The Manchester United Thread

My 'assault' Wishlist(quite short, really)

World Class Centre Back(Marquinhos or Kostas Manolas)
None are WC, both would be improvement.
World Class Striker(Ibra?)
Would be quite nice, we lack match winners
World Class RW(or use Young maybe?)
First time in a long time I saw WC and Young in same sentence. But in different context :D Would be nice to get RW, someone direct. Mane would fit well.

World Class No. 10(If and only if Mata is sold AND Mourinho doesn't want to use Basti as DLP)
Depends on formation. If it's somewhat 4-4-2/4-4-1-1 with Ibra behind Rashford, Mata will be sold/backup.
I trust Herrera and Schneiderlin to perform under Mourinho.
They should. I don't expect much different Herrera, he will still go forward and try to get in the box, score goals and generally be reckless with his passing. But he should benefit from more direct approach. However, I expect much more from Morgan.
 
Morgan is great , but I think LVG had problem with him breaking forward too much. Now, Morgan is excellent at doing that, but his job on the pitch was to shield Carrick/Bastian, and he wasn't doing that by constantly pushing forward to win second balls.

I think he can be an excellent asset, but it really depends on how Mou sets up and who will be Morgan's CM pair. One option would be to play 4-3-3, don't use a #10 and use Morgan as box-to-box. I was always surprised LVG wasn't doing that more often, given that 4-3-3 is basically his trademark formation.

No they aren't, Marquinhos could develop in to one though and Manolas is a leader and that is exactly what we need, someone to take responsibility and take that CB spot away from Blind(who should be back up for CM, CB and LB positions and nothing more).Who do you suggest?

Ibra is Ibra

Again stumped here, Berardi maybe?I dunno but I just feel that Mane is Valencia Mk 2.We need someone Pacey there, like CR7 and Giggsy were.

Herrera and Morgan really need to be played as a pair, either in a double pivot behind Mata or with Basti behind them as DLP, they complement each other well, both can go forward, Morgan has the steel and Herrera the creativity, just imagine Basti dictating play behind them or Mata dribbling ahead and sending in through balls to Martial who sends a low cross to Rashford to score.

The reason I am so anxious that United try to buy Berardi is because he is just the signing the United of old would make, young, talented youngster, talented but not yet a star, let's make him star Fergie would say and bring them over(CR7 is an example).I am not disappointed that we don't have any other such stars except Martial(who was signed on deadline day)but that we haven't even tried to do so under LVG(we got Januzaj and Shaw under Moyes iirc).

Januzaj's got all the skills to be the RW we need, he just needs a manager who can coax it out of him, Mou can do it, the real question is, will he trust him to deliver for us or will he go into the market and buy someone?Lets hope it is the former!
 
I would be more than happy with Marquinhos or Manolas. Don't think Varane is completely out of the question or that German CB from Valencia. My choice for RW would be Sane from Schalke. Far more talented than Berardi imo better dribbler and rapid as heck. Also left footed and would be perfect match for Martial on the left with Ibra up top with Rashford supporting.

Yea, they are all better than Blind, I as a Real Madrid follower can say with complete confidence that Varane is going nowhere.Mustafi is good, I am just concerned that he might not be able to adapt to this league(Otamendi was a teammate of his, he couldn't play besides anyone save Kompany).I would love to have Sane here, I'd love it.But he'll be too much too pricey while that is not a problem with all our money, I just feel that Schalke with the strong position they are in will wait till Real or Barca come calling, get the money from them and leave us with our hands empty.

Anyone hear that Cantona is willing to manage United if he is asked to?*goes and starts a United save as some bloke named Eric*.I've always thought of Ibra as the Cantona of our time, would be nice to have him manage us someday.(Eric)
