Would'nt bother with it. Doesn't even sound like a legit account!

It's another ITK account. Names the MEN as source. There isn't anything on the MEN site about it though.

I just want to see them play.

I still have the memories of last season in my head. Looking at the team selection before a game thinking "Yeah, this team should win comfortably" and then watching the horror unfold.

That won't go away until I've seen this team in action playing attractive attacking football again and scaring the crap out of visitors to OT.

Pre-season games will be class in July!

Wouldn't really say ITK. They just tweet all news, transfers, rumours, line ups for United. Don't claim to know anything.

I won concert tickets in a draw down at my local on Monday.
Was watching Uruguay on Tuesday with my liverpool supporting father when suarez bit Chiellini
Wednesday was my birthday
Herrara Thursday
Shaw on Friday

I'm just about to pop down to Supervalu to do a quick pick for tomorrows lotto, I'll post the numbers when I get back if anybody else wants in on this luck, I'm feeling as generous as our main man Ed at the minute!!

Adamocovic · 27-06-2014 03:23PM

Is Stefan de Vrij definitely joining after the World Cup as well, or is that just speculation?

Means nothing really. They've suspended betting to protect themselves. People lumped on to de Vrij to United so the bookies closed it.

If Woodie pulls off three in a week he'll be forgiven for last year!

Ha just saw this after my post about De Vrij, yeah read an article from a while back saying the deal is done and will be final after world cup

Rayne Wooney · 27-06-2014 03:28PM

Know very little about De Vrij, he'll be our youngest centre back if we sign him, one of Evans, Jones or Smalling will really need to step up next season

If Jones got a whole season in centre back I can see him establishing himself. Great heart and has the talent. Just unfortunate that he's too versatile. If he got a whole season in the one position it would help him loads.

MagicIRL · 27-06-2014 03:31PM

de Vrij would add depth but he hasn't the experience someone like Hummels would bring. I can only assume if de Vrij comes in then one of Smalling/Jones/Evans is going out.

No he won't, we need to keep demanding of him... the more we demand the more he's delivering
credit to him he's done deals quickly and is appeasing those who said he's unsuitable for the job

It's been a good week to be a United fan..

Shaw although over priced looks a cracking player at 18.. keeping on Evra makes more sense now so that gives Shaw time to bed in..

Herrera I know nothing about him but have heard him described as an attacking midfielder, I though United were pretty stacked in this position

Herrera is a multi-talented midfielder, can play deep in midfield or further up, very good passer and tackler.

From what I've seen Herrera does some weird stuff. He plays centre mid but instead of passing the ball to the side and backwards like our current players he passes forward and runs forward with the ball. It's odd

That makes more sense.. I would imagine he will be a deep role given the options ye have in attack..

Very odd, passing the ball forward??

Knock Off Nigel · 27-06-2014 03:48PM

What's people's view on garay going to zenit for 12mil I thought we should have bought him as replacement for vidic.

He went for 15mill anway?

15M euro/12M pound.

Spazdarn · 27-06-2014 04:00PM

I'm really happy that we have a player that can receive the ball in midfield with back to goal and bring the ball forward with him. Clev, Carrick et all ****ting the bed and passing backwards the minute an opponent comes here them.

Knock Off Nigel · 27-06-2014 04:03PM

He must be getting good wages at zenit don't know why a potential world class player would want to play in the Russian league other than monetary reasons.

For a cheap transfer fee like that United surely could have matched the pay packet?

While I think he is a good player and would be a good accusition he is no way in hell potentially World Class.
