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?

Hes only in the WC squad because Stootman is out and another prominent midfielder (cant remember his name) is also injured. Hes no great shake from what I hear, just another Cleverly (not United quality). Theres supposed to be another young Dutch player (Alfaray I think hes called) whos supposed to be decent and of better quality

I've only seen him in the friendly the other day but multiple journalists have described him as the Dutch Tom Cleverly so doubt he'll be coming

Funny man,I kind of walked into that one

Anyone on here seen him play?

Sorry!

Not seen much myself, checked out the usual videos when looking at dutch midfield, likes pinging the ball around and getting stuck in for a little fella. One to watch at the world cup with or without United interest

Can't go into next season with just Rafael at RB. Just can't.

Whatsisname

He even looks like Cleverley

mewe

Ah it's great to be excited and optimistic about United again. And that comment about Kagawa, if true, hell the fcuk yeah!!

He looks like Cleverley. Thats about it

He plays as what Van Gaal would call a number 6 for a start

I agree, we need a good RB signing almost as badly as LB, Rafael misses way too many games and we've no backup.

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.

As long as it didn't impact signing shaw I would have no issue at all with Evra staying - would much prefer Shaw and Evra rotating than Shaw and Buttner. Don't rate buttner at all. AT ALL.

Mitch Connor

I would like to see how LVG coaches Cleverley - see what improvement he can get out of him. I do think he has good technical attributes; I think he has been badly utilized and coached in the last two seasons, when he should have been kicking on. Same with Jones and Smalling.

I'll give them the benefit if the doubt so that they were comparing them in looks! Suppose it just goes most are talking tru there h**e.

Be interesting watching the Dutch team at WC wondering who if any are coming

Strootman is expected to return to action in August.


I wonder if we go three in midfield - lets say Fabregas, Kroos and Vidal :P

.....with a:
---Kroos----Fabregas----Vidal---

---

Mata

---

Kagawa

---

---

RVP

One can dream.....


...then one wakes up :pac:

Wouldn't be surprised if Janko or Varela were promoted to back up right back given how LVG likes to give youth a chance and would have been briefed by Giggs about the up and comers.

well if Evra leaves, as it stands we would have only 5 defenders -

Rafael, Smalling, Jones, Evans and Buttner.

its a scary thought. being realistic, based on the huge injury problems that group has, we'd need at least 4 additions to that including Keane as option 9 and Varela/Janko as you said, as option 10.

we really are short at the back tho and need a versatile player like Ivanovic who can play in all 3 positions.

MagicMarker

Bring back O'Shea!!

RVN10

I wonder would he have any interest in Daly Blind , left back and has played defensive midfielder for Ajax and playing that position for the dutch teams, he won player of the season at ajax and is son of his current coach Danny Blind

If the late Best had stayed in United’s first team as long as Giggs has done, the Irishman would have played under Ferguson – at least in that first season, 1986-87, during which the Scot took over the club. It is that which strikes you first about the retirement of the most successful individual player in the history of English football: he stayed at the top longer than anyone thought possible.

Just looking back at Giggs and he had three or four careers! It's easy to be unappreciative of just how good he was because he excelled for so long his ability ends up taken for granted.

The flying, weaving winger that caused havoc still in his teenage years. Famous goal against QPR a great example eventually ended up playing central midfield and winning titles as old as 39. Its amazing what he achieved.

well.... this is an incredibly irritating article.

http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/477161/Man-Utd-agree-deal-with-Bayern-Munich-for-Toni-Kroos

Man Utd agree deal with Bayern Munich for Toni Kroos

MANCHESTER UNITED have agreed a deal with Bayern Munich for Toni Kroos.

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!

NOTHING in the rest of the article states we have agreed a deal with Bayern, or are even close. Jerks.

It goes to show the task in hand for LVG.

He has a lot of work to do.

I wonder will he get a surprise by lack of quality. I'm sure he is well aware, but I'm talking when he sees them on training pitch.

Has anyone realised the transfer window isn't open yet? Keep seeing people ask if Shaw is signed yet but the transfer window is not open till July 1st so it's entirely possible deals are done but there is no announcements planned.

I know these things will either leak out or be announced before its all official but I don't think we should expect much until July.

It doesn't fecking matter when the window opens. When did we agree a deal for Van Nistlerooij? Hernandez? Vidic?

in previous years, we had alot of our deals signed, sealed and announced well in advance of the window, so nothing stopping us announcing them now. trust me, Woodward will be so keen to tie new deals up, they will be announced within hours of being agreed.

lets not forget, Season tickets renewal are due in the next 11 days....

Fairly sure you can agree deals prior. But they can't be made official until after.

I would agree except its common practice to announce deals when they are agreed even when that is long before the transfer window is officially open.

Started with Wolves there. Trying to loan most of our youngsters. Getting promoted here so It'll be easier then. Moyes coming under fire from the press, (Out of FA cup, Carling Cup semi, 6th in the league :O )

Pfft, completed it.

I'm the Webger of FM.

I won't spend a Bob. I would have about 300 million after 4 seasons.
