No work permit and no sign off from the PL on Rojo's transfer. Pretty shocking tbh.

Is Herrera still injured?
We can't go into a game with fletcher and cleverly again. Please god no

i wouldnt mind seeing Rooney drop back n go with this

DDG

Jones Smalling Blackett

Valencia------------------------Rojo
-------------Rooney-Cleverley-------------
-----------------Mata---------------
------------------------ADM(robben role)-------
--------------------RVP----------------------

I think it should be:

-----------------De Gea
---------Jones--Smalling--Blackett
Januzaj--------------------------------- Di Maria
-------------Fletcher--Cleverly----------
--------------------Mata
---------------RVP----Rooney

or


-----------------De Gea
---------Jones--Smalling--Blackett
Januzaj--------------------------------- Young
-------------Fletcher--Di Maria----------
--------------------Mata
---------------RVP----Rooney

Not WUMming here, but playing United used to have a certain fear and almost expectation of a loss and anything else a bonus.....that team and that formation will never strike fear into any opposition!

Didn't Anderson was state that his favourite position was LWB?

Yep that's horrendous. Presumably something to do with the ongoing criminal investigation in Argentina.

If that is the case, I don't see how we are going to get a permit before the registration window closes.

Manc Python, agreed, but it's a big ask to be reliant on them 4 all year, especially when 3 aren't in the greatest form carried over from last season and ones a new arrival.

Not going to tie up this thread much longer as back to work, but really thought LVG would at least make you lot tighter at the back and dangerous on the break, but without a tough disciplined midfield and better defence, it's a big ask to get that invincibility back (or even consistency!)

FFS busby it was his first game in god knows how long and he had no pre season, what do you expect?

I'd be slighlty more píssed at Welbeck and Hernandez who have no excuse.

Firstly, I'm not píssed off with him.

Secondly, if he looks shot after 30 minutes versus MK Dons in midfield, how do you expect him to play wing back in the PL?

He isn't fit enough for that role.

Di Maria better be starting is all I can say. I'm not watching United throw that kind of money around just so that Van Gaal can continue with his mass observation of the squad. What does he think happens in this country, that the season restarts once the manager has spent a few months assessing things?

Did we not check that this could be an issue before signing him?

Clearly not. Would it surprise you?

I'm just hoping we play well and get a very convincing result. It's depressing at the moment...
