Manchester United

Well given the friction he left here with I doubt he would come back.

Being French he might want to work under Wenger but Arsenal is a step down from Juve and he has only been there a year so it seems unlikely.

We are not getting Fabregas neither or Thiago for that matter so people just give up on this crap.

This is Barca we are talking about they wont go losing there better players to us and United don't have the conviction in the transfer market to seriously compete for either of these players if they became available.

I like Moyes already. Fabregas would be a dream come true.

As for Pogba... No.

the two best U-21 midfield prospects in europe are mateo kovacic, who signed for inter in january, and paul pogba, who we were very mistaken to let go. although how could we know, really, given his performances last season.
if he were available i would happily walk to turin and let them laugh themselves blue while i signed the cheque

Pogba can f**k the right off...the greedy git.

@Jason
I have no idea what the hell are you on about..lol You sound so assured while saying that neither Fabregas nor Thiago would come to United. You're questioning United's conviction but i'd have to question yours as to what makes you think it just not gonna with so much certainty calling for people to just give up...i mean they/we are not asking for Messi and Iniesta. Fabregas and Thiago are a possibility considering their situaiton especially the latter who all but out of there so its not as far fetched as you might think especially with Thiago.

they have enemies?

Surprising, I didn't realise it got so hot in Germany.

@Viper

i see what you Didier ;)

Thats just one of them silly rumours that.

Dont believe any of the trouble causing s**t you read on twitter.

You can be anyone on the internet remember that including a "source"

lot of their stories seem to actually be happening. they must have pretty good sources.

I hope we don't go for Lewandowski. Chicha will develop into a much better player and is already a better finisher

if that's the case it looks like next week will be an interesting one.

They said it on TV too, not sure if it's a rumor.

@Cheshire

Cant agree with that.

As much as I like Hernandez Lewandowski has all the quality's to develop into the best out and out No.9 in the world.

An argument could be made that he already is.

i dont think we are going for Lewa. it doesnt make sense if we do. he likes to play as a lone striker. which means RVP and Lewa will have stints on the bench. i think he will go wherever he is guaranteed first team spot.

Lewandowski can score goals from anywhere and Chicha is just a poacher inside the box. If our wingers were in form last season Chicha would have scored atleast 30 goals.

Lewa would be fine with RVP / Kagawa.

RVP was never a long term signing anyway and if Rooney goes which is likely United do need to bring a class forward into the club as Hernandez can get choked out of games easily if the back 4 just plays an offside trap and its asking a lot of Kagawa to fill Rooneys void immediately.

Despite the fact that Rooney had an average season he still contributed 16 goals and 13 assists and its not going to be easy replacing that and United will have to act should Rooney go.

@MUFC1990

i think we can replace Rooney's goals and assists easily (imo) by giving Chicha and Kagawa more starts. also, if we buy a goalscoring winger. we can work around the problem instead of trying to find a direct Rooney replacement.

About the story, I remember hearing the ITV commentators saying that Lewandowski's reps were invited to the Bayern post match party. So there might be some truth to that.

I think Rooney's productivity could be replaced and shared among RVP, Chicha and Kagawa. What we might lack after his departure is his workrate. Those 3 players can match him or even do better at goal scoring and creating chances but they don't have quite have that burst of lung busting tracking their man down and helping out in defense and his strong physical presence. And if he leaves we'd have to find someone who can do that better than he can score goals or create chances.

we need to spend big this summer ...2 CM and a world class play maker who can operate mainly in a wide position ...classical wingers are dead ..Valencia is dead ...

You are right bro. If we have ambitions to win Champions league which I think we do, then we will need more quality players.

Just one comparison, Bayern have Robben and Ribery playing on the wings the best in business and we have......crap.

I agree with the first comment we really need those signings if we want to compete in europe next season.

To be fair, Borussia easily dealt with them and played them off the pitch for the majority of the game and if not for some sloppy finishing and bad decision making, they would have been deserved winners.
Either way its nice to see Robben finally vindicated and its only fitting that he puts in a man of the match performance.
World class

Valencia can only go on the outside, we need more versatile wingers or wide attacking mids.

What scares me is how far we have fallen behind in Europe. I think Bayern, Dortmund, Real and Barca are all definitely ahead of us and at best we could on number 5 which would mean an exit in quarter finals or earlier next year.

I can already see people screaming that Moyes is not good enough because he has no champions league experience but few will remember our last 2 champions league campaigns under Fergie and how we performed.

we have good striker department, i hate to say this imo maybe chelsea's mids better than us..

^Almost every top team has a better midfield than us lol

@Danzza ...way way better ...don't forget Essien and Kevin de Bruyune who were on loan and did well this season ...

We're not that far behind.

Fegies blind spot in recent years has been the midfield and hopefully Moyes will address this and get us back on the map and dominating and controlling games again.

Valencia and Young are just not good enough, one has lost it and the other was a terrible signing right from the start.

United just need to shake up our midfield both wide and centrally and we are back on the map.

I do have my doubts that Moyes is the man to do this though... I wanted an intercontinental coach like Klopp to come in who I feel is more entwined with the modern game and could take the club to the next level.

I do worry we will end up a flat 4-4-2 or 4-5-1 traditional English style shite under Moyes.

Hope i'm wrong.

three MF or two CM and/or one AM is the world standard right now, i'd really like to see ando, cleverley and powell next season..

Most of the major CL clubs have a better midfield than we do.

Its not even a debate ours is dog s**t save for Carrick who cant do it on his own.

Inconsistent or sub standard wingers and central midfield hopefuls or players who are not and will never be central midfielders just about sums Uniteds midfield up.

you're all so negative, let's wait and see what happens. I think and hope moyes will sign a midfielder, a physical type which is correct, we need a soldier alongside carrick, who is a scholar and one of the best i might add.
and moyes direct style will suit our current crop of wingers more than our possession-based style last year. i don't think it takes much more than that to fire them up again.
one of the biggest differences between the two CL finalists and us is that those two teams use a pressing, active physical defence, whereas we use a more passive, sitting defence. i think moyes will improve our organization and energy in defence, which in turn creates turnovers higher up the pitch - this is where kagawa in particular and our forwards in general will be more dangerous.

I think he's retiring.

Retiring

I think City are keen on signing Pellegrini though. Madrid were initially interested in Heynckes, but reports suggested that he turned them down so they went for Ancelotti instead.

he's retiring ...Guardiola will have a hell of a job succeeding that guy and topping what he achieved this season ..

man city are going to cash in on henkes so they can qualify from the group stages of the CL

City is getting Pelligrini, he hasn't publicly announced it yet, but he has hinted that he will like to bring some talent along with him to the PL.

Malaga also confirmed that he left already. No doubt now that he will be next in line.

I'll have to add that to my wishlist then.

If not for the fact that he is the greatest manager in recent history, I would never read a book that is not written by a person without a phd :P

Nah, I just want to read about the Original Boss. I'll never meet him in real life, so I have to take all the opportunities I get.

I always dreamed of the day.

I always used to think - I hope one day when he retires he releases another book that's epic and all-inclusive.
Hopefully this is THAT book!

if we are to bring any player from BVB then it has to be Gondugan ...

Hands off! ...please

I think from next season he's gonna be on the UEFA board.

Yeah I heard he was going to be in the committee so maybe that's why he was there?

He was also there when chelsea won it last year.

^Ahh didn't know that
