In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
It isn't, he's slow and sluggish to shift across the pitch, it was only protected last season due to how much ground Kante covers.
I think I'll just believe my eyesight on this. I watched Matic last season and he's hasn't really changed.
Aye and who was protecting Matic in Chelsea's title winning season before Kante?
Matic is cracking player and Jose trusts him so I'll welcome him with open arms.
Peak Matic is great but I don't think he'll dovetail as well with Pogba since they both prefer to play on the left side of midfield. Fabinho is more naturally suited to the right.
Relax in about an hour we will be linked to someone else and round and round we go because no one has a clue.
He was 26 when he won the league under Mourinho. People decline at different ages and his started early.
Come on, stop speaking common sense. He's clearly a 29 year old donkey in the body of a 35 year old, with the first touch of a brick and the turning circle of a sinking super tanker. Don't forget he is single handedly responsible for Chelsea's 10th place finish, and has been a passenger in the two title winning teams.
No doubt he'd spit in Fabinho's angelic face, given the opportunity.
Orc is a Chelsea fan and said this....
I'd suggest your eyes are decieving you.
He was shit the season before Kante and had one good season under Mourinho over 2 years ago, with his frame and size he was always going to decline sharply and it's clearly began.
He played in 35 league games last season and he's not declining ffs. Where the feck did you get that from?
This is a grown man.
He obviously has other skills though that trump every single redcafe poster... from a nobody to a rich fatso with considerable power in one of the biggest sports in the world.
From watching him and making a sensible judgement.
I think Mourinho will play Matic as a DM with Herrera just to the right of him covering Valencia and then Pogba ahead of him in the left CM position.
He is, last year he played with kante who swept everything so mstic could push more forward to link up with forward players, matic is still great in effectiveness and will give what we need is freedom for pogba to roam and fix it's balance and own it.
So because Orc is a Chelsea fan he's opinion counts more?
As I said before Matic is perfectly mobile for a midfielder. Not everyone is Kante. Players have different traits. For instance Matic wins more duels than Kante so he doesn't need to be as mobile.
I'm saying that when teams (like City, Spurs, Liverpool etc) played quick, one touch and up-tempo football Matic struggled mightily. If he's playing in a midfield 3 rather than a 2 where he'd have more legs around him I think he'd be much better.
Then maybe we are going to play a three, with Herrera and Pogba more attacking, Herrera helping defensively if needed?
You have to seriously question why Pogba has this guy as an agent.
Really looking forward to when he is due to sign a contract extension... not.
No he won't, he's slow and cumbersome which will leave Pogba having to come back and help him every time we face a team with quickness in their attack, wqhich is practically everyone these days, he's declining and not good enough which is why Chelsea are fine with selling him to us, they wouldn't sell him to us if he was any threat.
You clearly didn't make a sensible judgement then, seeing as Jose probably knows a thing or two about signing players. Especially the ones he has worked with before.
The reply to that from SilkySuso is a tad harsh. Must be annoying to be a Milan fan with this saga going on. Even if Donnarumma stays, a few bridges have been burned.
Mourinho can pay millions to bring a literal turd to the team and some people here will still defend his choices.
Oh come now. They have moaned about every player we have been linked to
Even Griezmann was "not exciting"
Quite easily.How can one not like him?
Christ. You would think TC23 was coming back.
Bet half the people crying about possibly signing Matic over Fabinho have barely seen Fabinho play.
That makes sense in games when we want extra solidity but I don't see that being our main formation because our wide forwards don't have enough goals in them, I think we played 4-2-3-1 more than 4-3-3 last season as a result.
Yes as I'd expect him to watch his team every week and have more knowledge of his own players. You can keep saying he's mobile enough but it doesn't make it so.
Playing in a 3 isn't going to change that when one of the 3 is Pogba, and you said he had the turning circle of a tanker which has been my point, I don't care what formation we use it's a shitty flaw to have in a CM and we shouldn't be buying one with it.
That doesn't alter the fact he's a cumbersome tanker of a CM, there's no need to have that kind of flawed CM in a team being built for ludicrous money.

Meh, diidn't you just refer to him as mobile? Probably watched him twice this season.
We've only signed one player. No doubt the complainers will still hold links with Lukaku and Dier against him even though they turned out to be nonsense.Even this is just one article for crying out loud.
You would think he was signing player after player this summer going by posts like yours.
But Matic isn't literally a turd, is he? Are you Jamie Redknapp?
Honestly, just look at his posts over the last few pages. You're wasting your breath.
Another foreign player. It's Wilkins.
How are people not happy with Matic he's quality
Was Matic too slow three years ago? 
You literally don't know what literal means.Have to agree with this.
