Ohhhh boyyy. Cracking picture. Seeing as the press are suggesting we will sell Martial to fund Bale we need as much good Karma as we can for this to not happen. Don't change it yet pretty please. |

COLE: LUKAKU HAS IMPRESSED ME THIS SEASON
Manchester United ambassador Andy Cole has endorsed Romelu Lukaku’s debut season at Old Trafford, stating his admiration for the Belgian scoring 26 goals as a lone striker.
Lukaku found the net once again during Saturday’s 2-0 Premier League win over Swansea City and, impressively, the 24-year-old now has 11 goals from 15 fixtures across all competitions in 2018. Cole’s best tally with United was in fact 25 goals during the 1997/98 season and, while appearing on The Paddy Crerand Show earlier this week, he expressed his great respect for the club’s latest no.9. “Lukaku has had a very good season,” Andy opined on MUTV. “I think it has probably been a lot tougher than he would have thought and now he appreciates that you can't have a weekend off at Manchester United, which he could have done at his previous clubs Everton and West Bromwich Albion. "Here, you can't afford to do that. But he has played the majority of games and that says a lot about him. He has not been injured and, for his first season, I think he has been top drawer.” Cole famously played alongside Dwight Yorke, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Teddy Sheringham in the club’s iconic Treble campaign and, as he states, Lukaku does not have such a partnership this term. “It is difficult to be a lone striker and especially if you don't get the service at times,” said Cole. “It could be described as the graveyard shift because it is very, very tough. Sometimes people have questioned Romelu this season and said he has not done this or that, but you have to be brutally honest: if you don't get the service as a lone man then it is very, very tough. “That is why I keep saying he has done very well this season. He has already got himself 26 goals in his first season playing for United as a lone striker. I am not saying we create a million and one chances for the boy either. He has done really well and fair play to him for his goal return.” ‘I’M A DOUBT FOR THE DERBY!’
Cole looked fit and well during his MUTV appearance, which is fantastic news following his kidney transplant surgery one year ago. The former England international was upbeat about his health, too, but joked he must be considered a “doubt” for United’s remaining matches this season. “I'm not too bad,” he happily reported. “It is a day by day process. Some days are good and some days are bad, but on the whole I am very happy with where I'm at. But I'm a doubt for this weekend's game and probably a couple of weeks yet!” 'THIS SEASON IS POSITIVE COMPARED TO LAST'
"You can see the development in us. But we have to brutally honest and say the other part of the city has been absolutely fantastic, with the football they've played, and the fact they've only lost one league game this season says it all. It is a gap that needs to be closed and hopefully next season we will do. "If we do finish second then we can look at it as a positive, even though finishing second is not what everybody wants to see at Manchester United. But it is a positive compared to last season.” www.manutd.com/en/News-And-Features/Football-News/2018/Apr/Andy-Cole-praises-Romelu-Lukaku-for-scoring-26-goals-in-debut-United-season.aspx?newsid=2F5AF8A7-557B-4477-B0D9-80F1F9785E04

He made the critics eat their words. |

Dumped Raiola and signed up with Jay-Zs new agency apparently. This is brilliant. There are rumors that Pogba is following suit . If Pogba does follow suit , I'd be over the moon. Them severing ties with that gluttonous , odious swine would be the best thing ever. |

'Defiant ones' on Netflix is a good watch |
