Well, Fred for sure isn't in our best midfield combo currently, not even close imo.

With Fellaini, Pereira and McTominay backups too. Good depth but still need another starter that's top quality alongside Pogba I reckon, whether one of the current players can do that or we'd need a new signing I don't know.Still think that between him, Matic, Fred and Pogba we've a top collection of midfielders.

And Matic is?
I'll keep both out and play with Herrera and Pogba combo with Lingard, Rashford, Martial and Sanchez up front.
I always think he's one of the few players we have who seems to relish the responsibility of playing for us. He shows up, works hard, and keeps things moving. Always liked him, and it's odd he's disappeared of late. I would've thought Mourinho would be a fan..

That's fair, I am still not Fred's biggest fan but he hardly got any chance to prove if he is good enough to start with?

He's so well spoken.

Fred isn't as good as this guy. Can't understand why he's not part of our first XI. He's integral to our team imo.
You just know he'll drop Fred for Herrera in midweek. Matic is undroppable. And it's frustrating because slowly our ideal team is taking shape but we can't get this plodder out of the midfield. Herrera is the real ball winner on the pitch. He should be protecting the back 4.Mourhino is a joker - when he bought Matic he completely disregarded Herrera even though he was our player of the season the previous year. Everyone was saying him, Matic and Pogba should play in a 3 together, know it looks like he might finally do that.

No he wasn't. He was our best player in the 1st period actually winning the ball back for us a couple of times and could've had an assist if Sanchez wasn't wrongly called offside.Fred was shite too.
Ander over Fred at the moment, all day long. If it was about heart, he'd be the best since Keane. I'd like to see him start against Juve.

Are we still waiting for him to sign a contract? Hope we get him signed up - he's a valuable midfield asset when he's playing well.
Should be our captain. Still maintain this from the players we currently have. (which would be fine cos he should be starting as part of a midfield 3)
Not sure it is Jose. A few weeks back it was rumoured that he wanted to keep both him and Mata as he loved the influence they have and attitude within the squad. It could be the length of contract that is the problem. I don't want Ander to leave and definitely not for another PL club. If he left let him go back abroad. Yesterday some news outlets were saying they would let him go to get money for Jose to spend. Well sorry there are other players well ahead of him in the 'got to get rid of ' stakes.agree.
He is simply a leader and gives 100% every time.
The Bonus is he actually cares about this club.
Not giving him a contract that values him is utter stupidity.
But then, we have a manager and board who are not too bright.
Jose probably wants Herrera to stay, but Herrera needs to actually get enough game time. I have no doubt that if he gets to actually play enough Herrera would love to end his career with us, but he doesn't want to be struggling to even make the bench as he was last season (somewhat his fault to be fair as he was playing poorly).Not sure it is Jose.

Think he was poor because he brought Matic in. Herrera had just won POTY in that position and he brings someone in, who to be fair has not been better. That must knock your confidence a bit. It maybe says something for his character that he is fighting back. If he cannot get what he wants I would love him back at Bilbao.Jose probably wants Herrera to stay, but Herrera needs to actually get enough game time.

Great guy, Ander. Brilliant in 2016/17 but he was really bad last season, like really bad. He hasn't been that great this season either till today, IIRC.
