Juan Mata - Will he be sold ?

Hello guys ! Its FF again,hope you all are doing fine.Well then lets get into the post . 

As you all know Manchester United have sacked Van Gaal and hired Jose Mourinho to replace him on a 3 year deal.Check out this post for more information on the deal.

So as you may know that Mourinho was the one who sold Mata to united some 3 years back for a lot of money when Moyes was incharge of united . 

The move to United : 

               The move did surprise most people because Mata was the star player of Chelsea at that time and was a real fan favourite among the blues.But when Mourinho took charge he benched Mata preferring Willian and Oscar in that rule stating that they had higher work rate than Mata and that his team needed players that only tracked back.It was a bit harsh on the player but fans agreed with him then because he brought results .

His performance last season :

                  Mata performed well last season appearing in 51 games scoring 11 times and assisting 9 .He also picked out a lot of creative passes with his vision but along with the team he struggled and went missing in matches where the opponents played defensive football and could not break them down.That is one part of the game he needs to improve on.

Stat Attack 

• Mata was awarded the club player of the month in September for scoring in two games and assisting in one .

• Mata scored in the FA Cup levelling the scores 1-1.

What happens now ?

               Yet again Mata is faced with the prospect of being sold by Mourinho for the same reason or reasons unknown.United fans consider Mata a integral part of the team but so did Chelsea and that did not stop Mourinho from selling him. Many will say that Mata has improved his defensive workrate and it remains to be seen if it is enough for him to remain in the starting lineup and in the club.

Potential clubs to move to :

                  There have been rumors that are linking him Barcelona and Valencia his former club that includes a swap deal for Andre Gomez whom Mourinho is said to be interested in .
Whatever happens lets hope his future is bright and does not get ruined ..





What do you think will this man decide ? Don't forget to leave your views behind in the comment !




                                                

[Transfer] Does he agree to this ? Ibrahimovic to Manchester-United !!

Hello peeps !! ready to pump out ? then lets get into the topic ;)

Now before going into the post lets go through some FAQ's 

1) Will this move happen ?
2) Will he agree to this move ?
3) Does his fans agree to this ?

Well all the questions are kinda same but yes these are the FAQ's and the answer for all these questions can only be answered by Zlatan !

But we can breakdown the so-far process and find out whether this move will happen or not !! So without further to do lets get into the post !!

Why Ibrahimovic ?

So WHY him ? lets look into that at the first place,Zlatan could fill the gap of Manchester United's failure to reach to the UCL(Champions League) 

Lets see what experts say about this move ! 

Football finance expert Rob Wilson says the 34-year-old would be United's most marketable player since Cristiano Ronaldo, and linking up with the three-time European champions would be a "match made in heaven".

And if you take a close look into his career in PSG he has scored 156 goals in 180 games which is pretty incredible !! So there is no wonder that the fans think he could do the same here too.


Does Man-Utd need him ? 

So let me be honest here,United have not performed up-to the fans expectations in the last two seasons.Most of the fans accuse the team for the poor performance,thus I would say that this move would boost up the attack of Manchester United a lot !! 

And there are no star-strikers available in the team now,thus If I were the manager I would definitely sign Zlatan and boost my attacking positions !

This would also help the team to win matches since the striker would do his part and make his presence feel when the team needs him.


The Amazing-Zlatan !! 

Some of you may ask why this heading but yes he is totally amazing when it comes to goal scoring,Ibrahimovic doesn't score ordinary goals he scores spectacular goals like free-kicks,Long-range,Back-heels,flips and scorpion goals.

So yes,no one can regret him coming to their favourite club !


His Career ,Trophies !

I mean its not just trophies but a lot of trophies ! 

He has got 30 trophies in four countries for six clubs,which is more than a WOW.So yes if this move happens there is no doubt that he would boost the club for a winning mentality and at-least secure 2 trophies a season 


What Zlatan says ? 

Even though this is a 1 month old tweet you just can't regret what zlatan says,so yea nothing much to say.

Welcome to Manchester United Jose Mourinho !

Hey guys ! Welcome back to another post of ours in which we cover yet another big news that has come out in the last few days . As you all may know from social media Jose Mourinho has accepted a 3 year deal to sign as the Manchester United manager after the sacking of Louis Van Gaal who was sacked the day before even though he won the F.A cup.Lets not get into that as that is a post on its own.For now lets talk about what this move does for the future of United and Jose. 

