Official Man United Supporters' Thread Part 2

Don't know why we were never in for him from the start. He's an excellent player and has loads of experience in the EPL.

Would be an awesome signing.

Who can United face in the Champions League play-offs?

Manchester United will face one of 10 teams in the Champions League play-off in August, with Lazio, Sporting Lisbon, CSKA Moscow and Monaco among the Reds’ potential opponents.

United are the top-seeded club in the final qualifying round and are already joined by fellow seeds Valencia and Bayer Leverkusen, who cannot face each other. Sporting and Lazio have also confirmed their places in the play-off round, and both could meet the Reds.

Shakhtar Donetsk and Ajax will also be seeded in the draw (and therefore cannot face United) if they progress through a third qualifying round containing CSKA, Club Brugge, Monaco, Young Boys, Sparta Prague, Fenerbahce, Panathinaikos and Rapid Vienna.

The play-off round is split into two separate sections: a 'Champions Route' (for league winners in some of Europe’s lesser-known nations) and a 'League Route' (for clubs who finish second, third or fourth in the more prominent European leagues, i.e. United). The losing teams in both sections enter the 2015/16 Europa League group stage.

Still with us? The draw for the play-off round is on 7 August, with the two-legged ties played on 18/19 August and 25/26 August.

If United qualify for the group stage of the 2015/16 competition, we will be in seeding pot two in the draw (which takes place on 27 August), alongside Arsenal and Manchester City, with champions Chelsea in pot one.

THIRD QUALIFYING ROUND (ties 28/29 July and 4/5 August)
Seeded: Shakhtar Donetsk, Ajax, CSKA Moscow, Club Brugge, Monaco
Unseeded: Young Boys, Sparta Prague, Fenerbahce, Panathinaikos, Rapid Vienna

PLAY-OFF ROUND (ties 18/19 and 25/26 August)
Seeded: Manchester United, Valencia, Bayer Leverkusen, (Shakhtar Donetsk*, Ajax*)
Unseeded: Sporting Lisbon, Lazio plus the three qualifiers from the third qualifying round

* If either Shakhtar or Ajax fail to make the play-off round, Sporting will be seeded.
* If both Shakhtar and Ajax fail to make the play-off round, Sporting and CSKA** will be seeded.
** If Shakhtar, Ajax and CSKA fail to make the play-off round, Sporting and Lazio will be seeded.

Mmmmm...seems abit clearer or not?

 

[Stickfigure]

Doesn't matter who we face. If we can't make it through the qualifiers, then we don't deserve to be in the competition.

Looks a bit big for Young, i hope thats just the wrong size and not the style.

That Chevrolet sign sucks - the things money can buy

Considering what Chelsea, Bayern have been wearing this past season, this must surely be a fake... I hope.

 

[Stickfigure]

Has to be fake. It's this past season's kit with an Adidas badge and some stripes on the shoulder. Way to similar.

The collar is also slightly different, my 2014/15 home jersey has a button on the collar, either way this one still looks weak

Agreed. Looking at some of the Adidas kits of the past season, this is a very poor attempt.

I sometimes wonder if football clubs don't purposefully "leak" these pics just to get a fan reaction on social media in order to gauge whether they like the kit.

Very possible.

 

[Geselskap]

The rumours that Chelsea are interested in Falcao and possibly making a bid for a permanent move are making me feel very uncomfortable. Damn, if that happens and he settles under Mourinho...

He won't be first choice either way.

 

[Geselskap]

Would they even think of spending so much on a player not guaranteed to start every game?

He won't be first choice either way.

 

[wolverine_dcp]

Does he really wanna get on LVG bad side

That article goes on to say that both United and PSV asked that of him.

Man Utd win Gundogan race Awesome

Manchester United have beaten off competition from Bayern Munich and Barcelona to land Ilkay Gundogan. The Borussia Dortmund midfielder has agreed terms with the Red Devils and the club are preparing to announce his arrival.

Think these rumours are going to go around the whole transfer period... Very annoying. Id prefer we sign all in first week and then say we are done

How reliable is metro?
sky sports mentioned this a while back but I remember Lvg saying no buys will be made because he doesn't want to interfere with the players now

 

[mercurial]

Flip, this is annoying. I want to see some transfers being done!!! The silence is killing me slowly.
