I hope we get Gundogan, and probably de jong is other targets are not available...
Felipe Andersen from Lazio will add dribbling and creativity as well as goals from midfield
Hummels and Stones should sort the defence, stones can also play rb if need be...
Benzema will be a big catch, he'll flourish under van gaal's system...

leave de jong, khedira de available for free, felipe andersen is good, but di maria is staying so we no need him services.. Benzema, gundogan (though him belle de fear me, and i go prefer bender) and hummels will be great signings, but abeg leave stones, that one na dirty.. If him sabi play right back.. Jones sabi play both right back and DM

we can still get Gundogan & Sven Bender, they don't play same position primarily.

Ander Herrera - the guy has to be signing of the season. what a player! if only he had that extra yard of pace hmmm dayuuum

I like his tenacity. He doesn't have much of a physical presence but he can chase anything down....he also score goals. Maybe what we're going all the way to Sokoto to find is already in our sokoto

Herrera is very central to the system we have adopted. if he keeps his form, I don't see who can displace him from the 11 & LvG was terribly wrong to keep him out of the team for Rooney.

Valencia played well against Arsenal but just imagine for a second it was Rafael getting all that space on the right wing last Sunday - oh blood of the gods

Is Loyalty Holding You Back?
Reading the article about Ashley Young made me think about the issues with fans' favourites.

There's no doubt it you ask any United fans who has been United's best player this season, a large number of them will say Ashley Young. There's no doubt he's done well this season but are fans views warped because they appreciate him as a fan's favourite. Young has put in 100% each game for Man United this season and has done what he's told. He doesn't cause a fuss so naturally has become a popular figure amongst United supporters. This popularity has led United some United fans to suggest Young should be a regular part of their team next season. However, if United want to challenge at the top again, as harsh as it may seem, Young isn't good enough.

It's an issue us Arsenal fans have had to deal with for a good few years. We get attached to good, hard-working players but who aren't going to help a title challenge or a run in the Champions League. This ties into the current issue with Giroud and whether Arsenal can challenge with him up front. Giroud is an extremely popular figure amongst Arsenal fans probably due to watching his improvement over the years since he joined us, he always gives 100% and has scored some good goals for us. However, when push comes to shove, we probably cannot challenge with him as our main striker. I'm not saying Young and Giroud should be completely scrapped but other options should definitely be considered.

Jose Mourinho sold Chelsea's POTY for the previous two seasons and a year later he's sitting with a ten-point lead at the top and a PL winner's medal. He may be harsh but he's ruthless and it has got Chelsea results.

I will struggle to count 3 wingers who's done better than Young in 2015.

SAF still won the league with Young when he was total shiit, so that assertion says nothing really.

in any case, football should be a form sport first & foremost.

True! No doubt Young has delivered dis season. But if we're to go d extra mile nxt season, he can't be a first choice in our starting 11. IMO i'd still pick Di Maria over him.

Real offers £14.4m for Dave

perhaps throw in Contraeo to "sweeten" the "deal"

yeah comic relief

only fools & united fans with an agenda underrate young. it's saddening that fans are just starting to appreciate what he brings to the team - something i have pointed out many moons ago. the only reason his form dipped is because he was mostly injured in 12/13 & 13/14 seasons.

i said ashley young(if fit) is as productive, if not better than di maria. that claim is still very valid. i don't want to start digging young's résumé again.

- i have done that more than 20 times on this thread, i even challenged you to find any winger better than young in the whole of europe(minus ronaldo/messi) and you ran away with the tail between your legs.

unfortunately for young, he is unfit again this season to re-produce the form that made SAF pay the top dollar for him in 2012. as far as productivity is concerned, only few wingers can match ashley young in europe. his performance in 2007 got jose mourinho sacked.

the above was my assessment of young back in october when elampawa was hyping di maria beyond his ability. give any player a run of 15 games consecutively and he would show improvement.

Where you run go since?

Louis van Gaal interview at the POTY awards:

On Champions League:
"First, we have to play 2 matches to qualify. I have a very good record in the Champions League and I hope I can show that at Manchester United."

On Transfers:
"It will be a rough summer for a lot of players but a club like Manchester United have to do that. Our selection is out of balance. We have managed to be 4th in the PL, but we have to manage to be champions. I will do my utmost best to ensure that we shall fight to the end and that we make the right decisions when we sign players."

On David de Gea:
"As a manager I have observed him and seen his progress this season. There's been fantastic development from him. As a manager, that's what you look for the most. That's why De Gea has impressed me the most, because of his development."

Now that Coolie-guy Tortoise is out of kirikiri he is already fomenting trouble. Let me give him a break and also go away for a long time. After all we are back to the UCL sef.

Di Maria made the FIFA XI at the ballon d'or. When will Young make it there?

All the zillions of players he hyped only one entered, and now he forms a super star.

