I haven't followed him really since he's been away, but he looked pretty motivated this weekend.

English football is like no other, it will take time for him to adapt.

Vidic has had his appeal rejected and will serve a three match ban starting tomorrow night and there was a lot of stuff on Twitter last night about Mata and United saying we will be making a massive £37 million bid for him and that got on to many of the back pages today, United had to make a statement saying its not true...I don't think Mata is the sort of player we should be going for, he is too similar to Kagawa and Rooney, I think we should be going for players like Reus and Vidal...

Seeing that we're consistently playing a 40 year old winger and a CB in midfield, I would have to agree with you on Vidal.
Never happening though, the old lady would never let him go.
We'll probably sign Leon Osman for 25m on the last day of the tranfer window
Can't see Chelsea selling to
United either, and he's not the player we need right now.

Santi Cazorla and Robert Pires giving it to Tottenham
He apologized on Twitter saying he did not read it, but all 3 including the girl are legends now
Re-Mata doubt Chelsea would sell (although they won't play United again) as for United not needing him,Disagree United need more world class players.
It's like Arsenal not needing Ozil when we signed him, when there is a chance you can sign a player like that, you do it with your eyes shut.

Real Madrid want Wayne Rooney...

Who doesn't?
But seriously, this could be a good thing.
If Real Madrid joins Chelsea and PSG in a bidding war United could be looking at a hefty fee.

I've got mixed feelings about this, like I said before I still don't think he is a player we really need but it would galvanise the entire club like Ozil did at Arsenal, if we do sign him then I hope Moyes finds somewhere in the team for him...also it would break our transfer record...

I HIGHLY doubt that Mata is going anywhere. If he is going to leave, it will not be to a competitor in the league. Mata is not the kind of player to go to a mid table team (this season), if he is really looking for World Cup Play time, he will work hard at the currently better club to impress. That will put him much higher in the Spanish Managers list than going to a club struggling to get Euro League at the moment.
What's funny about United situation is that many of their players will take a 25% pay cut if they don't make Champions League. 2 things come to mind. 1. The players must be trying to keep that 25% of money and are clearly just not good enough. 2. How many will leave after losing a good chunk of their money.

That also makes this more questionable to me - spending 35M on a player who in reality is not going to fix their situation in any way, and all the while when they may also lose a lot of money by not getting into the CL. It makes this financial irresponsibility that much worse.

Looks like it's done, great signing in my opinion. Mourinho you 🤬

United is not competing for the title this year.
Also, we play City and Arsenal later on so strengthening United could actually be in Chelseas best interest.

Not believing anything until it is on BBC. Which it's not yet. Chelsea even made a statement yesterday that he was not for sale.

You guys have money whores, don't worry. They'll come out after the end of the season. We already know one, RVP.

Nostradamus over here...
United XI:
--------------De Gea---------------
Rafael----Smalling--Evans----Buttner
---------Carrick-----Fletcher--------
Januzaj-------Kagawa--------Welbeck
-------------Hernandez--------------
I hope Kagawa plays centrally and Welbeck on the left.

Yeah take it with a pinch of salt, Graeme is reliable but sometimes gets it wrong.

Over Half an hour gone, 0-0 is the score, United had one or two good chances but Sunderland look pretty good...
Yes! Jonny Evans 1-0!
Martin Tyler just said that Mata will have a medical tomorrow ahead of a £37 million move....
