I don't know if it's deadwood when a lot of these players actually do perform at other clubs before or after their transfer to Utd.
Those guys I mentioned are trusted at other clubs not at Utd. There's something wrong at our club when you see Di Mario being a star for Real and PSG (discounting Argentina, even Messi looks lackluster there), Depay being a star for Lyon, PSV and Holland.
Fair enough on Falcao although he did regain form at Monaco
As for Smalling he was never liked, from what I've read in Rome they love him and it shows on the pitch.
If Di Maria didn't want to be here he shouldn't have signed, it's ridiculous, he is a grown man.
