SADIO MANE WANTS OUT?

Sadio Mane or Sadio money? Sorry guys, I just had to write that. Anyways, Sadio Mane was dropped in Southampton's fixture today against  Norwich City, despite the team positioned at 13th in the league. In the end Southampton went on to lose to Norwich 1-0. Right now you might be thinking, "well what's that to do with Manchester United?" There's a lot of rumours in the articles about Sadio Mane making a move to possibly Manchester United. It might sound ridiculous but what other striker is out there in the market apart from Aubameyang and Lewandowski, who are top scorers in the world but are perfectly settled in Germany, or Javier Hernandez who is shining radiantly! - what an embarrassment! It would be a dream for Manchester United to sign Sadio Mane. He's pacy, quick, strong and small and can bag goals after goals. Isn't that all we need? In conclusion, Manchester United is the home to the theatre of Dreams. Where dreams happen. Anything can happen.

WIN MEANT A LOT

The great 3-2 victory over Southampton, reactions from the players include. Firstly Anthony Martial scores two against The Saints away from home and winning Man of the Match. He truly defines the forward position. Anthony Martial has scored 3 goals in 3 games for Manchester United and is getting better and better! Juan Mata said that he has dedicated that victory to Luke Shaw who has completed his surgeries and is now recovering. Louis Van Gaal praised the performance of the team and believes that Manchester United could challenge for the title. However I personally wasn't too impressed by the defence. Manchester United are just two points behind rivals Manchester City sitting in 2nd place.

INJURY BLOW

After Manchester United's Champions League Opener 2-1 Defeat to PSV on Tuesday, Hector Moreno charged in on Luke Shaw with two legs fracturing both his legs. As they returned to Manchester the next day Luke Shaw received and operation. The 20 year old was crying in the dressing Louis Van Gaal says. The Mexican, Hector Moreno wished Luke Shaw a fast recovery. All the sport stars including Anthony Joshua, Andy Murray, Gareth Bale,  Alan Shearer, Gary Lineker, Nathaniel Clyne and also Southampton FC sent Luke Shaw a speedy recovery via twitter. The horror of the story is the mexican defender didn't receive a red for tackling with two legs 18 yards out! This injury could leave the youngster out for the rest of the season despite his top form.

MANCHESTER UNITED SCHNEIDERLIN AND SCHWEINSTEIGER! - PROBLEMS?

Manchester United are off to USA for preseason with two new faces! 
Manchester United have officially announced the signing of Bastian Schweinsteiger and Morgan Schneiderlin from Bayern Munich and Southampton. Bastian Schweinsteiger is a highly experienced midfielder, captain of Bayern Munich and the German National who he led to win the World Cup last year in Brazil. He has worked along side Louis Van Gaal and perfectly matches and fits his style and philosophy, i cant wait for next season! Morgan Schneiderlin is a player that fans of the Barclays Premier League would have known already. The French midfielder was previously linked to Arsenal but joined Manchester United. Manchester United's defence has very much improved. Morgan also represented the French National team and also, as far as i remember won BPL team of the season for 2014/15 (?). Now the bad news. What about Ander Herrera, Mata, Marouane Fellaini, Michael Carrick etc. Where do they fit on the jigsaw? I can't wait to find out how Louis Van Gaal might test out different formations during the preseason tour. Also i've heard people say: "Oh what about their strikers, Manchester United don't have any strikers!" Well when you have midfielders like this and this do you really need much strikers, all you need is Wayne Rooney! But at least for now, i am pretty sure that Louis Van Gaal won't spend £39.4 million without knowing how to use. I am really enjoying this window! Now, who's next?
