The Manchester United Thread

What's making me feel very optimistic is Mourinho's track record of improvements in second seasons, very good at diagnosing the flaws and weaknesses after a debut season, and fixing it with suited personnel
 
griezmann is coming,just a matter of time i have no doubts but he alone wont be enough.add 5 or 6 quality additions and we will be a very good side once again
 
For me -

Fabinho
Matic
Dier

The only thing about Matic is his mobility or lack of. If we play in a two. Don't agree djs think 3 quality additions and we are a good side again. A couple of good ones on top will make us a very good team and a very good squad

Re: Dier, even though the versatile and classy Fabinho is first choice in both halves of Manchester, I'd take Matic (who is rumoured of fancying a Mourinho reunion) a lot quicker than the Englishman.

Yeah, though the same issues lie with Dier. Matic is just a classier version of him. Should be our plan B if Fabinho doesn't happen

keane,fabinho,rose,griezmann,willian and an out and out striker would be perfect imo but i see what u r saying.just think it will be a more intense season next year and we are gonna need to be stronger all round
 
I might be wrong here as I haven't watched Fabinho much, but wouldn't he just be a jack of all trades master of none type player?

No mate. His transformation from RB which he is very good at btw to DM has been amazing. He really is the complete DM/CM great defensively, breaking up plays, tackling, interceptions. And very good composure on the ball and had a very good range of passing short and long. Would be perfect for Pogba in a 2 or Pogba and Herrera at the base of a 3. Nearly excited about this as a new STR and Griezmann!

I think Fabinho won Player of the Year in Ligue 1 which tells how good he has been. Fabinho would be amazing addition to any club in the world.

The big Dane easy for me. Just about the perfect in all aspects keeper. DDG still has holes in his game, hesitant to come off his line and still not that commanding of his area.
 
yeah totally with you,big pete had such presence and was a giant.best save i ever saw him make was that banks like save in a european game but i forget whether it was champions league.Was opposition a hungarian team or similar?

god bless les.we had some shockers after pete though didnt we.take your pick on who was the worst.mind you,pool had a few dodgy keepers didnt they scouse

I was being serious there. Sealey rightly has a cult hero status at Utd. He gave f-ing EVERYTHING EVERY game.

And he saved Ferguson's **** and kept him in employment from that absolute bag of ***** Leighton.

But yeah, the time after Schmeichel should serve as a warning to loosing de Gea. You never truly replaced him until you dropped fortunate on an ageing flyer with van der Sar. Replacing such a top class difference maker isn't as easy as people make out.

The PL, anyone not called Grobbelaar or Reina covers a dodgy keeper for L'pool.

BTW, total if related aside talking Sealey, every Utd fan I've ever known personally who goes the game say's Rotterdam the Cup Winners Cup in '91 is the best European final experience. Topping even Barcelona in '99 your greatest ever season as surprising as that sounds.

Just one mad f-off party full of genuine lads before the 'new breed' of fan the PL has brought about.
