Man Utd Thread:

[laoislad]

Yeah looks good on the face of it anyway,hopefully hits the ground running if it is done which appears to be the case.

Very attack minded side today De Gea, Jones, Evans, Blackett, Valencia, Young, Fletcher, Di Maria, Mata, Rooney, van Persie.  Only 1 midfielder on the bench in Anderson and at a stretch you might say Januzaj.

Yer in serious bother if ye can't beat Burnley. 3 or 4-0 to United I'd say.

I don't think there's much need for the "if ye can't beat Burnley" part.

Manchester United needed a goal take off Di Maria,Van Persie and replace them with Anderson,Welbeck?

[Carmen Stateside]

Van Gaal is a genius!

Im honest if nothing else

Di Maria's first PL game and Van Persie coming back from injury, Mata now looks injured also. This is the flattest Utd has ever been in all my years of seeing them play

No punch and too many side/back passes. In fairness Burnely worked their socks off and had 2 great chances. Mid table again for Utd

[thewobbler]

Can't understand why United weren't in for Alex Song. He'd improve their central midfield twofold.

[Asal Mor]

I don't think they should be offloading Welbeck either. He gave them a bit of badly needed pace when he came on and they looked more dangerous. Mata, Rooney and Van Persie all look like ould fellas at the moment.

Thought Rooney in particular was terrible, touch, which is usually excellent, was all over the place

[GJL]

No pace or urgency coming out from the back. The next time they play it will be a very changed team but will they be any better?

Well they can't be any worse ffs

[Zip Code]

Lump your money on them getting relegated. 

[seafoid]

Maybe LVG is playing a very sophisticated anti Glazer strategy. 3 5 2 to put the business  projections under pressure. 2 points from 9 in an easy startis poor even in china.

[stew]

LVG is a useless twat! A gander at the subs coming on since seasons start says it all and he continues to play young.

They have a cub that scores goals for fun yet he cannot get in there in front if eleven or Anderson?

This guy deserves to fail based on what I have seen so far!

[DuffleKing]

Not much sense to any of that stew.

He has what he has in terms of players - can't magic up better squad options to come off the bench.

The young lad you mention is very definitely beyond RVP,  Rooney, wellbeck & hernandez in the pecking order - two international captains and two other established international strikers.

[rodney trotter]

They are trying to offload Anderson before the deadline, the reason for him playing tuesday and coming onto today is probaly to show Clubs that he still exists,

A 2 week break now with the Internationals coming up, so the likes of Herrera, Shaw, Lingard, among others should be availabe then. Also Daley Blind, and whatever new additions are added before the deadline closes.

Hopefully Rojo gets the all clear with the work permit.
