Out:
They've been truly great for us but it might be time to wave goodbye to Carrick and Rooney. Young, Valencia, Jones, Fellaini, Lingard... If the right quality was available in their positions, any of these could be vulnerable.

In:
I can't offer names because I just don't know who's realistic, especially without CL football. But:

CB Like it says in the OP, someone with a bit of experience, just coming into his peak, would be ideal.

CM We need Schneiderlin to step up to the plate and Schweinsteiger to have one more good season. Blind and Herrera can fill in but we may need a youngish player to come in and replace Carrick.

RW Someone with pace, goals and the ability to beat a man.

CF Probably the hardest to call. Martial could be a star for us here long term but we could do with another established goalscorer, ideally with PL experience.

Not much to ask.

Formation:
Probably a sort of 4123.

I'm the boss!!!????


Buying Carroll and Nenteke to form a lethal triumvirate with Fellaini.

Joe Cole, Charlie Adam in behind. 5cbs who can launch it long.

Which stand you gonna name after me?

My anger has subsided slightly. Most of the players aren't good enough and it is now a LVG side and I blame him mostly although our recruitment policy has been shocking for some time.
We need a plan, a strategy, a playing system to adopt throughout the club.

OUT - Almost everyone except De Gea, Martial, Smalling & Shaw

Who id get rid of?

Valencia (should of been years ago)
Jones (same)
Young (same)
Lingard (not good enough)
Depay (too lazy, doesn't have the talent to match his attitude either)
Rooney
Fellaini
Rojo don't rate him and always injured
Darnian as well probably.

Lot of work to do.

Oh and Carrick needs to go as well.

I'm pretty sure I have done a similar thread beforeC. It's fun so here goes.

Firstly, my message to the squad -

Guys, this is man Utd. I know the last couple of years have been 5hit, but The excuses stop now. I will be giving you licence to express yourselves however I expect results. This is Manchester United for gods sake, we should be looking to wipe the floor with whoever we line up against. If anybody thinks they aren't good enough then let me know and il get you a deal at a smaller club.

ins and outs - firstly DDG is told he isn't going anywhere. He is the best in the world and we need him to help take United back to the top. If it isn't happening in 2 seasons then he can leave with my blessing.

A list of CB's, CM's wingers and CF's is given to Woodward who is told, you want trophies and bigger sponsorship deals, give me 1 of each and you'll get that. Now Go do your job.

Fellaini, Jones, Valencia, Rojo, schweinsteiger, schneiderlin, Herrera, Depay are told, I don't believe you are good enough for United. You have 1 season, prove me wrong. Rooney is told he needs to get goals to stay in the side going forward.

The message is we defend from the front and when we are in possession the ball must go forward. If their isn't a pass on, I will want to know why.

I set up in a 433 with DDG as captain

Darmian Smalling new CB Shaw

Schneiderlin Mata New CM

New winger Rooney Martial

No change in the goal keeping front. To me to but if an offer comes in for Romero, sold.
We need to buy 2 CBs. One more established and one a bit youngish. Darmian should be given another season. BJ add back up to Shaw. Varela as back up to Darmian.
Blind will move back to midfield but can be used as an emergency cb or LB if need be.
We need a creator in midfield. A right wing-attacker who can cross but also has a few goals in him. A striker, too.
Icardi could be that striker. But not sure about the other two.

I'll let Valencia leave. Fellaini, Jones and Rojo too. I like Mata but in the system I'm going to to play he'd have to play deeper or on the right like before. So if an offer comes in, he goes. I'll keep young too as he is versatile. Lingard stays as back up. Rooney, if the Chinese rumours are true can leave but that means another striker or someone on the left. Depay stays or goes depends on a offer coming in or not. So that's 5-8 players out.


Formation: 4-5-1 ( or 4-1-2-3 or what ever is called now)
GK: De Gea, Johnstone, Romero
RB: Darmian, Verala
CB: Smalling, New CB, New youngish CB, McNair (I'll use him as a CB so he can settle)
LB: Shaw, BJ
DM: Blind, Carrick (he is now the back up, he is old and injury prone to be relied upon)
CM: new CM, MS/Herrera (as his first choice partners), BS, Mata (try to convert him to play deeper, but will need an energetic b2b beside him, hopefully Herrera or MS can play those roles)
RWF: New signing, Mata, Lingard.
LWF: Martial, Young, Depay (if Depay is sold, Perreira comes in)
CF: Icardi, Rooney (if sold, then me striker needed or Martial to fill in and need another on the LWF position ), Wilson.

Adnan, Perreira and other fringes should be sent on loan to other Prem clubs or at least somewhere of a high level for first team football.

We could do with improvements all over but need to have some players settled and not go for a revolution all the time. That's not how you make a team.

Some players mentioned by others already can fill in the new signings such as Larporte as a CB or Griezmann as a RWF. LWF can be Munian. But ideally anyone better than we currently have, who ever they are.

Oooooh your lack of humour getting the better of you

No more ridiculous than you having a mate who's boss was told by a utd director that LVG would be gone, how long ago was that now?
