Good point. You hear similar sentiments about Memphis as well and I'm pretty sure there will be some humble pie about him in the coming years.

Agree. At his best he's brilliant and if Mourinho wants to sign him then he obviously feels last season was just a blip.
It would almost certainly mean the end of the road for one or two of our current midfielders.
Good. Most of them have been fecking shit.
I don't want Matic here either. I can't see Chelsea selling to us tbh
Who exactly is better than him that is available? Who is that player that is available that has his composure,defensive contribution and passing ability?
He was the best holding midfielder in the season they won the league.
@Martial it just prove how fickle football fans are,He is better than krychowiak who has very little poise on the ball and is more of a spoiler.And Kante isn't a deep lying playmaker, people will want to mourn if their favourite muppet dream isn't linked to the club.Some of the posters that are against Matic ' s transfer are those who are very happy and positive about Baily's transfer despite him having one notable senior professional season and glaringly raw.
I wonder if Matic is what we really need given that Schneiderlin and Matic have similar weaknesses I.e. They rely on other midfielders for the majority of the 'playmaking'. We need a hardworking 8 not another 6 IMO. Would be very surprised if this move happens.
Matic will be 28yrs old this summer which is alright and if it mean we get rid of Fellaini then it's good.
But hopefully it doesn't mean the end of Schneiderlin.

Apart from Hazard if there was one player who downed tools for Mourinho last season it was Matic, the links are strange
Well, I wrote pure DM, and as a pure DM Krychowiak is better, with a lot more pace and aerial strength. For box to box midfielders we already have Schneider and Herrera.
Edit: And also seriously looking into Gomes if the rumours are to be believed.
So if we were linked with Hazard you wouldn't want him? I don't get why Matic is suddenly a bad player because of one bad season
Matic and Gomes are left sided midfielders. Wonder if that's what Mourinho is looking for.
Don't think that's the point, the point is would Mourinho want him if he stitched him in his last season.
I'd definitely take him, and I wouldn't sell if I was Chelsea.
I remember Jose subbed him on then hooked him off after a few minutes in a game for Chelsea. Didnt seem that impressed with him last season and benched him quite extensively when they were struggling.
Doubt there is anything in this Matic stories. It's LVG and all the Dutch players we were linked to.

Ah I see now. Just seen a lot of people saying they don't want Matic, don't get it at all. We have the chance to sign a premier league winning DM. Just because we have Schneirderlin, he's surely an upgrade on him even when Schneirderlin
Mentioning whether a CM or CB is left or right should be band until we have drank the LVG years away.Just can't see Chelsea selling Matic.
hehe
I remember that. Incredible. Can't see him being that high up on Jose's list.
We have a similar player to Matic already no? Playing both him and Morgan would be incredibly defensive. Has Mourinho not usually preferred someone with more on the ball talent as one of his midfield 2 - Alonso, Modric, Fabregas?
Good. Pogba is coming home.
Gomes to United a real possibility then.
What if we bought Pogba and played Morgan and Matic behind him?
Pogba.Oh man. I like Pjanic. Well, I guess that leaves Pogba, Gomes, Matic, Kante,
Yeah, I thought so too. Makes no sense.
If they pay 32M for Pjanic and turn around to cheapskate with a loan to buy for Mata, I'm going to personally travel to Italy and punt them in the nuts.
Well, most have written of Schneiderlin because of one season! No need for Matic when Schneiderlin can still improve!
Physically he can play deeper but he's at his best with a free role
Pogba on the move then..
If we bought Pogba, he and Schneiderlin should both be box-to-box (Pogba being the more attacking one), with a deep-lying playmaker behind them. That'd do quite nicely I think.
Mourinho & Matic fight was prepared well in advance since Mou knew he was coming here and wanted to take Matic with him, so he lowered his value and made him transferable.
Very crafty, I like it
Juve have been chasing an AM for years. Doubt it's connected.
I don't think schneiderlin has the attacking qualities to be box to box for a team like united who are mostly on the front foot in most games and the space he is afforded is quite limited and has little or no innovation and poise on the ball.Schneiderlin's ability is very overrated on the cafe.
I was gonna say it was a bit harsh on Hillary and even Trump.
