David Silva is not playing tomorrow against Dortmund and is a doubt for Sunday with a hamstring injury!

Mancini said: "It's a hamstring. We don't know if he can recover for the derby. We will try."

I've heard this before, i'd bet my last quid that Silva plays on the weekend.

Shappy

Silva and Yaya will both play this weekend.

Sydney!

He will be fit, its the same trick fergie pulls ahead of big games

My thoughts has already been written, i´m sure Silva will play, and Yaya will benefit from the suspension against Dortmund, so he will be fit (he has looked a bit tired the last couple of games) against us this weekend.

Robert Lewandowski is a phenomenal player and he is still young. I think any club to get him for less than £30 million would be happy so for him to be available for less than £20 million is ridiculous, I would sell Rooney if it would mean fitting Lewy in the first 11 with RVP and then sign Rodriguez, L.Bender and Strootman.

I dislike it when fans suggest selling Rooney. Can you not see that when he isnt in the team, we perform poor and dont even drag ourselves through it? Rooney is the catalyst for our success in my opinion and to United, he is almost priceless.

Lew has 39 goals in 79 games for Dortmund
not sure thats phenomenal, its good and his only 24 so could improve.

rooney has scored 39 goals in his last 57 games for united playing in a deeper role

Thank god you don't manage United then if you would sell Rooney for Lewandowski, what a silly statement!

Selling Rooney would be crazy, how can people seriously want him gone? Fair enough it would generate some cash to sign 3 players but whos to say one wont flop, one wont want to do a fabregas and go back in a couple of seasons and the other be a gobrubbishe in the dressing room? Without Rooney we are very average and im sure if we did let him go players like rvp would struggle to keep getting the chances/goals his is at the moment. Wake up lads and realise what we have in Rooney.


Parks {Ed004's Note - The point about RVP isn't really valid as he was still scoring maybe more so without Rooney at the team, he started off really well}

Fair point but 3 assists that came from Rooney certainly saved us, the 2 away in europe and the one on sat. Im sure he's assisted him more but not 100%. I just dont see any sense in flogging Rooney to bring in other players who are untested in the prem and wont have the same drive and influence on the team.

Parks

Without Rooney we are finished in terms of challenging for the title. All these Rooney haters are insane.

Sell Rooney?
Can play in any role upfront, usually helps defending, has good vision and passing and score goals.
Really?

Wayne Rooney definitely is in the top 5 for the all time greats at united.. Sell him is a ridiculous comment. Any true united fan wouldn't want him sold.

This might seem very cliché but wayne rooney is man utd, you take him out of that team, we would never be the same again, he is what makes us who we are, he pulls us through when we need it and loves the club, needless to say i dont agree with using lewy to replace wazza

So you'd sell a world class English striker who has an amazing all round game to buy a relatively unproven polish striker when we've just bought Van Persie?

Seems logical enough to me....

Not a rumour but this is the only way I know how to contact you eds. Any chance of getting a profile on Oscar de Marcos? Thanks! {Ed007's Note - I have passed it on.}

Much appreciated Ed. I am the OP, forgot to leave a name.

Good AfternOon all !

Manchester United are monitoring Athletic Bilbao's Oscar De Marcos after Sir Alex Ferguson sent a scout to watch him play against Barcelona at the weekend.
The dynamic midfielder impressed against United in the Europa League last season and Ferguson was interested in bringing him to Old Trafford last summer, only to be put off by Bilbao's £25million valuation.
With the likes of Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs coming close to the end of their careers, the United boss is keen to add fresh blood to his squad to compensate for the eventual losses of two players that have been ever-present at the club.
Ferguson has now resumed his interest in signing De Marcos and sent brother Martin Ferguson, his topEuropean scout, to watch the 23-year-old in action against Barcelona.
Last year's Europa League runners upBilbao, who comprehensively beat United on the way to the final, are struggling in La Liga this season and many of their star players are said tobe looking for a move away.
This may mean the club are willing to lower their asking price for players such as De Marcos, however United can still expect to have to offer around £20million to sign him.
If bought in the January transfer window, he would still be eligible toplay in the Champions League which will provide added appeal for Ferguson as his side enter the knockout rounds of the tournament in February.

Anyone think mexican midfielder Hector Herrera could move to us this January? It was rumoured in the summer that he may arrive in jan as I think he was injured at the time. Don't know much about him though.
