    The engine room is a worry, if Valencia and young do not produce from the wingbacks, we going too look very predictable, and we going to get very little from mata. Probably one reason why the di maria signing is so important, a change in system

    Ah, thanks, that sucks then, explains the Cleverley choice. I thought it was only a scare regarding Herrera.

    Any idea how long is he out for?

    I think LVG said yesterday they need to do scans (as well as Fellaini) but it's rumoured to be two weeks.

    Where's hererra? Januzaj on the bench?

    Am I the only one who thinks mata is one of our best players? Don't get why he gets this much hate...

    Herrera's hurt. None of the new players are playing.

    Januzaj I take it might still not be fit enough ala Van Persie. I take it LvG is playing RvP first and will sub at half time and at some stage he will bring in Januzaj.
     
    Jesus Christ that midfield. Hope our front 3 show what they are capable of, especially Mata, he still has it all to prove for us.
     
    Van gaal just said "sunderland will have to adapt to our system", I think that is where moyes lost it. He changed according to smaller teams even, whereas van gaal believes in his system.
     
    I can sort of see how this game is going to go already. Reckon we'll end up going 442 at some point, Young will get subbed off for Janu, and Cleverley will get subbed off for a striker with Mata or Rooney going into CM.
     
    So herrera out and we're back to square one in midfield. We need two quality reinforcements there. Vidal and De Jong are a must.

    SAF changed according to many teams all the time.
     
    :lol::lol::lol: Dear God thats cringey from Sky,if Rooney is from freaking Burkina Faso,they would not give a rat`s ass about him being captain...
     
    Hopefully the line up plays something like this.
    De Gea;
    Valencia, Jones, Smalling, Blackett;
    Cleverley, Fletcher,
    Young; Mata, Rooney,
    Van Persie.


    Really don't like us playing with 3 at the back.
    Make Fletcher concentrate on defending and let Mata be the creativity.
     
    Seriously guys why on earth are you guys paying all that money for a winger when you still cant get your fukin midfield sorted and defense. When you play proper clubs top 10 they will suffocate and deny any service to DM. Just look at your midfield lol thats not even close to united quality thats bottom half..
