Manchester United Rumours Archive May 04 2015

@Ed002

We ask you a lot of questions about interest in players etc.

I was wondering what your opinion is, right now, on the signings we made in the last 2 years after how they have performed this season, and on Van Gaal and the job he has done overall and how you see it going forward.

Also, how do you think the club are coping in general with the loss of Sir Alex and David Gill.

Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - So, I am sure I will miss a player or two but here goes:
Blind - A lot of eyebrows were raised on the continent because although Blind is a good player he is very slow for the English game.
Powell - Just doesn't look like it'll work at Manchester United for me. As a vesatile squad player perhaps; as a first team regular no.
Luke Shaw - Season blighted by injury, but very significantly over-priced when purchased.
- Over-priced when purchased and came with baggage. Not a great season and might be gone in a year perhaps as the team continue to look to improve - but a decent player.
Herrera - A very good player who has done well but again, very over-priced.
Valdes - A good deal for both the player and the club - you may see a lot more of him next season.
Mata - Was never going to work with Mourinho at Chelsea and both soon realised that. Nice guy and a very good player. Manchester United need to make the most of him, which they are not doing. They need to work around his weaknesses.
Januzaj - A young talent of which much is expected. A loan to PSV next season and then a big decision looms for whoever is manager.
Falcao - Poor season, very significantly over-priced with loan fees and wages - a financial error of the largest magnitude I can recall.
Di Maria - Still struggling to get a decent run in the side, significantly over-priced when purchased. Again a very good player.}

002, who is the player between Shaw and Herrera?

{Ed002's Note - I noticed that, Rojo MPez.}

Ed sorry to be a pain as i know this will be, with you saying about adnan a loan to PSV do u believe it will be a deal where by we get depay and they get adnan for a year?

Thanks

{Ed002's Note - Done to death - try the search engine. Very frustrating for me.}

Brilliant summary, thank you for taking the time to do this for us.

Noted what was said about Januzaj: does this confirm rumours in Nationals today that he'll go over to PSV on loan - with Depay coming to us? ; )

{Ed002's Note - Try not to complicate matters - PSV would like to take him - or use the search function.}

No worries, sorry

If the media are correct then yes Depay to us with Januzaj going there on loan as a sweetener.

Mpez - I imagine Rojo.

Whether it happens or not I'm not sure but would a loan to the dutch league be good for Adnan? Would he not be better off in the PL with a mid table team such as Everton? I really hope he can become a star with us, it's been far too long we produced something special from the youth academy.

Hi Eds,

Just had a look on the other pages and noticed that one of you posted about utd being interested in Clyne and coleman. I know rumours suggest that we did get sounded out fir Dani Alves, but i was just wondering if there were any new names for right back that we are interested in? Personally, i like the torino lad, darmain.
Also, does anyone know how the lad from bolton, Andy Kellet has been getting on and if utd might buy him?

Any replies are appreciated as always!

{Ed002's Note - I have no idea about players from Bolton. I have explained where I know of interest and it is frustrating to have to do the same thing over and over. But once more: There is interest in River Plate's Cancelo. Coleman would be expensive and remains "not for sale". Perhaps Clyne would be a better option. Alves is negotiating with Barcelona again. Danilo of Porto has been looked at but is heading elsewhere. Darmain was looked at but there is no interest right now.

Thanks ed, i do use the search function a lot tbh. Only wanted to see if there were any new players added to the list. Cheers

Hi Eds, could you let me know if we've got any interest in Sofiane Boufal
Looks a very good young player, dribbles past players well, wins free kicks for fun, potential new hazard?

{Ed002's Note - None.}
