today's starting 11

I do like the fact that pundits who preach this line of Moyes not getting "enough money" do conveniently forget he spent 65million on two numbers 10's in a season,players we didn't need at that time, and you can even argue that we still dont need them.

Since Moyes was sacked and Van Gaal was hired a huge change has happened in terms of Utd showing ambition. If we kept Moyes on after finishing 7th and in a sorry state, I find it difficult to believe top players wouldn't question Utd. A lot don't even know what Moyes achieved... Every top player knows Van Gaal! When Di Maria, Blind, Falcao etc signed they talked about Van Gaal being a great manager. It clearly was a factor.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

No way Moyes would have signed Blind or Rojo, I'm not claiming that.

My point being that no one else could afford Di Maria and he wanted to leave Real Madrid. And Falcao signed for Monaco, probably wasn't too bothered who was the manager then.

Also DM shouldnt have been given more time.
He made us into a laughing stock.So much so this board was laughing its way to a seasons end.

Not disagreeing at all. Getting LVG was absolutely the right call.

OT: "I will fight to stay here," he said, "and I want to make my mark. I would like to be a legend at this club." (Falcao quote)

Even if we did sign Di Maria and Falcao, I wouldn't be confident of Moyes doing anything positive with them. I am personally very glad he's history. He wouldn't get us competing.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

That's what I mean by saying its obviously better to leave these players (our squad) to LVG than Moyes.

DM did 3 positive things at his time at United which I wont forget,even if his time was a total disaster overall.

1.Integrating Januzaj into the first team.
2.Getting Januzaj to sign a lengthy contract.
3.Getting Rooney to stay and while dealing with the speculation in a confident manner.

Now im going to clean my hands.

Exactly. Agreed! Is that a real Falcao quote?
Van Gaal has also said he is trying to get our players to play much quicker passing, however because of this they are making more mistakes. He is really focussing on our passing game and hopefully we will see rewards of.

Yeah its a real quote. Seems like we will be buying him next summer then.
