Elamps, where do you think is the best position for the lad?

Too early to say. But with his energy and jumping power, I will like him as a CB.

He might also be good as a DM. He has high tackling rate. But it is too young to be played as a DM, his passing might be a problem. He is also a good full back.

Let’s keep watching this guy.

I think he can start out as a CB and then proceed to be a DM later on. He's decent when attacking and defends well. I think he still needs to develop that alertness when in the middle of the field plus improve on his passing.

We only have to wait and hope he isn't mismanaged like the rest. Can you believe Januzaj will be where he is at the moment 2 years ago?

If he plays in Centre back for one or two full seasons, the only place he will be able to play afterwards is full back.

If his best position is DM, he should be developed there. He can go play defence when occasion warrants. But if he developed as a defender, his latent skills required to excel at the more advanced positions would just die.

De Telegraaf in Holland state that Manchester United currently have fewer points than the club ever had after 33 rounds of play in the Premier League. However, the Dutchman seems to be firmly in the saddle. In any case stronger than David Moyes two years ago.

At that time the club had after 33 matches 57 points. The criticism of Moyes, who had the thankless task to follow up on the successful, Sir Alex Ferguson, was immense.

Van Gaal and United play Crystal Palace next and the 64-year-old Dutchman seems despite several storms earlier this season not having to fear a similar scenario as Moyes.

Van Gaal won the last five home games with his team, something no other club this season managed in the Premier League.

Marcus Rashford is reportedly close to signing a new contract.

According to TransferMarketWeb, the 18-year-old is set to put pen to paper on fresh terms worth nearly £14,000-a-week.

He is about to enter the final 12 months of his current deal and United have been keen to tie him down following his stunning breakthrough.

Rashford, who currently earns £1,500-a-week and pockets a £5,000 bonus per first-team appearance has hit seven goals in 12 games since making his debut in the Europa League win over FC Midtjylland in February.

Are you saying you've never seen a player start out as CB and then end up as a good DM?

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Elxandre(m): 9:58am On Apr 19, 2016
Lol

Kagawa10 could be silly when defending LVG, but he's right on this.

Rashford has better off the Ball movement than Martial as a striker.
Just see all of Rashford's goals this season.
He is just at the right place at the right time unlike Martial who almost always get nullified as a striker, and has to drop back to make an impact.

Martial also takes too many touches before shooting too which isn't great for a number 9. Many fans are angry with Martial for this already.
Compare this to Rashford who hits the target without complicating a chance by touching the ball too many times.

So yes! Rashford has better instincts as a striker.

This doesn't mean Rashford is better overall than Martial.

Though, I think Martial will be more devastating as a striker if he played in a team that sees much of the ball and plays real attacking football and he doesn't have to rely on just positioning alone, but free flowing moves.

Even Depay has Great movement as a winger (IMO better than Martial), just that he just can't seem to ever do anything productive when he gets the ball.

Depay's positioning is actually very threatening, but his end product makes this go unrecognized.

But why is it even up for debate who the better striker is?

At Monaco, Martial played mostly on the left. For United mostly on the left. For France, mostly on the left. In fact, Martial is so untrusted as a 9 that Ashley Young was preferred in that position to him.

Why is it so hard to believe that Rashford is the better 9...especially when he is currently the top striker in team?

Any excuse for insults I guess...

exactly....

martial being played as a 9 would amount to 'under utilising' him. his skills are at best use when he plays as a left wing forward. rashford with the way he is going might end up being as good as kane.....if only he can be trusted with being an almost permanent starter like kane is doing for spurs

That league is a disgrace.

They want to Conquer europe by wining U.C.L, and I don't think Blanc will give them that.

Talking of Young being preferred by LvG is not a point if you're trying to make sense. We all know LvG is bordering on lunacy.
~ this is the same man that was persistent with Fellaini/Carrick pivot despite dropping easy points like hot potatoes when he had Schneiderlin/Herrera on the bench ~
~ the very same man who introduces defenders for strikers when we are chasing a game & introduces strikers for defenders when we need to close shop ~
~ the same man who moves Martial from LW to RW when he's the only live wire in a game to accommodate Memphis ~
The list is endless but if you are here to mock us you fit start from "e no go better for you", we go understand you better.

I read an article somewhere detailing how Rashford has shown more rare potential in front of goal than Martial. Of this there's no doubt but let me point out here that not every player develop @ same pace regardless of raw skill.

A classic example is Rooney & Ronaldo. Many can argue that Rooney possessed the finer eye in front of goal than Ronaldo when they were newly both under SAF.
Their development trajectory saw Rooney hone his skills more of a support forward & Ronaldo more of finisher. In fact Ronaldo turned out as one of the greatest goal scorers the world will ever see irrespective of his position on the pitch.

Yet nothing suggest Martial & Rashford can't develop a strike partnership akin to Cole & Yorke. I know it's rare you see -2- strikers these days but Suarez/Sturridge come to mind. It is a possibility as long as a manager can improvise & both players are not exactly "hyenas" (in elampiro's voice).

I don't expect SAF to criticize in the open cuz of the obvious effect.
What I didn't expect also was public backing, whether political motives or to calm nerves of LvG.

The clearer picture will be up by May.
