The Manchester United Thread

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.
 
How do people think we would fair if we went into next season with -

GK- DDG, Romero, Jhonstone, Periera

RB- Darmian, Valencia, Varela
LB- Shaw, CBJ, Riley

CB- Smalling, Jones, Rojo, Tuanzebe, Williams, Poole

RW- Lingard, Januzaj
LW- Martial, Memphis, Young

DM- Schniederlin, Blind, McNair

CM- Schweinstiger, Herrera, TFM, Rooney, Goss

AMC- Mata, Peirera

STR- Rashford, Wilson

And Mou in charge?

Looking at that it should get us in top 4 imo. Add Manolas, Sane, Ibra, CM should easy have us challenging on all fronts injuries permitting.

Yes! A front three of him Ibra and Sane would be devastating there's no rush to put Martial up top. He's played most his career on the left. And is fantastic there FBs are ******** bricks when there up against him even when he has 2 or 3 squaring him up.

Tbh with the fees being reported we could most probably sign those 3 because Ibra is free and still have money for James.

No he doesn't. He can be just as much threat out left like he has been all season. He has double figures in his first season, I'm in no doubt next season he will score the same if not more than he has this season with a new manager and better tactics. You add Ibra up top there's gonna be loads more room for Martial. Then add a Pacey winger on the right bingo!

3rd or 4th. I like DDG and the left Shaw/Martial combo but the rest dont stand out or above anything the top 6 have as well.
 
I'd of been happy with Banega on a free. Has been good this season and pulling the strings against Pool atm. Good deal for the club that signed him can't remember who?

That's pretty much what we have this season and considering every other team will strengthen I don't think it would be good enough for top 4. There is weaknesses there, defence both in CB and RB (I don't like Valencia, positionally suspect during better teams testing him).

Also RW would be very risky considering Lingard and Januzaj both fail to live up to much and the midfield looks lacking.

We no doubt need to strengthen this summer with transfers and going with this squad again wouldn't be good enough. It would be 5th if we are lucky in my opinion, bare in mind teams should be better next season.

Yeah I agree we need to strengthen for sure I'm not worried about Arab thought tbh.

Yeah I think he will be. He was good at the start tbh then had that shoulder injury and few knocks here and there. Still confident in him he is good defensively.
