Defenders
Fabinho
Herrera Pogba
Mkhitaryan Griezmann Perisic

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss three 1-1 draws.
The first got us knocked out of the FA Cup, the next puts us in a good position in our Round of 16 Europa League game, and the latest was an actual decent performance against Arsenal at Old Trafford.
All hopes for the season now rest on the Europa League - does Amorim have the squad to win it?

I don't think we will sign Mbappe, I liked Mendy but it's not the end of the world if we don't sign him.
Few months back I said Fabinho and Silva are the 2 players I want most from Monaco and I will stick to it.
I keep seeing Rashford in so many lineups on here. There's no way he's going to be our first choice striker going in to next season.
Not unless we're making a push to consolidate sixth anyway.
Weird. He's not playing as striker in that formation.
Potentially looking at:
Ederson
Walker - Kompany - Stones - Mendy
Gundogan
B. Silva - De Bruyne - D. Silva - Sané
Aguero
Walker - Kompany - Stones - Mendy
Gundogan
B. Silva - De Bruyne - D. Silva - Sané

vs.
De Gea
Valencia - Bailly - Lindelof - (Linked)?
Herrera - Fabinho - Pogba
Mkhitaryan - Griezmann - Perisic
Gonna be some fiercely competitive derbies next season.Valencia - Bailly - Lindelof - (Linked)?
Herrera - Fabinho - Pogba
Mkhitaryan - Griezmann - Perisic
I think you're underestimating Fabinho's attacking strengths. He's more attack-minded than Matic.
Matic plays in a midfield two and I'm fairly confident we'll lineup with three in midfield most of the time - with Fabinho shielding, that gives more license to Herrera and/or Pogba to stitch attacks together. Think of Fabinho as the 'water carrier' - players like him are integral to the success of a team. They're the bridge between defence and attack. He can do the job perfectly.
The table doesn't lie we have serious lacked goals this season from our wide players and our Attacking mid hence why we are linked to Griezmann, Perisic etc.
We haven't been good enough but lacking top quality in areas like LB, RW and even CM with us being forced to play players like Fellaini and an aging Carrick who should be squad players, not starters.
Herrera is being head hunted by Barcelona's new manager, its not to sit him on the bench is it?
I'm not in a state of dilusion about our squad needs 5 players without a doubt because Moyes and LvG spent badly during their tenure here but Herrera stays and retains his starting spot as does Pogba, Valencia, De Gea, Bailey the players who have constantly performed.
Hopefully Rojo, Shaw and Ibrahimovic recover fully and we can go again only this time with players like Griezmann, Fabinho, Perisic, Keane etc.
What you fail to realise is we went unbeaten for a reason, we had one if the best defenses in the league for a reason. We also created plenty of chances but we just didn't take them we lacked goals and a depth that will be fixed.
It's amazing that so many people confuse bald with bold.
Anyway, Fabinho is only 23.
Please be true
Really hope these rumours are true. Would be a cracking signing and a massive upgrade on our starting 11 ahead of Carrick / Fellaini.
I see what you're saying, but the part about Barca's interest is misplaced, i said this in another thread, their transfer strategy has been all over the place the last few years, and players like Arda, Gomes, Alcacer, Digne, Vermaelen, who were supposed to be fighting for starting roles were found not to meet the required standard. There's no telling how Herrera would fare at Barca, especially as a La Liga winner like Arda has struggled to even make an impact.
Like I said, I dont doubt that Herrera retains his place. Fabinho-Herrera-Pogba will most likely be our starting 3 next season. But, out of those three, if we were looking to move up a level, who would be the one replaced? I would say Herrera, as (and you agree) someone like Verratti could come in, and instantly improve the lineup.
Getting Fabinho would be the most important step for our improvement in my opinion - even ahead of a potential Griezman arrival.
He's excactly what we need most and there are almost no players fitting this profile available. However, still don't trust this at all..

I think he'll play in a lot of games. Mourinho and his coaching staff love the guy. It's Lingard who'll miss out.
where is the video of him that beats all others I need to see this guy
Thought they would have moved to a bed by now.
Here I disagree, Herrera all round game is valuable when you have Pogba and Fabinho. He has the ability to support both players efficiently, I would only replace him with someone like Marchisio or Vidal.
Their most reliable ITK has already said he won't be.It would be a nice team if we could get:

Fabinho

Mkhitaryan Griezmann Perisic
Its called depth
I just find this hard to believe, why would Barca chase him when there are far better players out there? If we sign a midfielder, Herrera will struggle to get a game for us.
No they'll all play in midfeild 3.
Far better players like who?(who don't come from the world best teams)
The exact same was said about Rakitic. I agree that Herrera is overrated by many, but he's also vastly underrated by a few, weirdly by our own fans. Herrera has quite often this season been our best midfielder.
Midfield 3's exist you know..
Better at what though? There are lots of players who struggle in one system but excel in another. I have occasionally been critical of Herrera at Utd as he does have his limitations but I could actually imagine him being fantastic in a high-press tika taka side
It's strange because by the same token I think if you packed him off to an average side he would just look bang average
Depth is great and all, but having to bench one of our 4 best players doesn't sound great.
There's loads of areas in the first 11 where we could improve.
where is the video of him that beats all others I need to see this guy
That's a very good price as well if true.
It's easy, attack their left side and we're sorted or just dominate their midfield.
I really just can't see Mourinho playing Griezmann lone striker. Are these people the same ones saying he will ship out fellaini, when in reality he loves him? He will want a powerful striker, not the smallest lone striker in the league
Won't stop the doom and gloom merchants.
Canal+ can feck off after getting me excited about B.Silva.
Wouldn't mind him here. He can be a very decent backup for CM and RB positions. He can also be useful in a 4-3-3 if Jose wants to go extra defensive in game.
That said, I am not bothered if we miss out on him. 4-2-3-1 is the way to go for us, specially if we get Griezmann to play behind striker. He isn't playing over Pogba or Herrera in that formation.
Isn't he more box to box than anchor type midfielder anyway? Fellaini and Pereira can provide attacking option in midfield. We need someone more similar to Carrick.

No, he's a DM. Bakayoko is the box to box at Monaco.
It's not Canal+ who are reporting this.
No. Bakayoko plays the box to box role in their partnership. Have you watched him play?
He would strike me as a much more natural partner to Pogba in a balanced 4-2-3-1 than Herrera would be. If he is bought and we play that formation then I'd be very surprised if Herrera is favoured ahead of him.
The random twitter bloke seems like someone who has a good track record of Monaco transfers.That random twitter bloke and Canal+ is the only I've seen lately.
We should try and wrap this one up before someone come looking for Bakayoko and Mendy.
Monaco can't sell half their team.
