Manchester United Thread

Still more 'rumours' of us looking at Wanyama from Celtic.

Young, physical, ball-winning midfielder that would be a great addition to our team.

No way it'll happen. Fergie will go buy another teenage winger or centre back, so he can finally perfect his dream of the 4-0-6 formation.
 
Oh and Ferguson has charged himself, btw, for comments about Simon Beck. In the same round of 'investigations' both Mancini and Redknapp were written to, but not charged.

That is the extent of Fergie's brilliance. Controlling the FA, and charging himself to remove suspicion. Mwahahahaha.
 
Need to win are next two games and hopefully in style so we can get to 60 minutes and bring off the likes of RVP, Carrick and Rio/Vidic, those guys need to be 100% spot on for Real.

I wouldn't play any of them against Everton, worse case scenario would be bringing on RVP if we need to but we should be OK considering Rooney and Nani need to play their way into form and get the most minutes in the next 3 games.
 
Must must must must beat S'hamtpon now. No faffing about with the Golden-Oldies, no experimental lineups, no midfield-less monstrosities. 3 points = 7 point lead. That is all that matters. Fulham match on Saturday can be thought about on Thursday.

-----------De Gea----------
--Rafael-Rio---Vida--Evra--
-------Carrick-Clev--------
---Nani----Rooney---Kagawa-
------------RVP------------
 
FUCK that was a massive boost tonight, like I said above though, I'd take a point at Everton if we have too just to get the lads 100% prepared for Real.
 
We are looking good on the league table and we could win the FA cup this season. We won 4-1against Fulham while others like Chelsea, Tottenham, Liverpool struggles. Arsenal,Man u or Man c could win it this year.GLORY GLORY MAN UNIIIIIITED !!!!!!!!!!!

Number 2 actually, I think. Palop's always in goal whenever I've seen Sevilla this season.

Lopez made some good saves for Villarreal when we played them a few seasons ago.
 
I dont think United stand a chance against Real to be perfectly honest guys. The back 4 I think looks shakey, De Gea keeps pushing shots to the side resulting in easy tap-ins which you dont want to be presenting to Ronaldo, Benzema, Di Maria etc.

I can see United being beaten at the Bernabeu and maybe drawing the 2nd leg at Old Trafford.
 
Poor Carrick:

-------------De Gea------------
-Jones--Smalling--Vida--Evra---
-------Carrick---Ando----------
----Rooney----Kagawa----Welbz--
---------------RVP-------------

Bit of attacking talent that (!)
 
Weird 1st half. Some moments of true quality, one moment of madness and other than Southampton have been reasonably comfortable. We could use some luck though. Lots of posts/nicks preventing the key goal.

Also the pitch at OT is an absolute disgrace. It's what led to Southampton's goal as it bobbled up on Carrick (who then royally f*cked up).

Depressing how easy it is to play against us sometimes. Southampton hold the ball in defence long enough to get players up supoprting their forwards, then hoof it. Boring but it's been effective.
 
What happened to our second half?? We couldn't keep possession if our life was depended on it!! Southampton did great piling the pressure onto us.

too nervous of a second half for my liking, but 3 points nonetheless and a gap of 7 points ahead at the end of January is always great.

Should have been 3-1, van Persie was never offside from Rooney's cross
Click to expand...

That's about the 5th incorrectly ruled-out offside goal we've had this season. 2 clear pens in the last 3 matches not given too. Oh and Fergie is banned.

But clearly United get all the decisions.
 
How good is Kagawa performing lately ?
Because I just don't know why Sir Alex Ferguson would buy another attacking midfielder, and knowing Belhanda's reaction, that guy can't stay in the bench more than 2 or 3 games ...

Edit : Nevermind he's signing for the next summer.

Next summer.
He'll sign tomorrow

The source is 90% reliable.

Btw I'm just as suprised as you are with those news, especially that Fenerbahce just stopped the negotiations with Montpellier and I don't even see where he can fit in your team ...

I love how we're continuing to play shitty for entire halves of a game or make dumb mistakes yet still pull out the wins. Guess it's the traditional Utd way. Not sure if I blame Carrick, De Gea, or the freakin horrible pitch for that goal we had against us today.

I've always been an opponent of artificial turf but now that they have that hybrid version with real grass with artificial fibers (isn't that what City has?) I hope we go for that as the replacement in the summer.
The only thing we can hope for is that Ronnie will find it hard to play on as well when Real come to town.
