Its such a shame. Of all the bad things that happened today and I can't even post that gif of the bird ****ting in Youngs mouth to lighten the mood.

I think that post sums up the day on so, so many levels :pac:

Yes, YouTube is grand. They are to take care of their own copyright claims apparently, so Youtube videos are grand.

For now.....

I heard Benetia is off to Chelsea.

Highly unlikely. We need to sell or loan a foreigner before we bring in another.

I was one of those who gave Moyes plenty of time and I have no problem with people being patient with LVG, I am also one of those. I am in no way against LVG but Moyes was slated, early on, for things he siad in interviews, starting line ups, lack of sideline activity and sustitutions.

I have no problem with being patient, but mistakes on day one are as costly ones on day 365.

LVG today had the type of day that would have gotten Moyes hammered, absolutley hammered on here. From things he said, subs he made and things he didn't do on the sideline.

Actually, yeah you've reminded me now. I do remember people freaking out about things Moyes was saying in interviews and press conferences from the start. And that hasn't been the same so far with LVG.

Win or lose this season, people who genuinely worry about what managers say in public are in for a rough time with Louis.

Ashely Young young Young

Ashely Young Young Young

To the left to the right
To the **** beat tonight
With the fat brass he is class
And! bird ****s in his mouth

Louis in the relegation zone already?

Whatever that is appears to go behind his head, no? Just looks likes a poorly timed gob of spit to me.

Poor Ashley, first his missus makes a tit of herself at the awards and now this crap.

So lets say we eventually get Rojo and Benatia then thats defence sorted.

We just need something inspiring in the middle of the park and maybe DiMaria just cause he might be available.

Sorted.

If one of them gets injured...it's back to today's lot, that's United's problem in my opinion. You need to sign replacements for the first team signings too. It has only taken one injury to Shaw to see Young at left back.

Ferguson for example was getting performances out of these players, if you can good enough performances out of them, then only a few players are required.

I think even if we play 4411 (or 433 as van Gaal calls it) we're okay for wingers and pace. Welbeck as a striker and Nani on the wing have lots of pace. Young and Zaha are okay back-up wingers and both have pace. From further back, Rafael has plenty of pace and Shaw is really fast. Januzaj doesn't have much pace, but he beats players with ease and is a good crosser, so I think he's very good on the wing.

The only thing that would really concern me about wingers, if we go with 4411 permanently, is whether or not Nani is going to continue to be a sick note. If he is, then maybe we need to go out and get a top class winger and sell/loan out a few of the back-ups.

With the 3412 I'd be worried that Mata, Rooney and RvP wouldn't be fast enough. I think PhlegmyMoses said it earlier, RVP coming in won't fix a lack of pace when we're playing 3412, so either him or Rooney would have to be dropped for Welbeck or Nani or one of those.

I can understand people wanting the likes of Di Maria, Sanches (too late now) or Cuadrado, but I'm not too concerned about them myself. As long as Nani is going to be back to normal health and especially if we're going to play 3412 a lot.

Sound's awful. Something sam allardyce would say to keep everyone happy

Scholes said the only player on the pitch today who would get into previous strong United teams would be Fletcher before he got his illness, a little over the top maybe but the lack of quality in the squad compared to Arsenal, City, Chelsea is frightening

I think you forgot Liverpool there also. I'd love love love United's front line. But genuinely think we have a better overall squad than United this year.

From the current united team, I'd have DeGea, Mata and RVP and Rooney. Other than that it's very average. Check all my posts, I'm not a troll. But United's situation now reminds me of us a few years ago.

I think the fact of the matter is it's going to take you 2/3 years as a club to turn it around. There are no quick fixes, and money is not the answer.

But the cream always rises, and it might be a year or 2..maybe 3, but United will be back, there's no doubt about that.

Just outside the relegation based on alphabetical status, fourth from bottom to be exact as it stands if either Arsenal or Crystal Palace wins their match might be pushed down further, still 37 games and 111 points left to be won.

How Soon Is Now · 16-08-2014 06:00PM

Has anyone else mentioned Benatia online other then Jim White? Seems a bit random he's saying that sky normally don't comment unless it's coming from somewhere.

Man Utd have plenty of problems that have to be addressed if they are to make a run for the Champions League spots or very quickly it could be a second season without the Champions League.

Firstly, they need players. New players need to be brought in and when they're in, ship a rake of non-performers out. The defence and midfield needs urgent reinforcements with new players. Look at the players left in defence - Evans, Jones and Smalling. They are earnest players but they are far from being able to compete in the upper echelons of the Premier League, never mind in the Champions League. They are not comfortable with the ball at their feet. In the midfield, the non-attacking players consist of Carrick, Cleverley, Fletcher and Fellaini. Again, these are players who simply can't compete against other top 4 combinations.

Secondly, the team aren't cunning or mentally strong enough. The team simply do not have the resolve or heart at the moment. There are no leaders and there is no-one there to be 'the glue' that binds the team together. Rooney as a captain is a joke in my opinion. As a player, he is fantastic. But that's because he can score goals and is relatively self-serving. He does not have charisma or leadership ability in my opinion and that permeates through the squad.

Thirdly, there is a lack of leadership from the top. The Glazers haven't been good for United in my opinion.

They are the main problems with United. Hopefully van Gaal can salvage a season but the honest truth is that the squad don't have the players/

Haven't seen it anywhere else, but there must be something of substance in it for sky to be talking about it, come to think of it, the fact that nobody else is talking about it might make it more reliable. Going on how all the rumours seem to be complete BS this season.

DO you not think that Januzaj is actually better than Ronaldo was at 19? I certainly do.

He is not, and it's not all that close. People seem to forget that Ronaldo had some great spells with us in his first two years, but his main issues were consistency, and just how horrendous he could be when not having a good day (in every sense of the word horrendous).

Januzaj has a higher 'base level' the Ronaldo did at his age, but Ronaldo's potential and ability when on form were definitely better at 19.

I'm a big fan of Januzaj though.

I dont know if Ferguson was getting decent performances out of Smalling though .
He is a terrible footballer ,weak of mind and awful on the ball .
Im not sure he is even good enough for the Premiership never mind Man Utd.

The signing of two quality centre backs is imperative

Jim White is usually decent as well on Twitter.

That's a fun way of disagreeing with an opinion. Well played.

Reedsie · 16-08-2014 06:35PM

You'd wonder from a PR perspective if Man Utd might leak information such as the Benatia thing right about now. Long shot maybe but you'd never know.

Jones, Smalling and Evans are all right footed so I thought our next central defensive signing would be left footed (like Vermaelen) but of course they might not be available.
