I thought Rooney was good tbh his work rate was decent and his spread of play was good and some of his passing was top draw. But he did have acres of space and a shed load of time. Was not under pressure at all. I still think he can play there, but will see what he's like against a top pressing side before I think he's the answer.

Just wondering people's thoughts on CMs they would like to see us after? Looking at Saul signed new contract, Sanches off to Bayern and Pjanic by all reports in Italy looking set for Juve.

We don't need CMs tho...especially if rooney is playing there full time. We need attacking players.

We still haven't gotten a replacement for di maria. Someone who'd give us that extra bit of spark in the final third not named martial and can play preferably on the right.

Then we Def need a striker or 2.

We defo need a CM or 2 if Fellaini and Carrick leaves. We need 1 starting CB to partner Smalling and then a STR Ibra. And a winger for the right.

Last RT; that's a very trustworthy Madrid journo saying Zidane has told Madrid that Keylor Navas is his goalkeeper. For now and the future.

I think we do need one cm who is combative yet also a bit of a playmaker. Dont forget that Carrick and hopefully Fellaini will leave and also that Schweini is likely to keep getting injured ...

We then need a class cb and a couple of wingers/ifs who are fast and technical. I also think we need another full back.

 

[MANUMAD]

Complaining because AP hasn't come through is ridiculous.

Come on Mike, are you really arguing he got a fair shot this year? Never mind starting matches he should have featured much more as a sub.

dont think we need a FB we have Valencia, Darmian, CBJ, Shaw, Riley, TFM, Blind, Varela to play there.

Valencia is not and will never be a FB! and Varela is not UTD standard (he's worse than Buttner and already 23 so wont get better!)

Valencia is so criminally underrated. He's done well in that position since coming back from injury.

Valencia has been good there and has been very good since his return. And Varela did very well when he played also. Defo don't need a FB.

Valencia is a wall against poor teams, but he always ***** himself vs. serious opposition.

But yeah, I agree that more fullbacks aren't needed. There's plenty of depth available, this season was a freakish bad luck with so many injuries. Having all of CBJ//Blind/Rojo/Young out on LB, and Darmian/Valencia/Jones/Valera out on RB, is just madness.

Priority would be a pacy RW and an experienced striker to mentor Rashford.

Valencia did well vs city at old Trafford earlier this season if I do recall.

Also he put in solid shifts against Leicester and west ham.

Tbh if we say that maybe only Carrick and Fellaini leave this squad really doesn't need a lot of work to be up there challenging next season. I would say 4 top signings and we would be there then add the young quality we have coming through to supplement the squad and add depth. 4 signings and A new manager this Summer job sorted.

 

[Puddz]

Mou, Ibra, Right Winger. All we need imo.

Mou, Ibra, Sane, Danhoud or Goretzka and Manolas and were there

Not enough box-to-box/bite in a midfield of Carrick, Fellani, Bastian and Rooney for my liking. great on the ball, reading the game but without, nah i'd bring one in at least. It'f have to be very structured centre of the park. Fine with the way LVG has it set tempo wise, but if you wanna overhaul that, 1 addition would be on my list for CM, unless you get the v.best out of Herrera.

Exactly, people are deluded on here thinking our midfield is now sorted just because Rooney's few good performances there at end of season, when opposition are not really playing for much anyway.

But to bring in a midfielder, we must offload a couple cos that area is starting to get crowded.

I feel like the attack is a bigger priority and perhaps tactics. If we are to bring in a cm, it should be like a younger carrick. Someone who can dictate tempo, read the game and bring calmness.

We have enough bite with schneiderlin and Herrera. Now moving on to those 2, we may need someone that can bring out the best out of those 2.

Its not really that crowded tbh. Carrick land Fellaini most likely leaving. Schweinstiger injury issues. There's three gone straight away. Goretzka would be ideal replacement for Carrick or Blind.
