So DDG is going? Or is there still hope/chance that he could change his mind?

Not likely, for Madrid to let Iker join Porto it means they prolly have a deal in place...I think what's holding the official announcement is Man United's search for a competent replacement...Once we get a new goalie he's off to Madrid

igbsam:
Who is Gaitan that ManU are going after ? Anybody got his profile ? Is needed ? Is he a CB or Striker ? Cos I think the most important position we shud be looking for is a CB and a Striker. If he is none of those, then woodward don dey craze. Anybody ?

He is an attacking midfielder/winger...

But we have enough attacking midfielders and wingers na. where dem wan put this one ? we don't need him abeg. They shud pls get us a CB and St. abeg....And a good keeper to replace De gea. That Atletico Madrid keeper wud fit in well.

Any deal for Gaitan depends on Di Maria staying or leaving the club...

But Di Maria hasn't said anything yet about him leaving. its all dis phucking tabloids. He crave for another chance dis coming season and I trust he wud settle in well.

I hope he stays, but then he has to adapt his game to suite the system in place, most times he's too eager to make something happen, a lil patience will do his game a whole lot of good

Lets just hope he does adapt to the EPL. I'm sure he must have used d previous season to study d epl. I know he still has something to offer the club if he stays.

He had better stay.. we need players who have won top tournaments like the champions league, and turn up on such occasions like he did at 2014 Champions league final and world cup. Now we have world cup finalists and a winner in our team.. we need such competition driven winners in a blend with the younger players looking for glory..

Midfielder, similar style to Herrera. I know, it makes no sense.

Na midfield/winger
Na just media rubbish, he isn't very good anymore
He waited to long to leave benfica same thing
Iker munian with bilbao

so we sell di Maria to sign Gaitan? abegi!

Next Stop - Schneiderlin & Otamendi

MrTA:

He is more or less a winger + attacking midfielder, a Nasri type just that he is left footed,he is no way an upgrade over Do maria.

SailorXY:

I don't subscribe to the idea but i think it's just a contingency plan in place to deal with any eventuality

SailorXY:

Plus a striker as well.
Looks like Hernandez is also on his way out.
Van Gaal obviously rates Wilson higher.

We no need am abeg.

Medias just dey market players to ManUtd anyhow.

Looks like one midfield would also leave.
Ashley Young just signed a new deal. Himself and Fellaini just showed how valuable they are for us.
Depay just got signed.
My suspects would be DiMaria and Mata to be most likely to leave, though I'm Leaning towards the former.
I dunno sha.

yea... When they were still hot prospects, their respective clubs were 'doing shakara'

If juve don't behave themselves, pogba will maybe suffer suffer the same fate...

I tell ya.
The speculation linking us to some players is ridiculous to say the least.
One link had us to Diaffra Sakho. No disrespect to him but I think that is funny.

For, i don't think any other player should leave, first choice three behind the main striker should be Di Maria=====Mata=====Depay with Schweini and Carrick/Schneiderlin protecting the defense...Our defense is still not sorted out so i'll prefer two holding midfielders

I only need Johnny Evans to leave right now & perhaps Blackett.

We will likely be going 4-3-3 next season. Fluid front three.

being frank & fair enough, it will take considerate effort to dislodge Herrera from that midfield.

SailorXY:

Blackett needs more games though his laid back approach is annoying for someone so young in his career.
Evans is spent and over his best. Heard West Brom and Everton were interested. Dunno how true that is but if RvP is going for around £4million, Evans should go for like £250k.

Assuming we get it sorted (looking at Otamendi as the last piece in that puzzle) I would still favor that screen in front of the defense.
It would mean sacrificing width but would make us more solid.

SailorXY:

We'll be playing much more games this, the players that'll make the starting line up will depend on the formation Van Gaal uses for each match...In a 4-3-3, i see Herrera starting but in a 4-2-3-1, i'd prefer a pivot of Schweini and Carrick/Schneiderlin...If Schneiderlin doesn't come, then Herrera is guaranteed a starting spot at all times

It won't necessarily mean sacrificing width, it will just mean we'll be a little bit more defensive conscious...With Depay, Di Maria, Young and hopefully a productive/matured Januzaj, our flanks are sorted out for real...

This Schneiderlin deal is taking too long abeg! It'll be really sad and annoying if we end up not signing him

Aswear........ lets just keep waiting.......

Okay.. We hearing stories on Schneiderlin n Gaitan (midfield), Ramos n Otamendi (CB)... Nothing on CF yet? Benteke? Lacazzette?
