Just throwing a question out to the floor. Who do you think will be our next long term left back - say for the next three or 4 years. I'd like it to be Fabio, I'd like him to do as well as Rafael but I'm not sure if he'll make it. Likewise with Buttner, he has a lot of work to do. And then Evra, well he only has a year left at this club I would think. Blackett isn't yet ready either. So where do we go from here? Who would you want?

Fresh!

Baines

Caolán.

Cole
jred

The french left back for lyon is pretty good.

Shahram

Hmmm.. I have been mulling over this question for a year or two as I have been hoping we had bought Baines by now and sold Evra but we haven't so.... Fabio to me hasnt got the ability to be a full back he would be better as a winger imo. Buttner is a far better attacking full back than defending ad that my hinder his progress as a good player. Blackett imo has the potential to be sensational imo he reminds me of Micah Richards but a left back. So in 3 or 4 years Blackett should be and I hope he is and maybe chucking him in at the deep end may have proved fruitful instead of brining in Buttner.

I'd like to see fabio given a chance for a season.

Desired.

Fabio is potentially a better prospect than rafael.

Supasub

Supasub that might have been true 4 years ago but constant injury hasn't helped fabio and has stopped his progress. Playing constanly has helped Rafa massivley and he's over taken Fabio.

I'd rather keep Fabio as back up to Rafa and go sign a proper left back. Would have been Baines in the summer but i think that ship has sailed. And i want Cashley nowhere near this club.

Would have to plump for Baines

Gav

Ogbonna has been spoken about recently. Not just an impressive CB but can also play left back.

TJ

I was actually hoping to see Brady given a chance at left back the other night when Fergie was re shuffling the team in the 2nd half. I know he's essentially a left winger but SAF seems to think he might have a chance at left back. Nothing chanced, nothing gained.

I think everyone agrees on the positions we need strengthening on in the transfer windows, whether it's January (Highly Unlikely) or certainly in the summer. Left Back, Centre Back and Midfield...

I can see some big name departures happening in the summer, the obvious ones being Giggs and Scholes. Still have influences on games but it will be their experience in big game situations that will be the main loss in the dressing room. Maybe keep Giggsy on as part of the coaching staff.

Other departures will include (in my opinion) Ferdinand, Evra and Nani aswell as a few fringe players who have had their chance and flopped (Bebe, Macheda etc.)

Now yes these may be past their best and one jut under performs 9 times out of 10 but yet again their experience is crucial and we will miss that.

My ideal summer replacing these would be;

Rodriguez
Hummels
Gundonagan
Baines

But we all know this will never happen, we just simply don't have the funds for some of these transfers but I expect a shrewd bit of business in the coming summer from Sir Alex (If he is still manager) and I think the summer could shape up like this...

Thomas Ince (£5 million) or Isco (£17 million)
Mats Hummels (£20-24 million)
Kevin Strootman or Yann M'Vila (£15 million)
Ashley Cole (Free transfer)

For a start I think we all agree Ashley Cole is an absolute tw*t but if a world class left back like he still is comes available on a free, I would and I'm sure Sir Alex would bite the hand off and seal the deal. Still talented and is a very experience player (Also very good mates with Rooney).

Kevin Strootman or Yann M'Vila- Strootman as we all know has interested Sir Alex for some time and he will be available in the summer. Yann M'Vila could be a 50/50 option, yes he has had his problems and with him training with the reserves because of off the field problems he would be available on the cheap. No question of his ability and would add that steal that we are missing.

Hummels- Best centre half in world football, Composed on the ball but also a big physical presence. Has the best attributes from Ferdinand and Vidic and would build a solid partnership next to Smalling or Evans in the future.

The Ince and Isco one is a tricky decision to make. Ince would be a cheap, british option and their is no question about his pace and ability. Isco could be WORLD CLASS, his buy-out clause is currently £17 million and that is definaetly reasonable. I would personally go for Isco but it would depend on how much we spent in other positions.

RedKnight

If ferdinand stays, cole comming in would be difficult.

That's why it says... Ferdinand in the sold list

RedKnight

I think Cole is morel likely than people think. I can see Evra leaving and Ferdinand going to West Ham or US. Hummels or Subotic is possible, Strootman is highly likely and Ince also is. I still think we may go for Muniain/Rodriguez/Isco.

So, in terms of incomings, I'd say:

Tom Ince £6 million
Matt Hummels £25 million
Kevin Strootman £15 million
Ashley Cole - FREE
Victor Fischer £4 million

That'd be around £40 million spent, and we would have some significant income from sales. So I think we'd do very well with those changes.

