Got a feeling that Di Maria might be the last player signed that will play in the first choice starting 11. Reports over the summer stated that LVG really rated Evans, could he be 1st choice in the middle of the 3 with Rojo and Smalling/Jones either side? LVG has also been quoted saying that Di Maria is a world class midfielder. Not winger, not wing back, midfielder. Could he be planning a very mobile, pacey and quick thinking midfield three of Herrera, Di Maria and Mata? Shaw and Valencia as wing-backs with Rooney and RVP up top? Any other players that may be purchased, like Blind or De Jong, would be used tactically depending on the opposition. Just a thought, and I think it would be a very weak midfield defensively, but one for discussion. Also, for the record I REALLY want to see Vidal in that midfield, and if he is signed I'll re-think this post.

Don't think he'd really rate Evans after that shocker

Have u seen the MK dons game if UTD don't buy at least 4 more players they will not get close to 4th. After the dross of the premier league games I have now be witness to a new level of football that I didn't think existed outside the sunday pub league. Nick Powell has had the worse 45 minutes I have ever seen on a pitch and in janko they have unearthed another footballer who cannot cross a ball amazing. This team is in big trouble glossing over it with Di Maria will achieve nothing. Messi couldn't save this shambles £200 million spent in a year and we are here. Someone needs to get hold of LVG and tell him to forget his philosophy the defenders at this club are not top flight quality no composure and useless when they have the ball at feet. Jones always looks good making last ditch tackles that is because he is always out of position and fails to read the game. Sorry about the rant but I am disgusted with the running of this club Smalling, Young, Jones, Evans, Fellani, Kagawa, Valencia, Hernandes, Wellbeck, Cleverly, Anderson are and never have been top players yet we have managed to find them all a job, who realistically would sign these players we can't give most of them away. Fergie has to take the rap for this sat back and let this happen knowing it wouldn't be his problem

Ok. I disagree with my own post. United need defenders.

Nothing like an overreaction rant to a league cup game where no first team players played except the keeper.

A load of kids, players in the shop window and the worst player on the pitch bar none is Evans. Even Vermijl (a RB) is doing a better job.

It's a lesson for the kiddies though and a lesson for LvG. Always play Wilson from the start :)

Jaimej79, calm down, this isn't the first team. It's kids, shop window players and one returning from injury.

The first team wouldn't have lost by a four goal margin :0)

In all seriousness if we had started with the U21's, just the U21's, we wouldn't have done much worse.

I understand that people are allowed to have their opinion, but almost every single post you have posted is negative. What is the point of posting the same garbage over and over again.

Gds wellbeck, hernandez januzai and evans are 1st team players and should be ashamed of there performance.until wilson came on we hadnt had an attempt on target.we were second best all over the pitch and mk dons wanted it a lot more than utd.i don't care wether its u18, u21, s or 1st team you need the right attitude and desire to win, other than a few of the younger players I didn't see that tonight.

GDS2 can you hand on heart say you think this formation will work out for us??

13.) 26 Aug 2014
It was a poor side. I am concerned about the system though. I just hope the players we have to come in can vastly increase our level of performance and get that system working.

Di Maria? Can he play centre half or just as a wing back?

John,

Evans hasn't played for 4 weeks and was expected to play the full game in a back 3 with 2 very inexperienced players. Welbeck and Hernandez are both up for sale and januzaj just had a poor game. Wilson the only positive to come from tonight, what a player he is going to be, will save us a hell of a lot of money on an rvp replacement in 2-3 years time I tell you that much.

Red79,

Not sure I've commented on the formation, I think it's too early to tell, I think it it one that if used correctly with the right personnel will work for us, but I think it needs to be more fluid and less obvious.

Tonight was the biggest win of them mk dons players careers, for united it was just a capital one cup game, that's the difference in desire to want to win the game.

I understand that GDS2 but the problem is we don't have the players to play this formation so why keep playing it one of the things that annoyed me most about fergie and then moyes was playing people out of position regularly the prime example here is the wingback situation we have wingers not wingbacks there is so much difference between these 2 positions but they are crucial for the 352 to work would you play rvp at cb of course not so why continue to play wingers as defenders especially when we don't have any dm who can help cover for me with the squad how it was we should of just stuck with 442 and tried to remain solid whilst we recruited the new players we needed.
