Manchester United thread

[Stratton_Gun]

So pretty much like a polo shirt? Are buttons even allowed? I can get used to wearing that. I'd like to see the away and 3rd kit too before i make a final assessment.

Yeh I'm pretty sure the white kit we have now has buttons on it. I like it more than the home one we have now

Solid performance this morning, was good to have Kagawa back and Vidic, they can only get better and was also good to see Welbeck get some game time, altough i think he'd be better used as a CB as he can't find the back of the net

RVP as always, doing what he does best, was still worried until he scored the sealer, and what a goal it was. Bring on Wigan now.

 

[DREAM TEAM BUFF]

Any action taken after SAF lost it ?

Next seasons leaked kit

Would look better without the buttons.

Happy birthday to Sir Alex for yesterday.

FACT:
Manchester United is the only team in whole of Europe to not receive a single red card in 2012. #DISCIPLINE

"Mancini said he knew why City failed in their bid to sign the Dutchman but would not elaborate. When asked if it related to money, the Italian said: "It is not the problem."

A little more respect for Robin. Unless you're an Arsenal fan.
<3 RVP. So glad he chose us over the 300k a week cashed up minnows from down the road

Not sure what that quote above proves, other than Mancini saying it wasn't a money issue.

FWIW the biggest reason we didn't sign him is because we needed to offload the likes of Adebayor, RSC and maybe one of the current squad before spending. Mancini was very critical of that at the time and he also said in that interview that we didn't start business until three days before the end of the window. Well after RVP signed for your lot.

As for the minnows jibe, meh. Most genuine United supporters know what we are. Not bothered about those that don't.

Man of the match

Nani and Ando back in training

Rooney will miss Liverpool apparantely?
Mind games from Sir Alex?

Would not be surprised + i didn't think Rooney was injured in the first place.

will ando and nani be right for those scousers

 

[Cristiano Ronaldo]

Not sure man, maybe Ando but probably not Nani cause he's been out forever and no match fitness.

I am slightly worried for next week's match actually considering Suarez's form. But none the less will be great to see 3 world class players in Luis, Robin and Wayne (if he plays).

 

[PP34]

Rooney is actually injured.

Even without Rooney we should still do enough to win. We are the stronger team and SHOULD win

 

[Cristiano Ronaldo]

Yeah we've been in good form with/without Rooney this season + add Kagawa into the game where he would play in his preferred CAM position and we're looking alright

A quick guess of the lineup next week:

------------------------de Gea---------------------
-----------------------------------------------------
-------------------Vidic------Evans----------------
---Rafael------------------------------------Evra--
------------------------------------------------------
---------------Carrick------Cleverley-------------
------------------------------------------------------
--Valencia-----------Kagawa------------Young---
------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------RVP------------------------

I'd be happy with that.

 

[A Bit High]

United: De Gea, Smalling, Evans, Vidic, Buttner, Rafael, Scholes, Cleverley, Kagawa, Welbeck, Chicharito.
Subs: Lindegaard, Ferdinand, Valencia, Giggs, Young, van Persie, Macheda.

 

[A Bit High]

Another bullet dodged by us.

Was happy with our first half but in truth we were rubbish in the 2nd.

Question marks still on our defense on crosses but how the feck does a bald guy go unnoticed in the 6 yard box??

TWICE!!

Kagawa was very ordinary tonight and everything he touched either missed the target or was over hit and he was out bodied like a cardboard cut out. Also tell me why he did not take the shot at the death?

Lovely goal from RVP. Great ball from Giggs but it was all about RVP's first touch.

 

[Cristiano Ronaldo]

Kagawa looks like he's still adjusting to the speed of the English game to me. Some silly passes and loss of possession but again he was drifting around the ground which isn't really what he did at Dortmund from my knowledge. He should be high up the pitch almost as a second striker.

Great game though and RVP has now scored a couple coming of the bench in the last week.
We played shit in the second half and West Ham probably deserved to win but hey you can say that for loads of matches in the past, it's just the way we do it

Bring on those Scousers!

Yep but the way Giggs weighted it allowed the first touch. Magic bit of play all round.. Giggs in a white kit, late on in an FA Cup tie always makes something happen. Viera, ooo oh oh, Viera, ooo oh oh, he comes from Senegal, he gave Giggsy the ball and Arsenal won **** all, Viera, ooo oh oh.

Next seasons leaked kit

Every 2 seasons new kit innit? Wouldn't be next season if that's still the process.. I don't mind that shirt though if its used, wish they'd piss AON off though as a sponsor and Sharp would pony up some $$ Old school!

 

[Stratton_Gun]

Anyone else think that Kagawa is overated?
Every time he has played people in the media, on here etc etc are jizzing about him when I personally think he has been average. He doesn't look strong enough for England imo

Sells plenty of jerseys in Japan though.
