You are a legend ATW.

Or have you created a thread for every football manager just in case?

From what I've read in the last 24 hours, Fergie has finally come round to the idea of Mourinho. I think the uninspiring 1-0 over Villa and Van Gaal claiming that Villa were defensively well-organised did it for him.

I think on top of that Van Gaal plays too negatively. You can be sat behind the goal there watching channels open up with good off the ball runs but nobody risking making a run into the channel. Very frustrating.

good question!

taking Roonster out of the equation next 2 top scorers are Martial and Rashford...

not sure who we would buy is the problem - either or both could waste £100 million on nowt...

maybe if we get the choosen one we can poach Hazard from Chelski - maybe

If that £27m bid from China is true, get him sold and have Zlat with Martial and Rashford.

The key thing is the manager though. What you need to think is this; if we've got £200m to spend this summer (allowing for £50-£80m from sales), then who would you rather spends it, Jose or Van Gaal?

To be honest that was an unsaid part of my post...

although I think Rooney may still have a decent season left in him if the rest of the team start to play well....

the new Scholes I reckon

or he may just tank and we can sell him to someone for stoopid money

Completely agree - the last thing UTD need right now is an aging superstar who expects the team to revolve around him.

But we shall see.

I've actually been enjoying this season because there are no teams that I despise so much that they make me froth at the mouth (apart from Spurs, obviously).

Looks like that's about to change

But, Zlatan at, what 35? Seriously? Don't think he's exactly been tested playing in the French league. Won't cut the mustard over here IMO.
