so Mourinho+Ibrahimovic next season ... lovely. Hate both, but I'll take it over LVG every day.
I get that the guy that reported this is normally very credible, but the fact that no other reporting agency has mentioned even a whiff of this is unusual.

well it was the same with Martial last year. Not saying that this is a sure thing, but I wouldn't dismiss it either. I guess we'll see.

I would imagine that nothing will be official until after the final this weekend. It's probably a done deal for Mourinho with everything but the actual signature kind of thing.

United know they have to win 19-0 right? Maybe attack a bit?

Maybe they're counting on 18 Bournemouth own goals?

Lol if that's De Gea's final moment in a United jersey.

Van Gaal is gonna start Romero just to troll United fans one last time.

My Dido was a huge soccer fan and follow both teams so I basically decided instead of just watching the BPL I'd follow a specific team, and I've read a hilarious and great article about why people should be a City fan not a United fan. So I ran with it.

What would the bet be?

That said, with the tenured vet vs the unproven rookie; I'll settle with 2:1 odds. $40 if Martial wins, $20 if Aguero wins.

A win, is most goal scored over the season. Cups (both domestic, & european), & Premiereship.

to be fair, Martial is playing under van Gaal, which is the equivalent of playing a FIFA computer game at the "legendary" difficulty level

Although, the caveat "bet is off if either player misses 25% or more of the season due to injury"

http://www.transfermarkt.com/sergio-.../spieler/26399

League Cup 2 of 4, 50%
FA Cup 1 of 3, 33%
Premiereship 6 of 32, 19%
Champions League 3 of 9, 33%

Total 12 of 48, 25%

In fairness, some of those games he left during the game.

I'll still pay the bet.

I still feel like he doesn't deserve to win the bet just because of this crazy claim which started the whole argument to begin with.

Top 10....sure .... 2nd best in the world behind only Messi...ridiculous.

Arsenal sign Granit Xhaka from Borussia Mönchengladbach. Not sure how high the fee will actually be, but it's probably around €35m plus add-ons.

Think that's a fantastic signing for Arsenal.

I still can't quite get over my dislike of United from growing up around glory hound fans of theirs (to be clear not saying anybody here falls into that camp, they were just the default club people who knew nothing about the EPL said they followed/bragged about in my hometown) and would love to see Palace win their first FA Cup today. Realistically though, I think United is going to stroll and get 2 or 3 today. Hope to be wrong.

Fellaini in! Elbows up!

They were just showing a PL highlight package and I think Man U's highlight was Fellaini elbowing someone in the face.
