He terrifies me. When he has the ball,
you never know for which team he plays.

- David De Gea on Phil Jones

Roy Keane or De gea?

handelex:
I prefer Bailly over Lindelof anyday and time too, but Bailly loses concentration at times and in using his pace and physicality to make amends he rushes into tackles and often comes off worse(injured) .....Lindelof is known as the Iceman for a reason

Lindelof speaking : I actually don’t know why I’ve gotten that nickname! I think it’s a mix of how I seem from the outside. I’m quite a private person. I’m not very fond of sharing too much. I also think it’s because I’m quite calm on the field.''

GloryIsaac:
What really matters is their playing style, roles on the pitch and how they can compensate Maguire to form a solid defensive pair. Sort of a Ferdinand and Vidic thing.

Good point

Ferdinard - Maguire - Lindelof, similar style of play

Vidic- Bailly- Same style

Talking about Eric Bailly

He signed for United exactly 4 years ago today

handelex:
Lindelof reads the game better but is too passive, dude is always bullied, but Bailly na crase man, very aggressive and thoughtless atimes... if he can stay fit and reduces those his sudden blood rush then it will be hard for a manager to pick lindelof over him. Both are different types of defenders by the way with much room for improvement.

Read FIRE....

Someone that can't judge the movement of ball in the air and many other stuffs like that

sylvalord:
How can you prove that?

Chrisus:
There’s actually no way to prove that

We have to wait for Bailly's return.

Then we can compare

Herbiedeen:
Bros, read my reply again
i never questioned Baily's ability over Lindelof's
Would you rather have a good player who plays 15 games in a year and spend the rest nursing an injury over an average player who is consistent and improves everytime

Why do you think Madrid are looking to offload Bale at all cost?? isn't he good enough to boss any team in the world with his ability

Okay.

A fit Bailly is better than Lindelof.

Bale issue is totally different

sylvalord:
Go check the stats, Lindelof has not made any errors leading to goal this season. If you say he is a bit jittery some times, i'd agree with you. But that is a confidence issue and he is certainly growing more confident every match day.

How can you compare Baily's situation to Neymar and Kane? Neymar and Kane still directly influence where their team finishes in the league despite their injuries. Can the same be said of Bailly? Can you boldly say that if Bailly was fit all season and he has been playing instead of lindelof that we would have conceded less goals? What impact would Bailly have on the team that Lindelof cannot or doesn't have?

Don't get me wrong, I like Bailly and i have high hopes for him. But Bailly has not even been available for selection and i will always choose a player who makes himself available over a player who spends the season in a sick bay.

YES, we would have conceded less goals and more clean sheet, with Bailly and Maguire as our CB pairing.

Herbiedeen:
Seriously, how many games has Pogba, Neymar and Kane missed through injury since they joined their present club compared to Baily's

And nobody is disputing his ability, but compared to Lindelof's consistency and improvment, he is way below........and apparently you only made mention of just one match while Lindelof has been bossing most times even more than Maguire

Who would you prefer as your last man to mark Aguero?
Baily OR Lindelof?

Even with Lindelof's improvement, Baily is still better.... I will even pick Smalling ahead of Lindelof.

Baily's issue is just injury, if he can stay fit................Lindelof will always be on the bench

Maybe you should just mention a defensive attribute that Lindelof has more than Baily ( Tackling, Aerial duels, Interceptions, Confidence on ball etc)

Kelechi's age is 27, 28 or 29.

sylvalord:
I really don't understand this obsession with Bailly. I always see people removing Lindelof and replacing him with Bailly in suggested lineups. Why? The same Bailly that cannot keep fit? Bailly was good in his first season but since then, he has always been injured and most of these injuries are caused by his overly physical and crazy playing style. Lindelof has been very good at CB this season. He has improved a lot and he is going to improve more. He has not been dribbled past this season and he has not made any errors leading to goal. If we are going to replace Lindelof, then he should be replaced with someone better and i don't think Bailly is better. Bailly is just another Phil Jones without the funny faces

Go and watch our game against Crystal Palace @ Old Trafford....lets start from there

Lindelof better than Baily?

Pogba, Neymar and Kane can't keep fit too.....

Not bad....

