13th of April EL
Potential EL Quarter Final

15th of April PL
United v Chelsea

I will be in Rome for those games, visiting the Pope for Easter, praying for a miracle for United...
I hope it is not a bad omen, last time we played Chelsea played I was away too, and that didn't go well, but we did win the EL game, and the other time I was away we won at home to Spurs, and won the EL game, so if in last 16, we win the EL game :P

That's more or less 2 games a week from the start of March onward (except for the International window) if we advance in the FA Cup and the Europa.

1) Great, loads of United to watch.

2) That is insane in the membrane. Up to 26-27 games in 14 weeks.

The likes of Schweinstegier and Young could yet make it into double digits for appearances if it goes that far, Shaw could yet go on to make this a decent season for himself.

Jayop

Yeah it's nuts. The only way I can see us avoiding a situation where we'll have to play 4 games in 8 days should we progress is by having the City game the 1st of March. It's a nightmare fixture pile up that will see us dropping a lot of points due to the quick turnarounds. Squad rotation as you say is going to be so important.

Valentines Day and I'm sitting at home studying in real life and not making any of the matchmaking lists in my internet life, it could be time to buy a few cats. #foreveralone

The fixture pile up is going to be a pain but between now and the international break its manageable.

If United do well until then the three after the break are key for the rest of the season.

1st April PL
United v WBA

4th April PL
United v Everton

8th April PL
United v Sunderland


Win those three and the FA Cup (assuming progress) or EL becomes a reserve team option as the league top 4 will be on. Mess up those games and it could be time to prioritise the cups.

Veratti has been sensational tonight and has been a very good midfielder for a number of seasons now.
I'd love if we splashed the cash on him in the summer. Would be an unbelievable addition to our midfield.

He is only 24! Thought he was 28 or so. Definitely worth 60 mil.

Id reckon there is little chance of buying him .

I know we all want big name signings but I'm not sure Jose will go down that route,I think he will look for players who can be molded/worked into his system and style of play.He never really bought world class players at Chelsea but turned plenty of players into it.
I can see similar at United but maybe the likes of Griezmann bought in as superstar signing and then a few more lesser names(but with potential)

Would you not consider Pogba, Mikiryan and Ibra big name signings?

If not I think your left with very few who could be considered big name signings.

i have always rated Veratti, few posts from me about him

2 YEARS AGO...."Sorry veratti would be playing in carricks position, Herrera just ahead of him, with di Maria beside him, mata in the no10"

2 YEARS AGO..."Yea just look at veratti tonight, a proper player would love him at united"

2 YEARS AGO....."IMO the Vidal ship has sailed, not the same player anymore. Pogba first then veratti"


8 MONTHS AGO...."Veratti is quality, but we need a midfielder than can score and create goals, not another passer/tackler"

Thoroughly enjoying Barca being smashed.

Still a Di Maria fan and find all the "snake" stuff petty and embarrassing.

No point sure you probably would turn it into an argument about a completely different player

if ronaldo was playing the way messi is tonight the commentators and press would be slating him... his attitude has been shocking

Bangkok jinxed Veratti the poor lad

Well Barcelona are out. Happy with that. Luis Enrique will be sacked soon.

Wonder will messi leave after this season

beno619

Also pleasant to see a good performance from the referee. A first for me this season.

Comic Book Guy

It looks like me going with the hipster choice and choosing the other game ain't paying off!!

Still got to see solid performance from Semedo. Dortmund totally dominating but he has held his own comfortably at right back.

doubt it, he practically runs the club. he will be rewarded with a new improved massive contract and hand pick the next manager

Was thinking, seem to be out if cl and Madrid look fav to win the LA liga, seem to be some money issues in the club, wouldn't be surprised to see them cash out and possibly sell to China

Thats why I mentioned Griezmann a big superstar signing,similar to Pogba but dont see too many more like that.
Zlatan is a huge name but was only ever gonna be a season or 2 on a free transfer .
Miki is a great signing but im not sure how big a name he was or is.

My point was more that United will be linked with loads 60m+ signings all summer and I have a feeling Jose will go a different route.Less bigger names but more players who will fit what is needed and will improve.

if they want to rebuild they need a major overhaul, they will have to sell some big name. the defense is poor, midfield needs more legs, front 3 is class but tonight apart from neymar was pathetic.

Miki was one of the best players in Germany for the last two years. Definitely a big name signing.

Jose has always spent at the higher end of the market and he'll continue to do so. I'd say United will get Griezman, a CM and a CB/LB/RB (depending on how Jones and Shaw finish the season with injuries).

I think you may go for a winger soon as well but personally I think Martial could do a fantastic job there, with Rashford been the main backup for Ibra.

Di Maria did not work out for us, but I was happy to see him doing well tonight.
Van Gaal the most at fault for that failed relationship between united and Di Maria, in my opinion. The football under LVG was nothing like what PSG played tonight.

I'd say Di Maria was most at fault if I had to guess.
