You people should be really afraid this season.. Forget all those players you are buying o.. You are just piling Junks like Liverpool

You are not even near Chelsea this season.. Our Closest Rival will surely be Arsenal.. Compare your 1st team squad to Arsenal's Own, then argue with your Generator!

Don't remember talking about players bought or comparing teams here. I just stated the obvious fact of your team's consistent performance and advantage over others last season.

I'm not happy we are not doing good business, but on a more serious note, I think this great squad that were top of the league table from week one to the last and won the league with 3 games in hand would even grow and improve more this season.
Maybe we are just being paranoid over nothing really, I mean, all these other teams strengthened the last time too, yet, we won, the squad is fresh nd our young players are growing into mature men.

Chelsea should just thank their stars cos of the fitness of their 1st squad last season and wish the same this season.

He's an assnal fan.

He just mentioned 2-3 cases out of the many times CL has been won. It is sth that occasionally happens and why assnal has been trophy less for years and would have remained so if not the purchase of Ozil and Sanchez. Let's see how this Barca replace from within.

LvG should have made Sam Johnstone our 2nd GK. He impressed in the last game; his distribution, movement in the box, closing down of players, and how he dealt with back passes to him were very good.

We also have Lindegard who is good as a backup.

Pedro to Man Utd?

We want any of the MSN not Pedro

AirborneLacer:
Shaw is an average player who was good for the Saints. He's never had a shot at the big stage hence I opined he's unproven.

Paying 30milla and dropping £100k wage for such boy is madness. JM wasn't the only one on the issue, Scholes also condemned the transfer.

It only feels awful to have us doing a Manyoo as per Stones' rumors.

Shaw takes 50k/week

Spy360:
Or Giroud even.

Wondered why LvG let RvP go. I thought he was a better striker than Rooney. Unless it is about personal issues; as he always has loads of them, Mr Philosophy could be making a great mistake.

abeg Giroud should remain where he is.
RVP fitness is a big concern.

alphalpha:
please can someone explain why "torrents" files are always too large?

quality

dopeJemi:
Pedro can do that, I've watched him play a few times... he runs with the ball also and has good vision

that's when he finds the space. To me, no need. We need a striker similar to Aguero, Benzema or Lewy

dopeJemi:
he could be converted to a number 9, what I like about him is his agility, he could also be used in two positions, so he would be a good buy IMO

then no need since he'd become similar to Chicha. We need striker that can move with the ball/dribble and score from anywhere.

dopeJemi:
Pedro wouldn't be a bad addition to the team

I don't know what he'll offer.

We're still lacking in creating of chances and scoring. Very important to address.

hahaha! gbege in assnal camp.

UniqueGem:
Can i get MUTV in nigeria apart from online streaming?

I know only online

MUTV will show it live.

UniqueGem:
4:00am

Nawa o!

Who knows the Nigerian time for our game?

jimmy4x:
lmao @ ps3...I av a clip here titled Eden Hazard PFA player of the year....a portion of the clip showed where he dribbled around d PSG box nd got challenged by Cavani, like 3 oda PSG players came to challenge him, in the next scene, I saw him step up to take the penalty....I'll try nd search YouTube nd get u d link.

Silva handball led to the penalty.

LTSHANGY:
CONFIRMED! ''Evans is not leaving for Everton.

Why is MrTA holding him.

Well, he's leaving if Otamendi comes.

Keky:
The Pre-season champions.

The Emirates cup champions.

Schneiderlin is always withdrawn with no smiling face or is Bastian presence overshadowing him.

LTSHANGY:
He said 'Hernandez is coming back'.. apperently, He will get a chance. Di Maria, Rojo will also be back on 25th.. Valencia will join up too.

Glad to hear that. He's a super sub.
Valencia travelled with the squad.

afrodoc2:
He said he would get a chance. At the least i think VanG would assess him over this pre-season and give him a 2nd look and a decent opportunity to shine, he should seize his chance like Ashley Young.

