behaviour'. That's a message directly to Neymar.
Unsure why people are disgusted that he might choose PSG.
1)Equally good wages
2) Win trophies. Who cares whether the league is competitive.... it's hardly the Kazakh league and we aren't winning a thing for years.
3) CL football for a high profile club
Wages aside,we can't offer this kid anything appealing.

Obviously popping into Woodward's office in London first. Come on son, get with it
