Manchester Utd Thread

He can earn big money at Utd but if he wants to challenge for the Champions league regularly he needs to go to Real.

I’m not sure where the Lloris rumours came from. 

De Gea is 4 years younger and is better.

Good season by United. Fantastic improvement on all other seasons post-Ferguson. United look really strong, especially at home for 95% of games and have turned OT into somewhat of a fortress again. Though the defeat to WBA was a disappointment on that front. Aside from that, almost perfect at home.

Hopefully win an FA Cup and finish second. We've come on leaps and bounds under Mourinho.

Squad is still very messy though. Need to sell in the summer... Create a more intimate squad in my opinion.

We'll push on and improve again next season - no doubt about it. But whether we can win the EPL or not is also down to how City perform... if they repeat this season, then there's not an awful lot United can do about it.As I mentioned in my preview at the start of the campaign - they're just a few years ahead of us in terms of their overall planning. We've ben a mess over the past five years. Despite that Jose's doing a stellar job. Can't wait to see who he sells in the summer ... one or two additions needed, six sales needed. Ideally I would love us to sign a full-back who can play both sides. Maybe two full-backs. It's mostly what the team is lacking..that width that Mourinho teams of the past have always had from their full-backs. That's the one obvious area to improve. We also need a replacement for Carrick. The one biggest disappointment I'm sure Mourinho has had since coming in is Carrick's illness and injuries. He couldn't have predicted them and I'm pretty sure he wanted Carrick to be central to his plans..but it's not going to be the case at all now and Jose will have to find a great playmaker.

Steadily building. Let's try to get back to the top asap. But you gotta give credit where credit is due...City have been unstoppable this season. Fair play.

Yeah Carrick was never the answer. Very odd comment.

I do think Man U need to find a central playmaker.

Somebody like Eriksen would be great for them.

They also need 2 young fullbacks - young and Valencia are both 33/34 

They will sell 5/6 in the summer but don’t need to bring in that many. The squad is already bloated. 

I just find it interesting how the rhetoric around the likes of Shaw and Valencia was of proper greatness not so long ago, and that it was almost certain to be achieved by said players. Now it's a situation of those positions are huge problems at United and those players just need to be discarded. That is some u-turn tbf.

Also the game today, Arsenal without Mustafi, Koscienly, Ramsey, Wilshere, Ozil and Lacazette. United should be able to beat them today
