Rudiger not having the best of nights...

[Irene Demova]

Wenger completely having the number of Conte somehow is one of the funniest things in football

[Blue Eyes]

Good. strawberry float off, Chelsea.

[Dowbocop]

Life without Alexis just gets better and better, he was holding us back.

[<]:^D]

Shouldn't that say Yorkshire White?

We are the best we've been since Fergie left so definitely the correct decision.

[Denster]

Yep.

[Tomous]

Yeah, I can’t see how United could do better than Mourinho so it makes sense.

[Preezy]

I think the worm is turning with Jose, he’ll be gone in the summer one way or the other.

Lol look at this idiot

[DML]

That's the first time I've seen Jose smiling in a decade it seems like!

[Saint of Killers]

Yeah, but has he bought a house?

[Moggy]

Yeah, but has he bought a house?

Maybe he bought the hotel?

[Hypes]

Yeah, but has he bought a house?

He's having it built and is moving into a static caravan on site

There was, however, confusion over Sánchez and whether the player had inadvertently missed a doping test during the transfer from Arsenal to United. Widespread reports – following on from an initial report in Spain – said the Chile international may have fallen foul of the Football Association’s “whereabouts” rule by allegedly not being present for a test on Monday.

However, that was the day he was completing his high-profile switch from London to Manchester, opening the door to the possibility of genuine confusion as to his whereabouts.

There is no suggestion of wrongdoing by Sánchez or the clubs. Both Arsenal and United declined to comment, as did the FA. As part of the FA’s anti-doping guidelines, players are advised to notify the governing body if they are due to be absent from a scheduled training session. Manchester City and Bournemouth were both fined £35,000 last season after failing to ensure their whereabouts information was accurate on three occasions within a 12-month period.

I see United are being linked with Jean Michael Seri from Nantes. He'd be a perfect signing, I've always liked him ever since I heard his name for the first time a couple of days ago.

Anyway, Sanchez’ debut for United may happen tonight vs Yeovil.

[Peter Crisp]

I'm hearing rumours that Real Madrid are about to have a car boot sale of players and bring in a shedload of new people.
Do you think Luton Town should be worried or see it as a money making opportunity?
We could do with £200m and I think we'd survive without our best striker.

[Mafro]

Good win. Encouraging debut for Sanches and Gomes' cameo was pretty damn good.

[BOR]

Sanchez made two assists already and he’s got the man of the match by United fans.

Gomes was really lively and almost score too.
