I said it when Man U went and bought Di Maria, that as great a player as he is he won't fix the problems at Man U which is the back 4. So far this season time and again the back 4 have been found to be sub-par for a club that claims their season goal is a Champions League spot

 

[Lockyer24]

No Jones and Evans though, but to be that light on is not good

We all said this. It was obvious. I'd still like to see Jones and Roho as the two centre backs though.

Van Gaal is the one claiming they will finish 3rd not me.

I don't see why it can't be done. Chelsea and City have been the best so far, and I'd be stunned if they weren't 1st or 2nd. Arsenal have been allover the shop and Liverpool have looked worse than last year.

You don't see why it can't be done?

Did you watch the defending last night?

If not then you will see it can't be done, if so I want what you're on and lots of it

 

[Mejekdraw]

United will slaughter Liverpool next game they play

It is a completely new team basically. Johnny Evans really shouldn't be near the United defence again.

Give it time. Did you miss Liverpool's performance?

 

[Cruyff14]

A completely new team which still can't defend.

I only watch United, they are my only concern

That pretty sums it up. You're not going to win too many games conceding five against a side like Leicester.

BUT THEY HAVE DI MARIA, FALCAO, VAN PERSIE & ROONEY!

 

[royals1922]

But they were up against the wrecking ball James Vardy

And we gave you Welbeck

No matter how bad we are that s**t is still funny

Hey hey hey, easy with that. We have the leagues 2nd highest scorer

 

[Cooldude]

Loads of big names but Di Maria is maybe the only one with genuine pace and ability to beat a man. Once he went off, everything was noticeably slow

He is an imperious player though, better hope he doesn't get injured

 

[Zidane98]

Talk of United wanting to tear up Falcao ' s loan deal I'd he gets injured again. Pity that won't get a refund on the 8 million loan fee.

It was 6 million and the loan fees is dependent on appearances.

But Jones and Evans arent even very good. So even with them in the side, it doesnt get a whole lot better...

City are plodding along nothing more at the moment, haven't looked fluent. Chelsea have looked good, Arsenal seem to be running into some form.

Everton have been all over the place, Liverpool have realised just how important the vampire was to them and that Super Mario won't replace him, Spurs are being themselves and don't know what they want.

The problem for Man U is that they have had what on paper is a pretty easy start to the season and have very little to show for it, only club I had rated as finishing in the top half you've played is Swansea and you lost to them at home, most of the others are likely to be relegated or fighting to avoid it in April. We'll see more in the next month, but on what has been shown so far this season it is not looking great.

As the season wears on squad depth gets tested, whilst up forward and across the midfield this isn't a concern for Man United, the fact that the back 4 look so weak already where improvement will come from before the January transfer window is anyones guess and if injuries mount then it will get worse not better.

They are not that shambolic. Jones has been decent.

Evans is average but Jones is good.
