Anyone who believes that A.Young can improve our team is sadly deluding themselves. Even worse would be that he is bought to replace Nani - a player that carried our team for most of last season. Nani's goal attempts per game reminded me of Ronaldo in his last two seasons although he will never be on that level as a football player. Nevertheless he is capable of world class performances and if we are serious about closing the gap on Barca we need to keep hold of him and forget all about Young. How on earth did this player receive "man of the match" yesterday - I was watching him closely and after he scored the rest of the time was spent mainly conceding possession.He was dire apart from one shot that led to Bent missing a tap in.

Nani has been rumoured to be going for a while now and I am sure most of the rumours come from within his own camp!
Nani has some great games and equally many where he is nowwhere to be seen. Strange how many games he was left out of towards the end of the season. To me and it is purely personal opinion, he is not a team player...Nani plays for Nani, not Man Utd. I would certainly not mention him in the same breath as Ronaldo, though few players could be!
Not sure about Ashley Young, but certainly would not be quite as dismissive of him as appears to be the general opinion here. He can certainly turn a game on its head, though, like Nani, his consistency could be questioned.
One reason that United could be looking at Young would be if new rules regarding foreign players are in the offing, as with Scholes gone, Wes Brown possibly on his way out etc, Fergie may be looking at a number of factors.

I question whether people actually read. No roumours have come from Nani's camp, no quotes, no agents speaking . It is more papers making up stories just like they did with Vidic with his injury last season. The stories in the papers are stating Nani is angry about not playing the final but Nani has come out and said he is happy at Utd and is looking forward to the new season. As far as I am concerned Nani is a Utd player. The same papers state that Utd will only listen to offers of 40m. How many teams will pay 40m? none that is how many.

I think Young would be a good addition to the squad. Him and Nani rotating on the wings would be interesting and he does offer a threat from set pieces - corner taking etc.. which i feel we lack.
