The Manchester United Thread

Evans had far more chances than he deserved. Rafael in fairness couldnt stay fit enough to take any. Hernandez was leaving anyway, once you hear his interview.
 
Am I the only who thinks mourinho will get the best out of memphis?

We had all them covered until the ******* decide to get rid of them all and leave us with a bare bones squad. Every single one of those players are still good enough to get into this team at the moment and do a job.

Exactly. Even though I wasn't fully satisfied with Evans or Fletcher in the starting LU but still better than relying on U18 players to save our arses and get the top four.

And don't even mention Chicharito's name, who scored 22 this season so far, 'cos I go mad.

If we scraped 4th would you seriously want LVG still then, for another season of his philosophy?

Gut feeling. By some miraculous turn of events, you make the Champions League. Be it through the league or by virtue of winning the Europa.

Ya' think they'd let him see out the contract a third season?

Probably replace him with Jose now, but wouldn't have before. Might not if he wins EL convincingly

Ta. Be interesting to watch it all play out.

He was definitely safe, then we had our worst run, and now its all up in the air. United havent denied talking to Jose either. United aware they handled sacking Moyes badly so will aim to get it right, fair play.
 
He definitely needs to win something to have any hope of staying for the 3rd season.

But you're forgetting that the aim for last season was 4th, this season it was admitted by LVG and Woodward to being 3rd and a small title push. So it's way below their expectations they had at the start of the season regardless.

The biggest mistake in all this is the boards indecisiveness just like under Moyes, it has cost us another season. If they had of acted at the right time and sacked LVG after the Norwich or Stoke game this season may of still of been salvageable.

He's not super physical, and we don't need him to be, he starts our attacks, has excellent positioning and reading, very good against intelligent forwards. Unless you're going to replace him with a ball playing centre back, it's not an upgrade. City have this exact issue with Mangala and Otamendi, they don't compliment each other. Smalling and Blind do. Only way we currently do better is a fully fit Rojo.

All true - which is why I dont understand why you cant see we need to buy a proper cb (at least)

Actually he could qualify for the UCL next season, which would be impressive at this point, and be allowed see out his contract.

There isn't actually very much wrong with this Man United squad, just needs solid back ups and changes in how certain players are used.

Signings
Young Centre Back(Mammana, Stones or Laporte?)
A more flamboyant and pacy Right Back(Mario Fernandes from Moscow is pretty good and must be looked at!)
A Left Winger(out and out winger, not someone who cuts inside like Memphis)-Theo Bongonda???
Renato Sanches- Go all out for him, please

Team Tweaks
Use Blind as Left Back mainly sometimes as back up Central Midfielder
Blood James Wilson into the first team
Use Young as a Winger, never at LB or RB

Philosophy changes
Stop going for big proven names all the time, look to make a long term team
Change back to 4-4-2

That will never happen as long as Woodward has a say on the footballing side of things, if we get that Berto chap from Atletico it may start to happen though.

I'd find it hilarious if we pipped City to 4th spot with Pep taking them over next season in the Europa league. :$

Sadly it won't happen, because as bad as they are this season, we are even worse.

I don't understand. You want us to go after young players but also want us to challenge for the title? You can't have both. We need 2 or 3 proven players to make us title challengers again.

I would love that. City just have an injury crisis like we have, with Kompany being out for a long time, they start to fail. Man Utd then start to pick up form with our injuries coming back, Martial and Rooney continuing to score goals and Depay deciding its time to show up.

Would be great.

Dont know if its true, but there were some rumours that Peps deal with City is contingent on them finishing in top 4.
