The Manchester United Thread

22 years old, 6' 2, decent speed, strong (think Vidic type CB).
League game played 25, subbed off 6 times, booked 10, red 1, goals 1
Games missed through injury 10 this season (3 separate injuries)
Games missed through suspension 3.
Looks like a new Gabriel Paulista in the making. We signed him from Vilarreal in January last year and he's at times been erratic. I would be a bit skeptical. Gabriel scares the **** out of me because he could make the greatest tackle ever seen or two foot someone! Since Bailly has a worse disciplinary record for the same team, questions will have to be asked.
 
Ballague and Cedena Sar saying all is agreed. Not in there squad due to finalising transfer. Suppose this is the bonus of Mourinho doing nothing but going round Europe watching football matches since he's been in employed.

To be honest, I'd rather believe a pile of poo than 'know it all' Balague.
 
Him and Smalling for next season? Hmmm, interesting, doesn;t exactly speak out that it will be a significant improvement on Smalling and Blind but I guess we have to trust Jose's judgement.

It will be a huge improvement on Blind and Smalling. Plus I think we will sign another CB.

I know very little about him (yuse where half right about the game in Villarreal. He looked great on the ball, as did all their back 4, but was at fault for both the early Allen chance and Lallana got free of him second half as was wrongly pulled back for off-side); but for £30 plus million he'd better be a huge improvement on those two for your sake.

It's only 19m upfront. And I would easily class him along signed Zouma before his injury having watched him this season.
 
Weren't we signing manolas? If you ask me, I think manolas>

Do you want Blind to move?
Depends on the signing tbh. Would be a good squad player. But I would not mind if he left. We have Shaw, CBJ, Rojo, Darmian, Young who can play LB. We have Smalling, Jones, Rojo, TFM plus 1 or 2 CBs coming in then the highly rated Williams, Tuanzebe, Poole all coming through and Warrell and Olesunde. In midfield we will have Carrick, Schweinstiger, TFM, Herrera, Schniederlin, Fellaini, Pereira, Goss plus 1 or 2 new signings. I don't think we will miss him tbh.
 
Still hope we push for Marquinhos or Manolas as well as this chap we're signing from Villereal that would be pretty much solid looking defence in terms of CB if we ship out two of Blind/Rojo/Jones.

Our centre-back options next season could be: - Smalling, Marquinhos/Manolas, Blind, Bailly - I'd be happy with that. Bare in mind you could very well replace one of them with Fosu-Mensah, depends how Jose sees him, I reckon he might fancy him in a more midfield role. But time shall tell.