Mr Man there is no hype in saying Di Maria is better than Young, in fact far better. Because Di maria had a bad season isn't enough reason to talk shit here. Where was young when Di maria was named in fifa XI? I'm new to this thread and haven't known you beyound 1hr, but i can accertain you're an egocentric fellow who needn't be exchanged words with.

this is why you can form a conclusion within 1 hour. any idïot playing for real madrid can be in FIFAXI. it's the strength of the team that was carrying di maria, not his own ability. this was why he was the first sacrificial lamb to be slaughtered when real madrid signed james rodriguez!

Bro u are talking as if we won d league and champions league and gunning for treble like Barca..We finished 4th for crying out loud.Lol.Young has been decent.Nothing else.D reason y everyone is praising him is because he has been so shit and completely useless for d past 2 seasons so now he has done better..pipl are going way more bonkers wid praising him.Ashley Young is a decent player.Nothing Special.Look at all d midfielders we av had in d past..Giggs,Beckham,Robson,Kanchelskis,Ronaldo,Young,George Best,Ashley Young..Yes u av spotted d odd one out.One thing I admire abt Young is his commitment and hardwork bt truly dt is not enof for a club of our stature.

ashley young has made you scoop up your vomitus & you are now referring to FIFAXI of last year. if di maria showed 10% of his ability last season, young wouldn't have condemned him to the bench.

accept your loss like a victim of södomy.

Any id!ot playing for real madrid could make the Fifa ProXI right? That typically explains why Benzema, Bale, Isco, carvajal and co didn't make it. Look here Mr. Making Fifa XI is solely dependent on your individual ability and not your teams ability. Di Maria's magical feet was responsible for madrid winning the champs league last year. You can still redeem your self from wallowing in stupidity and ignorance by going to get the cd for a re-watch, or better still, youtube if you've gat data. Incumbent mofo!!!!

i am sure 90% of the sex cells that made you contained plenty of stüpidity genes. how can any idïot bring up what happened 12 months ago to analyse a player? falcao should also be the best striker in man utd. after all, he was tearing up defences in europe some 24 months ago.

so because we didn't win treble we shouldn't give credit where its due? de Gea has conceded a whooping 35 goals this season & finished 4th, he's made team of the year - is it deserved?

for me, I plum for the in-form players to get on the pitch irrespective of what name is written on his back.

I have never liked Young since after his display in the 8-2 smashing of that useless team, but I have been on his di*k since the turn of the year & yes he's earned his spot ahead of di Maria this season.

if discipline & hardwork got him this far, then its only fair to see him properly rewarded for efforts whilst also serving as motivation to the more "talented" players that hardwork pays

The abuses are getting personal and frankly its not cool.D argument here is Young vs Di Maria.Lets put things in perspective.Ashley Young is in fine form,playing well and earning his stats.No doubts.Bt wat is his contribution stats wise..2 or 3 assists compared to Di Maria who has 10 and has not been playing at all for a long periof and who is also in first season in English football.Young has been here since his Aston Villa days.I think pipl underestimate d adjustment to English football.Wen i remember hw much i wondered hw Evra ,Vidic and David Silva fared in their first seasons (they were horrible )Di maria has been a let down and not wat we expected bt hey his contributions outweigh dt of Hardworking Ashley Young.Also Anyone who thinks Ashley Young is better dan Di Maria is ridiculously funny.Playing better?Yes..more productive..D stats show he isn't. BETTER THAN GENERALLY?Very stupid to conpare d both of dem.They are not in d same class.

you're a branded slowpoke. Di Maria wasn't sold because of James arrival, Di maria decided to leave Real because he felt unappreciated and was instead offered a contract he deemed substandard. He left on his will and madrid cashed on him because he wanted to leave. Di maria might be unfit and still learning the english style but he has 10assits with about 4/5 Goals. Mind you we are comparing young to Di maria and not Di maria to the world. So relatively speaking, falcao can still be compared to another striker in football not necessary the football world. Get over stewpid!ty sooner than later, you're an embarrassment and a big shame.

don't be deceived by name....
young is actually one of the most productive wingers in europe. i dared all the posters of this section to show me a more productive winger than young(apart from messi/ronaldo) and none of them could take the challenge.

productivity doesn't have to be with flair. when tony valencia was the best winger in this league, he had no flair. it was just his sheer pace and the final ball. young has been more effective than di maria & he has kept him on the bench in the final lap of the season.

who has won what @ what club is irrelevant. we can as well put dennis law or cantona in our team because they had won XYZ awards in the past. it's about now, not what happened in 1853.

a billy-goat must have urïnated on your head when you were a pïkin. he felt unappreciated because he was asking for a rise in pay beyond his ability. if he is as good as you make him; madrid shoulda trebled his wages plus more.

young kept di maria on the bench with series of MOTM awards. it's not by fluke or juju. young is more effective than di maria. i said so last summer when many of you fools were having pre-ejäculations over di maria. we have never had problems with wingers - it's the central midfield & the defence that needed beefing up. i have been vindicated so go fück yourself.
