DEADLINE DAY ROUNDUP

Manchester United manager Mair decided to go for broke on deadline day. With a £31 million kitty he decided to snap up a transfer listed by request, Leighton Baines for £21 million after they sold Nani for £18.5 million. And then mere moments before the deadline window slammed shut a deal was agreed between 2 teams....Manchester United and Arsenal, in a player exchange deal swapped £10m million and Jonny Evans for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. In a surprise deal finger were pointed at Mair saying he had paid over the odds for an unproven talent but Mair brushed off the criticism boldly stating "Are these the same fans that criticised me being appointed as manager? If so explain to them that I have the top level coaching qualifications while they have.....nothing."
Bale, Schweinsteiger, the Ox, Leighton Baines, top level signings mate! :D

Just drew 0-0 with Stoke though....
MY TEAM THAT IS GOING TO TAKE EUROPE BY STORM

Play Bale as a Winger! That's where he's best! Also, Wayne Rooney should push up to AMC, he's wasted in a deeper role, advanced is the way to go. Straight swap with Kagawa would work. Good luck :D
Alright Neal thanks

Justice -
Keep in mind that you have two ageing centre-back! Though, Smalling and Jones will surely be your future! Be careful, as they are EXTREMELYinjury-prone! Great story here!

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE GROUP STAGE

The anticipation was palpable. Mair sat in the deluxe chairs with Rene Muelensteen and Mike Phelan. Awaiting the joy or agony that could follow. A hard group or an easy group. Mair lifted his hand to rub the sweat from his brow. The ripple of chatter subsided, down to business. The groups were drawn, a painstakingly slow process. Then they were pulled out of the hat and placed in Group E. MANCHESTER UNITED OF ENGLAND. Mair cursed his luck as Valencia and PSG were chosen to join them along with Feyernoord. Not the easiest of draws but by no means the hardest. Reflecting on the draw Mair said " Yeah it wasn't too bad a draw, Feyernoord and Valencia are clubs that I would call sleeping giants, not done a lot recently but still both strong outfits. And PSG are the new boys with the rich Arabs in charge so they are a force to be reckoned with as well. Not as good as I hoped but definitely not too hard."

Good story so far and it looks to be really interesting in the coming weeks. Will definitely be watching.
Good work so far! Some good transfer deals in and out of the club although I agree maybe still swap kagawa and rooney - kagawa can be a force from the middle and rooney will have more of an impact from AMC but if you train rooney to play as a CM it could work just as well
This is shaping up to be a great story.

INTERVIEW

In an incredible turn of events, Michael Carrick, Shinji Kagawa and Anders Lindegaard have all criticised manager Nathaniel Mair saying he is to young to be the manager of such an illustrious club like Manchester United.
"He too young, I theenk ve sould have a more experienced boss" said Kagawa in stilted English.
Carrick and Lindegaard echoed this in an unbelievable attack on Mair.

However Danny Welbeck, Robin Van Persie, Leighton Baines, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Ryan Giggs and Nemanja Vidic all defended their manager.
"Age is just a number" said Vidic
"We haven't had the greatest of starts but its nothing to do with his age" said Baines

Also David Gill released a statement which said this:

"Nathaniel Mair has the full backing of the board and of the club. He is an incredibly talented manager with an eye for talent and his youth will mean he will be able to stay at the club for years to come. Sir Alex didn't have the best of starts when he joined the club but look what happened there? We have the utmost faith that Mair will deliver for us when it counts."