Ravioli:
What you guys think about this lineup against Spuds??

The only change in that line-up should be Baily for Lindelof.

I understand Matic inclusion ahead of Mc-tominay, playing Bruno & Pogba, we need a DM that won't bother joining attack

elrony:
Niggas don go edit Wikipedia page

As in....no time.

Dey collect lingard shirt no self

Donny Van de Beek (VDB) our new no 14 ?

Timo Werner = Morata 2.0

Ravioli:
James stays.. He'll be a sub for Rashford or Sancho.. If we sign sign Havertz he'll be sub for either Bruno or Pogba.. Beek will be for Fred or McTominay. Depends who's in form. Ighalo’s loan extension is to prep Greenwood for the 9 role. Then we'll get Haaland in due course if Martial ain't fine. Ole has a plan. I don't think we are after any CB

Maguire, Baily, Fosu-Mensah, Tuazebe, Smalling and Lindelof we are good to go at CB.

Rojo and Jones can leave.

Ravioli:
You are right, brov. Beek is an upgrade to 'em. Beek can play 6, 8, 10. That's midfield versatility. Same reason we are after Havertz who play RW, SS and 8.

Ole is about quality midfielders.. Pogba is staying.

Sancho is 100 percent our priority this term. His to man the RW

OLE is getting his transfers/signings right. ( best since Ferguson era )

We are on the right track.

We should be challenging for trophies next season......

I'm still hoping we can win UEL and FA cup this season

GloryIsaac:
Under current circumstances, Grealish’s valuation should drop, but it seems they favor Havertz over him.

@bolded.....same here

Signing Havertz should signal the end to players like Mata, Perreira and Lingard

GloryIsaac:
Imagine choosing Arsenal over Man Utd

Atletico Madrid to Arsenal is a huge downgrade.

If we want him, he will surely come to old trafford.

Arsenal is not a problem

GloryIsaac:
So this is how the talk of getting Grealish has gone

Hope they sign Sancho though, he’s the main priority.

Sancho is our main target.

Spending 80M on Grealish is not gonna happen

Results of the Intra-Squad Friendly Match;

Team A Scorers: Pogba, Rashford x3

Team B Scorers: Bruno x2, Martial, McTominay

Team A Assists: Pogba x2, Matic, Fosu-Mensah

Team B Assists: Bruno Fernandes x2, Mata, Martial

Bruno and Pogba show............ Rashford and Martial go score tire

Thanks for this update.

Ravioli:
One of the most reliable sports journalist from Germany and England have reported the interest from Utd and also the player is also interested in the move. Pogba is a base CM for us to partner Dm. Pogba ain't leaving. Ole needs a thick squad. Mata is aging and has lost his legs. Lingard and Perreira are tier level shit and I'm sure lingard is leaving. We need enough players for each position if we are to compete with other big guns in Europe. Sancho gets the RW position on lockdown. His deal is so eminent

Ac Milan

#Partners

---Cole & Yorke
---Beckham & Nevile
---Ferdinard & Vidic

Pogba & Fernandes loading

Oasis007:
Though Smalling was fantastic in Italy, but is he still needed at United?! I am anticipating a fit, injury-free Bailly and Maguire Pairing as well, with Tuanzebe and Lindelöf as back up.

As for RW, I wouldn't mind 2 RWs at a go...... Sancho and if possible Adama.

I will pick Smalling ahead of Lindelof....

I think we need to give Timothy Fosu- Mensah a chance (RB, CB or DM)

James Garner should be the replacement for Matic. ( Matic can still play @ the highest level for at least 2 seasons)

Oasis007:
He's versatile, but a Midfielder.

Yes.

We need a solid CB pairing ( Maguire and Baily), and i think Smalling, Lindelof and Tuazebe as back-up, Rojo and Jones should leave.

No issues with RB and LB, ( AWB, Dalot, Shaw and Williams) all young (below 25 ) and energetic.

Our goalkeeping department is the strongest in EPL, we just need improvement from Degea ( confidence and decision-making).

Our midfield is 100% okay.

With the addition of Sancho @ RW, our forward line is perfect.

Oasis007:
He's hopefully gonna be a good Addition, perhaps a Replacement for Matic.

He's an attacking midfielder/right winger.