His path so far :

He has managed a lot of clubs in his career and the big ones include Porto in which he won the champions league with(knocking out united on the way),Real madrid , Chelsea and many other clubs in which he has won all the trophies possible there is to win. He has a great record of winning trophies and his stats prove that . He surprised everyone with his management style and proved doubters wrong when they expected him to fail at many occasions.There has been news regarding how hard his training regimes are , his style of play which is considered defensive to grind out results and that sometimes leads to falling out with players and fans but as long as he wins trophies,we are sure united fans will back him. 

Quick fact - Between 23 Feb 2002 and second April 2011 he went 150 home matches unbeaten,a streak which is applauded by many people and critics . 

The Move to United : 

Jose was sacked by Chelsea after failed to overturn their disastrous start to the season.He went on a vacation till the end of the season.The press speculated that he was waiting for the united job and that united officials had contacted him as early as January.He was finally appointed as the manager after the sacking of van gaal.He has signed a 3 year contract with a option for a 4 th year. 

Announcing the appointment, Ed Woodward said: 

"José is quite simply the best manager in the game today. He has won trophies and inspired players in countries across Europe and, of course, he knows the Premier League very well, having won three titles here.

"I’d like to take this opportunity to welcome him to Manchester United. His track record of success is ideal to take the club forward."

What the future holds :

United have slacked a little under Van Gaal and Mourinho will be expected to challenge for the title and to get them back into the champions league,winning them Europa league or the F.A cup will be a added bonus for him . He has usually employed some defensive style of play to get results and that is what the united fans will want him to change. He also has a ability to make teams counter attack with great pace which is what the old united was all about. Some fans have expressed their concerns about the young players under united and how mourinho will manage them . That remains as a question to be seen as he is known to splash the cash rather than developing players.Lets see how he manages united and whether he changes any of his tactics .

Well thats it for now from us . We will keep you updated on any new updates regarding this saga.

 SCORE :TOTTENHAM  3 - 0 UNITED


KICK OFF ! THE GAME BEGINS 

2 MINS : The possession has been dominated by Tottenham and their attacking intent is shown early as they try to attack as much as possible . 


               4 MINS : Manchester United win some free kicks in their half after finally getting some possession back.Lingard and Schneiderlien combine to set martial on a run but the shot gets blocked and rebounds for a goal kick. 

     7 MINS : Mata takes a free kick on the left side of the box . The ball is floated in to Martial at the far post who pulls it back in but spurs counter from it . Mata tracks back to defend well.

10 MINS : United get some passes together to get Fosu Mensah on a run but the shot gets blocked for a corner.

13 MINS : The United players are pressing well and maintaining width in their play and not giving tottenham possession of the ball.They look the more dangerous team in the pitch

15 MINS : United now attacking with the possession . Tottenham look sluggish and foul trying to get the ball back.

16 MINS : Tottenham win a corner and Eriksen rolls it to Danny Rose on the edge of the six yard box which gets to Harry kane whose shot gets saved by De Gea but it would have not counted any way as Kane was offside.

18 MINS : Tottenham have some possession but let off the steam due to a poor shot at the wrong time.Shame the attack ended that way .

22 MINS : United get the ball back thanks to some wonderful interceptions by Schneiderlien and now they attack and win some corners but that does not lead to anything .

Some stats - United have won 4 out of their last 5 league games 1-0

26 MINS : Tottenham regain the ball and Danny Rose does a wonderful switch to Walker on the right who passes it to eriksen who takes a shot from out of the box but it does not curve back in .

27 MINS : Lamela forces a cross in and the de gea punch goes straight to kane but Fosu mensah dives in and gets the ball.The next cross and sends lamela 1 v 1 on the far post but he misses it ! 

29 MINS : Kyle Walker tears Rojo apart on the right side and sends in a cross to kane who was waiting to tap it home but Fosu Mensah saves the day again with a wonderful interception. 

Tottenham have finally got into their stride and are slowly starting to dominate the match.

33 MINS : Tottenham keep up the tempo and press harder to regain the ball when they lose it. Fosu Mensah again prevents a cross.He's been superb so far .

 STAT - Tottenham have won just 3 of their 23 matches at home against United.

37 MINS : Lamela provides a long ball to Rose who chases it down before drifting in a cross but blind does his job and defends it. 

