MRTA7: Zlatan was part of our problems in the first three or four months when he could not finish one vs one laid for him on a platter of gold, due to his lack of pace. We can improve on Zlatan. |

AdisaOwala: But he is right. We need more all around pace in the team. Lack of pace is what has blunted to a degree Zlatan's impact, accelerated Rooney's decline and limited Mata to being at best a tier 3 player all his life. Lack of pace is why Blind is a potential liability in almost every position he is played in. Pace is why i would choose Mikki over Mata. We are not saying we should go for egun ori players without technique like David Odonkor but we need a nice combo of technical ability and physical attributes IN THE SAME PLAYER. 6 Likes |

elampiro:Like you have pointed out, faster men around Zlatan Ibrahimović will help. I don't see how possible it would be getting a player that will be significant improvement on Zlatan Ibrahimović, unless the coach is moving on to a different style of attack. If this is the coach's thinking then a forward combination of Anthony Martial, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Antoine Griezmann can be perfect with Zlatan Ibrahimović playing withdrawn behind them. Sub options in Marcus Rashford, Jesse Lingard and Juan Mata. I don't know if Wayne Rooney will continue with the club but I hope to see quicker and skilful men in attack next season because counter attacking moves from Yesteryears were beautiful. |

elampiro: ![]() It's really not a bad news to me! Ivory Coast Players are bunch of Fools! Many of them are simply on the Pitch to showcase their Talents - playing as if they are exhibiting Individual Talents. It was obvious most of them ain't playing with passion and love for their Country, rather to catch the Attentions of the Scouts in the Stand..... probably from China! |

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Baldg: 10:39pm On Jan 24, 2017 |
Eureka... Guys, I have found the perfect foil for Carrick. he is William Carvallho. The dude is a Mop up midfielder and snuffs out attacks before it becomes a problem. He may not have Carrick's range of probing passes yet, but he's a beast of a player in stop-starting possession. Compare their Stats on Squawka. what do you think? |

elrony:Dude seems impressive, but don't think Monaco are willing to sell. He's one of their priced assets. What's his specialty or advantage over Carvallho? |

elrony:Try and compare the two Midfielders. Carvallho is pure Muscle and grit. he can only be bested by a technically gifted no 10, who doesnt mind doing the dirty work. |

"I think Jose is finding solutions now," the Scot told BBC Sport. "There was a period earlier in the season when he wasn't getting the decisions and his emotions boiled over. "You see him now - he is calm and in control. That is the obvious observation I am making of the team now. The team is mirroring its manager. "On Saturday at Stoke, they played to the last kick of the ball. They never gave in and got their rewards to take something from the game with that great Wayne Rooney goal. "And did you see what he did? Ran to the halfway line. No celebration. Pointed to the ball as if to say 'get it, we are going to win this'. That is exactly the spirit Jose has created. "You can see he has got to grips with the club. The team is playing really well and he has been very unlucky. He has had six 1-1 draws and in every game he has battered the opposition. "If they hadn't had all these draws, they would be there challenging Chelsea. That is the unfortunate part but he is going to have to live with that." Sir Alex Ferguson |

Baldg:I've wanted us to bring Carvalho here having watched him in last Euro and against R.Madrid, and looking at our midfield set up. He can replace Carrick without us making changes to the midfield I think. As for the other guy, I have not watched him. |

chrisley024: Although Carvalho is very talented his passing range in quite limited to be a Carrick type of player. Bakayoko is also a different style of player to Carrick so you wont replace Carrick with those two unless you want to change the playing style of the team. |

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Lana1(m): 2:34pm On Jan 25, 2017 |
Rumours circulating that the club plans on expanding OT to 88 000 seats. Good or Bad idea?? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by afrodoc2: 2:37pm On Jan 25, 2017 |
Carvalho is powerful, tenacious and sees danger early but he has the pace of a pregnant rhino and limited passing range. I have not seen enough of Bakayoko to make an assessment. But if you are looking to replace Carrick with a similar player your best candidates are Sergio Busquets and Javi Martinez. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by afrodoc2: 2:41pm On Jan 25, 2017 |
Lana1: Good idea of course. Game day income will increase and most games are practically sold out already so the demand is there. You need to see how hard it is to get tickets especially for marquee matches like vs City, vs Liverpool e.t.c. More seats will reduce the demand-supply imbalance. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Kagawa10: 2:47pm On Jan 25, 2017 |
afrodoc2: Is Bakayoko not a defensive box-box CM? I thought it was Fabinho doing the holding midfield role. Anyway, my ideal holding player would be Florentina's Badelj. There's also KSY of Southampton but I think he's regressed although the Saints often deploy him as a no 8, instead of playing him as a no 6. |
