Fellaini is a bit unfortuante because not only was involved an a drawn out transfer saga, which a player of his "talent" shouldn't, but he's also found most of his game time being restricted to playing in a deep lying role. Fellaini up front in an attacking position can give you another option, he can score goals, but he gives away loads of fouls. I always wince when I see him brought on to see a 1-0 lead out, but when he's brought on to help get a late goal he can make a difference.
He's in no way a United standard player, but he hasn't been played right IMO by Moyes, Van Gaal or Mourinho. I won't miss him at all, but he could have been considered less of a flop had he not given away so many penalties and dangerous free kicks thanks to being played defensively. Matic I hope will allow Pogba to get forward and move around the pitch freeley, I think we'll see a better Pogba and a better Mhikitaryan this sesason.
On another note, we just beat Valerenga 3-0, Fellaini, Lukaku and McTomminen the scorers. Valerenga didn't get much of a chance, based on the way we played we'll win the leage by a gazillion points (assuming the rest of the leage play like Valerenga), just give us the title now lads
.
That match was nothing more than a run out for fitness, but that McTomminen looks half decent, maybe he can step into the first team a bit this year.

How true is that given that it's an unsubstantiated Twitter account and not the club themselves?

A video I've watched recently has really tickled me; it's from 2007/08 when the Ireland job was vacant and Terry Venables was rumoured for the job.
Eamon Dunphy doesn't hold back with his thoughts on Terry Venables.

Man United have announced the signing of Nemanja Matic from Chelsea for £40 million, three year deal, will wear number 31, Its a lot of money for someone who is approaching 29 years of age but he is the sort of player we need now, not two or three years in the future, and having him bossing the midfield will hopefully free up Pogba and/or Herrera to cause havoc, I really think this is a good move. 👍
The bad news from United today is that Phil Jones and Daley Blind are complete pillocks!. ...

Freddy Adu, that name brings back some late night football manager memories.
I find it funny that Javier Hernandez said when leaving Manchester United that he is leaving the league because he doesn't want to play against them. Yet here we nearly are at game 1 of the season and his first game for West Ham is away at Old Trafford vs Manchester United.
I honestly wouldn't have minded seeing him back, but I doubt he'd wanna go back to the bench/late sub role again.

The Leagues that seem to be doing better then England already with much lower budgets will just take off even more.
But most teams are significantly more Conservative then they have been in the past, sure the transfers are high but they are nothing compared to the percentages that where being pulled 10-20 years ago, if there is any collapse it will come from the lower end of the premiership and higher championship teams fighting for the EPL TV Pie, I do think though that long term it will start to shrink the differences of teams that will get promoted and relegated till the championship is just filled with rich clubs going vegas mode to get into the top flight.
Either way the money in England atleast will keep increasing, England has the advantage of the being the only top English speaking League in europe, so all of the Asian and North american growth will feed into the country they are more likely to know the language of already, it's the main reason it's the biggest now.
Outside of Europe and South America if your talking soccer/football your talking about the English Premier league, the end.