Fresh!

I hate to burst your bubble but almost all of those transfers wont happen.

Hummels is off to barca to replace Puyol.

Strootman is not UNited quality.

M'Vila, do you really think fergie is going to go anywhere near him with his problems?

Cole again do you honestly see him at United? If he doesn't sign at Chelsea he's off to City. He was a good player but he's a grade 1 mercenary and that sort of player we can do best to avoid.

Baines lost his chance in the summer.

Ince is about the only one anywhere near likely but is he good enough?

Subotic - 15m Hummels will prob go to barca
Tom Ince - 5m
Sven bender - 15m
Ash cole - Free
Viktor Fishcer - 5m

19-20 MUFC

If Vidic finds his form again and when jones and smalling return i dont think we will need to sign any additional defender.

Gundogan is very talented but very overrated. He is suspect defending and is not effective in keeping possession. Imo not any better than strootman and neither is goos enough to be the main playmaker in the team. And more importantly we need a defensive midfielder.

Papadopoulos : 15 m/ Sakho : 25 mil/ Mapou Yanga M'biwa : 10 mil
Muniain : 25 mil/ isco : 20 mil
Lars bender/ yann m'vila/ victor wanyama : 15 mils

I havent listed any borussia dortmund players because i beleive guetting them will simply be too hard! I mean why would dortmund sell, and why would the player want to move? they are a big club and well have to overpay to get any of their players.

Mick

Why wouldnt fergie want m'vila, i know he has been banned from first team matches for rennes but fergie would be able to control him and m'vila might also be available at a cut-price so why not? as for cashley, i hope he stays at chelsea or goes to psg because he and rio dont get on and id rather have rio than him

Aaronaldo7

No offence guys, but if we make a serious attempt to get that whiny, snarling, arrogant, hateful little p***k Cashley, then I will be seriously ashamed with the powers that be at our club.

I've said it before, but I'll reiterate it - knowing the price of everything and the value of nothing would pretty much sum up our leaders if this was the case - show some class for God's sake.

We're Man Utd, not a retirement home for ageing primadonnas!

While I think our second string did well last night, Buttner is starting to give me a bit of deja vu. I know it's harsh to judge him on a handful of games in a new league, but the lad seems to lack any sense of defensive awareness. The whole thing reminds me of Obertan a few years back. Both players were considered to be well below United standard in their respective countires, and it came as a big surprise to their clubs when United made offers.

I know it's early days but the lad has looked completely out of his depth in the last two games, and he's not exactly a youth player. In fact, he looked far less capable and composed than Keane and Wooton who have minimal experience at senior level. When we loaned Fabio I thought that we must be looking to get someone in who can really push Evra for a starting berth. Buttner isn't looking like the player who can do this.

Danny Pughnited

He reminds me on dani alves good going foward risky defensively.

Caolán.

He reminds me of Rafael of a few seasons ago. Great going forward but needs to work on his defending. I wouldn't write him off yet, both Evra and Vidic were a similar age when they came to us, and to start with both were abit suspect. Look how they've grown and lets just be patient with Buttner, he's only played three games.

Shappy

Dani Alves is about 500 times the player of buttner at the moment!

GDS

That's kind of the problem though Shappy, a couple of seasons ago Rafael was a promising teenager. This is how Buttner has been playing, he has bags of energy and pace but he seems completely out of his depth defensively. The problem is that he's 23 and at this stage he should be far more compotent both positionally and in terms of composure.

I'm not writing him off, but when he moved a lot of Dutch football writers claimed he was nowhere near Champions League/International level. Ultimately he needs more games if we want him to improve but he's proving to be such a defensive liability that it's difficult to play him.

Danny Pughnited

Lads WISE UP!!

the first game he played for us defensively and attacking he was sound and every1 here was calling him the messiah to replace evra....

he has 2 dodgy games and everyone thinks he wont make it blah blah blah.......if rooney for hear say had 2 bad games you would just put it down to bad form knowing he would eventually come good again.....in fact rooney was rubbish for about 6 or 7 months a couple of years ago and every1 was calling for him to leave........

lets just keep things going the way they are, victor moses is a beast of a player, most players struggle to defend against him due to his pace and strength....buttner did seem lost i admit but give the fella a chance ffs!!

Robbo

Sorry guys i can't even see how you can compare him to Alves. Alves has more ball skills in his toe than this boy. I know we all support the club but surely you can see if the guy has talent or not. Rafael always possessed great ball skill and lacked awareness. Buttner is useless and will be another wasted signing.

