bros we no need james abeg what we need is a RW & CF in attack
There is enough funding to get all those other positions filled...and could it be that the supreme form of ronaldo and bale is why him and isco are perennial bench warmers? I just don't know if he can cut it in the EPL but it seems jose don finish work with the guy! He is a good player but great? I think we should look in other places....

Mata no play anything yesterday.
He was sharper than Rooney and laid the pass to Martial which eventually resulted in the goal. Rooney was given several passes in that same position and he sluggishly lost possession without making anything of it.

Apart from that, we need to take care of the most important positions first. We seriously need someone to replace Carrick, and we have one and a half defenders at the moment.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Funlord2(m): 3:50pm On May 15, 2017
@ leyqute carricks position won't even be a problem to fill! There are a lot of quality DM's all over europe available at affordable prices and who would also love to come and compete at united!


Now I think jose is looking at the potential loss of goals as well as the attacking threat as well as creativity that ibrahimovics loss, rooneys send off and Ashley Youngs leaving might cost the team! No matter how bad the latter 2 have been they still need to be replaced! Attack will be the hardest place for us to fill in during the transfer window!

I agree we need to sharpen our attack but we've had the DM problem even before SAF left. In general, Mou still needs to strengthen the spine of the team-that was what he tried to do with the acquisition of Bailly, Pogbs and Zlats but we need reinforcements.

Yes we have the money for everybody but we should have priorities. This is same position we bought best player in Germany for. Competition is good but it's no use having unhappy players especially when we are just returning to the top. The CM RW and explosive LB should be the priority now. Nothing exciting here at all. We still have Mata and Mkhi that can fit in well into that number 10.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 4:21pm On May 15, 2017
Fact: 4 of United’s 5 Premier League defeats this season have been in games played on a Sunday immediately after a Europa League match.

the only thing Rooney was really guilty of yesterday was maybe that first goal and some funny misplaced passes,he created good scoring chances and he scored a goal. not a great game for him but he was alright.
Mata made a decent pass,Martial brilliance was still the ultimate decider of that goal.

So they cannot be sold again? I'm yet to really see what Mata even brings to this united side! The Mata I used to see in chelsea was a more dynamic player and he was playing for a mechanical team back then not an attacking one like we are! If he gets sold I know I won't she'd any tears....

Yeah but we need more players that can comfortably delete opponents and create space for runners into the box or strikers not give me I give you. James may be good but he will still struggle without the space

Why? I no even send that james but compared to Mata as regards to playmaking skills, his vision, pace, set pieces, goal return and technique e be like say the pally dey rep pass! If them go hold like 40m I go say make we collect am!

He is also 25..he can also play as a RW, CM or a 10 and midfielders dey usually don cook finish by 26, 27! Check am

Mata may not be nominated for MOTM yesterday but how many times did he look clueless on the ball? How many times did he lose possession clumsily and sluggishly? Hoe many times did he pass to the opponent willingly?

You might feel Rooney's overall contribution was positive because of his goal but we'd have created more chances if he was sharper and look more interested in the game- like Mata was.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by brainiacadeboi(m): 5:04pm On May 15, 2017

even without the goal I still would pick Rooney.
you can look decent without actually influencing the game is that not what we killed cleverly for?
some of those Rooney pass na because he tried to make something happen.
anyhow,both of them never win place for my heart to start that Europa game.

forget all those abilities yarn, mata na top class and epl proven AM nd we still get mhikitaryan so no need splashing the cash for another madrid reject.

also, it seems jose will be playing 4 3 3 next season so no need for no.10, had it been james fit operate as a top class wing-forward, 40mil no go bad, but the guy no sabi, mahrez go make sense for us pass james, at least that one na winger.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by SIRcumalot: 5:16pm On May 15, 2017
I say make Jose buy him goons wey go run up and down for am.
am talking Ramirez,willan and any other player that fit the type.
to dey watch flair players (micki) dey do this kain work they turn belle.
I never remember Ozil doing all this job at Real Madrid. I just want something close to that system.
we should get some guys that will allow for our more offensive player to attack well. them go cheap too.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by bigkesh(m): 5:50pm On May 15, 2017
We are here watching how you will get better finishers and more creative players than Mata,Mkho,Martial,Pogba,Rashford and IBRA in today's market and still cover the the big gap in other areas


Another market of big spending and little improvement loading





Long may your woes continue

Usta (Trabzonspor president): "We're focusing on signing a midfielder & striker. The midfielders we're in talks with are Fellaini & Natcho."

You guys are not even talking about buying a good striker.

Since Ibra isn't going to be part of the team, we are left with only Rashford. The were tmes in the past when we have at least three diffetent quality strikers at a time. We need to return to those days so that all these chances being wasted will be converted.

With quality chances we can work with Rashford. You don't expect Rash to form superman with all those aerial balls. Give him balls on the ground that he can run to and he will leave defenders behind. With quality guys behind him he will perform much better. Unless Mourinho sticks to his aerial balls.

Remember we might be playing UCL next season

We cannot rely on Rashford alone as our striker. The guy is just 19yrs old and still learning. There are lots of times when he misses ground chances as well. We equally need experienced striker as part of our immediate need in the team. Rashford is for the future.

Even when we bought Rooney as an explosive striker, we had Ruud and Saha who were totally different from Rooney.

And What happens when there's no ground to run to? Or when teams like West Brom play 8 men at the 6yard box?

Thats why we need attackers that can beat their men, create spaces or draw fouls.
