No way a club like utd can go in to a season with that midfield. That's very weak.
 
To be honest it makes a lot of sense for Shoretire and Fernandez to go on loan. Both are in positions where we're absolutely stacked currently. Suspect that Williams and Jones staying behind is code for them leaving shortly, along with Perreira

The state of our midfield options... Even the club know we're short of numbers there - including Amad and Pellistri, yet the other wingers are classed as forwards.
 
Our squad is absolutely terrible if you look at that. And only Ronaldo is missing.....
Agreed, looks awful... It's what happens though when you lose 7 (including Greenwood) players and only bring in Malacia.

Should look better once we hopefully add Martinez, Eriksen, De Jong, new forward (Antony).
 
Would have liked to see Bernard/Mengi and Galbraith on the plane. Other than that, no complaints really but our squad needs some new midfielders/attackers ASAP.
 
Our squad is ridiculously average without new signings to replace the players that have left.

When was the last time united didn’t have a recognized striker in the squad?

That's a shocking midfield and attack. Not a hope of us getting top 4 without 4/5 more signings.

Yeah its really poor. We've not replaced a single player that left on a free out of Pogba, Mata, matic, cavani, lingard.
 
Yup! Matic, Mata and Lee grant were our MVPs!

Cavani, Pogba, Ronaldo, Matic and Greenwood.

Maybe not all MVPs but their leaving is making the squad look worse with obvious holes in it whether people admit it or not.
 
Liverpool will take five former players on tour with them to the Far East in order to perform media duties for the club.

According to The Athletic, Sami Hyypia, Luis Garcia, Vladimir Smicer, Jose Enrique and Jason McAteer will all join Liverpool’s tour next week.

The former stars are reportedly set to ‘satisfy the demands of sponsors’ in providing meet-and-greet opportunites.

The move is seen as a way of affording Jurgen Klopp’s players more time to rest during the trip. The five retired pros will take the place of Klopp’s current stars in performing duties away from the pitch.

What a cnut. Want to meet their favourite players, only to be shoved this bag of shite instead.

While I agree this is well below the standard we need, in midfield we aren't that much weaker than last season considering Matic could only play once per week and Pogba was in and out of the team for various reasons. We are still in need of two CMs in my opinion though.

Even though Martial and Rashford have proved they can score in the past I'm a little worried about this after their form last season. If they regain form and confidence they could be good for us but I'm really worried where the goals will come from without Ronaldo
 
Our midfield and forwards are average

Side note Why is Jones on a pre seaoson training regime I mean he never plays and had the whole summer off. Was he injured towards the end of the season or what ?

Looking forward to seeing this Frederico Rodrigues fella

It doesn’t matter what the squad looks like on paper.

Greenwood left mid last season, Ronaldo is still here for what its worth.
No reason why our youngsters wouldn’t be able to contribute more than the players that left did last season, comfortably too.
Mata, Cavani, Pogba, Matic, contributed next to feck all last season.