Shahram

If Dani Alves didn't play for Barca, he wouldn't be considered half the player he is concidered. Really Overrated.

Hoppy

Shahram :

I beleive they are comparing him to alves in terms of playing style not ability, same way we compare Daehli to Iniesta, cleverley to xavi, Powell to gerrard. It doesnt necessarly mean they are as good, but the playing styles are comparable.

Mick

Everyone remember how bad evra was on his debut, and how everyone said he wasnt good enough to play for the club. the next few seasons he was one of the best fullbacks in the world. give buttner some time to get adjusted to playing for us and with a settled team before judging

01 Nov 2012 12:25:18
Giggs Goal on chelseas mishap. pure class
respect the composure

..constantine..

01 Nov 2012 12:10:37
Keane- I know he has inexpeirence but i beleive he could be immense , he needs a chance of first team football regulary

anderson ! - i have always beleived he has got potential!

He loooked slimmer last night which might comfirm rumours of strict diet!

his performance was great, if he does this on a regular basis we could have our midfeilder were in need of in terms of winning ball and running past and powering through players!

Big V

Anderson slimmer? dont know about that ;), probably the same size as me and im not a professional sportsman lol

Why are so many posters going on as if we were the only team to play youngsters last night, just look at the following, the Chelsea starting team had 6 players who were 23 and under and they brought on another 2 players under 23, whereas we started with 5 players who were 23 and under and brought on 3 players under 23. The fact that most of the Chelsea team were first team regulars tells you the strength of their youngsters and the strength of ours, the fact that they are not home grown makes no difference to the results on the pitch. If Nick Powell or Kagawa fulfill all of their promise will posters on here be saying it doesn't count as they weren't home grown, of course not, it is about quality, pure and simple.
For me last night it was a Utd squad/reserve team against a very experienced Chelsea team whose manager was desperate to win. As such we were fantastic and were really unfortunate not to see it out, as in the last ten minutes we were under considerable pressure. I think we missed a trick by not having some experience on the bench (Scholes), if only to be used as a last resort to see the game out should it be needed and that was exactly what we needed, hindsight is wonderful !!
The downside was yet again the performances of Buttner, Nani and the continued loss of form for Welbeck, whilst the performances of Ando, Chico and Rafael were outstanding. The exit door beckons for Nani and Buttner needs to do a lot of work on his defending as he has been responsible for 3 goals in his last 2 appearances.
A special mention for Keane who impressed yet again and he looks to have a big future if he continues to develop and also gets games. Sadly for Wootton he lost his confidence after conceding the penalty and will struggle to break into the first team squad.

Keanooh

It is not a matter of there age it is there experience... Hazard may be young but he has played internationally and cost £30+ million Oscar cost £25 million..... They ended up with all internationally played players on the pitch and had like their first team that played sunday bar Ivanovic, Cole and Torres.... We had Buttner, Keane, Wooton, Powell they havent played 20 games for us all together and cost less than £10 million all together. We had no Rooney, RVP, Young, Valencia, Cleverley, Carrick, Evra, Ferdy, Evans, DDG. 10 players not even used that were played at the weekend that is the point they had to bring on there big guns as clearly Di Matteo was using the match as revenge and Fergie really wasnt that bothered.

No name - That is exactly my point, the likes of Hazard, Oscar etc have experience because they play at the highest level every week as they are good enough to do so, whilst our youngsters don't, as they are not good enough to do so at the moment and some never will play for us on a regular basis.
Some people have been going on as if we were the only team that played youngsters and that just isn't true. Others are saying that our youngsters are home grown, unlike Hazard and Oscar etc, but then conveniently forget that we reportedly tried to sign two youngsters for the first team this summer, Hazard and Moura, not forgetting that we actually signed Kagawa.
Like I said, it was our squad/reserve team against an experienced Chelsea team with a manager who was desperate to win and the players put up a great performance.

Keanooh

Hi keanohh the reason these guys play every week for Chelsea is the fact they have nothing to get in the way off they went straight into the team. At united it's different if you want to get in the side you need to be a supernatural talent.
Strikers- we have rvp the best in the world Rooney welbeck, heck Hernandez hardly starts!
Midfield- yes our midfield isn't great but it's the most important part of the pitch in my eyes and you cant just throw an 18 year old in at the deep end.
Defence- Evans jones rafael vidic evra Ferdinand buttner. How is anyone going to break through there?
Finally goalkeeper- how is anyone going to dislodge de gea in about 2 years he will be up there with the likes of neur the young keepers will be battling for the number 2 shirt.
It's not that Chelsea's younger players are better it's the fact they don't have half as much competition for places as we do.

