How nah?

Ohkay - judging by his high standards at Juve, he's had a poor 1st season at Oldtrafford.

We all hope he improves next season.

World record transfer fee, Hyped and Top rated midfielder
5 EPL goals and 4 assists and team finished outside top 4.

It was a poor season based on expectations and his talent level. But I strongly believe he will do much better next season.

They should both get out!

It's even better we promote 2 talented kids from the reserves or academy to come and hustle for jerseys with bailly and lindelof! Those 2 quacks serve no purpose except to regress and lay on treatment tables!

After those 2 clowns the only remaining substitutes for them are Blind and Tuanzebe. If injuries come can they hold strong? I doubt o. We need one to leave in case of injuries. Oh, I even forgot Rojo. Well, let's see what Mourinho has in plan for us.

Our defense is poor, we need serious good confident CBs recruitments. Right now, I hate to admit it but Jones and Rojo are our best combo. Bailly has downgraded for a month now. Bailly is too rash and don't know when to keep it tidy or cool. It's all about strength for him. But we have to manage till season ends to get additions.

reminds me of sneijder.
United were putting in serious bids but they were holding out for higher. Ferguson promptly ignored and fast forward a few more years, he was playing in Turkey

That's another reason why we need to be great again. So every Tom díck and Harry would not be holding us ransom.

Sneijder own sweet me pass. Next person will be Everton/Barkley. Let me see how they will now sell him for £50m. grin

I think Bailly and Smalling problems are lack of proper positioning and poor concentration. They also find it hard to play against a team with technical movement. When they come against a team that relies on speed and strength to beat defenders, they are comfortable.

But I don't think we need new central defenders. These guys are young and will improve. Our four central defenders are good enough to carry us anywhere. The likes of Ramos, Pepe, Cahil, etc are on their peak and will soon start declining. Our defenders are ascending.

Nah seriouly, If i see one more Chelsea fan bashing Bailly on this thread, I go vex o...

Despite the different and atimes bizzare opinions you would get to read here from time to time (CC: Diademk07 & Nyabinghi grin cheesy), I think virtually al of us here have genuine love for the club.

GGMU ! cool

I don't have any hard feelings, no matter the provocation, except if another club fan comes here to talk their usual hate. Moreover nobody is praising Pogba have you seen me do that? I have been his critic right from day one, Check all my points even today I still did not, I only pointed out to that hollow Chelsea fan, hard fact he needs to know. Praising Kante while denigrating our players (Pogba and Herrera) by opposition fans publiclyshould not be tolerated, as it dampens our players confidence while giving opposition players huge moral. Lampard was a laughing stock when he joined Chelsea, De Gea was an error prone, yet talented youngster when he joined we know what happened after that. In 2003 when Beckham joined Madrid, we almost signed Ronaldinho, suddenly he went to Barcelona and snubbed us, most Arsenal fans in my area then(Chelsea dint have their sugar daddy then) were laughing at me then saying we are screwed, British media was awash with how we were snubbed.what did Ferguson did? He signed a certain skinny Portuguese teenager who was all bags of tricks without end product, we know how it ended up. If Degea, like Ronaldo, like the class of 92 whom our fans backed during their early years, not only Pogba but together Rashford and Martial will all come good and rule Europe.mark my words.

There's really no need to prolong this argument, the Pogba I watched this season with my eyes, didn't live below my expectations , putting a lot of other things into consideration. I don't need Pl assist charts to guide me for that.

He was brought in to improve our general play and that he did satisfactorily. He did his part. That we had forwards who couldn't finish to save their lives can't be put on him.

IMO, Morata & Rashford are the only strikers we would have - Mourihno doesn't seem to trust Martial in the CF position (the Frenchman's recent dip in form hasn't helped matters) & as for Rooney..............oh well Rooney!

I'd say we get a 25m rated winger / CF from Brazil ojare. sad

I'm disappointed with the way you reason. So Mourinho converting Hererra into a more defensive stalwart means he's exhausting him? Are you saying this because you don't like the coach or because you want to win the Kante-Hererra argument? Did Hererra come complaining to you that he's exhausted by Mourinho's method of training? When

If Mourinho didn't help Hererra's career, how come when Gaal was helping his career nobody gave a fùck about him? But Mourinho surfaces and destroys his career and pundits are screaming his praises? And Barca are suddenly interested in this player with a spoilt career?

Reading you type "Coaches play to players strength" while you still wrote that Gaal "benched Hererra because he wasn't good technically even though that where he was bought to play in" shows you're either hating or clueless or both.

You're very confused. According to you, Gaal benched Hererra because he wasn't technically good, then Mourinho came in, found out about this and tried him in another aspect and he excelled, but due to hating you're condemning Mourinho for getting his tactic spot on? Between Mourinho and Gaal who should be praised for playing to Hererra's strength and bringing out the best in him? You're very confused.

So you wanted Mourinho to bench Hererra since he sucked technically but excelled defensively and by so doing cost us this average season we manage to salvage at the end? Mourinho should have stuck with ageing Carrick and defensively inferior Pogba as our DMs in order to pacify you and ruin our season?

You no know ball if you call converting a player from his natural position to another position as "slavery".

Lahm played as a DM in some matches under Pep. Is Pep is a slave master?
Lahm played as a RB in the WC under Klinsmann, was he used as a slave?
Sergio Roberto currently plays as a RB for Barca, who sold him into a slavery?
Victor Moses plays as a wing-back and ultimately as a RB when Chelshit are defending, Hensben, why is Conte practicing SLAVERY IN ORDER TO BRING OUT THE BEST IN Moses?
Pep was a salve master for playing Fabregas as a false nine, no?
In short, Chelshit should be closed down for making Azplicueta to switch from his natural RB to LB back to RB and currently as a CB because he's a slave.


