Couple of links today about us & Rabiot.

Has anybody seen him much?
Do you rate him?

From the little i have seen, i haven't been overly impressed - either way we do need some midfielders.

However, i think he could work really well with Herrera as Ander will roam around on the Right of midfield alot whilst Rabiot seems able to roam alot more on the left.

I could see him playing where fellaini is currently playing & in tandem with herrera but not seen all that much of him to judge him perfectly.
 
Heh, didn't realize he spent some time at City. They missed a treat. He looks very promising and is only 20. Tall midfielder with good technical ability and passing, you could do a lot worse. Who would be considered better/more talented than him who's the same age in the same position?
 
It happens every window. Rabiot is linked to leave PSG every window. Rabiot's mother is also his agent and does this to make sure her son gets consistent playing time.

More than a better player - what it shows me is how van gaal would structure the team. Like most people i would really like someone like tielamans. However that is purely down to his passing ability & it is really questionable if we need anymore midfielders who pass the ball considering on average we are very good at doing just that.

Herrera does this right handed cover for mata & watching rabiot - he does a similar thing for psg whenever he does get a game.

Actually thinking about it - there is a big similarity with him & fellaini with rabiot being much more technically capable.

Sseems like we're in for a young midfielder... Renato Sanches, Tielemans, Saul Niguez are some of the names we were linked with recently
 
True. Just aaying Martial was saying there was some big news around the corner too. We never know!

Pretty sure the surprise Martial was referring to was a signed shirt for his 1 millionth Instagram follower or something.

This. He is constantly linked with Arsenal. And isn't he a winger ? But the article lists him as a CM.

Any quotes on this?
His official Instagram account if I am not mistake, but don't read too much into it. He probably bought a new car and is eager to show it off.
 
Nope. Not the least bit. But it's not like he would know about signings would he ? Rooney is more likely to be ITK than Martial.

If we're signing one of his mates from France, doubt Rooney would be the ITK for such a deal!

I still think his surprise is going to be something very lame. People will always hype up such things far more than it should be. Also, United are probably one of the worst clubs in the world at keeping transfer secrets. Schweinsteiger, Falcao, Di Maria were all leaked atleast 24 hours before they were officially announced. The only exception is probably when we sign players to the U21s.

Edit: Are they mates ? From France u18s ?
 
The Martial surprise was that he's giving out a signed shirt.
 
Why would anyone think Martial posting on his instagram would be a hint towards Rabiot!

Jeezo!
 
Young left footed midfielder with good all around skills. He has sometimes played DM but I prefer him as CM.

We need him in the squad at PSG and he's homegrown so he's very unlikely to move, especially not for a bargain price.
 
Martial is probably having another kid or something.
