Carrick is 188cm, Fellaini is 191cm, while Fred is only 169cm. I am sure Mourinho will bring in one more tall and strong guy to play his favourite game plan.

Gary Neville's Two Weeks had pups and little Soon was born. He's the image of his daddy.
Wouldn't mind Leganes' Gabriel.
The film company Utd use to film player unveilings have been booked to go to Utd on Monday.
I imagine it'll be Fred announced Monday night or Tuesday.

There's no way Fellaini is only 3cm taller than Carrick...but generally agree
Dalot and Griezmann too mate!
We need more information on this. Where did you read that?
Dude, I love you. A big fan of Gabriel Pires myself.
Is medical soon the next he's signing in 48 hours?
Maybe but I don't see why we shouldn"t invest more in our midfield if a top class creative midfielder is available in the market. If not, yes, a capable and less expensive midfielder should be brought in.
Friend of mine works for the film company.
I know this sounds like typical ITK nonsense but the only other time i've posted anything like this was when the same guy told me on the Saturday that we'd be announcing Pogba early next week because he'd been booked to go and do the filming. And he was totally right.
He doesn't know who the player is but I'm guessing it's Fred since most of the media seem to be saying it's done.
Kohler sleeve sponsorship and Griezmann announcement coming Monday people
Or announcement of new contract for Fellaini...
Dalot
Paris United(pretty reliable with PSG related news) has said that PSG has made a bid worth 40 million € for Fred.
They are nothing. GDM is adamant that fred to utd is done.
Paris United have rarely got a news wrong. GDM's reputation will take a hit if he doesn't join us now.
Bollocks
Yes and they also said that they can't compete with United and City's bid and Shakthar's president demands more than 40m euros. Why the feck are you spreading incomplete news when whole of the update was written in one post?
Paris United were great for one summer, but has been wrong on a lot of Utd related stuff since then. It's far from gospel now.
I hear they picked Trump over Hillary as well.
Official account of Paul the octopus.
What’s their take on the Loch Ness Monster?
Fixed for you.
So they asking for more money now?
Fabrizio Romano we are waiting....
Just read an article that popped up on my phone saying that Shakhtar have upped the price at the last minute and it's leaving the deal hanging in the balance. Apparently they now want £61 mill. Tbh I thought there was a release clause, but I may be wrong.
If this turns out to be true then it's starting to look like Di Marzio has massively jumped the gun.

I doubt there would be so much transparency from the player's side if the fee was yet to be agreed. Fred himself is out there acting like a United player on social media.
What was the source of your article?
Aurier is really tearing it up at right back for us isn't he.
I just double checked where the article had come from and it was the Daily Express (I thought it was MEN), so probably a load of rubbish and not worth even linking the article.
Must be an NHS one.
Bayern are looking to offload Thiago. It's a no brainer. The guy would be a phenomenal and more dynamic No. 6 for us and he's coming into his prime at 27. He will come at the cost of 52m
Pogba ------- Fred
----- Thiago ------
It makes no sense to spend 100m+ on Milinkovic Savic when we already have Pogba.
Fred (43m)
Thiago (52m)
Dalot (17m)
Bale (85m)??? I wouldn't go for him but get Douglas Costa for around 50m+
Sandro (40m)
Forgetting about our best midfielder past year
No offense to Matic but he isn't all that dynamic and is one of the reasons for our slow transition from midfield to attack.
Thought same things, I'd like to have DLP like Carrick instead of Matic, he was the reason that connected midfield and attacks very well, we created a lot of chances with him starting the majority of our games in the league last season. We seem to be more regressed in the chance creation and reduced by half compared to last season and conceded nearly doubled shots on target than last season. On-form Herrera is better than Matic as he was all over pitch often and more space to cover than Matic.
Yup which is why I think Thiago could provide that sort of Carrickesque deep lying playmaker sort of ability with more flair and being more agile. If we could get Douglas Costa and Thiago from Bayern, that would immensely improve the team along with Fred and new fullbacks.
If we play 3 midfield, Matic surely must be replaced by Fred deeper with the likes of Kroos or Thiago type behind Pogba in an advanced position and free roam. New fullback must be comfortable on balls as we need them to cover space and tuck in midfield to protect at back alongside with DM so Pogba and Thiago can cause chaos in a 2-3-5 formation when is in attacking mode.