This is the kind of inexplicable foolishness one gets to hear just so you can win your Kante-Hererra argument. This is why I don't engage in these silly arguments - emotions tend to erase commonsense during such times.



So when Hazard was scoring goals for Shekpe under Mourinho's second stint, Mourinho was playing in a coward system? It's the same coward system that made Hazard gain weight and turn into a ghost all season in Mourinho's final season? So Hererra who's our DM should not be defensive so as to register 15 goals a season? Is Hererra a winger? So it's Mourinho that made the likes of Rashford, Mhikitaryan and Co to miss open net in matches we were attacking before our final matches? I made a mistake engaging you. Bye.

The point is Herrera's neither here or there!

Is a good box-box hustler? No, he lacks the intensity to operate as one. In fact, I've often noticed a major difference in the way Kante runs all over the pitch and keep up the intensity in the midfield whereas Herrera is a bit subdued in the same role. He would either stay as a marker to a particular opposition player or would just stay back to place himself in better position for interception. Looking at the way he operates, that should make him good for the holding midfield role which he mostly played last season but is he one of the best holding midfielder out there? The answer is still no! Because his ability to build up play and contribute in the control of the midfield is zero!

Hence, I would say he was decent-good for us last season but I would prefer having a better player in the same position for us. If we are to attain a worldclass position, Herrera should only be a squad player!

yea, he needs to and will improve. There was a point in the season where he switched off due to burn out. I believe he even had to fake that his last injury to get some much needed rest.
A rest that was prolonged by the unfortunate incident that happened to his father.
We all saw how he came back in the last games of the season.

This is probably even his first real pre season for quite some time now.

But you can't help but feel Pogba will never be rated objectively, not when they keep throwing that transfer fee into the equation, consciously or unconsciously.

We will keep hearing statements that sound like, he did well but not 89m well.
It is normal to expect talks like this from rival fans, but when they begin to come from our own fans, it becomes really funny.

A week before that Chelsea match, relegation-threatened Watford trashed us 3-1. you and I know that at that time United was rubbish and most of our players are trying to bed in. For the FA cup match, even Pascal Cygan will score against a team playing away, one man down, less than 48hrs after playing in a terrible pitch and travelled to and fro 6000 miles Russia, and missing several key players not mentioning the fixture pile up, saying it's a Pyrrhic victory is being kind to Chelsea, cos a superior team would have massacred us that day.

You said it's 25 approaching 26, when I proved you wrong with facts, you are holding unto straws about my choice if word.

And ofcourse Herrera silenced Hazard, or are you disputing that? He so much neutralized him that Chelsea did not even muster any shot on target, while on that he scored and assisted. Kante and matic were totally subdued in midfield by Pogba, allowing babies like Lingard and Rashford to toy with Luiz and Cahill.

I have told you why kante was so effective in both Leicester and Chelsea team, counter attack!!! hence his awards, well am happy for him.

Mourinho killing Herrera? By turning him from a bench warmer to player of the season,?!! Mourinho should please kill more talents at United, his talent-killing technique must be doing some magic.

Lol van gaal was good and he was shown the door. So many good players like Felliani, Schweinsteiger,depay, schnerderlien and the dross he wasted millions on, benching Herrera and hardly getting any shot on target for all our matches. My friend go and upgrade your football knowledge

And we didn't play counter attacking football? Our win against Chelsea was a full flowing possession based football from our end, right? Clap for yourself.

And you should be thanking Van gaal for promoting Rashford because if he hadn't, Mourinho would have been saddled with the same immobile ageing Rooney that played as the striker for 2/3 of Van gaal regime before Rashford emerged.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by afrodoc2: 2:05pm On Jun 10, 2017
What is funny is you expecting a 5m pound player to shoulder the same responsibility and expectations as an 89m pound player.

What is funny is the same people castigating Rooney for his top salary are now saying transfer fee does not matter.

If you are bought for top dollar or are paid top dollar the expectations are different from if u come in for peanuts or are paid same.

Pogba needs to improve his game and I believe he will but if he plays this level of football for the length of his contract it would have been a disappointment.

Tomorrow when he starts putting in excellent performances like Bailly, and you point it out Chelsea fans hailing you now,will dig up your post to mock you. Modric was a bench warmer in his first season at Madrid because he was competing with Ozil in the attacking midfield position, the following season Ancelloti moved him to proper central midfield behind Khedira and he excelled immediately, boom champions league they won, last week they added a third in 4 seasons while Ozil is chilling with 3 FA Cups in the same number of seasons. Herrera is a central midfielder not a defensive midfielder, he only played there because nobody in united could do the job more than him, 25m schnerderlien flopped. That is why we need a tactically stable DM like Fabinho to allow Herrera roam around influencing play the way he should. He can't be participate fully in build up play and midfield control when he is paying close attention to opposition dangermen sniffing them out and shielding our injury-ravaged/make-shift defence.
Modric can afford to, there is Casemeiro. Ramsey schooled Kante and matic in the F A Cup final cos Xhaka covered him. Silva can roam and influence play because he has Fernandino, Busquets was the foot soldier when iniesta and xavi dominated the world in both Barcelona and Spain. Herrera doesn't have that luxury. Get him a Good cover and judge him afterwards.

Although Herrera needs to improve? He is not a squad player, not after this seasons performance