Caolán.

Caolain
hazard and oscar would both get in our team as would bertrand and mata
jred

Ramires, Mata, Hazard, Oscar and Bertrand could all play for our starting eleven.... Maybe even Cech could. The point is there players may be young but they are special talents with experience Wootton will never make it at United and Keane will end up like O'Shea.... Just look at the teams from Sunday and the teams from last night and there is a few changes to their side that is classed as their first eleven and then our side where 10 players were missing.

Caolain - Please swap seats with me at OT as you obviously have a far better view than me.
It's hard to know where to start, so here goes, you really believe that none of Oscar, Hazard or Bertrand are better than we have and they wouldn't get a game at OT.
You reel off names in defence like Rio, Evra, Evans etc, is this the same Rio and Evra that are criticised every week on here and the same Buttner who has gifted 3 goals in 2 games. As for the rest of the players you mention in defence only Rafael has played consistently well this season.
Up front, I agree RVP is world class and Chico seems to have re-discovered his form, Rooney is a quality player, but for me Welbeck has lost some form and if he wasn't at Utd I can't see too many people on here asking Fergie to sign him.
Midfield is weak and has been for years, so just compare what we have done in comparison to Chelsea, they offloaded Essien, Meireles (spelling) and have put their old stager Lampard on the sidelines whilst signing Oscar and Hazard, what did we do, we asked a 38 yr old to come out of retirement. They also have a world class 24yr old in their midfield called Juan Mata, now tell me that none of those players are better than what we have.
You mention having to be a supernatural talent to break into our team, well we did have a 19yr old who was recognised in world football as being that good and what did we do, not play him and off he went. I don't know where you get the idea of throwing 18yr olds into our midfield and I certainly haven't advocated that, but I do believe that if you are good enough then you are old enough.
Having written this post it has suddenly occurred to me that your reply was just banter and you never really meant a word of it.

Keanooh

No I mean it's easier for them to get a game because of the fact who do Chelsea have who play in their position? No one of they get injured who replaces them, our younger players have far more competition for places.

Caolán.

So you suggested in the tightest of title races last year to go with an untried youth player or experience. If Paul scholes didn't come out of retirement last year we would have been no where near the title he transformed our season.

Caolán.

Caolain

i am not sure how much football you watch and what you base your views on mate. Complete left field stuff the players that are mentioning would get into our team and our young guys are not getting in because believe it or not they are not good enough period.

It has nothing to do with having supernatural players ahead of them. We have an old midfield that has no pace and an aging defence and they are still better than what is available in the youth ranks. The truth hurts sometimes but get some objectivity if you are going to post stuff.

Shahram

CoalAin BTW chelsea has more young talent waiting to break through than we do and they are a team that is one or two players away from being incredibly good. we On the other need 4 or 5 changes new players. 2cm. Lb, lw,cb.

Shahram

01 Nov 2012 10:01:24
Fergie publically blaming Nani for giving away the ball that lead to their injury time peno....dont think there is any way back for him now (thankfully).

IrishRed

I really want to stick up for him but it's very difficult. Great goal but little else. When he gave the ball away at the end I cringed as the ball was swept upfield. His manner suggests he is past saving, another very frustrating performance form a player who promised so much.

AJH

01 Nov 2012 09:45:08
Well well well, who would have seen that coming, Utd conceding 5 goals, and against a Chelsea team with all their big guns too. You didn't wanna be in that cup anyway, you know big club only going for big Trophies, what is it now, 18 titles….bla bla bla. The one good thing was to see the obvious class of your youngsters you've been going on about so much, you know, Kean 19yrs, Wooten 21yrs, Tunniclift 20yrs and Powel 18yrs, they certainly lived up to your hype, safe to say the future's looking bright for you, as opposed to us, what is it now 6 years since we won a trophy but hey we've only got Frimpong 20yrs, Coquelin 21yrs, Gnabry 17yrs, Eisfeld 19yrs and of course young Jack at 20yrs, mind you I did forget Clevely and Welback for you and boy didn't he enhance his rep as a killer striker last night.
Also at least you didn't resort to league 2 tactics at the end and start trying to kick lumps out of the opposition as they ran rings around you. Like most of you said you can be so proud of that performance, knowing all the players you previously said are sh**e are now actually ok again and your two young central defenders will only get faster as they get older, I think that's how it works isn't it.
And like one of you said, why on earth would you compare Chelsea's 21 yr olds, Hazard and Oscar with your young players, well I guess because of the age and ability thing, but you guys hang on to the belief that their cost makes them naturally gifted and better.
Look on the bright side guys, Nani scored and I'm sure that SAF will take up the option at the end of his loan period to sign up Lee Mason on a permanent contract.
Looking forward to Saturday should be a good game and don't worry about that feeling you have right now it's just the truth hurting.
Anyways looking forward to your intellectual reposts, oh for most of you that's not how you pronounce it….if you know what I mean…..ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……Laters.

