Lies from the pits of hell. If you want to debate please stick to the facts, rather than fabricate stuff to suit your narrative. Vidic turned 27 in October 2008 AFTER we won the champions league. Are you saying as at the time we won the champions league Vidic was still struggling?

And i never said he hasn't improved. Just that he is never going to be as good as Rio or Vidic. That was the origin of this whole excursion.


Vidic joined Man Utd in 2006 few months to his 25th birthday and his first season didn’t go well. Is that a lie?

He didn’t start playing regularly until he was 26.

Lindelof is 25.

If Vidić can become a top defender after a bad start why can’t Lindelof ?

That’s the point.

That’s the point.

Vidić came in mid-season and had a tough 5 months . By the next season after his first pre-season he was very good.

Lindelof is 2.5yrs into his United career already. 2.5yrs into Vida’s United career he was a multiple league winner, a champions league winner, and accepted as one of the best defenders in the world.

Finally i never said Lindelof was not good or not improving. I just said he would never be the level of defender Vidić was, especially in the air.

That would be shameful. And seeing when man's last logged in it's almost tallying with the time we scored two and it became obvious the bet was lost. Let's hope he proves you wrong

That Lingard is one of the best players in the team tells a lot about how bad we have become...
Elampiro, stop being disingenuous, I made this post in reference to the position held by ChristineC that Lingard was one of the best player in our team at that point. Those who can clearly comprehend what I meant will tell you that it's not an endorsement of Lingard rather, a honest assessment of how low we have sunk to have the name an average player like Lingard pop up in a discussion for the best player in the team.

Read to understand.

If we do a player for player comparison, you'd notice that Mourinho has the better team compared to LVG and yet the players at his disposal have so far underperformed prior to when they met Mou.
Mourinho has left the likes of Pogba, Sanchez, Martial, Rashford etc worse than they were before him, he has only managed to improve Lingard and Lukaku (his overall game), I deliberately refused to add Young cos under LVG, he was flourishing as a LW.
Now, compared to LVG who I think improved our players in his brief spell as manager, he has his lapses but he certainly isn't as bad ascyou might think...
In all, LVG and Mourinho have seriously underperformed, our style of player is drab, we play like a collection of total strangers hurriedly assembled.
Elamps how is this an endorsement of Lingard? I only noted that he had improved thanks to Mou.

Tell us the 3 seasons wherein Lingard was the most consistent forward for Manchester United.

Whenever you talk about players that are not good enough, folks will remind you of Players like Vidic and Evra. For God's sake, Vidic didnt even struggle the whole of the 2nd half of the second half of 2005/2006 season, It was just 1 or 2 games that he was not outstanding. 2.5 years after vidic came to man u, he was nominated for the the world Fifpro XI, ahead of world class defenders like Cannavaro, Nesta, Carvalho, Terry, Ferdinand, Lucio, walter Samuel, Puyol, Thuram and Sergio Ramos. So the Vidic example is rubbish, he actually hit the ground running. Evra was already beasting europe with Monaco before comming to united, had a couple of tough game before easily displacing Heinze, who at that was one of the first names on the team sheet.
Without exaggerating, i dont think most of our first team defenders now are even better than Mikeal Sylvestre and Wes Brown. Having said that, we are not writing anyone off yet, but they have to improve

Solskjær: "If you’re a wide forward, you’re facing forwards more and running at people. Now he’s [Martial] in a different position, where it is more physical and you’ve got to be stronger with your back to goal and be more patient."

Solskjær: "Sometimes, the ball is squared across the six-yard line and it’s where he [Martial] should be. I just nudge him and say: ‘It should have been a goal for you’. Scoring 25 instead of 15 is a big difference for a No.9."
