Manchester United

If James Wilson is going to be part of next season's plans then surely you have to sell Hernandez at the very least. Of course he could just be another Macheda. It's good to see that LVG is basically confirmed. I think he is the right person but I still expect next season to be quite difficult.

I was lucky enough to referee Everton youth v Manchester United youth at the semi finals of the Dallas Cup in 2012. All these names (Wilson, Lingard, Keane, Lawrence for MU and Ross Barkley for Everton) so it's quite amazing to see them play first team EPL football and puts the big leagues of football in perspective. At the time, they were just another footballer and to see them running about on TV is quite surreal.

I'm surprised you had time! 123,460 posts on YF in less than 4 years = more than 100 posts p/day!

We want our post count that high

@20 Legend. Absolutely. Everything went through those players and here you are in the middle of it watching it all unfold. Just amazing.

Welnik gave me my forum cred. Thank him!

Back on topic. So announcement has to be immediately after this weekend 's game due to LVG commitments with Dutch national team. The Brit press are saying giggs is likely to be no2 man. Pros and cons there, but when is there not with a new gaffer?
Can't see any major surprises. Anyone got another view? Dark horse etc.

One year ago today since Moyes was appointed #NeverForget

Do you really want United to keep van Persie and build a side around him? Surely that's what van Gaal is likely to do.

History shows that's REALLY unlikely. You got the best season out of him in his entire career last year. Lightning wont strike twice.

The risk with RVP is that you keep him but lose Welbeck who I think has shown he can be a starting striker for us. Welbeck is actually a player we have developed at our club. Even Hernandez is better value for money than RVP. We shouldn't let players like that go. Juan Mata is who we should be building the club around and I think he works best behind a sole striker.

Has anyone ever seen Leggy and 20 Legend in the same room?

I think it was crystal clear that the team lacked confidence from the moment moyes took over..They didn't appear to know what was required. He didn't appear to know his best team or what style of play he wanted to execute. Louie however has the ego to know what he wants, and it will be his way or the highway. That could present giggs with some challenges if he does end up as number 2. While it might work I can also see value in giggs managing elsewhere for a bit after an apprenticeship or right now. I think giggs needs the senior players to move on before he manages Man U.

Arsenal is the only thing in the world that can make me feel superstitious on occasion

Rio leaves United. Not offered new contract, considering options. What a career he has had at United.

Southampton reject initial offer for Luke Shaw. The off season is on!

Rejected??? Cripes I thought i read the bid was 27mil pounds, feck that's a lot to reject for a left back

Some player eh

That's what happens when a team "desperate" for new defenders come knocking, and you hold all the cards. MAN U will get shafted on all transfer deals this off season. just wait and see.

When the whole world knows your in need, that's when the knives come out.

Happened to Arsenal enough times in recent memory to know the signs.

Guardian reported he would start on 100k/week. Janujaz is on 60/wk
