Well that's shit. Makes it even more irritating that Fletcher and Anderson were given games ahead of him. :(
 
Everyone saying the club is shit at keeping hold of young talent

It's only Pobga, not one other departure has mattered at all. 9/10 there is a good reason the club won't fight hard to keep the player and that is because they are not worth it.

yeah of all the young talent that people moaned about leaving only Pogba was a bad thing, a very huge bad thing, but the only one I can really think of in the last few years that we really missed on when we were not able to keep him.
 
He's going back home to PSV. I'd say it's as likely that he's homesick as anything else.

It's not like he's being snatched up by some European giant that can make us regret playing him at the highest level. It's the Dutch league, not Serie A, or Ligue 1 or someone in the CL.
 
Anderson has started instead of him against MK Dons and he wasn't on the bench a single time in 4 matches against Yeovil, Cambridge and Preston.

It's a shame if he goes but i can a bit understand it.
 
I'll be disappointed if he leaves but given where we are as a club (struggling through a rebuild), where proper players like Herrera can barely get 7 starts in 7 months, it's not surprising if he leaves to get more time elsewhere.

Please god let this be a good will thing behind the scenes to tie up Memphis Depay. Sad to see a talented lad go though if true.

It would be great if we re-signed him and then he went on loan to PSV for a season as part of a deal for Depay.
 
It always amazes me how on here any negative news regarding the club is instantly accepted as fact and overreacted to while a positive story could come from the same source but is almost always assumed to be just the press making things up

How often do players renew in this kind of situation? Even if the PSG rumour is false, it does seem increasingly unlikely that he'll remain a United player after this summer.

I know the journalist is reliable especially when it comes to PSV but I'm not only talking about this occasion its always the same on here. There's always a massive desire to jump on negative stories on here but if a story is positive its immediately dismissed
 
If with the talent he has he is not getting a sniff as others have said it doesn't look like LVG rates him as highly as people here.

Pogba being the exception generally if players are good enough they get chances here. If we want to keep him and he would rather go to PSV because he can't break his way into the team i'm not sure if it's the type of attitude we need anyway.

I don't like to see us having to pander to these young foreign lads to keep them happy it's the manager who decides when they are ready not them. If they would rather take the easy option of leaving for a lesser club to get game time than try and prove the manager wrong it's probably for the best in the long run.

I agree with you. But in the case with Pereira....i haven't believed the PSG rumours but the PSV Eindhoven rumour is very strong.
 
Hes an ok player but would never have been that good for us. Hope he does well back in the Dutch League.

He is far more than an ok player.

what makes him far more than ok? The stats he is producing? The goals he is scoring? The global recognition he is getting? The level at which he is playing at? None of the above. He is a decent player for our under 21's. He's an inconsistent flair player who sometimes looks pretty good and other times might as well not be on the pitch. I'm just saying if he goes to PSV the club will probably live.
 
Rumours that he's as good as gone.Meanwhile he's keep training with the first team,tweeting/instagraming about United and playing every game for United U21s...
 
Par for the course for United.

Meanwhile, Chelsea sold Hazard's brother for 8m Euros after buying him for 500k a couple of years back.
 
I would like the club to secure him on a new deal. However, he doesn't give me the same feeling Pogba and Januzaj gave. Could go onto become a very good player but I don't think it's as crucial as those two cases. In saying that, I do think it's important for numerous reasons that we do sort a deal out.
 
i understand this is difficult to feature him game time this season for we already are having mega bucks signings warning the bench. i hope we can arrange a new contract with him and a loan out to the netherlands. i think this is good for him to maintain connection with the club too.

How the feck do they keep doing it??? He's barely made 20 league appearances for Gladbach. Was he that good? Can any Bundesliga fan provide further info?

I'd say he showed promising signs. He's clearly talented, but he's still a step away from being a quality player for a team like Gladbach. That being said, 8m Euro isn't that much money for a talented young attacker. According to Bild Chelsea also has a buy back clause over 25m that they can trigger in 2018, so it looks like they still rate him as well and want to keep an easy option to get him back.

Sounds like you're describing last season's Pereira. He's done well after being moved further back in midfield rather than playing as a 10.
 
Maybe he's just not impressed Van Gaal in training, maybe he's homesick. For what ever reason he seems to be leaving us good luck to him if this is indeed true. There may be a silver lining. He might be used as a sweetener for Memphis Depay. The kind of player we need here.

Would be close to impossible, his contract is running out so if PSV wants him, and he wants to leave there is nothing United can do about it and there wouldnt be negotiations about Depay in that deal. I think Depay is a situation apart from this one.

Unless he is released by us I think we can ask for a compensation fee if I remember rightly. However it is still no clear if the sources above are reliable.

He's decent but certainly isn't standing out at U-21 reserve level the way future first-teamers have in the past. Still young enough he might do, one day, but we're not talking about a Januzaj kind of talent here.

He is a player who may become a very good player. In terms of his ability technically he is very good and he is getting stronger and his decision making is improving all the time. Players develop at different rates and have bursts of good and bad. He is one of the better of our young players coming through and it is a shame he is moving on if he is. I am not talking Pogba level (Pogba is on a path to be one of the best in the world) but there is a chance he could get to a level that we need and be a very good player for us.
The idea that he is "just ok" is something I dont agree with, he has real potential.
 
Do we know if theres a reason he wasn't played? Perhaps he hit a clause etc..

I can't imagine LVG genuinely preffered Ando & Fletch to him, I think it's more the LVG youth thing, I haven't seen him use a young player unless we are quite weak in that area.. (Wings, RB)

I imagine plenty more will leave too, what's a shame though is, he clearly isn't worse than Fletch/ Ando and would have been a cheaper salary option for a squad member, can't think of one reason we didn't value/play him?

He will never be a top 20 midfielder, he's a squad option for a top 4 or a starter for 5th - 10th in prem IMO, that's his potential at least, we will see where he ends up, but as I said above, I'd have liked us to have kept him for at least a squad player.

How is it poor planning? How does "planning" stop someone wanting to leave?
Click to expand...

Because by "planning" a year ago, we could have given him more time, which would have made him feel more valued, and like he had a future here, making it more likely he would have stayed, what we don't know is if LVG rates his potential like we do.
 
If he wants to leave, he will leave no doubt about that. These days, players have more power than anything else, and if he refused two offers, then it’s for sure that he will leave.

We have no place in the starting XI for Carrick/Blind/Herrera/Di Maria/Mata and the boy would like to play above them?

We’ve let Fletch go this January because he didn’t played much and what will we do with a young boy like him wanting to go ?

If he does a Pogba, good for him, bad for us.
