CL qualification is the target. We are no chance for the title, LvG knows this. Top 4.

agree mate I think we'd all be pleased enough with 4th this season

Need to pick our s**t right up if we're going to come even remotely close to top 4

 

[Noobz0r]

We've become Arsenal

Only two points behind Liverpool

 

[manureid]

Probably still a fair bit of LVG weighing up players and who has and has not got a future. Dont think we will see many of that MK Dons fiasco figuring in ongoing plans. Time to cull a lot of deadwood and replace with quality. Will win SFA if we have a Cleverly/Fletcher midfield moving forward, but I am pretty sure LVG knows this.

 

[SuperCats9]

Top 4 is a must. Heads will roll if it doesn't happen.

 

[SuperCats9]

Who cares.

Try and focus on the facts.

The facts?

Fact is we got Di Maria woooo!!

Seriously though, we need more than him, and WE NEED to get rid of the deadwood players at the club, there's lots of em'

Games like this morning helped LvG know who exactly should go.

 

[A Bit High]

Fun Fact - Only Messi & Ozil have made more assists in European Leagues than Di Maria since 2010

 

[Hawthorn United]

He was surrounded by talent. Let's see how he adapts in England and a midfield of spuds.

 

[SuperCats9]

Yep, big difference playing with Ronaldo, Benzema, Modric, Alonso, Khedira, bale, Ozil etc compared to Cleverely, januzaj, young, Valencia, Rooney, mata, Carrick, RVP.

Let's see how he goes.

 

[A Bit High]

s**t guys I was trying to lighten up the mood.....lift your bloody bottom lips up and realise we are in for a tough couple of seasons. Soon as we acknowledge this the better. Our squad is in tatters and poor results will not just turn around immediately

 

[GandalfTheDon]

Gotta love all the plastics on the United page though. Absolute ******* jokers. Every single loss "VAN GAAL OUT", "STOP 352" and "PLEASE GO BACK TO 433". Guess it's bound to happen when you have such a long period of success and all the glory hunters jump on

 

[pantskyle]

Lots of special supporters.

 

[A Bit High]

Yep most would not have been around when Liverpool were winning titles and a Milk or Coca Cola Cup win for United was cause for celebration

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

At Barcelona in the 1998-99 season the club stood 10th after 14 games and ended the campaign as champions. With Bayern in ‘09-10 Van Gaal’s side were seventh after 13 matches yet won the Bundesliga.

Van Gaal will create something special.

 

[A Bit High]

Not this season

EPL is tougher to win than those comps as only a couple of sides compete each year.

Also I bet he did not take over such a poor squad?

 

[Cristiano Ronaldo]

With no bias, who do you think would be the best winger in the league now when playing at their peak?
di Maria vs Hazard vs Sanchez

 

[pieman123]

As an out and out winger id probably just take Hazard ahead of Di Maria but Di Maria's overall versatility is why i would pick him as a player with Sanchez a bit behind those 2 atm.

[SupportMe]

Geoffrey Kondogbia should be a target for Manchester United in future windows if they can't land Vidal.

Stong and athletic CDM who can also play CB and would thrive in England.

LvG has always said his teams take three months to gel.

Does this include the pre season?

 

[pantskyle]

Does this include the pre season?

Not sure. LvG is fairly honest though when it comes to managing sides.

 

[rooboy_07]

will be good to get the transfer window over with finally and get right into the football.