Stoner

Stoner, didn't you get enough love as a child - and now come on here to seek the attention you craved as a youngster ?

Or maybe you're just a bitter gooner fan haunted by the fact that your trophy less club (well for the last 6yrs) will see another year drift by without any silverware.

Pathetic - You are not even any good at trolling mate.

By the way - yes you have a few good youngsters - all of whom will undoubtably move on to big clubs - just like all the rest.

Mike

Nice try muppet but the "kids" did brilliantly.

Oh and by the way its a record 19 times bla bla bla but counting your trophy haul wouldnt be high up on your list of things to do ha ha ha...Laters.

Devil Dust.

Lol if a poor reading side went 4.0 up against your amazing youngsters imagine what that chelsea side last night would have done to you. did you actually watch our game last night?up until the 90th minute our young lads were fantastic,3.3 after 90mins was nothing to be ashamed of,i admit i cant see wooton making it at utd but ive always said that anyway,they all did themselves proud,the only player i thought let us down was nani. tell me stoner,is wenger going to treat your youngsters like he has with wilshere who hes brought in so young its nearly destroyed his career,only time will tell if he comes back the same player,as for the others,ive never heard of them,see you on saturday,i bet the feeling your having right now is the rubbish rubbing in your pants after imagining what RVP is going to do with your awful defence...laters.

phil

I love that you think you are the intelligent one yet you cannot spell Tunnicliffe, Powell, Wootton, Welbeck, Keane or Cleverley correctly.

Also every single season Wenger uses the League cup to blood his apparantly phenomenal youngsters yet how many in the last 10 years have actually come through to become 1st team Premiership players? Not many.

Enjoy Saturday when no doubt RVP will score a couple. For your sake I hope you don't concede 8 at Old Trafford again.

Get in the back of the net....love it, especially yours rjutd, that's what I mean about intellectual, now was it 18 or 19 titles and is it 6 years for us or 7, thought you'd at least spot those rj, never mind poppet, chin up. I love banter with you guys...get at least 3 bleeders every time.

Stoner

Save it for Saturday Stoner....

may the best team win..

01 Nov 2012 12:43:14
Oxred, I did say looking forward to the game Saturday and genuinely am, it's going be tough as f**k but like to stay positive.

Stoner....


4 words......robin van persie hatrick!

how many do you think he will smash pat your awful defence not to mention the battering rooney will give them im going for 5-0 rvp hatrick!

Coombesy

P.S i wouldnt come on here on saturday if i was you.

01 Nov 2012 09:04:24
A great game and we should have posted another 2-3 away win, a clumsy challenge gave away the win albeit wooton did have a fine game alongside an impressive keane. Buttner looked dodgy at times, raphael immense, ando superb. The game highlighted nani's brilliance and inconsistent contribution to the teams effort. I took a lot of positives from the game, we can field 10 second stringers against one of the prems top teams and give them a proper game, as I said we should have beaten them! In summary: ando and chico really deserve to be playing against the arse, nani should be sold in Jan and we must re-invest in a wide player a dm and perhaps a cb.

A man united!

01 Nov 2012 08:51:10
What a game, I am so proud of the squad. Chelsea had to literally throw everything they had at us to win that game.
Not sure i agree with all I the comments about nani though, I thought he was sensational a times. But then with seconds to go, ball by the corner flag, he gets arrows away and try's to beat a player and we end up conceding a penalty.
Great performance by the team as we deserved to win the game, being a Chelsea fan must be strange this morning, are they generally pleased with their team/squad? I think not

PJ

Well we're quite pleased as we're through to the quarter finals and you're not...

PR!

