Manchester United thread

Would think there is nothing in it, but for there to be a piece on the website..

 

[Oscarman]

Today's the day people!!!

 

[LukasTheGreat]

With Tito quitting you wouldn't think any deals will be getting done, it may very well galvanize the squad.

 

[Hawthorn United]

Just minutes away from kick-off.

Watching 7mate.

edit - 7mate needs to turn up the volume! Got the tv volume turned up and can still barely hear.

Ch7 commentator asked RVP about Fabregas.

Answer he gave kinda sounded like "umm sure why not"

Yeah, not much else he could say though, wasn't going to say "no". Said he hasn't spoken to Fabregas either but I reckon he has.

Good performance overall by United, Welbeck looked good and so did Lindgard and Zaha, some promising youngsters.

44 is a jet

Great night. Zaha will be fantastic for us and Wellbeck was great too. Was pleasantly surprised by how good the atmosphere was.

 

[pantskyle]

Was a excellent experience.

 

[rooboy_07]

it really was absolutely brilliant what a week

Really been impressed by Lingard. Never seen him play before the All Star game. Has got on the score sheet tonight as well

 

[Lockyer24]

What do people think we actually need? I think a fit Phil Jones helps us in a lot of ways, I'd be happy with 1-2 central mids, not necessarily a DM, and a young up and coming CB

 

[Cristiano Ronaldo]

i would only like the 1 CM at this stage. someone who would've given us more control in the middle (obviously Thiago would've been great). we got 4 wingers (i'm not hearing much on Nani's future and seems like he will stay), enough CB's (buy another next summer when Rio will probably move on or in January), cover for both fullbacks with the addition of Varela and enough strikers (pending on Rooney's stay). our stocks in AM looks good now too with the emergence of Januzaj and could probably throw Lingard in there too (pre-season matches i know but both look to have a high ceiling). so yeah just that 1 CM would be nice.

 

[pantskyle]

A player like Fabregas is what we need. Or better yet him. (Won't happen) but yeah that position or type player is what we are desperate for.

 

[LukasTheGreat]

Modric would be lovely, can't see that happening either. We should hopefully see Kagawa have his best year with us so far.

 

[pantskyle]

This is starting to turn into a real bad market for United.

They can't seriously believe we have a squad that can match it with Chelsea and City and the big UCL clubs.

 

[Cristiano Ronaldo]

i think we're okay in the league but it's scary how far behind we are in Europe

 

[DaSawx]

Pretty sure we outplayed a semi-final team and got unlucky with a send off.

Perspective.

Kudos for going for guns IMO, when who knows if a Strootman or Van Gink would really add anything.

 

[SupportMe]

Still no freakin' proper CM.

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

The problem is now that sir Alex is gone we are yet to see how the players respond we haven't had the best squad in the premier league for a few seasons now but kept winning because of sir Alex hopefully it's the same case with David but I'm starting to doubt it, also with David as our manager were unable to attract the quality of player who should jump at the chance to play for the biggest club in the world

 

[pantskyle]

I have zero confidence that we will sign anyone of worth this window. Sad to say but we may drop a few spots this coming season, however hopefully that means actual changes that improve the squad.

calm down young Pants, we'll still challenge for the title.

Up until which point?

I still think we'll finish fourth but I don't see a decent CL run or a top 2 finish in the league with the team we have.

top 3 is a certainty, and if we're not in contention for the title come CL knock out stages, expect to see us do really well. When was the last time we didn't have the league to worry about during our CL run?
