Manchester United FC Thread

Okay then

 

I don't see how it's arguable that Chelsea have done much better out of it than Utd.

 

Tell that to all the Chelsea fans who were furious about his leaving. He was loved there... you don't get player of the season two years in a row without being a class act and he's more than justified his transfer fee afaic

 

That's insane for a defensive midfielder

 

That site's in Euros though which is the same as you said before

 

Mata was worth signing up when we did. We clearly have the money to throw around. The problem with Mata is that to function properly he requires the rest of the team to be built around him. I think going forward it will be hard to fit Mata in the team. He just isn't versatile enough.

 

The fact he's fitted in so perfectly on that right hand side when realistically that's his 3rd position would beg to differ though.

I think in time as our football gets more pretty Fellaini will be phased out which leaves that LCM position to be filled. In it's current state the two players in our squad best suited to that role in a "keep it on the ground" style of play would be Mata or Di Maria

 

Fellaini is the sort of player you want to bring on in the last 20. He gives the option to play in a different style so I think it is worth keeping him around.

 

Shame that De Gea had to go off injured in his final game at OT
