Only thing i'd change is that Rooney probably would play left, Di Maria right. Kinda like Robben/Ribery does it, winger able to cut in while FBs stretch the field wide and run past the winger to attempt crosses and stretch the defense.

And as i wrote in another post here: I think LvG will work towards playing 4-3-3, but it'd most likely be too many changes to cope with in one summer, why i think he'll play the 3-5-2 to utilize what we currently have, while he brings in players that he knows will fit his style of play moving forward.

Yep, didn't think of that!

And fully agree with your second paragraph.

In regards to @RedBistro's team, it's extremely unbalanced. Cuadrado at right back (??) with only 2 midfielders, neither of which is a holding player and Rooney playing out wide? Doesn't do it for me.

Thing is, we're just not going to sign Di Maria so there's not much point shoe-horning him into potential lineups.

I was trying to squeeze all 4 names into a team, didn't say it would work ;) Cuadrado can play RB, RWB, RM and Striker/Forward AFAIK.

I think Di Maria is almost on a par with Cavani rumours at this stage to be honest, mainly because I can't see where we put him. The only thing is I'd love to see him join and find a place for him, Cavani? Meh!

One bad season and people start talking like we are nothing. Cuadrado will reject the chance to play at United to stay at Fiorentina :lol:

Who the feck is this moron anyway?

We wouldn't be bidding on a player who would reject us. You put out feelers first to ensure they'd be happy to actually join. So I think his statement is garbage considering how far along we seem to be in terms of the Cuadrado bid.

As far as I'm aware, Cuadrado is a winger. People have been suggesting he could play right wing back but I have no reason to think he is or has ever been played as a right back?

This.

'...owner of a place where Cuadrado always has his breakfast.' Bloody hell. Possibly the worst source I've ever seen. Quite literally.

He has actually played full back too, but yes he is predominantly a winger
 
Honestly people should take a fecking look before rushing in to post people's tweets.
 
Just for the record, you can bet your bottom dollar that if it was a choice between joining us or staying at Fiorentina, he'd be a United player pretty sharpish.

He is a winger, but could potentially play as a rwb or rb. Barca want him to replace Alves.
 
Someone called BarcaChief posts what could quite easily be nonsense and people start saying "feck Cuadrado". :lol:

Achem! http://www.whoscored.com/Players/44868/

Where hasn't he played would almost be an easier question to answer.

He's played right wing back for about 2 seasons Walsh. He's only recently moved to right forward as Fiorentina changed their formation (since doing so his goal/assist ratio has gone up hugely.

I didn't doubt that he can/has played wing back. I was originally questioning whether we'd ever consider using him as a right back in a back four, which I don't think we would!
 


I actually tried to google him, when you do, the tweets from BarcaChief appears on the 2nd page :lol::lol::lol:

Of course it is garbage. It is most probably made up by the BarcaChief moron. Most players would walk to United if they were given the chance to sign for us at the age of 26.

To be fair, it would be a pretty clever way to increase your customer base. Would probably only work or a day or two, though, after which people would have caught on that you're full of crap.
