The Manchester United Thread

Andreas Pereira

On his two starts this season, the Brazilian has scored. He has not featured in a matchday squad since February, ostensibly on account of his immaturity, yet Jesse Lingard - an inferior talent - showcased his juvenile streak on Snapchat and has, effectively, been a first-teamer since January.
Pereira, who has looked rejuvenated since he signed a new contract last year and was bright in pre-season, has scored eight goals and created another seven in the Under-21s this season. He has been treated unfairly in a season United's forwards have been blunted.

Just one of many players that has been mismanaged by LVG.
 
Yeah, young players in general were never given any chance from Van Gaal this season.

Just cos he thrown kids in isn't necessarily an indictment of how he has managed them well. Sure he has managed certain players well enough, but there are plenty where you can just as equally say, what the **** is he trying to achieve, Peireira should of had way more of a look in this season and is easily better than Lingard.
 
Sigh was expecting more youngsters on the bench at least. My mate said OT is like a morgue tonight

Rashford went from nobody to England call-up in 3 months. If that's not a great management of young players, I don't know what is.

Lingard he offers something the team didn't have - direct running and pace. And he's better at doing that than Pereira, that's why he starts.

Pereira is talented, but he offers nothing over Mata, that's why he's rotting on bench.

This isn't rocket science, do try to keep up.

Hardly surprising. Meaningless game, mid-week, and after a bomb threat. It's basically a glorified friendly.

Agree. But you will usually get a very good turn out nonetheless. My mate who's a season ticket holder for 27 yrs says he's never seen an atmosphere like it on the way down. No singing, chanting nothing hardly and inside. Says he's seen a few signs and banners also and heard booing already.

He hasn't even been in matchday squad since February, excluding tonight.. it is just bad management, he isn't even rotting on bench he is just in U21's out performing everyone and not getting any look in still.

Because Mata and co. has offered so much this season! Our attack (or lack of)has been woeful, shown by the amount of goals we have scored, everyone has their own part to play in that and why would you not use one of your best young attacking players more than two starts?

People really overrate Mata for no apparent reason, he'll have time to recover his form in Euros though... oh wait Del Bosque hasn't even put him in his squad... for good reason. Mata is a nice guy, but he has been ineffective this season for large periods, he deserved dropping like most of our other attacking players.

Oh and whole Rashford fairytale, please, it is just coincidence that he had to choose him at that time and considering how well he took his chance he hasn't been droppable. Why would you even drop him when you have no one else in that position better anyway. Rooney is... a midfielder.. now apparently and Martial is better on left.

LVG saying if we get just 1 point Utd will be in the Europa group stages and that is not bad, because Utd shall miss the qualification matches.

what a clown!!!
 
Mata hasnt made the Spain squad because they have actually ludicrous amounts of talent. Awful comparison

Comparison? I'm not comparing anything. Tyton brought Mata up not me, he has been as useless as most our other attacking players this season.

But seriously, Mata's time at United hasn't been anything special so far, he has had a few good performance but largely he is ineffective. He needs to do more, oh and just for the record, a team of our stature should have the best players and when we supposedly do in Mata, we should be seriously concerned as a club why we haven't got the most out of them and how he hasn't even managed to get to the Euros.
 
I brought up Mata, because you brought up Pereira, who happens to be competing with Mata for the same position.

Jesus Christ.
