What do people make of Varela moving to RM on a season-long loan with option to buy for €5m?

Will be interesting to see if Di Maria plays any part of the match. If he doesn't then it could be a big sign.

Didn't you say he wasn't in the squad earlier Syd?

That wasn't me mate. Someone did say that he will not be in the squad, but I think he will be. But perhaps not used during the game. It will be interesting to see.

Where does it say that?

Does anyone else find it strange that our players are picking up injuries at an alarming rate. Hope Van Gaal ain't flogging them to death.Depending what you read or listen too the Di Maria frame is taking the same rout as all the other big names we are tracking. Let's face it, we are not the draw we once were, being out of champions league ain't helped nor as the fact that Fergie and Gill have left. Did not like Paul Scholes recent comments about our current team, but starting to believe what he says. Maybe we have had our time as a dominant team, and we may be well off the title for a few years. Here's hoping the Glaziers and Woodentop deliver on their promises . We Will See.

Not a great shock. Orthodox right back that unlikely to fit LVG model.

Di Maria isn't in the squad is he?

Scholes was an amazing player, but nearly every public comment he's made over the last few months makes me thankful he kept his thoughts to himself as a player. Also makes me wonder whether he kept his mouth shut on Fergies orders.

Apart from one fair comment about Wilshere, he has talked some utter sh**e.

ODavis, I agree, also with the rumours that Rafael is also on his way out. It's wingbacks all the way with LvG, which means the 3412 is not going away anytime soon.

Pardoe, I don't know mate.

10.) 22 Aug 2014
Scholes hasn't said anything different than what a lot of united fans think!

11.) 22 Aug 2014
Worth signing him then.

Wasn't he home sick?

Given the 3-4-1-2 and need for players to be adaptable it's possible that Blind, Cuardardo types will be brought in. Be interesting to see if Hernandez now stays, with Wellbeck making way

13.) 22 Aug 2014
Scholes is spot on.

14.) 22 Aug 2014
Doesn't look like Di Maria is in the squad.

RM allegedly turned down offer for Di Maria of €48 from Barcelona. He's a good player but never worth that much!
