Young scored 2! Afrodoc, Coogar is coming |

Van Gaal: "we can switch to 4-3-3 when the other system doesn't work. But if we play that we have 3 strikers on the bench. That's not good" Van Gaal confirms 3-5-2 is the way MU will play this season. Says also squad lacks "balance". Says "we have four number tens". Likely one of the no.10 will leave It's like we go with 3-5-2 and 4-3-3 this season 1 Like |

Ander Herrera has been given the MOTM Award |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by SailorXY: 7:17am On Jul 24, 2014 |
all gave good account of themselves except for Shaw & maybe Evans. Shaw was timid & very unwilling to take on his full back, hopefully his bed-in time won't be too long |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by SailorXY: 7:20am On Jul 24, 2014 |
Rafael was too eager to impress, he still did ok. I was surprised Hernandez played no part even without a recognized striker on the pitch, not good signs for him! Tom Cleverley did really well to me, he was very willing to get on the ball. it was unlike him... who are the four no. 10s van Gaal is talking about? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by chrisley024(m): 7:30am On Jul 24, 2014 |
Mata, Kagawa, Rooney and Herrera I guess |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by SailorXY: 7:40am On Jul 24, 2014 |
Rooney is no no. 10! unless he's also adding Januzaj to the list |

Playing 3 defenders without Hummels+Vermaleen will be a catastrophic attempt in the EPL. Jones+Evans+Smalling Please! |

MaziOmenuko: Playing 3 defenders without Hummels+Vermaleen will be a catastrophic attempt in the EPL. Our 3 back men were very comfortable today. The worry came in the 2nd half when we appeared to have four men at the back, and as Galaxy pressed to reduce the tally. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro2: 8:37am On Jul 24, 2014 |
Gaal was reported as saying he needs two new players. |

van gaal shouldnt give that armband 2 vanpersie,it wud be unfair 2 d football world...rooney? It would be better 2 rest it on either fletcher or carrick 2 save controversy |

psalmdave: van gaal shouldnt give that armband 2 vanpersie,it wud be unfair 2 d football world...rooney? It would be better 2 rest it on either fletcher or carrick 2 save controversyI think he will eventually settle for Carrick. My gut feeling tells me so |

psalmdave: van gaal shouldnt give that armband 2 vanpersie,it wud be unfair 2 d football world...rooney? It would be better 2 rest it on either fletcher or carrick 2 save controversyoh please! his captain should be one who will command a regular shirt week in week out. I don't think Fletcher or Carrick will do that if we sign another CM/CDM |

elampiro2: That's LA Galaxy! I'm talking of the Epl. On the bright side, the pre-season seems to be shaping our pretty nice; unlike the moyes era where we had diffiulty getting results even at far away asia. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by SailorXY: 8:58am On Jul 24, 2014 |
elampiro2:the only let down will be obvious lack of experience, and Smalling is not too comfortable in possession but has enough pace that's why I think he should be in the middle of the three CBs. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by PietroRico(m): 9:04am On Jul 24, 2014 |
Guys, relax. They only recently started this 'alien' system. And they've had just abt 4 days of training. As time goes on, they'll get more used to the system. It's no use passing verdicts already based on the above. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by coogar: 9:11am On Jul 24, 2014 |
afrodoc: and every man & his dog know whoscored are crap when it comes to compiling assist charts. they do not give assists for a player that wins penalty for his team. you should stop arguing & use your own logic. young had more than 1 assist in the premier league last season. chrisley024: Young scored 2! but young is useless.....it baffles me how a useless winger can get a brace & world class wingers like valencia cannot. psalmdave: van gaal shouldnt give that armband 2 vanpersie,it wud be unfair 2 d football world...rooney? It would be better 2 rest it on either fletcher or carrick 2 save controversy i am not a fan of a striker getting the armband. someone who can see the whole of the pitch during the game should be getting it. a defender or a goalie should get it but it's so bad none of those is experienced enough. between rooney & RVP, RVP deserves it 1000 times more. rooney acted like a traitor(twice)!!! |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Nobody: 9:13am On Jul 24, 2014 |
coogar:So who do you think should cop the band? I'm not for Rooney for the reasons you stated above. I'm thinking Carrick when he returns from injury. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by coogar: 9:18am On Jul 24, 2014 |
StarBoard: herrera has taken carrick out of the team. there's no way carrick will play 15 league games this season unless herrera gets injured. if we get vidal, carrick should just get a transfer request & join up with rio & harry redknapp at QPR. the captain should be johnny evans but i am not sure he's vocal enough. de gea is too new to get it. evra could have been the most suitable player. valencia is too stüpid to be a captain. young is hated by most, mata & kagawa are too new. RVP should get it! |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by SailorXY: 9:27am On Jul 24, 2014 |
coogar:hahahaha too st與pid? Young tho, will never be captain even if baths in River Jordan |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Nobody: 9:28am On Jul 24, 2014 |
coogar: I think it's too early to say this with any certainty. Remember this was LA Galaxy. We shouldn't be getting ahead of ourselves. Sure Herrera looks the baller, but he hasn't proved himself to me where it matter most, the EPL. We will still need him in some way or the other.(Carrick) coogar:Why not try David De Gea? He has some stature of some sort given he was our best player last season. I think that is exemplary leadership even theough we had a horror season. Plus the old timers (minus Rooney Fletcher and Carrick) that would have been in contention for the band are no longer around. It would be interesting, though I think van Gaal would prefer loyal and experienced folk as his captain. I think RVP being captain will do nothing to heal the apparent rift between Rooney and himself. But I may be wrong o. Just my opinion |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Nobody: 9:30am On Jul 24, 2014 |
SailorXY:Hard to disagree with that. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by SailorXY: 9:44am On Jul 24, 2014 |
chrisley024: Januzaj has not even joined the squadJanuzaj was on the bench |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro2: 9:48am On Jul 24, 2014 |
PietroRico: Guys, relax. Commercials appear to distract him too. ........ Excerpt: Van Gaal admits: “We have to prepare for the season and when you have a lot of commercial activities also for the players, and you have to travel distances, you have to fly a lot, you have also jet lag, and that is not very positive for a good preparation. "But the tour was already arranged (before I became manager) so I have to adapt and I shall adapt." Van Gaal: With Shaw and Herrera at press conference Regarding the United players, van Gaal is happy with how they have responded since he joined up with the tour party: "I have to say that it has been fantastic. "The players are anxious to follow the instructions of my assistants. The focus I have seen in the training sessions, it is top level but we have to see if the performance in games is top level. "But I am very happy with the labour that my players do in the days I have been with them." http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11667/9391319/manchester-united-louis-van-gaal-unhappy-with-pre-season-tour-mileage |

SailorXY:kk. Didn't know he's back. Though I don't think Van Gaal will see him as a 10 |
