so he now prefers the RB position cuz he believes there may be vacancy there? after being touted as Duncan Edwards? Sir Alex must be shaking his head vigorously angry
sorry, I meant the CB but happy to play the RB. His constant movement from one position to another doesn't seem to help him.

That's the problem of being able to play many different positions, it looks like an advantage but usually a big weakness.

With the current squad plus Firmino,
Manchester United could play a
really dangerous 4-2-3-1 with
Firmino in behind Wayne Rooney
and the pace of Memphis and Di
Maria down the flanks. (culled from Soccersweep)

If we sign him then Mata will likely leave
and I wl hate to see Mata leave.

average team still. weak defence (we ain't even interested in overpriced Clyne anymore), slow midfield & nobody can bench Mata if they are all >90% fitness

Clyne is good just that he is overpriced bt I agree wt u on the defensize side. Do u think the midfield is slow? I don't think so unless u mean Carrick.

I'd take Coleman over Clyne. He has been consistent for up to 4 seasons now. Why spend big on Clyne with just one decent season?.

And Begovic is not LvG's type of GK. He'd prefer Cillessen or Valdes

LvG doesn't play 4-2-3-1

I'd love to see Mata leave. He's not strong-willed enough for Premiership. He can move back to La Liga and play stylishly there. EPL is gonna be tough and physical next season, and Mata ain't cut out for it.

And in that pic, i'll include Otamendi there and pray we get him. He's better than Rojo and Smalling.

Carrick should be off that list too, for Christ's sake, every other competitive team has YOUNG 4's manning the DM. Carrick is old and we can't keep depending on him. This sucks!!

how did you fall on this conclusion? the EPL has always been more rugby than soccer, it will not start next season; yet Mata has been ever present.

how many trophies have the pawa-mike teams won in the last five years?

LvG can just sign Vardy, Richards, Wanyama, Carroll & Dembele to spice up the stench he's been trying to neutralize since he arrived! embarassed embarassed embarassed

LOL @ Vardy. You misunderstood me. You know that Mata was ousted by Mourinho because of his lack of defensive ability and strength. Now, Mata plays on the wings under LVG's regime. You and i both know the wings requires pace, strength and dribbles which Mata lacks, so that's why i don't care if he's sold.

If you watch our matches when Mata starts on the wings, he drifts into the midfield all the time, because that's where he naturally plays. So if LVG can't play him in the midfield, he'd be benched or sold. You can't have a Depay, Di Maria and Firmino, and still keep Mata on the wings. That's stupidity.

i'ld like to think Mata drifting inwards was actually a tactic promptly deployed when the "difficult run" was around the corner & UCL qualification became paramount by hook or crook; which worked before the ugly beast named "injuries" reared its ugly head once more IMO. he popped up among crucial goals & assists @ the time, so i don't know why he should be picked on. it could have been better if we had a right back very competent exploiting the spaces he opened up, but that is by the way.

the balance LvG has been referring to, i believe, has to be pace to compliment the other qualities through the middle. Carrick & Herrera had the technique & vision @ the base on varying levels, Fellaini had the pawa & height further forward, Mata had the silkiness & vision further forward, di Maria could provide it added with the missing pace but he became off-color, so?

over all we can blame different sections of the team but i think the most failure came from our strikers, who always waited for clear-cut chances to strike accurately. in my opinion, that is where the major surgery is required for progress next season. what we even have as it stands, is good enough for the league if they can avoid injuries. the frantic search for more bodies is to have capable quality in case of injures again.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Cuzz: 3:47pm On Jun 16, 2015
From the pic above,i think Young is equally good for a start if depay performs badly.Otamendi inclusion will be enuf.

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by SailorXY: 5:51pm On Jun 16, 2015
Speaking about his plans for the tour, van Gaal said : ”I shall take a lot of youngsters with us to the USA. They have the chance to show themselves and then we shall wait and observe how they can develop. You get your chances always, especially in pre- season and, when you grab that chance, you have maybe the possibility to join us next season.

“A championship for the second team is fantastic. But I think one player every year in the first-team as a line-up player is much more important.”

At night I find myself praying our rivals splash the cash on overpriced players like pogba and overrated garbage like Sterling.. I will say this without wincing that the principal reason pogba's market value is this inflated(he is a very good player no doubt) is because the media likes a 'rejected rock becomes the cornerstone' story and his club and agent will cash in for sure... plus the chance to mock SAF is not to be passed up..

I'm not sure any English team will pay >£52m inclusive of salaries for him, not even Man City. if a bid in that range comes in for Pogba, Juve will sell unless he's not interested in a move.

this is why I say it doesn't make sense spending £50m on rookie like Kane. we no need Sterling, to hell with him undecided

many clubs are actively pushing to be shrewed in the market cuz of the FFP & it won't be long before we start seeing quality players move for less than £35m again.

if you place your bread @ #500 while there are similar quality out there going for half the price, nobody will be interested in your wares - so you either munch am & sleep or slash price!

football has become a full scale business now, I doubt if any club will sell any of their established players at a non-inflated price, and with PSG ,real and city ready to break the bank for fun let's see.. I thought UEFA has relaxed FFP rules, no?
