If Welbeck is leaving then we are 100% making a signing. If Di Maria and Welbeck are fighting for the same spot in the team i know who i`d pick and in an instant

Di Maria is obviously better but even if we got him we'd still need squad depth. As it stands, Januzaj and Welbeck are our two best wingers (in my opinion). I'd far rather sell Young than Welbeck.
 
If we lose Welbeck a stellar forward/winger has to be on the way in, don't they? Given that Hernandez has definitely been told he can leave as well.

Likely LVG thinks of Welbeck as more of a winger than a striker anyway.
If that's the case his work on the wings is head and shoulders above the others not named Adnan
 
So not only have we had a big failure of a summer in bringing players in, we're willing to let one of the our most versatile forwards leave the club? One who offers something very few in the team can? It's so bizarre, but it'd sum us up the past two years perfectly.
 
Genuinely gutted about this. No chance should we be selling him to Arsenal especially.
 
So after he was very good in the preseason, he got injured and now LVG wants to get rid of him. I dont believe that nor do I want to believe it.
 
If Chicha and he both leave, we're signing a striker. That's our marquee signing.

I'm not sure. If we were to switch to 433 or 4321 we would only be playing with one out and out striker. Between RVP, Rooney and Wilson I reckon that should be sufficient cover especially as we have no European football this season. If we were stuck Januzaj can also play up there.
 
Just signed up and paid £10 to get on the RI forum, is anyone a member here? I'm not looking to spread what's on there but I haven't got any log in details from them?!

I'm just a desperate Muppet looking for a fix and heard that was something good on there!

Yep. Even if we stick to 3-5-2, there will be 4 players competing for 2 spots up top - Januzaj, Wilson, RvP and Rooney, which is healthy and supports the claims of Van Gaal wanting to work with a smaller group of players. The question is whether we'd be able to score goals if Van Persie or Rooney get injured.

I don't want Welbeck to leave, though. It's strange that Van Gaal is ready to let him go, as I thought he'd be a player Van Gaal would appreciate and improve.
 
If we sell Welbeck I'll be fuming. If we sell Welbeck and then don't buy any other attacking players, I'll hit the fecking roof.

From what I'm seeing, it might be the case that Welbeck wants to leave.
 
I don't think we will let both Welbeck and Chica leave in the same window, especially if we are going to be playing 2 up top. If one of Welbeck or Chica leaves, then Im guessing Wilson gets promoted which is also good.
 
It's odd though, I'd have thought Welbeck would play quite regularly this year. Letting good and promising academy players leave just doesn't sound like a United thing to do.
 
Well this is shitty, hoping for good news when I logged on and instead it looks like Welbeck is off, I can only imagine if both Chich and Danny leave that we are switching to 4-3-3 and in Danny's case he must want to go.

If its true (and it seems so) suggests we wont be playing that system.

Plus I would think he will use Wilson a fair bit.
