I do not think Sir Alex sitting in the stands will make any difference.Infact...with him sitting high up there...he can see things better if a change is needed.Phelan and Meulensteen are more than capable of handling pitch-side management.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchester_United_F.C.#cite_note-150

Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.
News coming through that Rio is not going to play again this season. If that's true, I surrender the league now. Vida can't play every match and Brown/ Evans are not good enough.
Bugger. So our captain will have played about 10 matches for us this year. Wonderful.

Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.
Just need to keep Vidic fit for the big games I guess, though some would argue every game is big at this end of the season.
I wonder if we'll be adding an experienced centre-back to our shopping list next season.

Will you have any money next season? I'm sure I read on here (from Ryan I think) that the Glazers haven't put any money in for years?

Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.
Urgh, yes, had a brain lapse this morning. Obviously Rio t'aint captain no more.
Smalling has only been good when paired with Rio or Vida. He was part of the 4-0 debacle at West Ham, for example. He has potential, but understandably needs a leader next to him.
Vida is hardly injuryproof and regularly misses matches in the run in - so we're gonna be fielding Evans/ Brown at least a few times alongside Smalling. That's a terrifying thought against someone like Arsenal or Chelsea.

Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.
Since the Glazers have come in we've spent net of c. £3.5m per season - putting us just between Everton and West Brom. That's 5 years of not investing the money we've earned.
Until I see it happen, I won't believe we'll spend big this summer - even though it's clear we need to.

Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.
no Rio is huge blow but Smalling and Vidic seems a great combo and have been very good when having their backs against the walls.
Regarding money in the Summer, we'll get a keeper and maybe midfielder to but not sure what type.
Maybe SAF thinks Rooney deeper is the way forward with Hernandez clearly showing enough (will improve) upfront.

Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.
after reading about robbo yesterday i started to get a bit nostalgic.
found this vid on youtube (hope it embeds properly)
as united fans, we are so lucky to have seen these 2 give us their best years. just a shame robbo didn't have the same quality of players around him that keano had otherwise their medal counts would've been comparible. imagine both of them at their peak and in the same team, scary.

Just read about that, Hopefully he can make a speedy recovery. From what I've heard he's probably the best midfielder and captain we've probably had.

Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.
Hard to compare due to the quality of their respective team mates but It's a toss up between him and keano.
In my eyes I'd give the slightest of edges to keane.
Again, only in my opinion but keane is the 2nd greatest united player of my lifetime, slightly ahead of cantona and only behind ronaldo

Meh, I don't like playing English sides.
Saying that (within reason) it's a great draw. avoided Barcelona as their on the other side of the draw.
I think Chelsea being able to rest their players before the tie's will be a boost to them though.

Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.
We'll win one half out of four annoyingly.
Always the way against Chelsea, we start off great and then they dominate us, plus we can't win at Stamford Bridge, plus SAF has a shocking record against Ancelotti.
Annoying that we've got Chelsea, annoying too that we'd only get Barca in the final if we made it, we'll get destroyed in 90 mins, whereas we'd get slightly less destroyed over two legs.

Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.
Considering how our performances have been like this season, Im not holding any hope in the CL. Assuming we beat Chelsea, potentially having to beat Inter and then Barca's too much to ask for.
We've been talking about stepping up a gear for the last half of the season since January and it just hasnt happened yet.

Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.
Yes but we've been grinding results all of over the course of the season. There's no reason why we can't do it in the CL.
I think we have a decent chance this year again, just like I think Shakhtar will take Barcelona out of the cup (that's right, you saw it here first
).

I think that's very defeatist (nothing new) but I do think this side is probably a season too early for the Champions League but saying that apart from Barcelona were at least just as good as Chelsea and Inter so the possibility of making the final is their which in itself is an AMAZING achievement and anything can happen over 90 minutes.
