minority would have probably been a better term. most times when i talk to fellow united fans, they seem to have a bit of a restrained view of schneiderlin. many people like him, but not many believe he would be good enough to play regularly in the starting 11To be honest, I have the exact opposite experience. Just about everyone I've spoken to, both in real life and online, very much think he's good enough. glad to hear other people think different. could be that many people didnt see him play at southampton, therefor judging him by the few united performances. but even for us, cant remember a bad game from him. hopefully he gets a run of games

Many players under preformed last year for a variety of reasons, Schneiderlin is one of them. That being said, like many others (Memphis and Darmian are the other two major 'casualties'), he deserves a chance to prove himself in our new system because based on his time at Southampton, he is an awesome midfielder.

Stewart time to close this tread, believe it or not but transfers are closed for this season. Time to start the winter 2017 transfer tread, but with our squad I guess it's only going to be 10 pages long. So we can just bring it over to the Rooney tread

Schneiderlin was suffocated like many other players under van ballbag and should be given the chance to shine, he was great for Southampton and he will come good under the right man im sure. Are we still doing the Van insertnamehere thing? So childish You need to lighten up

Rustin Cohle's Guide to Summer Solace: So - let's see how we did. Oops. I would normally give this 0/10, but as it happened it didn't really stop us, so I'll be generous and say 5/10. Got our man and got him as early as possible (too early really considering how those reports came out). 10/10. Sadly he's still here. Like Step 1, I would normally give this 0/10, but he did get the required players in this summer so I'll give it 5/10. Whilst Griezmann was my first choice, we managed to get not one but two top players here (Mkhi and Ibra), so that makes up for having to wait another year for my greasy man. 10/10. Kept him with no fuss whatsoever. 10/10. I had no idea who Bailly was when I wrote this, but I sure as shit do now. This one could be our best business of this summer in the long term, but he misses out on full marks because he'll piss off to AFCON every other year. 9/10. Well, as you can see, I didn't think Pogba was even remotely possible. The fact we got him still astounds me. 20/10. We ticked off more than one! Goes to show how much can change in 6 months. Our final score is 69/70, and if you focus solely on the players and manager it becomes 59/50. I think we can all agree we've done pretty damn well with incomings, all things considered.

C'mon guys...put the handbags away... No harm, no foul...let's move on... It's all about opinions and having differing opinions is healthy...please don't over-police this place... van kissandmakeup!

N’Golo Kante has revealed he rejected the advances of Jose Mourinho and Manchester United to join Chelsea this summer.
Chelsea signed Kante in a £30million deal from Leicester this summer after the midfielder had starred in the Foxes title-winning campaign.
And the France international says he also had interest from Mourinho, but he was convinced to move to Stamford Bridge by Antonio Conte.
“It was amazing to have Mourinho call me, even though I’d been warned before how he would appeal to me,” he said.
“I listened to his arguments about why I should move to United.
“But at that time I was hesitant between staying at Leicester or leaving for Chelsea.
“My discussions with them were already well underway. But when I spoke, I had a good feeling with Conte.”
Kante has impressed since joining the Blues, keeping Cesc Fabregas out of the starting XI after forming a central midfield partnership with Nemanja Matic.
Speaking about life at his new club, the 25-year-old said: “At Chelsea I’m in a star-studded dressing room.
“Being the star of the game doesn’t interest me. That’s the highest level, unless you have exceptional qualities.
“Yes, I feel I’m a pretty complete player, but I’m not an outstanding player.
“Someone like Riyad Mahrez, yes, he has a real technical talent.”

Guess who Bleacher Report are saying is Mourinho's number one target next summer. WHO DO UNITED WANT? With the 2016 summer transfer window over, attention now turns to the business that really matters. The actual football? Erm, no. It’s the 2017 summer transfer window, actually. And the world of football transfer rumours has already managed to whip itself up into a frenzy which promises to continue for 12 full bloody months. Many, many outlets are reporting the news that Manchester United want Antoine Griezmann next summer. The appeal is obvious. The France international has been a revelation at Atletico Madrid, scoring 25 and 32 goals respectively in his last two seasons for the club. He followed that up with six strikes at Euro 2016. Along with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, he is the closest United will get to a potentially available proven goalscorer. The key point is that Griezmann is not available now, of course. He is happy in Spain, and rejected chances to move this summer. Matters could change in a year, claim Bleacher Report, from whom the report emanates. Draw your own conclusions
