The Manchester United Thread

Again stats can be misleading and about perception but Herrera has 5 goals, in 5 starts with 5 assists. Cough cough Van Gaal.

Imagine that formation and getting depay and having him, januzaj, di maria and young to choose from not bad at all.

Depay,pogba,hummels. Rooney up top. That's a spine of de gea,hummels,pogba and Rooney. Pace on the wings to stretch their defence. Sell rvp,Evans and rafael to free up wages. Don't think januzzi has done enough and if a psg offer silly money then he should go. Would love to see bale but think he'll stay in Madrid fir 1 more season before moving back for family reason.

Yeah, that makes sense. What Herrera and Di Maria offer in CM is pretty similar. Energy, work rate, reasonably good short range passing and always looking to take risks to try and open up opposition's defense. Di Maria should be put out wide, for the Herrera to have starting place in the side, and then midfield can be patched up with Blind and Fellaini. Fellaini deserves to be a starter for that matter, he's always excellent and offers something different upfront.

I don't mind if United plays with Fellaini as a striker. He's actually decent on the ball and can offer some link up play with obligatory aerial ability. Why would United shy from it? You see other teams do it and it works.

Don't think we will be struggling for wages :) Them 3 would be great. 2 of them are dead certs for me. Its just who wins the Pogba war ;)

The only goals Rooney scores are penalties

I truly don't mean to be rude, but are you an idiot? He is the premier leagues 3 highest goalscorer and more than likely will be United's as well. 224 goals. Club Captain. England Captain. Good player no matter how you look at it.

it would free up wages and allow younger players a better chance of breaking through. We don't want Anderson type players taking up squad spaces and being payed a fortune whilst young good players(pogba) are looking elsewhere for football
 
We have never lost to Arsenal at OT since 2006 i think. Will be tough but Arsenal will do an Arsenal at OT :)

Agree. But i dont think we have to many that will be coming though the Reserves maybe Pereira,Janko,Rothwell . We need to strengthen both starting team and depth imo.

Probably should sell them three anyway or atleast two along with shipping falcao back and probably one or both of hernandez and nani.

McNair instead of Raffael,hummels instead of Evans would still leave us with Smalling,Jones,rojo,blacket,hummels, delay instead on januzzi.pereira backing up carrick,blind,pogba,fellani.squad to me looks a lot stronger.
 
I would like to see

Lindergaard
Amos
Johnstone
Rafa
Blackett
Evans
Thorpe
Carrick
Mata
Cleverley
RVP
Falcao
Hernandez
Keane
Valencia all shipped out in the summer.

Agree with all apart from carrick and Valencia. They can both cover a couple of positions and have good experience.

Yeah that's true but i would rather sell Valencia and promote Janko to do the same job but better. Carrick has experience but has been poor tbh and getting injured quite regular.

Still think carrick is a better passer than blind. Blind plays to safe for me. He is good mind
 
Not sure if i want fellaini to start vs swansea or as a plan b and have wilson start.

I would have said yeah if it was last season. Carrick is still a good player but i think Blind should take Carricks spot now. More dynamic and mobile and just as good a passer. Blind will pass and move Carrick for me is far to static, and Blind does a great job protecting the back 4 and filling in for the FBs when they go forward. Would not be surprised if him and RVP get a 1 yr rolling but i hope not. We have enough experience we need to start getting the squad complete and settled, with some pace. Then start rebuilding our youth set up.

Tough one if at Home i would pick Rooney and Wilson if Away then Rooney and Fellaini. Same as 2nd half today.

Not sure about herrera and blind against their midfield though as they'll probably pack that area unless dimaria and young come narrow when out of possesion or both strikers drop or take turns at dropping kinda like atletico.

Fellaini could drop and Rooney feed off him. So like a 4411/451.
