Evra extends his contract by a year. Good experience for Shaw to learn from
IF Shaw signs, which he may well not now.
Huge mistake imo, we need to strengthen the defence which Evra isnt going to do ( because he is too busy attacking and takes too long to get back)
I do love Evra, glad he's staying, we need an older head in there and he can learn from Shaw
Shaw's a done deal, Mark Ogden of the Telegraph has been briefed about it apparently, he's just said something on MUTV according to RedCafe.
If thats the case then fair enough, but womt be convinced until he is holding a Chevy sponsored shirt lol
The other possibility is that LvG is thinking of a 3-5-2 formation with Raf and Shaw/Evra being positionally more advanced....but Utd would definitely need one or maybe two new cemtre halfs for that to work ( considerimg how often ours get injurred lol)

Apparently Konoplyanka was interviewed after the Ukraine friendly and when asked about a transfer to United said;
"Man United? I would rather stay at Dnipro."

He said (I've seen a few different translations): "If I have a choice between MUFC and Dnipro - likely I will stay in Dnipro. But let's not anticipate things"
Seems a fairly generic answer to me?
And Koke.
Some no mark did, I BELIEVE HIM ALRIGHT!

Luiz's transfer price is certainly large, but he's unique. A destroyer who can protect the back four and maraud forward, as well as drop anywhere into the defensive line. While he can be a liability defensively, he's as good as anyone at defending in front of a back four, and arguably PSG would have gone further in the Champions League this (and last) season had they had him in their team. He's utterly useless in a 4-4-2 or attacking 4-3-3, but with a more defensively minded 4-3-3 there aren't many better in his position.
I doubt it. Pochettino has done a fantastic job, and while I'm sure they're enjoying the ride, I'm not sure the players have an especially close relationship with him. Personally I think Shaw and Lallana might be better served staying at Southampton, but if they (the team) have a poor season next year then it will hurt their value (especially Lallana - Shaw still has an entire career ahead of him, but Lallana is already hitting his prime and only a couple of years younger than Milner).
Southampton have been good and solid, but they are far from established yet and it won't take much for them to drop into a relegation battle if team morale drops (Fulham, West Brom, Villa, Swansea, Newcastle, etc).

So the rumours of Luiz and Mata might be shipped out last season had some truth to it.
