Toli 977 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 United probably having one of the best midfield, if not the best in the league. Carrick, Herrera, Schneiderlin, Schweinsteiger. Could even count Mata too if they play 4-3-3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Judging by their two recent aquasitions, LVG won't be changing his possession for the sake of it then hoofball if we don't score anytime soon.Morgan and Bastian pivot will be solid but has next to no creativity in there.Will be interesting what happens at United this season, I think they gave LVG a 3 year plan of get top 4, make a credible title challenge then win the league in the 3rd season.

Schweinsteiger is certainly a creative midfielder, hes not just an enforcer/ball winner, hes a complete player. Surprised Bayern actually let him go that easily. You throw in Herrera and all of a sudden that MF 3 looks quite class and thats without considering Carrick being the glue. Quite a complete midfield whatever they pick, Schweinsteiger, all round midfield player, Schneiderlin/Carrick more defensive minded but good with the ball and Herrera is also quite rounded but more offensive and able to score goals and make assists. I would of taken Schweinsteiger here if we could of gotten him. I know it was a year ago but his world cup final performance was out of this world for me. Hes top class.

lucio 5,418 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Mourinho just missed his perfect player , damn we gotta wake up soon or be blown away.Last 4 champions failed to retain due to inadequate summer recruitment. If the msnagers attitude to the market and next season is "nobody is better than ivanovic" , I have little hope. Still time to change of course , but I'm scared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Skipper 20,609 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Most weeks two at most will play, Rooney and Fellani are untouchable in LVGs system.I'm not so sure the latter is now with the arrivals of both Schneiderlin and Schweinsteiger.

Pizy 18,994 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Most weeks two at most will play, Rooney and Fellani are untouchable in LVGs system.Fellaini is definitely not untouchable. He was only used out of necessity last season, really, because their forward players were so shit and Fellaini is great when Ashley Young is smacking in 50 crosses a game.Now they have proper, top class midfielders and will play Rooney in his proper position up top as well as bringing in another striker. I doubt we'll see too much of Fellaini at all in their first XI. He'll be a "plan b" and get the odd cup game.-----Di Maria------Rooney------Mata--------------------------Herrera-----------------------------Schneiderlin---Schweinsteiger--------Shaw-------New CB-------Smalling------Darmian-----------------------Keeper-----------------------Depay and Young as other wide options. They have a potentially fantastic squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUB: Valdes, Jones, Rojo, Herrera, Fellaini, Young, New CF. Plus the likes of Valencia, James Wilson, Rafael, Carrick when he's back... They're building a very decent squad. Depending on their final signings they can definitely make a decent push for the title. PL is looking very exciting next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanna see us be a dominant side in the middle of the park. Just can't happen in the biggest games against the best opponents because Fabregas isn't mobile or athletic enough. He gets exposed when he's up against athletic and top class midfielders (like Verratti). That's why we tend to play Ramires in those games but he isn't a top quality footballer.It's why I hoped we'd have been in for a Schniederlin or Vidal.
