Preseason 2016/2017
Transfers in and out:
Staff in and out:
Morumbi
Morumbi looks like a very promising player, but he’ll be loaned out to Antwerp this season, because I can’t guarantee him a spot this year. While he’s at Antwerp I hope he can develop himself enough, so he might be a part of the 1st team next year.
Ciel
Ciel another Brazilian Wonderkid to join our united force, at this moment he is slightly better than Morumbi so we decided to keep Ciel here for this season and hopefully he can pick up some game time. What also plays a part in the decision is that we were able to get Ciel a work permit, Morumbi wasn’t able to get one yet.
Salif Diakite
Salif will be one of the players joining our youth team, since we have a partnership with Stuttgart, they gave us all the information about Salif. After that we made a decision and took him over from them, now it’s for us to wait and see if he can live up the expectations.
Preseason matches and the 1st part of the season!
Here we are again to talk to Manchester United Manager Randy!
So Randy how do you feel the start of this season has been for you?
Well we won our own Utd. cup again during the summer preparation and the friendly’s we played went quite well. We then faced Man city for the Community Shield and managed to win 2-0. Then we went on to win our first 2 premier league matches before we faced Juventus again but this time for the Super cup. It was a though game but we won with 3-2 in extra time.
The transfers you made anything you’d like to tell us about it?
Well we got in a few nice young players, most of them will play in our -18 team, we also got 2 new Brazilian kids of which 1 is out on loan, the other is showing he’s almost ready for his 1st game.
We parted our ways with Rooney, Griezmann, Vadillo because I just wasn’t sure if they brought anything special into the team. I’m sad to see Griezmann leave because somehow we had a good bond with each other, Rooney needed a new challenge and we couldn’t cope that well, so it’s not that bad.
Do you think your team can continue their current form?
Well it will be a loooooong season so we’ll have to wait and see what’s going to happen, but if we stay focused and keep playing as we have done so far, it might be a similar season as the 2014-2015 one. But City and Liverpool have become stronger and also Arsenal seems to do very well. Guess we’ll know around April how everyone has performed, until then I just focus on my team and guiding them to even more success.
