I think you'll find, as the season progresses, that Schweinsteiger will be not be playing as many games as Carrick and Schneiderlin. At least that is how I see it panning out.

Fekir? More like Fekov
Fekir was the best player in Ligue 1 last season IMO and will go on to big things, I certainly hope we are keeping an eye on him for next summer as I doubt he'll move now with the Euros coming up.
Mostly on the premise that DiMaria won't be here next season. No matter how good Bastian is or has been he just isn't a kovacic type player and when asked to play as the furthest man forward in a midfield 3, the croat would do a better job.
I'm still shocked that so many don't rate Pedro.
Because of the Bastien dressing down article on sky no doubt for his last cameo performance...Nuts!
Considering we've shown no intention of playing Januzaj in the midfield 3 and DiMaria is likely leaving, we're gonna need a player like him. Schweinsteiger and Schneiderlin aren't going to be getting that job done. Neither will Herrera really.
Yup, not convinced that Mata is going to give us all we need In that wide playmaker role.
Amazed how many ask who he is, yet so many people want Lacazette.
It might be because he looks like his younger better looking brother but his running style reminds me a lot of Suarez, all that hustle and bustle, would suit our pressing from the front.
Its unbelievable. Its one thing to not want him but to call him average or 'below us' is amazing.
Me too, I hope we get him as I think a few will be pleasantly surprised. He's exactly what we need in this system.
I'm fully in the Pedro camp. I will be utterly gutted if we don't sign him now. I can see him scoring goals galore and helping us lift the trophy come may.
No, I don't like his antics, but I do think he's a mediocre football player. If he signs, I hope I'm wrong.
I think those who are underrating Pedro are doing so sorely because his profile isnt "marquee" enough or they have not seen him play. He will instantly become one of our best players and our best winger once he gets here. I cant wait to see him light up OT next season.
Well he isn't mediocre, that's a fact.
It's not a fact, it's an opinion.
It's a correct opinion. I don't think you fully understand what mediocre means.
Having reservations regarding Pedro coming to United, that's fair game. But footballers that have played over 300 games (scoring over 100 goals) at a club side as good as Barcelona aren't mediocre.
Have to admit, I'm growing to like the idea of this signing. Still not sure whether I'd have Pedro over Di Maria though.
2014 Di Maria or 2015 Di Maria?
Are you insinuating that Pedro is mediocre? That is crazy
Mediocre = Average. An average footballer wouldn't be able to play in a team people consider the best ever.

That's the thing, I'm not sure which Di Maria we'll get next season.
5 domestic titles, 3 european cups, a world cup and euros by age 27 
It will be silly to pass up on him at 22m. We will have two goal scoring wingers. Of course would prefer Bale, Reus or Griezmann, but remains to be seen if the are obtainable
.......Rooney......
Depay..Mata..Pedro
He is also two footed, so lots of interchanging with Depay, if Mata can get back to his Chelsea days, that front 4 will have so much goals in it.

To be fair he wouldn't be competing with TBT.
what facet of Pedro's game is average @hebegebe ?
It's a fact. A player who has played an important role for the most successful club side of this era is not mediocre.
Your right, TBT is in a league of his own
There's this belief on the caf, which is pretty prevalent, hopefully fuelled by bias, that a fair portion of barca's team that has dominated over the course of the last decade, was somehow made to look great despite being just okay.
He hasn't played an important role, he's a squad player at best, look beyond the Wikipedia stats and you will see he's bang average, add to that his play-acting and diving and you have a player that will get eaten alive in the Premier league.
True. He is not a world beater who wins you games on his own but how many players outside of the unbuyable Messi, Ronaldo, Robben, Neymar, Bale, Hazard and Müller can give you guaranteed double digit amount of goals with a handful of assist from wide while working like prime Park in defense and possessing good pace, technique and game intelligence? I get it when people want bigger names but Pedro is not "not good enough for United". He's a better winger than Young, Valencia, Januzay or Mata, comfortably.
Insane how people suggest that Pedro at 28 is a bit old yet we should keep Di Maria because he can get better - there's 6 months between them.
Yeah, I can never see him getting past Konchesky, Williamson or Taylor. PL defending will murder him. He should retire.
What the hell is wrong with people? This is a player who made our defence look silly in CL final. He has scored against the strongest teams on planet.
If Pedro is bang average, then I hate to think what the rest of our wingers our.
You're talking shite.
PL proven.
