That Van Gaal quote about Kagawa is all over twitter but I don't know where its has come from or if its reliable.

Jaysus as a Liverpool fan, that Kagawa quote is disheartening. He's a brilliant player and has always been criminally underused at United. If Van Gaal is going to put him front and centre and build his team around him, then he could be devastating.

wonder if it is a real quote.

Regardless of that... it will be very interesting to see what the hell LVG does with him - and Mata and Rooney.

Kagawa won Dortmund a league title getting Van Gaal sacked in the process

His kryptonite if you will

Plenty of 18 year olds move away from home. On that money I'm sure he could afford to visit them often.

How many star signings do people expect this summer?

I think myself 2 with few more potential/solid purchases.

I can't see us getting 4-5 big names some expect or demand.

is there room for him and Mata in the same team though, especially one that will contain Rooney and RVP?

i suppose if City were able to play a side with Negredo, Aguero, Silva and Nasri then that 4 would work.


all we need to do now is find 2 players in the Yaya and Fernandinho mould to play behind them.

Play both Mata and Kagawa behind the striker.

5 for me with 2/3 announced before WC - I just think Woodward will make sure this summer will be anything but embarrassing, I get the feeling whoever we are likely to sign are already 70-80% complete.

Yes if you have some hard working quality central midfielders.

The only problem would be there's not a massive amount of pace in that front 4.

I see us getting atleast 4. Van Gaal walking through the Manchester Airport and behind him come Hummels and Strootman like a boss :cool: Expect the Luke Shaw deal to come through in the coming weeks. I also expect some other underrated chap to pop out of nowhere.

I edited my post.

I meant to put "star signings" at 2. I reckon 3-4 decent others.

I just don't expect 4-5 big names like some might hope or demand

Think it will be 3 significant signings personally that will strengthen the 1st team i.e quality over quantity. These being

Shaw
Kroos and
Stootman (but might not happen until January when he returns to fitness)

It's really hard to know. My head is telling me that we'll see two big names - probably Shaw and one central midfielder.
My heart wants us to sign five players - something like Shaw, Hummels, Kroos, Carvalho and Coleman.

It'll probably be in between, though. Three players (LB, CB, CM). We will employ a different system than we're used to seeing, and some of the younger players will be given a chance to show what they can do.

I think another important question is who will leave? That will be fascinating.

ya he has few calls to make with likes of Anderson Chico and Nani and few others.

Can see him wanting Nani to stay

Carvalho has apparently said he is staying at Lisbon for next season.

was said in one of the papers a few weeks ago that LVG had blocked Nani's move to Juve.

Kerrydude1981

I see a few of the rags linking Utd with a move for Feyenoord's Jordy Clasie,he set up RVP for that goal at the weekend

Anyone seen this lad play?

Maximus Alexander

If he puts Nani and Kagawa in the team and gets them both back to their best, I will be sold. They can put up a banner then for all I care.

Well, it's a huge squad considering we don't have CL football next season.
I think there's quite a few who could be gone. and there could be some shocks aswell.
Nani, Young, Cleverly, Carrick, Chico, Welbeck, Valencia. None of them are safe IMO.

Hope its true Mitch.

Think a fit Nani could be a nice weapon next season.

and apparently wants Evra to stay too, but i cant see the need for 3 Left backs unless Buttner will go out on loan, with Evra retiring then the next year.
