People really have any expectation Ancelotti would leave Real for United. Why?
There is a possibility they do not win La Liga/Decima and he gets sacked. I would love it if he took over United.
Wenger and Ozil to United.
One out of two ain't bad :wink:

Well, Klopp has ruled himself out of becoming Man Utd manager.
If they stick with Van Gaal, Utd will no doubt have to wait till the end of the World Cup before they can bring him in. Giving himself less time and leverage to spend that epic warchest being touted by everyone!
lol @ ppl saying Wenger, no chance!
If I was the Man Utd board, I would probably either wait for Real to sack Ancellotti and then sign him OR get Martinez from Everton ...
Personally, reading that I don't view that as ruling it out. Klopp basically just said that there hasn't even been an offer. If United signed Martinez, that would really be something. Even imaging Wenger taking over MUFC is weird. I think LVG would tell MUFC board who he wants, and I think there are going to be some players the club will try to sign regardless, ex. Luke Shaw.
What do my fellow MUFCers think of (touted signing) Adam Lallana joining?
I think if he is 1 of 2-3 midfielders joining, that would be ok, but on his own I'd be hugely disappointed. He is a step up from what we have now, but that is not saying much. We have been linked to Fabregas, Reus, Kroos, Koke etc- Lallana is not that level.
.....and 55million for Lallana/Shaw would make me cry a little. They are players who could get us back into the top 4, not challenge for all the big honours, imo.
I would really like it. He is English (so overpriced, already), but I think he would slot in well, and if the new manager has Giggs/Scholes/Butt around AL would improve learning under them (duh). AL is not the level of those guys, but AL/Kroos would be a huge improvement over what we have now. I do not want to see the club even waste their time w/ Cesc. 55 million quid for Shaw/Lallana would be fine, b/c Shaw is 30 of that. 25MM for a English midfielder who is enterting the prime of his career? I'll pay that.
You think 55million for the 2 is ok? 35 million seems a lot more reasonable to me..............suppose it depends on the budget. I've heard anything from 80m-200m.
35MM for those two? Come on man, So'ton can get 30 for Shaw by himself. Shaw is 18 and LB is settled for 10+ years (hopefully).
Wonder what team Giggs will play- we have 3 "home bankers" in a row now. Could easily see us picking up 9 comfortable points.
DDG, Rafa, Rio, Vidic, Evra, Carrick, Fletcher, Januzaj, Wazza, Welbeck, RVP/Chica. Honestly, I hope it is an all-out-attack.
