The Manchester United Thread

Whenever I read an article about or watch a video of Paul Pogba my heart sinks. Obviously no point dwelling on it now really but if he does end up at another EPL club I think I'll cry.
 
Nani proving what we all knew, going to beast form with run of games. I'm very happy for him. Hopefully we will see him again in ManUtd shirt.
 
Good news on the injury list by the sounds of it Falcao,Evans,Rafael,Rojo,Lingard have all been 1st team training this week. And Herrera and Evans played in the Reserve game last night, Herrera now fully recovered from Rib injury that has kept him on the bench lately :)
 
Herrera scored good goal last night.

Have a feeling fellaini might start both but stoke are stoke and we're fragile as ****, so think against hull it'll be a good run out for him and will give us plenty of energy.

If not herrera and LVG goes with the 5 again then i'd like to see carrick with di maria in CM, mata no10 and rooney with wilson up top.

Falcao 15-25min sub in both games.

Yeah can see Falcao get 15-20 mins against Hull. Think Herrera and Evans might start as well.

Dunno with evans, i guess he could but hope smalling has a good game again. Correct me if i am wrong but do we have southampton and liverpool away after these next two?

Hull and Stoke at home then Southampton away then Pool at home.

In two minds about that liverpool game, would prefer them at home in the spring but saying that going to anfield in december? no thanks.

I never ever look forward to us playing them away, i wish i could skip the day. They always turn up and play out of their skins.
 
Everyone seems singing about Nani's good goal he scored yesterday in the champions league, but he has always had ability and technique, that's why Sir Alex brought him to Old Trafford in the first place and he thought he could be as good as Cristiano Ronaldo. But the trouble is he lacks consistency in his game, for every one good performance he would have six bad performances. Plus he has scored plenty of good goals for United in his time at Old Trafford. I'm not so sure about having back, for example look at class and how good the opposition were against Sporting Lisbon yesterday, also the Portuguese league is definitely not the one of best league in the world. When was the last time you saw him turn on for national team, usually only Cristiano turns up.
 
Usually Nani is one of the best players in Portugal NT. Always creates havoc. Also his problem isn't consistency in his game, his problem was getting consistent game time. Injuries, questionable team selections and big dip in form for couple of months didn't help with him. His decision making is rather poor, seems to make bad decision more often then the right one, and he still has great statistic, that shows how creative and devastating he can be buy simply dribbling around over and over till he makes right choice.
 
The decision not to go for strootman or thiago while pointlessly pursuing bale and cesc is worse for me.

Strootman was worse. Thiago is more of a playmaker from midfield, and we didn't Cleverley would be so bad over the season. But we badly needed someone like Strootman.
 
Nani is would be good to have back if given game time easily would be big addition to our forward play. Nt fussed about missing out on Hummels or Thiago there injury records are shocking since he went to Bayern and Hummels has one of the worst records for a defender in the Bundesliga for the last 3 years. Strootman will come soon anyways :)
