Manchester United Thread

Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

No Young is 26.

Great game, both teams made it more than a traditional Community Shield due to the rivalry and both teams not holding back.

Start from back to front on the talking points. De Gea did seem to make a mistake on the 2nd but its his first competitive game and the fact he so easily just moves on from the mistake and not let it hinder the rest of his game is great, the potential is very easy to see top talent.

Smalling at RB reminds me of O'Shea 02', Im just waiting for the depressing day when he suddenly becomes a stiff slow steady eddy. Great game unbelievable talent. Jones was also pretty impressive actually more so than I've seen prior and Evans had some really good moments (had a great run but decided he wanted to keep the ball instead of passing)

Anderson was really good I thought, the way he got out of some tight spots and manoeuvring the ball was sensational. decent passing. Carrick was a real disappointment and was completely overshadowed by Cleverley and Anderson who showed that they could be a great pairing. Cleverley passed and moved and didn't seem to dwell on the ball and didn't seem to have that fear of the occasion which you sometimes worry about Carrick.

Nani was amazing but in all honestly he's been amazing for over a year, hopefully he can add more goals to his game (only thing missing for him IMO) and today was a good start!

Honestly, I just don't thing Young is that good, he seems to have "improved" us slightly be being quick and having decent ball control which allows Nani to operate on the other flank but he losses the ball countless times, doesn't have amazing close control to beat players, and his crossings been awful. I'll wait and see but I wasn't too happy with his signing and he's not shown me anything to change that. Welbeck seems a much better talent who could probably operate on the left if needed and he had a decent game.

Some of the football we've been playing is pretty awesome. the 2nd goal :... Maybe we'll be seeing more of those type of build up plays.

Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

Tom Cleverley I was hugely imprest.

Its good to see United in such a new fresh position, these young players Cleverley, Jones, Smalling etc wont half give the likes of Ferdinand, Carrick a kick up the rectum. I was imprest by Evans also today

Breath of fresh air

Id line up against WBA like this: De Gea, Smalling Jones Vidic Evra, Nani Cleverley Anderson Young, Welbeck Rooney

Their amazing talents but you can't just throw them all together this soon consistently.

Rafael--Rio-Vidic--Evra
----Cleverley-Ando----
Nani---Rooney--Young
------Berba/Welbeck
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

Impressed with Young's reaction after Smalling's goal.
He called in everybody to get back to the game and go for it.
Seems like he has been in the team for a while now.
Loved the reaction after Nani chipped in his first goal.
Everybody involved in the move ran to celebrate...they knew it was a great team goal.
The crowd behind Hart's goal just went mental when they saw Nani running through on goal.Epic!
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

If Arsenal are really going to let Nasri go, I really, really hope we at least put in a proper bid. I know he'd be on more money at City, but we can offer him a better chances of first XI football (who is he going to replace at City?) and more prestige.

Come on Evra, get on your phone...

I'm glad Cleverly had a good 45 minutes, but he's still a vastly worse option than Nasri.
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

Hrm, Sneijder rumours heating up again...

----------De Gea----------
-Rafael-Rio--Vida---Evra--
------Carrick-Ando--------
-Nani-----Sneijder--Young-
----------Rooney----------

Just not sure what a massive improvement that is on the same, but with Hernandez/Welbeck/Berba up top and Rooney withdrawn. Unless of course Sneijder shows he can play as part of a 2...
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

Theirs' no point trying to pin him down or our first 11 down,the amount of variation of formations and lineups are vast it would just add that much needed midfielder and a top class one at that. he would be the last piece of the puzzle in my book even if one puzzle is maybe not the best fit (Young IMO) it would seal a brilliant window.
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

True, and there would be something very satisfying in buying one of the world's best players after one of our most successful 5 year stints in history.

We'll see. Happy to sell some fringe to pay. Obertan gone, Gibson likely to follow maybe Diouf next...

Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

Sadly, I gave up on Sneijder rumours...been too long, I gave up already. (I do hope that I'm wrong though)

Just that we do seem to have youth coming along (I'm not jumping onto the Cleverly band-wagon yet...as good as he is, its still only a pre-season tour, still need games to prove himself when it matters) we do seem to be able to cope this season with what we have.

Speaking of the Cleverly band-wagon, I've already seen a person here in Hong Kong with a Cleverly jersey....I hope that he can replace Scholes or Keane to be the player we need!!
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

once Honk Kong start buying.... he becomes legend! the People of China makes MUTD the biggest club in the World. I wish Arsenal had that support.
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

Some pretty itk journalists just come out and said United have basically told them that we won't be signing Sneijder - wage demands just too high.

Sad about not getting some real quality in the midfield, but also somewhat glad that we're not being ridiculous with money at a time when we can't really afford to.
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

Gotta love Kiko's accent.

And how f***ing cool is Berba.

My initial fears about de gea are coming true. Too young and inexperienced to fill van der sars shoes. Lloris or stekelenburg would have made more sense.
