That is where you are getting it wrong. Bakayoko will never be press resistant even if his coach is Pep Guardiola. Same with Fred.

You cannot coach fluid turning and control into Bakayoko. Or coach Lukaku out of having the first touch of a serial rappist
I believe Pep and Klopp will get our midfielders playing good footy and press well, unless you believe Liverpool midfield is better than ours...

What you said was not relevant. I didn’t say it was a clear foul. I said it was a borderline foul so saying it wasn’t a clear foul is out of point to what I was saying SINCE I never said it was a clear foul in the first place.

Allow the guy to be creating argument out of nothing.

I never said it was a clear foul so what business do I have with “ it wasn’t a clear foul”?

They will get them playing better than they are playing now but don’t deceive yourself that they will play good footy.

McTom for one won’t have even been promoted into the senior team by Pep and if Pep had met him he would have offloaded him. Klopp might have use for him though.

Fred would also be better but might still not make the grade. There is a reason Pep was initially interested in him but then left him to us.

The other player Pep left to us was Alexis Sanchez. That might tell you something.

Which is why i said it was a borderline foul. Some would give it and some won't. I wonder what he is trying to prove by cooking up arguments in his own head.

If you mean play him as the most defensive midfielder there is no evidence in his career that he can do that. He has always had a more defensive partner with him. He is an 8 not a 6.

Do you think that VDB can be Utd’s Busquets. If we are going to be a possession based or direct play team, we may just need a player that can recycle possession or/and make short, safe and maybe incisive passes to our attacking/central midfielders.

Or better still, consider two DMs, VDB with one of Fred or McTom making the interceptions and tackles. Bruno, Pogba and Sancho as AMs/wingers in a 4-2-3-1 set up.

VDB is definitely very useful, our manager is just not ready to figure out how to use these players.

This could be an option. VDB with one out of McTominay and Fred. If we can't get a CDM that can play solo we can play a double pivot in which one of them at least is comfortable with the ball.

Probably try Fred and VDB first even though McTominay is so useful in both boxes and with set pieces. McTominay saved Lindelof's blushes against Leeds when he prevented a Bamford near post header.

Bolded is major Reason I believe he has to play to get things right. He can comfortably pass from the back, short passes. He's good at finding and utilising spaces and he can pop up Goals if opportunity arises.

He has played as a sole DM many times, so he's not gonna be unusual if he plays there for United. VDB, Pogba and Bruno can work, especially once Varane starts playing as well.

OGS should change formation to 4 3 3, to win Titles you must be sound tactically and technically, and should be paying Attention to the Match, not watching something on the Tab.

.....Sancho............. Cavani ............... Greenwood......

Or

.... Martial ............. Greenwood ............. Sancho ...

Then in Midfield

................................. Bruno

.............. Pogba

............................................... VDB

I expected OGS to try it out at Preseason, but the Toad thought otherwise.

What site is that? Whoscored says he has played DM only 11 times in the last 6 years and most of that was with another more defensive minded player. For instance they counted 2 UCL and 2 EPL games with us last season as part of the 11.

I am not sure VDB can work as the only defensive option with Pogba and Bruno. That midfield would be overrun and the defense would be too exposed. VDB is like Gundogan and even the ultra-attacking Pep is not playing Gundogan as the sole shield in midfield while Tuchel partners Jorginho (their VDB ) with workers like Kante or Kovacic.

Donny has played quite well in his last two or three appearances for the first team. I can't quite believe Ole hasn't found a proper role for him.
Cavani is very fit, Varane was already back in training before his move, Sancho has been with the group for 4 weeks.
it's only at United we act like new signings need to attend some KG lessons or something while we continue with more of the same ineffective players that cannot offer anything new.

Saúl is set to leave Atléti. Chelsea opened talks for Saúl days ago. There’s official bid now on the table - loan with buy option.

Also Manchester United have asked for Saúl again in the last 24 hours, he’s in the list with Camavinga.

He’s ready for PL move.