He specifically said he would get a chance or that he will join the squad on 25th June?

saintwill:
LVG poured out his anger on reporters during a conference ........stating that most transfer reports are false.....and went even to a point of pointing a reporter saying "you always give false news"..........



these reporters sef.....na wa oo....man must chop

haha! Serious?

SailorXY:
di Maria is no striker, why must he be lost to get a striker?

van Persie, Henriquez & Falcao is out, Hernandez is back... who replaced the rest?

How sure are we Chicha is staying? Did LvG say so?

StarBoard:
Stone Cold Steve austin?

Charlie Austin of Qpr. He scored 18 this past season.

codedguy1:
Getting a striker is quite sensitive for us at this stage and the reason is Rooney!

If we get a Lewandowski and Rooney is first choice it would be awkward having lewy on the bench and he won't be happy because a lewy is d kind of striker man U should be buying at this time.

On the other hand the likes of benteke will be more accommodating being on the bench with a Rooney playing, he will hope he gets his chance.

So do we buy a striker better than captain Rooney only to bench him or just buy a good striker who will be calm on the bench because captain Rooney must play?

that's the problem I've talked about. Then, I'd rather we go for Austin since he's free, I guess, and will be glad to start from the bench.

funlord:
The 3 names all over the british press this morning 2 replace rvP and chicarito @ united are...Cavani, Lewandowski or Benteke! Who fits the bill and why?

God forbid we should go for Benteke; he's average and expensive. Benteke will cost 32.5 while Lewy is valued at 35+. Lewy or we look elsewhere.

A whole Valdes, Barca legend, to be playing with the reserve team. Nawa o!

In other news, Vidal is joining Bayern.

Van Gaal confirms Di Maria to join the tour on July 25. Asked whether he will stay, Van Gaal said 'we shall see'.


Likely negotiations are ongoing.

VAN GAAL CONFIDENT IN NEW SIGNINGS

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal is delighted with his summer purchases so far and feels his squad will be in good shape to challenge for honours in 2015/16.

At a press conference in Seattle to unveil Matteo Darmian, Morgan Schneiderlin and Bastian Schweinsteiger, van Gaal declared he was "proud" to have captured the trio and outlined his reasons for signing each of them.

"I'm very happy because, in my opinion, they are very good players," the boss said. "That's why we have bought them.

"I'm very happy they're here before the tour – we can prepare all the team elements with them. There's also Memphis Depay and now the three new signings. It's much better than last year.

"Our selection was not in balance [last season]. I wanted balance with my midfielders, so you could expect that I should buy two holding midfielders. Morgan is the type who I think can play in our system and in our philosophy.

"Manchester United only buy players who can make a contribution to that. We are not buying for buying's sake. Every player who is sitting here can make a contribution."

On Italian full-back Darmian, van Gaal said: "I always want a player who can defend in the first place. Matteo has very good orientation. He's also fast, he's a reasonable header of the ball – that's also a plus. And he can build up play."

And of Germany captain Schweinsteiger, who he managed at Bayern Munich, the manager added: "I'm not only looking to the qualities of the player but also how he is as a human being.

"I believe he will do his utmost best to perform in the same way he did at Bayern. I have a lot of confidence in him.

"Morgan has played in the Premier League. The question is with Bastian and Matteo: can they cope with the Premier League? I'm fully confident they can."

However, van Gaal warned that none of his new signings would be guaranteed a place in the side next season.

"They know already that they have to fight for their position," the Dutchman continued. "It's never secure. Morgan has to fight with Schweinsteiger, Carrick, Blind... these are the players who can play in the centre of midfield.

"Darmian has to fight with Valencia. He knows that and Valencia knows that also. And Michael Carrick knows as well – I told him at the end of last season. The difficulty is to get these players – it's not so easy – and I'm very proud, especially of Ed Woodward, that he's done that."

Very good! Everyone should fight for his place.
