    Sadly Man U are going to be thinking like us, ie the league cup is their best chance of a trophy this season, seeing as they're in the semis already and other teams are gonna be taking the other competitions more seriously, so they'll be going all out for this as well. They're favourites atm on Skybet, just slightly ahead of us.

    Yeah, see I think I'd have actually rather drawn them in the semis, as I'd fancy us to be able to frustrate them at OT and beat them at home... I have bad memories of one off big games against that lot.

    Man U have just signed Wout Weghorst, interesting signing cos he looked proper dross when he was playing for Burnley, but I guess Ten Hag thinks he knows how to use him.

    I must be tripping and off my tits. To me it looks like Man Utd have replaced Christiano Ronaldo with Wout Weghorst.

    Mate, If someone asked me in December

    What is the more likely scenario?

    Me dressing up as a monkey, shaggin Laura Woods, cumming inside her, sticking my thumb up her creampie then rubbing my thumb across her forehead whilst shouting "SIMBA" or........ Man Utd signing Butland and Weghorst I would have backed myself

    He's a decent player ... was surprised to see him at Burnley tbh... fancy he'll score a void few at Man united but I hope he flops

    What were they missing? A gormless lanky **** who couldn't score for **** for Burnley?

    Yep I guess Man U were missing that, but I don't think they really needed it...

    Quite the technique... I'd have backed you as well. You sound like a professional.

    I'd love it if he did turn out to be a gormless lanky ****e for them, and it all went to **** - however I think he'll probably do ok in a decent side, and he will offer them a different dimension if he gets going.

    A few players would struggle there and look at players here scoring now.

    Newcastle have been buying the right players building a team that works.

    He's a proper striker they ain't got one

    What exactly is Rashford then?

    I assume Ten Hag sees something cos of the Dutch connection, but he really ain't the missing piece in the jigsaw.

    Would you rather rely on Martial and Rashford to niggle it up and knock folk about as a bit of a change, or have someone like Wehghorst for that? He's no Ruud Van Nistelrooy, but I think it's a decent option for them personally. Doubt he'll set the world alight, but when their board aren't going to splash out, it's not a bad move.
