    Based on?

    based on the fact this summer will be the last time united will get a decent transfer fee for him given his age and the fact he has been linked with a move to Real madrid so many times in recent months before his injury in the press, this longterm injury could stop that departure from happening though, another reason its just a gut feeling I have, I had the same gut feeling about scholes coming out of retirement and I was right despite the abuse I took here for suggesting such a ludicrous thing

    Makes sense. Possible I guess given we have 2 young lads there to take over.

    Meh to this. Im sure we all get these from time to time. We only remember the ones we get right (1 in 100s) and tend to ignore the ones we got badly wrong.

    We were buying him before he got injured though,not the same as some team making a random offer,i think he may see his career out with us all the same.

    I didnt think he officially signed though? We would then assess the situation after his injury as any team would with Vida.

    Hope we keep him

    I meant we wanted him, his injury only delayed it, plenty of articles about covering how he got letters from Fergie etc, he was coming to us and his injury only delayed it somewhat.
    Nobody is courting Vidic at the moment and it will be a 30m+ bid to take him away imo.

    0 chance Vidic will be sold, willing to bet money if you want.

    Who do you guys think is a better player and would be best for united Parker or Tiote, if fergie persists with 442 in europe next season we will need a player like that to protect the back four, I havent seen him play Rooney up front on his own in a long time

    Yes, I'll take action on this as well.

    You have to remember we didn't exactly break the bank for him wrt a transfer fee. He will be our No1 CB for the next 3-4 years then we will gradually phase him out.

    being watching Fulham game and Clint Dempsey played very good again.

    you reckon he is good enough for the UTD team.

    United have a first option deal on Dodo until 2013, when he turns 21 afaik.

    Rooney has scored twice against Tottenham, City and Liverpool and three times against Chelsea and Arsenal this season. Some going!

    De Gea with another solid performance .(hOpe I don't jinx him).

    The perfect win. Shockingly poor performance and three points. Really only the city away game that sticks out in remaining fixtures.

    I think city are going to have to beat united to win the league.

    Right, hands up, who were those saying that Young is a fair weathered player who only plays well when the team is in good form? :pac:

    That's a big 3 points but in fairness we rode our luck.

    First 2 goals completely against the run of play, whole thing reminded me of the Chelsea game but without the giving away 3 goals!

    I've given him a bit of stick for recent poor performances and rightly so IMO.
    Hats off today though,he stepped up when needed.

    He has awoken from his slumber in the last few weeks.
    He was anonymous from Oct-Jan after a great start to the season.
    Extremely patchy player .

    I think people were judging Young way too harshly tbh! He's only played 22 games for United and has been pretty good in around half of them. He's had some poor games though I admit.

    Assisted the last min goal at Norwich last week as well.

    Utd should go on and win the league now ,they have a far easier run in ,
    one of the easiest in years.
    In fact they could win the rest of their matches except the City match.

    Man City have to go away to Swansea,Stoke,Arsenal,Newcastle,Norwich,and play Chelsea (sans Avb) at the Etihad.

    Yeah, that's the type of player he is. Always good for an assist or a goal out of nothing though. SAF knew what he was getting with him.

    Nani was very poor today, the only thiing of not he did was lose Modric for the throw in the build up to the second goal.

    I know, but when the pressure is on, when the game is level or we are losing he tends to do more bad then good anytime I have seen him, even today he was woeful! Until the game was pretty much locked up.

    I really hope he can become a player who consistently plays well for us.

    Easy run ins on paper count for nothing.
