Why is every team is asking about Anthony Matia?Please Jose,Open your eyes don’t let him go
We desperately need a DMF. Martial can go provided we get Verrati.

J. M. Does not realise how good Martial is.
If he played him regular instead of Lindgard
He would see that. It will be stupid if J M
pays 50 m for Matic when there are just as
many god players around if the 50 full time
scouts were doing their job they would be

It is better that Vidal is brought to old trafford, instead of Sanches, because he can easily combine with Pogba and the result can be very interesting .
