Oddly, tonight's formation is the same formation I was talking about earlier. Although I had Welbeck instead of Nani. Kagawa & Cesc instead of Giggs & Anderson. And of course Baines instead of Evra.

Nani has looked very good today, I would rather keep him than sell him for £8.5m and not replace him. He doesn't get on with Rooney, but if Rooney isn't here.

Syd, iv been a reader for last 2 years but never posted, idealy i'd love to see onfield what you have in your head, but do you teally believe we'll get fab and baines?

If that's the case Syd regarding Nani, then expect the next 5/6 performances to be poor

Cesc isn't coming and nani has looked good for half an hour a few times but never strings that together over 90 mins let alone a season

I don't think we can afford to sell Nani at the moment. That would leave us with Young and Valencia which is not good enough IMO. As you say, if we sell we HAVE to replace him with another winger.

I think Nani will be more confident and consistent under Moyes. Not that it was SAF's fault before, just a fresh start for Nani will psychologically help him out. Having that nasal surgery will probably help him keep it up over 90 minutes.

As inconsistent as nani is, young is worse and valencia works awfully hard but his end product is not there. He is the only winger capable of scoring 10 goals and getting 10 assists for us during the season. Zaha is still raw and needs atleast a season.

Yep it was good to see nani looking sharp and bright!he looked a threat everytime he got the ball, something I couldn't say for Valencia or young all last season!i think Nani can be terrific!and as Ozwald says, Nani may flourish under Moyes with a fresh start. If I'm honest Nani was our best player v Real Madrid in CL last season until he got sent off!id rather keep him,

Agree Sydney Nani looked very good and we all know on his day he is outstanding and now we have a new man in charge he may perform with the consistence we need, would be nice to see him Kagawa Zaha and RvP and Carrick and a new addition we would look very dangerous we do have a new man in the form of Zaha and I do think he will give the team a boost no matter who leaves and who comes in.

I would sell nani if we can get close to9 million for him he's got to be the most stupid player football wise to play for utd in my lifetime. I would give adnan janzujaj (spelling) and zaha more game time rather than waste it on nani and to the people who say he's better than young are persons at least young knows when to cross and shoot most of the time

I would also be inclined to give Nani another go this season. If he had a decent season it would bring his value back up also. There is no way he is only worth 9 million at his age. He is just as good as Di Maria and how much would Madrid demand for him? Also at the risk of getting shot down. apart from Djemda Djemba and Bebe I think Ashley Young is one of the worst and most disappointing players ever to play for us. He offers nothing and I do believe the only reason he will still be with us next this season is because no premier league club would touch him.

Great. Now Sydney has us pushing out one of the best players the club has ever had for Nani.

12.) 07 Aug 2013
I for one was pleased with Nani, and hope we keep him and can get him to sign a new contract, as fit and happy he could be like a new signing he has pace, can take people on and and has an eye for goal

13.) 07 Aug 2013
I just think Nani is more important than a mere £8.5m. Then subtract his 5% and we are receiving around £7m. Nani or £7m? I think we should keep him until Zaha has had a season to bed in.

I am not sure we will get Cesc, but that is my thinking on the formation. And Moyes went with the exact formation. I think it will work well with the right personnel.

Sydney!

KG, I'm not pushing anyone out, but if you open your eyes you will see that Rooney is highly likely to leave. I have been saying this is a possibility for years. However it's not my decision to let him go. SAF was always going to have the last laugh when it came down to Rooney. SAF has not forgiven him for 2010.

Sydney!

Irishlad r your having a laugh surley young is a quality player yeah he had a poor season last year but he was quality in his first season till he got injured in the 2nd half of the season. When was the last time nani actually played the right ball let alone played well! Nani is an person and we all know it.

16.) 07 Aug 2013
Completetly agree, Young was class in his first season and has been very unfortunate with a string of injuries of late.
To say he's one of the worst you've seen is ridiculous.
