We have some of the same problems we had last season, little to no pace, Mata shunted out on the wing, and Rooney tasked at creating chances for others

Personally, I reckon we are going to go 433, with the creativity coming more centrally than previously, and width mostly from the full backs.

Mata
--Januzaj--RVP--Rooney

RVP will lead the line and Rooney/Januzaj given freedom to roam a good bit. I don't think it will suit Rooney 100% but it won't be the left wing defensive role he stuggles badly in - the midfield 3 will be tasked with more protection than the midfield 2 from your formation.

Based on the Dutch set-up at the World Cup:

---

De Gea

---

Jones-Smalling-Evans
Rafael

---

Shaw

---

Carrick-Herrera

---

Mata

---

Rooney-Van Persie

That is without any signings after Shaw. Valencia and Evra to swap in at RWB/LWB, Shinji to swap in for Mata, Welbeck to swap in up front.

2-4 more signings expected.

FutureGuy

We are not signing a third player tonight ....

:pac:

Manchester United ‏@ManUtd 37 secs
Ander Herrera tells #MUTV both @D_DeGea and @JuanMata8 have been in touch. "They told me this is the biggest club in the world.


I swear to god DeGea is worth his weight in gold on and off the pitch - serious man love for Dave

ElChe32

My message to Ed tonight

Jimmy Iovine

This is incredible. About two days ago there wasn't a sniff of a signing. Unbelievable scenes.

I ****ing love van Gaal and Woodward.

alchemist33

Just to keep the good vibe going, I'm going to request my tickets for the West Ham game tonight, for me and the little 'un

Kerrydude1981

Time to raise a glass to Ed

MagicIRL

Naming my first born Ed.







...may or may not happen

bullvine

Woodward gets these two deals sorted plus Mata, new contracts for both Nani and Rooney, looks like hes learnt from last summer if that was even his fault!

v3ttel

Just think... it looks very very likely that we'll have two of the most exciting teenagers linking up down our left side for the foreseeable future...... and a ball playing center midfielder....... under a competent, attack minded manager.

irishfeen

Ah this positivity in here is brilliant, such a change a few days makes... so who's next??

K4t

Januzaj starting for Belgium at 9pm.

A sponsorship deal just to even things out

bullvine

I want Robben, get him for me Ed, I don't care what it costs get him..

bangkok

for anyone who hasnt seen herrera play i think ye will be pleasantly surprised, he is a cracking player who has the hunger to get even better. Shaw was a done deal before the world cup just with new southampton manager coming in and shaw going to the world cup held the deal up....

more signings please..... would love if we signed robben or sanchez next

Pay an arm and a leg for a 30+yr old winger?

TheTownie

Blind might be one to come in as a stop-gap until we see where Strootman is. Great squad player to have.
Or as someone on red cafe said martins Indo so we can say we have

Indi Ander Jones

I'll get my coat...

Sanchez, Hummels and Strootman next!

secman

As I said a couple of weeks ago... keep the faith .. called the shaw deal as done.. LVG is the man... even knocked Ed into shape.

don't think thsy will be it..........

Memphis Depay would be good to get, 20 years old. His game time at the World Cup is a goal or assist every 25 minutes...

What else can he see from the future?

Epic gifs in here tonight. The cat one I left on loop. Just epic.


I still think a move for De Jong would be a really smart move.

How Soon Is Now

Me ma and one her friends been in Manchester since Tuesday. Txted her there told her don't come home since you went over United have signed two players!

billyhead

We need a top quality ball winner now. Vidal would be ideal but I reckon he will end up at in Spain. Would love to see Schweinstieger as he has the energy and drive to get up and down the pitch and do the dirty work.

Funny you should ask!!

@Agent_Edward: I'm told medical passed. Confirmed - The player will stay in a hotel tonight & will do MUTV interview & pictures tomorrow.

Agent Edward??? Really?

That agent guy is worse than indykaila.

Nani quote apparently.

Gonçalo Lopes @_GoncaloLopes · 44m
"I'm a MUFC's player but i don't know if i'll play in England next year". Nani about his future. #MUFC

Rubber_Soul

Agent Edward is another Indykaila (probably actually is him). Any predictions he gets wrong, he deletes.

MagicIRL

His name is Agent Edward for Christ's sake.

can you tweet him and ask him for the euromillions numbers for tomorrow too since he seems to have a good grasp on the events of the day?

I don't think I've heard of Van Gaal going with two players who aren't out and out wingers in the wide positions of a 433, he had Muller at Bayern and played Rivaldo out there for Barca I think but not two

One of Rooney or Januzaj would be taken out, but I don't think Rooney would last long played out there anyway. Welbeck would probably fit the system better than Rooney

if we are waiting til January (or next summer) for Strootman, then I could see a move for De Jong making a lot of sense.

I think he could look to develop Januzaj similar to Robben.

Copper_pipe

What if Agent Edward is really Ed Woodward :O

kryogen

A front three of Rooney RVP and Nani would be tasty (maybe)
