We have a better manager, arguably now better players with the two January additions (Romero, Reguilon, Bentancur, Son, Kane, Kulusevski would all get into this United side with most other positions being a toss up) and United haven't won a trophy for 5 years. But you won't hear a peep about Fernandes, Ronaldo etc needing to leave United to win trophies or links with a move to Spurs.
And he will be the same age then as when Teddy left to win it all. I can see him running his contract down knowing that next summer Levy would have to make a decision whether to take a hit for an additional 12 months.
It depends who we get in beforehand. If we get a quality striker in then it probably means we can afford to let him run down his contract. The strategy being to gamble that we win something close to its expiry and he extends, otherwise we will have to sell at some point, because any replacement would likely cost us at least £70m you'd think. It's why i'm hoping we can somehow do a deal for Dybala.
If Conte is still here and he's given a semblance of backing going to United would be idiotic. I'd argue he'd be much more likely to win here than United. History doesn't dictate the future, and even then United have won fuck all this past 5 years.
Which is what 've been hearing for months. There was even talk of a new contract, but I think it's perfectly understandable that he waits to see if Conte is backed in the Summer and the quality of players we bring in. I'd imagine his willingness to sign a new contract will be very much tied to our ambition and Conte staying another season at the very least. No mention of must qualify for Champions league, just that he wanted to see some ambition from the board. Conte is a good signal of that, now get him some quality players to bolster that stance.
Another crucial point is that he is only 25 goals now behind Greaves. If he gives us another season, the very least he is going to leave as our record goal scorer and a club legend.
Do not begrudge Zokora. He and he rest of that team had one final, and they turned up and won, because the likes of Zokora did what they had to do.
Don't watch England then!
They were beating us for fun when they were absolute shite. There is something in the water with those fuckers!!
He’d win it all with the current Liverpool team imo. He’s exactly what they need.
