It’s ok to say you fancy him, you won’t get in trouble
Where’d he get that grey jumper from? Probably look like a bag of shite on me but I like it
Fashion Utd
From now onwards into the feathery future, we are dedicated followers of… coool looking hairy guys?
Just in case, I vote that the caf censor "Bearded Fraud" and "Fashion Fraud" as a preemptive measure.
Karl Lagerfeld is my idol
Beard is best
As Ronaldo said anything yet?

Probably just a blank with a logo on stuck on it. Can probably find it for less, unless you particularly like the logo.
Release the MUTV interview already. I want to hear him tackle Stewart Gardner's hard-hitting questions. Amorim's first big test.
Oh, he's gone as well I see now.

"Ruben, big move, Lisbon to Manchester, how are you finding the weather?"
We should've sacked him the moment he came up with that idea.
I see a lot of potential line ups everywhere, on sky sports, fan channels and on here putting Garnacho at wing back...
I can't see him playing there. He's one of our biggest goal threats - you need him closer to goal.

"If I knew you would come I wouldnt have flown to South Africa" followed up with quick blinks in succession - a morse code for someone to come and rescue him.
Why would anyone wear skull as a logo? It just makes you look like a baddie.
Garnacho should be developed into a Salah, Sanchez type forward not as a wingback.
Amad being more a creator can play deeper.
If you're talking about the 2 midfielders that play in front of the defensive line, his preference goes to pace. They're charged with covering most of the midfield, recovering possession and pressing opponents. What they do with the ball is less "important", he's used players like Matheus Nunes, who keeps the ball well and advances with it, or players that just receive and pass.
If you're talking about the 2 attackers/attacking midfielders behind the striker, his preference seems to be creative players. Number 10 types, that can assist, shoot, dribble, etc.
If you're talking about the wide players, that's more tricky. I'd say his main preference is probably speed/pace, as they're pretty much going to be running up and down the entire wing during the whole game. It's telling that a lot of his subs are these players, as it's normal that their stamina drops before the game ends.
Yes it does because English is a stupid mongrel language.
INE can make an AYN sound like spine or it can make a EEN sound.
For example, Marine. It’s not pronounced Mah-rhyn, it’s Mahreen.
Just to be extra confusing INE can also say IN-EE as in Aborigine, or also simple IN sound as in adrenaline.
Make of that what you will! Written language is hard!
You guys do love your heteronyms.

I definitely do. New man crush.It’s ok to say you fancy him, you won’t get in trouble
‘Saudi Arabia’
Not a fan of the way the club socials are hyping him up. Let the man work first, before you whip our stupid gullible fan base into a frenzy.
It's just a video of his arrival, similar to the pictures that were published.
There is an international break, too, so you know that anything is the news whether the club wants it or not.
Fair enough, I was gonna write that English pronunciation doesn't really make sense but couldn't be botheredYes it does because English is a stupid mongrel language.

I have some familiarity with this as a linguist, languages in general have these stupid exceptions all the time. However, in this case I'd still say that -ine wouldn't work as it would be most likely to be read as you would read spine.Ashworth talking about foods @0:49. He is an awkward man isn't he?
Cheers - How important is dribbling and crossing for a wide player in his system?
Do they dribble, or mostly just receive the ball after running "behind" the defence? What type of player is the perfect fit for this? A winger or a wingback? or a "pure" wide midfielder?
So few of us can speak a second language as we are still trying to figure out our own.You guys do love your heteronyms.

I'm an Irishman that doesn't even speak his own language but that's a whole other conversation.
Anyway, welcome to the caf and sorry for pinching your very nice genius (we hope) manager.
Yes, he went on gardner leave.
I like the way he introduces himself to the staff by saying his name. Small details like that are immediately important.
How else would he introduce himself?!
“I. AM. JOB!”
Hyping him up is stupid but understandable for a fanbase looking for a messiah. But I dont get how can you say he is a “nobody”, he has been the league winner multiple times as manager. Who cares how he was as a football player.
Did he pronounce it right though? Not so sure.
So was Ole (in Norway) and he even won the FA youth cup here, but he was still a physical Ed teacher to some.
Nobody is harsh but he still has plenty to prove, especially with a giant dinosaur of a club like United.
Don’t ask Portuguese people to pronounce his name, they haven’t got a clue!
Yes that’s all I was saying, he wasn’t a “nobody in portugal”
So did LVG and Jose.. the difference here is that he didn't win it years ago.. he isnt past his best, he is probably not even in his prime.
He left a club where they hadn't won a league in 19 years, has won 3/4 cups as well and is currently leaving a team 10/10 wins.
Ashworth is like an even spookier looking version of Jeremy Hunt
Most of the players that do that position are wingers, so they're fast with the ball and can dribble, cross and even shoot.
But not all are wingers, sometimes he uses wingbacks or even midfielders, depending on the opposition and also injuries/discipline.
We've had a ton of players there. In the 1st title run we had Nuno Mendes (now in PSG) and Pedro Porro (now in Spurs).
This year we have Geny, Quenda, Araujo, Nuno Santos (now injured), Fresneda, Matheus Reis (plays CB sometimes too) and Esgaio.
They're not all wingers, some are more defensive in nature, but most are.
I'd say the most typical representation of a player for those positions is Geny Catamo, so if you want, you can check his video highlights to get an idea of what they do there.
I'd put a link to a couple, but I don't have the privileges yet.
We knew it was coming, we were just hoping he'd stay til the end of the season...
I do really hope INEOS doesn't screw it up.
