The Manchester United Thread

Robin van Persie is now Holland's all-time top goalscorer with 41 goals, surpassing Patrick Kluivert.
Wayne Rooney moved to within 12 goals of equalling Sir Bobby Charlton's England record by scoring tonight, putting him on 37 England goals.
Javier Hernandez is currently joint 3rd place in Mexico's all-time top goalscoring chart with 35, 11 behind leader Jared Borgetti.

In that case, it would be 7 in 9.

You're wrong in this one. Check numbers this season. Problem isn't RVPs form, it's lack of creativity in United department.

Perhaps, yes, but his finishing hasn't been as good as it could be this season - although admittedly, most people are exaggerating his 'bad form'.

I agree in general to what rephlex said, but I think you're underrating Hern?ndez's ability to head the ball - he's a top poacher, both with his feet and with his head (although admittedly to a lesser extent)!

I agree, he's a great poacher with head/feet (especially his first goal for united!) I mean his ability to win headers to help us keep the ball from goal kicks, or when it gets punted up field. He's not that kind of Target Man....that's all I meant :)

I agree with that, I just misunderstood your previous statement - my bad!
 
Some medias are reporting we are sniffing around Kok?, young At. Madrid midfielder. Price is around 20m euros.

Hmm, a mobile, strong tackling but techically decent midfielder? Yes please. But since I've saw it on Daily Mail, I doubt it's true.
 
Koke would be an interesting one. Not really been used as a tackling midfielder at all this season or last, though, he's turned into a kind of defensively-aware wide attacker and trequartista.
 
Just hours after announcing he has signed a new 5-year-deal, Adnan Januzaj starts for Manchester United against Southampton.Marouane Fellaini also returns after injury, while star striker Robin Van Persie is fully fit again and will team up with England's World Cup hero Wayne Rooney in attack.
Manchester United team to face Southampton: De Gea, Rafael, Jones, Evans, Evra, Nani, Carrick, Fellaini, Januzaj, Rooney, Van Persie. Substitutes: Lindegaard, Giggs, Smalling, Hernandez, Welbeck, Kagawa, Zaha
Southampton team to face Manchester United: Boruc, Clyne, Schneiderlin, Lovren, Fonte, S Davis, Rodriguez, Wanyama, Osvaldo, Lallana, Shaw. Substitutes: K Davis, Lambert, Ward-Prowse, Cork, do Prado, Chambers, Hooiveld

Well, indeed.
The Fleet Street papers usually don't give
fans of any club an easy time, but that does
about take the biscuit.

I have no idea what you just said. Could you simplify it?

Jones and Evans against Osvaldo... thoughts?
 
I sincerely hope that we would finish anywhere in the top 8 at the end of the season.
 
I'm not panicking, or anything, but I just don't think Moyes was right for United from the start. The only reason United wanted him was because he would be a long-term if he could get it right... but I think he's really struggling. Also not to mention if something drastic doesn't change we'll lose Kagawa at the end of the season and probably Chicharito.