40 MINS : Martial gets to a promising position by intercepting a ball played back to the keeper but gets flagged for offside but turns out the ball came back of walker so martial should not be flagged for offside there.Wrong call by the linesman. 

 Mata has had to a lot of defending to keep track of the Danny Rose Threat and has done well so far.But it seems better if Lingard does that while mata focuses on getting the ball forward...Will need to see if Van Gaal changes those two up in half time.

44 MINS : Smalling fouls kane in the right of the box . Eriksen floats a good ball in but it just evades Alli inside the box but it is seen that martial did take a small touch while trying to defend it but the referee does not spot it and gives a goal kick. 

HALF TIME - Score 0-0

Tottenham have had that one clear chance which lamela missed a easy header.United are yet to have such a clear cut chance.Been a average half and needs to improve if some one wants it to win . Stay tuned for the second half .

LATEST SCORES ... LIVERPOOL 4-1 STOKE 

Second half begins... 

United make a change : Ashley Young ON , RASHFORD OFF

46 MINS : Young is starting to play in the middle of the park . Looks like a direct switch for Rashford. Really surprised by this move by Van Gaal. 

49 MINS : Spurs trying again to get Danny Rose through but and almost do it but Smalling gets across and clears. Mata is not going to win a race again Rose so that needs to be sorted ! 

51 MINS : Eriksen cuts back a ball from the left but it gets blocked and he goes direct from the rebound but that gets parried by De Gea . 

United need to start attacking from the right hand side and get Mata involved... They are being too predictable trying to get Martial on the ball too often.. Mata has been doing a lot of defending but no attacking play.

54 MINS : Harry kane gets the ball outside the box and protects it well before unleashing a turning shot trying to bend it into the far post but it goes straight into De Gea.

57 MINS : Midfield battles going on with both teams losing and gaining the ball back and forth but not anything game changing happening 

                                                           

59 MINS : Lingard trying the same thing kane tried but from inside the box but failing to hit the target by miles. Poor effort by the young lad.

60 MINS : Martial skips past 2 Tottenham players into the box from the left and shoots it but it goes straight at Lloris who parries it into Martial again who cant target the header into the goal as he was running into the ball quick. Should have scored there from the first hit after doing so well to create the chance.

62 MINS : Play held up for a few minutes as Manchester United's Fosu Mensah is down injured . He seems to be back ok after a while and some treatment. 

65 MINS : A powerful cross from Danny Rose takes a small deflection but De Gea saves it with his feet.

67 MINS : Fosu Mensah OFF DARMIAN ON 

70 MINS :  GOAL FOR TOTTENHAM !! Scored by ALLI !

72 MINS : Yellow Card for Rose .

73 MINS :  Yellow Card for Darmien

74 MINS : GOAL FOR TOTTENHAM ! 2-0 ! Scored by Alderwield from a cross of Lamela ! 

75 MINS : GOAL FOR TOTTENHAM ! 3-0 ! Scored by Lamela finishing a cross of Danny Rose ! 

76 MINS : MATA OFF DEPAY ON 

78 MINS : Almost a fourth for tottenham.. Harry Kane almost heads home a freekick  from lamela but De Gea tips it over the bar.The resulting corner also gets headed from kane but De Gea again with a fine save ! 

81 MINS : Lamela goes on a fine run by a good dribble but does not score . Unlucky ...

82 MINS : A fight between Depay and Walker .. Some push and pull leading to a yellow card for both ...

Rojo's terrible form continues .. He is the man who was marking alderwield for the second goal but he lets him get a easy header off .... Very poor for a Manchester United player .. 

86 MINS :  LAMELA OFF CHALDI ON 




88 MINS : KANE OFF SON ON 

Tottenham have absolutely destroyed the United Defence who completely switched off after the first goal went in.Very poor from United ! 


4 MINS ADDED ON ! 

90+2 MINS : Alli gets booked for diving .. It was a promising position so no need for that... 

90+3 MINS : ALLI OFF MASON ON 



FINAL WHISTLE BLOWS ! Score 3-0 ! United utterly embarrassed by Tottenham who now keep the pressure on Leicester and also their own title hopes alive..United on the other hand have suffered a huge blow to their top 4 race...

Tune in later for our match review ... Thats it for now guys ! Good bye and take care :)
