I don't think anyone genuinely wants Rafael gone, but his lack of reliability is indefensible. He could still be great for some mid-table teams, but I don't see him ever having a real career on the top level.
In club like United, there's always 2-3 guys who'd love to take your place. You need to be as consistent as a morning *****, or you're out.
Won't be the case under LVG. Can clearly see not happy with the squad and is in the middle of assembling the squad he wants. While revamping the whole youth set up, so we can start bringing through quality young talent forign and domestic. While still being successful.Well this isn't the case anymore because a bunch of them have been poor for years and still playand we haven't had a proper deputy right back for a long long time.

Tbh we have not been that far off City this season considering how poor we have been and the changes/ injuries at the club. We will defo be challenging next year IMO. If we did not have those bad results at the start of season we would be up there now despite our poor performances. Considering Chelsea and City are suppose to be miles a head of us playing wise, they have not exactly left us standing.Can't see us competing with city or chelsea for the next 3 years, unless of course we get rid of the likes of rvp, stop with rooney in midfield and sign some proper forwards and midfielders and a top class cb.
Still though players don't matter much when the football itself is abysmal.

Chelsea have, they are 13 points ahead, in the prem that is left standing at the top of the table. City have been as United have, playing to less than/minimal potential but points on the board. Depends on the summer for next years challenge for United, but if no major major buys id be looking at the year after so i'd say 2 years to build, buy, bed in and challenge.
We spent 150m and we're still way off. rb, one or two cb's, one or two cm's, winger and a forward are needed.
I don't think we are way of personally. 3 key signings and a little more to the squad and we will be right up there team wise with Chelsea. That don't mean nothing results/performance wise I know. But going on Lvg history his teams are known for being strong and quick off the blocks 2nd season.
We also saw 11 first-team players leave the club, so they were replacements rather than upgrades.
Sometimes I reckon fans think Lvg just came in and took over a settled side and a team fresh off winning the league. Quite the opposite! He needs time at least 2-3 seasons, like I said I fully expect us to be right up there challenging next season on all fronts.We also saw 11 first-team players leave the club, so they were replacements rather than upgrades.
Lots of clubs do it and I don't think Lvg has been that bad tbh at this.Player for player wise maybe three will do but when we're putting square pegs into round holes and playing boring football we're not going to do much damage to chelsea.
Like i said messi and busquets could play for us and we'd still look awful.
Wait, am I missing something here? Isn't Marqinhos a short CB who is awful in the air, and only thing he's really good at is his pace? I know he's sort of ball playing CB, but what the ****?! Jones/Marquinhos as the pair? We are going to get murdered against tall, strong teams even more than now... whats the point of bringing him in... he doesn't solve anything at all...
