I don't subscribe to the idea but i think it's just a contingency plan in place to deal with any eventuality

di Maria made it clear he's not leaving after a year, forget all these tabloids struggling for pay-per-click.

patrickmuf:
It won't necessarily mean sacrificing width, it will just mean we'll be a little bit more defensive conscious...With Depay, Di Maria, Young and hopefully a productive/matured Januzaj, our flanks are sorted out for real...

Maybe.
Don't know how Memphis is defensively. We found out that DiMaria was not that good tracking back last season. The only person in that group that offers defensive cover is Young.
Maybe the back six will be enough to help defensively, I hope. Otherwise van Gaal still has a problem with sorting out his most effective lineup even with these apparent abundance of talent.

More reason i'll support the idea of a double pivot just so our wingers will have less to do defensively

Di Maria rumours are getting stronger

Something at the back of my mind tells me that it would be a surprise if he's still a United player by Aug 31.

Liverpool and Man city agree fee for Raheem Sterling tranfer to the Ettihad stadium subject to a medical and trashing of personal terms...lol
Two mediocre clubs doing business for the transfer of an equally mediocre player...
We're talking Bastian Schweinsteiger, Depay, Matteo Darmian and you're talking Raheem Sterling...DIfference in class...

igbsam:

Medias just dey market players to ManUtd anyhow.

lol sure true

SailorXY:
being frank & fair enough, it will take considerate effort to dislodge Herrera from that midfield.

herrera may dislodge mata or mata may sub depay.....

£49m for a player who has next to zero individual and club achievements... #TheEnglishWay.

I am particularly happy with Schweinsteiger cuz @ least we can afford to have either he or Carrick injured & not feel the brunt of it.

once we secure Schneiderlin, we have more than enough options to compete well.

but I don't think Schweinsteiger & Carrick will feature from starts together especially in league games.

bro not only you ooo.......i read on goal.com that he has agreed to join bayern.....and we just signed a bayern player.......meaning we are now "customers"......psg are also there...reports said he could have gone there last season but for ffp rules he opted for us...now that they have cleared everything...........finger in my mouth till aug 31

Casillas crying like a baby

If joins Munich,and we make some profit of his transfer fee no wahala.
It is important we get player than can play within our system if he can't,let him leave,
This way we make money rather than make him value just dey fall.

Forget all those rumors, Di Maria is going no where. Man Utd ain't selling and Maria doesn't want to leave. Fashi those useless tabloids trying to attract traffic to their sites.

My anger with LvG is that he's not even making plans for a CF. Rooney is past his prime, we need a hot CF!!

carrick and schneiderlin will play most of our league games and thats if we sign schneiderlin because he already knows how tough the league is... and carrick if he is fit will play.....cause of those sublime passes which he gives to break all those bus parkers clubs..... Schweinsteiger can play the champions league cause of his experience....and also sub with carrick in league so that he doesn't get injured or get fatigue.....

No matter how we slice it its a loss for liverpool.
50mill na small money to City,
The penalties for FFP isn't so severe if it hasn't been totalled cancelled sef.

We've been linked to that Gaitan for like 3 seasons now

he proved that in d 4 or 5 games he played at the starting of the season.......its still in him...he can progress in this league......he just needs time and i think this season is the time to prove his worth for man utd...........remember form is temporal but class is permanent

Am a big Di Maria fan,
This isn't about form or class,
Di Maria to me,is at best with little restrain and allow to make dribbling runs from deep.
I don't think LVG wants to play this way.

when u finally realize ur dreams ...

and how was that different from what young played last season...di maria excelled in the wing....you can also recall that lvg used him at different position last season which maybe brought about his downturn..

igbsam:

The guy is fast, but egocentric. Don't know of recent tho'

If Di Maria's is going to Bayern, good for him. We exchange Him for Muller. Rooney needs some1 like him.

StarBoard:

I tell ya.
The speculation linking us to some players is ridiculous to say the least.
One link had us to Diaffra Sakho. No disrespect to him but I think that is funny.

Lmao....Sakho ke......iffa hear

Okay...we sha no need am.

Otamendi deal should be quick.. I also feel Shaqiri is better than Nico Gaitan.

Possible Formations

No be joke.

But at the same time I can't help but laugh.

Na van Gaal fault. This one he is releasing strikers anyhow.
I'm surprised they have not mentioned my main Gee, naija's own Balloteli, Gbolahan Salami as a possible target yet.

Second lineup with Schweinsteiger in Carrick's position and Di Maria in schweinsteiger position
