What disgusting amount would saints want for Clyne? Hopefully we use some common sense this summer.
Maybe ye could pay €25million to get him on loan for a season...
But sure who would be stupid enough to do that....

Maybe United will just buy Sterling when he leaves. Last club game I saw him playing he was a full back. Not a good one but maybe LVG might make something out of him.
I dunno seanie, Sterlings a bit small to be lobbing long balls up to him.

That's it - he could wait for the knock downs from the lampshade.

Looks like the pressure is off in the race for top 4 finish. Should now aim for third or even second.

Now for us to lose to Villa and f**k up all the good work

Just see Rooney's goal. It's a clinker.

Have to bury citeh next Sunday. They are owed a few from recent years. Time to start paying back.

This is bonkers,Utd have been poor for most of the season barring a handful of games yet it looks like we'll somehow get top four

Pellegrini's getting the boot,is Rodgers going to get it too?

United have been improving bit by bit all year. Van Gaal has a history of starting off slowly with a team and improving through the season. I'm blue in the face saying it here, to much derision at times, that United were getting it right and I did say I thought that when the run of games against the better teams (who wouldn't just sit in and defend) came that United would perform better. I've been consistent in this. A pity my detractors, who were quite happy to ridicule me at times, weren't man enough to admit that I got it right.

Anyway - lots to be played for. Chelsea are just too far ahead but 2nd is up for grabs though a bad run of results could put top 4 in jeopardy also.

I think the prevalence of social media is a factor here. In the last 5 years you hear it non-stop about how bad Utd supposedly are. 10 or 20 years the club could lose games and have a middling season without the same backing track of noise.

In fairness to United they are getting results and that's all that matters. I can't say they have played well or not as I have only seen them a few times. The games that I have seen De Gea has been the best player on the pitch for them but in years gone by how often was Smicheal the best player they had. There is a good bunch of players there and if they can be blended into the right formation they can be very good. Still shaky defensively but a top 4 finish and a few new defenders and United will be very hard to beat.

It's sad that I will be cheering for them to beat City as I genuinely think that is the only avenue that we have to make top 4.

United played well at home to Newcastle and QPR earlier in the season but the caveat of those teams being absolutely muck should also be noted!

United have found form in the last 3 games. Read an article a few weeks ago (forget by who) talking how Van Gaal's Bayern found form all of a sudden after a few months of mediocrity.

Mata on the right and Herrera both finding form have been key I think.

Can't be arse thrawling back through here but I recall a long debate how city were streets ahead of United. Just goes to show you how quickly things can change.

Don't rate City as a club at all personally, it's like the players know they are there for a cash cow and that's about it. 2 titles (handed to them by United in 2012 and Chelsea/Liverpool last year) and shocking performances in the champions league.
