We'd still be dodgy in midfield but with players back we'd have enough for the top 4.
Angel Di Maria | £59.7M fee agreed I Maybe tomorrow...or the day after...

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to talk about United's dreadful home defeat at the hands of Big Ange's Tottenham Hotspur. Should this have been the end of Ten Hag? How long does he actually have left? And does Nik finally want ETH out?!

That and writing fecking poems.
---------------De Gea
-------Smalling---Jones----Rojo
Valenica ----------------------Shaw
----------Herrera----Di Maria
----------------Mata
---------RVP---------Rooney
Think something like that could work, hasn't Di Maria been playing CM for Madrid? If so we might not need another CM afterall, that could be the fix until Carrick gets back.

He is actually swapping Champions League football at two clubs to come to us. Give this man a medal.
When we sign him we should put 352 away.
I wonder how much he will cost on fantasy team. I can see in the range of 10.0-11.5. I kept my wildcard for this moment, although I have to be smart about it because I already have a great team. Moreover, I need to see how Van gaal plans to implement him into our team if he does come to United. Sanchez has not particular worked out for Arsenal so far in terms of output.
Asking random strangers on the internet about it, is equally weird.
And if we sign another midfielder by the end of the window,along with Di Maria we'll be set for top 4 I'd say.
If this doesn't happen a lot of people will be on suicide watch..
Bet he's wank in the Brittania stadium on a frosty night.
That team is absolutely SHIT defensively. He played in centre mid when he had a proper defensive mid behind him.
Don't really get how he'd fit a 3-5-2 and don't really get how we'd fit all our best attackers in a 4-3-3 if he came, but feck it, I'd still be fecking delighted with this!
feck me diagonally, it's on 
Yeah. Really hope we can do that. Even if it's not Vidal, just another body in there (who is up to the required quality)
Or, report what they are told [which might be deliberate lies by the clubs or agents involved].
Will we be changing to a 4-3-3 which Van Gaal also likes if we get Di Maria? Can't see where he'd play otherwise unless Herrera becomes the screener for defence/Fletcher's current role and Di Maria plays in midfield
Wonder if this has any connection with telling Welbeck that he's free to leave?
We are not strangers, we are family
Seriously? You surely can't be.
We would still of spent less than Liverpool even if we do get DiMaria and we make a shit ton more money than Liverpool, plus we really do need to invest heavily.
I don't think we will get another top class player after DiMaria but thats not to do with lack of funds, its more to do with Utd being Utd.
Probably why we need another defender mate more so than midfielder.
Now if we could pull of something like this I would certainly be sporting a monstrous boner. As it stand if we get Di Maria I'm still not gonna be pleased even though he is the sort of signing we need to be making but that we still need another central midfielder aswel as a centre back.
Come on the feck woody let's see you play a blinder over the next week.
Very excited. Mail article isn't as confident as Sky, noses in front doesn't sound conclusive...
Just hope we get it done.
Just hope we get it done.
Should I stay grounded or is it really happening? Sky have to be right and exciting news if true...
You think Di Maria could get the role Robben got in the World Cup?
Still don't believe that to be fair. Danny offers so much more than Hernandez. Strange one
This just in: Doctor Who is shit.
A total lack of ambition according to Rawk.
So before Di Maria it's "Utd being Utd, never sign top class players"
After Di Maria it's "Utd being Utd, never sign ... err ... more than one top class player"
Absolutely.
Switching to a 4-2-3-1/4-3-3 will leave little space for Welbeck if all of Mata, RVP and Rooney are fit. I think you're right.
Remember the quote when van Gaal said he can't play 4-2-3-1 because he lacked wingers of Ronaldo's and Di Maria's level?
One of the Dutch journalists last week said he'd be perfect for it. It's possible.
