i should be devastated to lose two players who have performed very well but for some reason im not.hoping martial takes his chance now,cant see rooney getting more game time upfront than him.Rashford goals will be crucial now and the likes of lingard and mky need to chip in too

Rooney will play uptop ahead of Martial who still needs to prove to Mourinho. It's pretty gutting to lose these players tbh. One is our top scorer and the other out most consistent CB. And add to the fact we are already 2 CBs down till mid May. Terrible timing!

think we are more effective with martial wide and rashford upfront,rooney not sharp enough upfront anymore imo but jose knows best
 
I remember the 4-0 win against Wigan in the FA Cup when Rooney played up top and he was really really good imo (Didn't get Goal/assist) but was still really good imo, as was the whole team tbh.. but if the team plays well Rooney will play well!

Oh I agree. But Rashford can't play every game from now till the end of the season. So Rooney is next in line.
 
very true,lets hope rooney ends his utd career on a high and bangs in a few to push us into CL qualification

Just out of curiosity what are people's thoughts how we will line up next season. I ask after Ducker is reporting Utd are quietly confident and hopeful of signing Dier from Spurs. So if we ge him and Griezmann will Mourinho go 433 or 4231. Would mean dropping Herrera if we play with a two. And play Griezmann as 10?

Or will we go with a 3 with Dier behind Herrera and Pogba. With Griezmann up top or out wide?

Me personally will think it will be a 433 for most games switching to a 4231. Just can't see us signing a CM(Dier) and not playing him. Or leaving out Herrera. Would be happy with Dier tbh.
 
I've been thinking about it as well, 4-4-1-1 or 4-1-4-1..
I think a physical presence up top with Griezmann behind would be the dream.. but since Zlatan is most likely out I can't see us signing Griezmann and a top top striker as well?

But Something like this maybe? or am I dreaming?

I would be amazed if we sign Griezmann and Lukaku. That's nearly 185m Sterling right there. Can't see it no chance. Don't think we would be signing Keane to be a starter he's not better than Rojo. And my original point was mainly about if we sign Dier and how we fit him in? Yes I think your dreaming just a little ;) Think Hernandez would be a better option.

Btw I would love it if we signed Keane and flogged off both Smalling and Jones. But can't see both going this season. Ducker seems to think Utd would only have a chance of getting Dier if Spurs got Keane as a replacement anyway.
