I just want to give an alternative view.

LVG obviously likes players who fit his system.

I have a hunch he might go for Daley Blind as the midfield anchor (number 6 role) but he's also flexible enough to slot in at left back and cover for Shaw when he pushes forward to support the attack.

De Vrij can also slot in at right back when Valencia push forward on the right flank.

Vermaelen would be the leader at the heart of the defence.

To sum up, 4-3-3 (Valencia-De Vrij-Vermaelen-Shaw; Blind-Herrera-Mata; Rooney-Welbeck-RvP).

This can then revert to a three-man defence (De-Vrij-Vermaelen-Blind) when Valencia and Shaw attack. Herrera would then drop back and cover Blind as the midfield anchor (if required) and Mata, Rooney, Welbeck and RvP would cause the opposition endless problems with their movement.

Versatility, adaptability and flexibility to be able to play in different roles as well as the technique and right attitude would surely be prerequisites for LVG.

Players moving into various positions during the game is a throwback to the 'Total Football' philosophy but obviously with LVG's own stamp on it!

Is Vidal saying he's not going to Manchester a smokescreen while the deal is being finalised?
He's also covering himself in case the transfer falls through.
Also, if you're contracted to a club, you're not going to openly admit that you want to join a specific club!
Ronaldo denied that he was leaving United then ended up at Real. Likewise Suarez and many other cases.

Beast, sadly I think you could be right about Messi.
Looks like there could be a deeper issue to explain his demeanour on the pitch these days, is he burnt out?

I know it might seem completely outlandish but shocking transfers like Messi to United can happen in football.

He seems disillusioned at Barca and the arrivals of other stars like Neymar and Suarez could steal his limelight and cause animosity.

Time for a fresh challenge?
Hoe about trying the Premier League and joining Van Gaal's exciting new revolution at a club on a par with Barca, if not even bigger.
Van Gaal also has Barca connections and can speak Spanish. With a sizable Spanish-speaking contingent at United, they would help him to settle.

I haven't even mentioned the commercial appeal of Adidas yet!
He would be the perfect poster boy to front their ground-breaking new deal.
World record kit deal with the world record transfer = a match made in heaven.

To coin their famous slogan: "Impossible is nothing"