01 Nov 2012 07:57:58
Thought the team played well and were seconds from beating Chelsea's first team.
However if were going to carry on playing these crazy tactics, then Ferguson has got to get in a strong defensive midfielder. We can't carry on conceding goals like we are.
NoMidfield

01 Nov 2012 07:00:12
The performance last night should show everybody why we don't play our young guns more. Simple fact is they aren't ready...undoubtedly some potential there from the likes of Keane and Tunners, and Powell is going to be a great player. But they just aren't ready for the big games quite yet. Pretty much everyone on here is saying how good a performance it was etc, and for the most part it was. I disagree with people who say it was Chelsea's strongest available team, it simply wasn't. By the end of the match is probably was...but that was where we lost it. The inexperience of our side came to the fore when just one or two of Chelsea's big names came on to the pitch. I believe we should of started one of RVP or Rooney, with a view to winning the game. Not just to advance in the competition, but to prove that we don't need a referee's bad decisions to beat the top team twice in a matter of days. It would of been a great boost for the club and would of really shut our critics up.

Andy!

30 seconds away from an excellent victory
Doc Ock

Nonsense. The team were immense. If Nani has used some common bloody sense we would be saluting a 3-2 win.

01 Nov 2012 04:33:27
Sudenly i m reading a lot of praises for ando.
Where were u guys when people like syd wanted him to be sold? I sticked that he is good in squad and on game when get time.
People can find that debate in search function.
In short what i always say is its not game of stating 11 only..
So we need to keep hold of the quality if we have alreay purchased it with big money
Rodio17

Anderson was superb last night he just needs to get his stamina up

Had a good laugh when i read this on the chelsea page!
"This coming from a fan of manchester united...champions of.....oh wait i forgot you didn't win anything last season. You're not worthy of talking to fans of the champions of europe, sorry"
The reason I laughed is Chelsea fluked their way to it, then when the tried to play football against athletico falcao destroyed them, then against us rvp destroyed them. Can't wait for around 5 years time when our youth have all reached their potential as on the evidence off tonight we will give them I right hammering.

Caolán.

Fluke or not, they are the European Champions. Their youth also looks a bit tasty and whilst I admire your optimism, I hope it isn't misplaced.

01 Nov 2012 02:17:06
pogba got MOTM again for juve, maybe we should try and buy him back.

Please for the love of god forget him.

Caolán.

Or maybe we should stop mentioning him considering he doesnt play for us anymore,sick of hearing his name.

Hardly got MOTM, more like he just scored a goal

I didn't see the game tonight guys but from what I've heard we can be very proud of the lads can anyone just give me a general review of the game that would be great. What I don't like to see is people coming on here saying how bad certain young players were, now I didn't see how Wooten played but I heard he wasn't great, but give him a break he was up against the likes of Sturridge mata hazard ramieres.
Cheers.

Caolán.

Wooton actually had a good game up until the penalty which knocked his confidence,i still think keane looks the better of the 2,chelsea had to send on all their supersubs to win the game which says a lot about how well the young lads did,he scored a good goal but overall nani was the only player to let the team down,i know wooton made mistakes but they were honest mistakes,every mistake nani made was because he was playing for himself and not the team,if his time wasnt up before i think it is now.

The Chelsea fans are hilarious, they think tonight was a good win where as we will come away with far more than they will. They may well be in the next round but they cannot say they have given their youngsters a brilliant run out that will give them bags of confidence and experience. It's laughable. Very proud of our lads tonight and our support was tremendous, only heard the 30,000 Chelsea fans when they scored.

Anon {Ed 003's Note-There's an idiot on the pitch, now disappeared amongst #mufc fans in Shed before stewards can catch him. Firework also thrown just before ( A well known journo who was there) ..........tremendous stuff}

Guessing you've never been to a football match 003

The majority of our youngsters were playing a important NextGen game, so that's why they weren't available...

PR!

chelsea looked a better team when the 21 year old oscar and hazard came on.
when judging our young players that should be the bench mark

Ofcourse they did, those are 2 of there best players, brilliant observation on your part. They paid a fortune for those 2 and for a reason, you think its fair to judge are young players with these 2? Wrong

I think before some on here start raving about some of our players being worldclass they should rate them against the real deal

i think the team to put out on saturday should be

---------------de gea--------
--rafael---smalling---rio---evra----

-------------carrick------------

-------clevs---------ando------

-------------rooney------------

--------rvp=--------chich------

this team has lots of energy and a bit of steel in it with ando playing, i think arsenal are a very average team and it could be another thrashing for the arse at old trafford im going with 3-1 rooney with 1 rvp with 1 and smalling with 1.
