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

I think the need for fast legs can be overstated, the ball needs to move at pace with players working well together. That can be achieved with players like Mata.

Januzai's has more pace than people credit him with. So I am expecting a lot more even with just what looks like two players added now van Gaal is there.

After watching Nani during the World Cup I think it's time we cut the strings and listen to offers.

Januzaj hasn't got the pace to be a Robben type figure.

He reminds me a little of Norman Whiteside.

I like him but I think that he's overrated.

Seems like they have been after Nani for awhile hopefully their is something to it.

- We have a lot of money to spend

- We have a world class manager

- A blind man could see how weak we are in the midfield area

- Vidal is arguably the best all round midfielder in the world

We should not be shocked if we're in for Vidal...we SHOULD be in for Vidal!

Please God let this be true...

They've only finished top 4 the last 19 seasons but sure Liverpool are back in the big time now and that doesn't matter...

United finished in the top 4 for how many seasons in a row before this season? Doesn't guarantee top 4 the following season.

Arsenal have been just doing the bare minimum to get top 4 for the last two seasons.

Everton could have very easily got 4th if they held their nerve.

Yeah I was reading in Sports Witness that Tuttosport the Turin based paper had been dismissive of Vidal leaving but have changed their tune.
They claim Vidal's agent is holding what is described as a summit in Bello Horizonte with Manchester United and Real Madrid and who has the best offer.
United offering Nani plus cash.
I would pay them to take Young too...

Fellaini playing well for belgium

I expect things to quieten down for a wee bit, the remaining targets are probably still at the WC.

This summer could be epic

The rumoured buy-out clause? that sits alongside the rumour he was at Utd yesterday.

best thing to do now is whoever posted, tweeted this crap then unfollow.
turn and negative into a positive and all that jazz.

So both were wrong.

There is a buy out clause.. Fact.
He was in Manchester since Tuesday, that's what Herrera said.

Best ting to do is check which twitter account you are following. Might not be right all the time but not all everyone spouts random BS on twitter


Btw, what a fantastic day, like many said (especially spot witness twitter), deal was about to be done so Athletic just trolled everyone..

Hank Scorpio

So happy two quality signings that will make a huge difference to the team, and still more to come hopefully

£35m plus Nani?

Or £50m plus Nani and Young?

Jimmy Iovine

Anybody watching the Belgium match?

They just scored there. Started by a great run from Fellaini. Granted he nearly ****ed it up after.

It was the Fellaini we didn't see last season.

He looks a different player.

I LOVE ALL YOU FCUKERS!!!!!!

I wouldn't say it was definitely trolling. It was probably a formality they told Utd they had to do at some point. Maybe Utd requested they hold off on reporting it on their website for as long as they could to keep things as quiet as possible.

They are only playing South Korea though!

I think Fellaini is playing average at best in this South Korea v Belgium game.

I agree. Poor opposition making him look better than he is.

They are playing with 10 men though, I thought he was poor in first half but since defour went off hes done a good job of protecting the back 4.

Backstreet Moyes

Been impressed by Verthongen. He was fantastic two years ago but had a poor year i would be happy if we went for him.

thought the pass in to him that he miscontrolled was the wrong pass, and a poor one. shouldn't have been going to him, imo.

Because I'm going to see (half of) my favourite band tonight, a fitting song of there's.

Herrera and Shaw? Am I still dreaming or is this the real world!!!! Wooooooo!!! :D

Luke Shaw trending on twitter in Ireland - hopefully tomorrow everything gets wrapped up and announced officially.

Ed must be like this all day;



But in all seriousness, great day for the club. After a poor year, both on and off the pitch, we needed a big Summer. Ed and Van Gaal are really delivering the goods so far.

Also a special mention to David Moyes, unfortunately it didn't work out for him as manager but I think he has certainly had a hand in bringing Herrea and Shaw (fingers crossed) to the club. Cheers Moyes.

Sanchez and Vidal please Ed... You have got one hour! GO ED

Sheepy99

Fairplay lads, nice to see something positive happening
Do ye think ye're sorted yet or do ye still need the 5-6 signings in total that had been mooted a few weeks back?

ElChe32

By my calculations at the current rate we're buying players we'll have enough to field 30 teams next season.

**Disclaimer my calculations are the direct result of a few beers, giddiness of a schoolgirl and/or plucking numbers out of me arse**

TheFullDuck

its a basketball gif but if I saw Vidal playing in a Utd shirt my reaction would be the same

Hell no, we are still a long way from sorted.

Another midfielder remains an urgent priority.

thelad95

Sorry to be a damp squib but I'd be very worried if the only signings of this summer were Shaw and Herrera. I reckon we could do with one more half decent midfielder, preferably another box-to-box type, a right winger, cover for right back and at least one center-back. We are seriously short at right back with just Rafael and Varela. I know Smalling played there at times last season but he's not a natural right-back.

I'd still want another midfielder, centre defender and winger. I'm sceptical that Valencia or Young have anything to offer us beyond the rubbish they've performed the past while. Nani could come good but he's barely played for us.

Jaysus lads just fully caught up with everything, what a day!

2-4 more signings needed definitely.

Whatsisname

Reports seem to suggest we're far from finished spending and I'd believe them

Rayne Wooney

Are we giving Herrera 55k and Shaw 100k a week, that makes a whole lot of sense :pac:


I agree with the others, a centre back, another centre midfielder and an attacking player and we should be in great shape for next season, the best shape we've been in in a long time really.
