Transfer Rumour Juan Mata

Absolutely, credit goes to the academy, but any academy is only as good as the support it gets from the manager. There is no doubt there was a good rapport between RM and the coaches in the academy and in particular it would seem Unsworth.
It's just a pity that 'support' didn't extend to game time towards the end of his tenure. Dowell and Davies in particular should have been given more opportunities. But let's just hope koeman recognises the talent in some of these youngsters and gives them some game time should results allow e.g winning comfortably at home and bringing in a youngster for the last 20 mins or so. This is what annoyed us about moyes and how he held Barkley back. Heitinga would often be brought on as sub in preference to Barkley. Likewise Kone was brought on as sub at the expense of talented youngsters last season.
 
There's a proper grimace on his face in one of those pictures. Just found the original picture actually....

They are all professionals and will behave accordingly. Utd will make sure their asset is in the best possible condition and be ready to play or to be sold.
Mata will understand the manager wants to go a different way and I am sure he understood he would be leaving just as soon as Mourinho was confirmed.
The other players all understand it may be Mata today, but it could be any of them next.

The manager and the player stays away from the niggly nasty negotiations, the agent and whoever negotiates for the club takes care of all of that.
It ensures the football side isn't affected.

I would expect that by now, all offers are finalised and on the table, it is now or at least very close to decision time.
Mata, will be able to join his new club and will probably be more or less at the same level of fitness, it will be mostly settling into the new group and everybody understanding what is expected of them by the manager.
 
Anyone else notice he is the ONLY player oddly staring at and smiling for the camera? Seems a bit strange and forced while everyone else is focused on what they are doing

Keep telling yourself that.
The smile emoji especialy may be him saying "look im happy at utd"
 
jesus.

So the registered man united player is at training? We do not own that footballer so therefore he is training for the new season with his registered club. Until that changes it is his job to keep turning up and in his best interests to be fit for the season.

Must be off then lads, how dare he turn up for work.
 

All of us are floundering in a sea of uncertainty and we'll continue to until someone can post pics of Mata dining out-
- the shape of the table he's sat at would remove all conjecture.
