Rooney & Kagawa interchanging could work.

I agree totally Zerks. I dont think Rooney is creating anything this season playing in the middle so I cant understand why Moyes doesnt play him left and Kawaga in the middle

Personally I would go for Reus. He would bring a lot of pace to our game. One of the things we are lacking

I'd love Reus but we'd be looking at Kagawa + 20m I reckon for him .

Ah, Joey Barton. You're some boy.

Rooney is playing in the number 10 position but is now playing like a centre forward,the result is a huge disconnect between the midfield & forward line,the result is lack of service to RVP and 1 goal from open play in over 8 hours of football.

People will say "oh he dropped deep in such & such a game",maybe but that's just to help out defensively,we've nothing to lose by shifting him left and playing Kagawa in the #10 position.

Cleverly is injured and has returned to Manchester for treatment,he'll miss England's 2 games at least.

Been saying the very same thing. If it's true that we're trying to get him talking about contracts then there is little chance of him playing anywhere but through the middle for the foreseeable.

However, if we could con him into signing up for 3 or 4 more years we then do what we wanted with him.

Or just cash in on him and sign someone who actually wants to play for the club.

Hopefully he doesn't miss United games.

Think he has done well this season so far - and we have feck all options anyway.

I don't disagree, I wanted to sell in the summer if a suitable buyer could have been found.
Although if you could get him signed up you could still sell at an even better price.
I reckon SAF had something like that in mind when he originally asked to leave back in 2010 and he got him to sign a new contract. With the way things went last season I don't think his first attempt to leave was ever forgotten.

We don't want to sell within England, European clubs don't seem to want him - none bid for him in the summer.

I agree Mitch. I think it just goes to show that he is overrated. Personally i think his best days are over him. Only Chelsea were interested in him and that was out of desperation. It was a kick in the bum to him over the summer when no one else showed any interest in him

James Ducker & Stuart Mathieson (MEN) are both reporting he's out for up to 3 weeks .

So that would put him out of Southampton next weekend, probably the Real S. game and maybe Stoke at home.

Annoying, but we should be able to do without him (especially considering he isn't a star!) but never nice to lose an option.

Hopefully Fellaini's wrist holds up....

When I said move Rooney left, I got shouted at :mad:

Winston Payne

Rooney left would be worse. He doesn't beat people regularly, not possessed with a great deal of pace or explosive acceleration. He'd moan about it instantly too.

Pj!

If you're going to put Rooney on the left you've got to be prepared to lose him to another club in the near future.

2 strikers 1 lam 1 ram 2 dm

Workable?

Fullbacks providing width.

Vic Vinegar

According to media reports Adnan Januzaj has agreed to stay with Manchester United and will sign a new contract worth £30k. #MUFC

17 year old brazilian striker Bruno Gomes is very close to joining Manchester United from Desportivo Brasil. #MUFC #MANUTD

Rooney on the left? must be international week so.

Rooney already spoke about the need for him or RVP to drop off the front so once they get uses to it things will work out nicely.

From the start it appeara United will be using the wide men in more narrow positions rather hugging the touchline, opening up space for full backs to provide the width. Kagawa should be the one of him and Rooney doing that from left or right midfield when the three lads are available. Rooney is better dropping off the front from a forward position while Kagawa is better used in build up play and making runs from deeper positions.

Evans, Kagawa, Fellaini, the English lads later, and possibly Hernandez tomorrow.

Don't know if RVP is in Holland's lineup tonight

think RVP is injured and is not due to play. he certainly is a doubt anyway.

Hopefully he won't play.

They're 8 points ahead of second place in their group so I don't see why they'd play him anyway.

Rayne Wooney

Rooney and Welbz start for England.

Looks like Danny Welbz playing left wing with a front two of Rooney and Sturridge.

Evans really has a stupid side to him

Galatasaray meant to want to sign Valencia during Christmas transfer window, for 12.5m ,I'd take the money and run.

If that's true i'd take the money too at this stage. Think he's reached the point of no return as regards confidence in himself playin for utd.

Our problem is gettin someone decent in to replace him i suppose.

Certainly is a fine player and unfortunately another poor decision it would seem for us not to sign him.

On another note, kroos would really fit the bill for us. Classy player and still so young.

Messi is good as well. Probably similar chance of getting him as Kroos :P

It's annoying though, the club want Herrera who has a crazy buy out clause yet they let Roma take the underage Holland captain who is already a really good player with bags and bags of potential for £14m.

Whoever is in charge of transfers at United needs to start working harder.

not good enough, according to Moyes. We didnt need Thiago or Ozil either according to him and god knows who else.
