The Manchester United Thread

still think fabinho would have been a very handy signing due to his versatility but doesnt look likely
 
GK- DDG,Romero,Joel

FBs- Valencia, Darmian, Shaw, Blind, Mitchell

CBs- Bailly, Rojo, Jones, Smalling, Lindelöf, Tuanzebe

CMs- Pogba, Matic, Herrera, Fellaini, Carrick, Periera, McTominey

Atts- Mata, Mky, Lingard, Martial, Young

STRs- Lukaku, Rashford, Zlatan

Thats more than enough depth there! Can't see anyone else in the league boast such depth bar City in the attack area. It's already a bigger squad than Jose likes to work with. Won't complain if anyone comes in. But am delighted with what we have going into this season.

Realistically it looks more like that... I've took Zlatan out as he won't be back until we are well into the season so doesn't count for now and McTominey shouldn't be near the first team. If you're counting him it's a sign that there is a real lack of quality there! No offence to him but he's nowhere near good enough yet.

Still think the attackers look awfully shallow, winger was a priority for me this summer! Can see why Mourinho wanted Perisic, he'll make do without but clearly wanted a winger/wing-back, however he planned to use him. That's our biggest weakness in the squad for me atm.

Put McTominey in as he's going to be training with the first team all season with Tuanzebe and Mitchell. More than good enough for the bench and cup games. And put Zlatan in as seen in an interview yesterday unvieling his new game. That could be back Oct. Hes defo gonna sign his new deal. Yeah a winger would be nice but not priority for me. Rashford can play there as can Periera who was fantastic left at Granada. Mitchell is a natural winger by trade and scored some beauty for the u23s last season.

Problem is with Rashford, Martial and co... as much as I like them all... they all don't really possess the whole 'keep wide, get to the byline and cross the ball' trait.

I mean, with Swansea we destroyed them second-half on counter-attack in last 10 mins when they came onto us. But up until that point we really did lack width, a lot of players inside and big space on the flank to exploit. We'll need to use it better going forward (if the fullbacks won't), as we'll encounter plenty of teams who will setup similar to Swansea against us!

Yeah kinder agree. Would of been a 100% better if Shaw was playing instead of Blind. Would of give us so much more width in the left and give Rashford more space at the same time. Need to get that balance sorted on the left like we have on the right.
 
Burton at home in the cup. Happy with that! Give the players a rest and hopefully see Romero, Periera, Tuanzebe, Mitchell get some mind.

If you're a Utd fan that goes the match you'd be MEGA ****** off that didn't come out the other way round.

Burton away is that good I'm seriously thinking of just going regardless once every year to pay homage!

Yeah, nice draw there.
I'm looking forward to the draw tonight. Might even get a few beers to scrub off the hurt of having to drop €540 on tyres this morning :'(
