Came off the bench against Swansea and setup the last two goals?
He's been great this season to be honest... just because he didn't score any goals from play in the league doesn't mean he's been poor

Fair enough but that was 6 games ago and that game was as good as over. He is playing the no 10 role and has created absolutely nothing, IMO that is not having a great season, that form deserves him to be on the bench

3 goals and 2 assists in 7 league games.
2 goals and 1 assists in 2 European games.

So 5 goals and 3 assists in 9 games nearly a goal or assist a game. That really is form that deserves you dropped to the bench alright when your job is to score and assist. What kind of targets would you normally expect from a player playing in the no 10 role?

Read my post and then read it again. I have been talking about his form in the league from open play. Come back with your stats on that

Rayne Wooney

Rooney needs to start producing more in the league, he's in a free role between the midfield and the defence and should be creating more.

Have we ever seen Kagawa playing behind RVP?

Your Airbag

People doubting Rooney and wouldn't mind if he was sold

He is clearly our best player and had been outstanding in nearly all the games he has played. Without him I dread to think where we might be and I don't care how he gets his goals and assists as long as he gets them.

I don't want Hernandez to leave, but I fear his hand may be forced by lack of playing time and I wouldn't hold it against him. In fact, he could strangle a kitten and I wouldn't hold it against him. IN FACT, I'm as straight as they come but I'd go gay for Hernandez.

PhlegmyMoses

It would be okay to go gay for Hernandez because he looks like a middle aged lesbian

Not sure if this has been posted before but it depresses me that we let Pogba go. What a talent. Why didnt we just offer him half of what we are currently paying Fellaini per week?

Plenty of talk of him moving on to one of the BIG European clubs already.

I can imagine how bad some people must be when they get dumped by a girl :P

He's gone guys. We've vented, we've moaned, we've lamented over what could have been....can we please move on?

Quandary

People are always gonna bring up Pogba because he's becoming a more obvious talent now. Losing him the way we did was a real kick in the teeth and every time he shows his class we'll be reminded of how much of a loss he actually was to us.

You feel free to move on and don't worry about what others discuss if you are not interested.

You're living in the past, Marge! Quit living in the past! :pac:

Cantona's Collars

Will Fellaini play on Saturday now that Cleverly is out for the next couple of weeks.If Fellaini doesn't then we are running short of midfielders.
Cleverly played well against Sunderland & the stats back it up. 95% pass accuracy & 100% tackles won.Plus when he played,Carrick's passing improved no end & he had the highest pass rate in the league last weekend and notably the majority were forward.
At times he can flatter to deceive but he seems to be the only midfielder we have who actively demands the ball.

That also makes the story that Moyes blocked the Stootman move highly possible, I know many were doubting that. So we would have had deals for Garay and Strootman lined up, but Moyes didn't fancy them. I'm not complaining, and I'd back his decisions if he didn't fancy a player, but Strootman and Garay are both having excellent seasons for their clubs.

kryogen

It doesn't really have any bearing on any possible deal for any other player.

In all honesty, it doesn't actually mean a whole lot about the apparent potential deal for himself, but certainly doesn't mean anything in relation to any other rumour.

The deal was nearly closed but finally Benfica did not accept the offer.

Quote from the article. Think Garay may be talking out of his Ezequiel when it comes to Moyes' valuation relative to Ferguson's. That suggests that Benfica refused our offer. No way of knowing if Fergie would have been willing to go further than Moyes.

Cantona's Collars

Some more transfer muppetry: The Express is linking us with a January move for Alexis Sanchez.Plus there's quotes from Lewandowski that he hasn't agreed a move to Bayern & speaks of his love for the EPL & that he spoke to Fergie before but never discussed a transfer.http://thepeoplesperson.com/lewandowski-hints-at-potential-manchester-united-move-and-claims-bayern-munich-deal-not-finalised/

And Spurs are going to play him ahead of Soldado who they have just paid £26 million on?

Early days yet but from what I've seen so far Soldado will be a dud at Spurs, doesn't seem to suit the PL.

If Fergie was staying on a few more years he would've made a greater effort to hold onto him. As it was, he knew he was retiring soon and there was no way he was going to get even remotely bent over by any player or his agent. He put pride before club on this one.

According to Ferguson. It's pretty common knowledge. Was posted here a dozen times during the summer.

What do you want? A quote? A source? Please.

Paddy Power - ''Are Manchester United building a squad based on some sort of Home Alone theme? Fair play.''

Vic Vinegar

Why does that keep getting posted?

Fellaini looks nothing like Daniel Stern and Rooney looks nothing like Joe Pesci. Unless you're severely myopic or have Prosopagnosia.

No it wasn't.

It was posted there was issues with the agents but it was never posted here that Ferguson deliberately didn't try to keep Pogba because he knew he was going. I don't think it has even been hinted at really - let alone be 'common knowledge'.

Please do yes, a quote from Ferguson stating he couldn't be ****ed or any other reliable source, what you're insinuating is pure an utter fabrication and bollix to boot.

I think it is the fact that Fellani has an afro like Marve and Rooney is wearing a headband like Harry.

No, but give us a quote somewhere. If I said X person said something and was asked where he said it I would proved the evidence and not dish out crap like "sure everyone knows he said it".

Keno wrote: »

What does that have to do with me? If I saw it at the time I would of asked for a quote. Homer said "according to Moyes". I'd like to see some evidence from such a claim.

A rumour without a quote should have said as "supposedly said by Moyes". To state something as fact based on rumours is mental.

My brother and I are heading over let's hope we get 3 points,have tried a few pubs round old Trafford but the bishop blaize is my favorite so can't recommend anywhere better..

Rayne Wooney

How many of our lads are playing tomorrow? Rooney, Welbeck, Evans, RVP, Nani, Kagawa anyone else?


Southampton is going to be a tough game, Moyes hasn't had much time with a few of the players since the Sunderland game with internationals.

Your Airbag

So UTD are in for two wingers

Sanchez

http://www.espn.co.uk/football/sport/story/247471.html

and Tendayi Darikwa from Chesterfield

http://metro.co.uk/2013/10/13/who-is-tendayi-darikwa-lowdown-on-the-potential-manchester-united-target-4144840/

The first article also mentions the following

It is believed Moyes will be handed a £100m war chest in January to strengthen his squad

Headshot

Sanchez isnt a winger

He plays right wing at Barcelona, although his best position a free role behind the striker at Udinese.

Anyway, in both positions we are not short of players.

he plays in the middle

messi on the right, sanchez in the center and Neymar on the left, he may float to the wing sometimes but he mainly plays down the middle

With Chile he plays thru the center too

J. Marston

Another war chest? That's nice.
