I reckon united will knock liverpool out of the top 4.
It's criminal to suggest that Utd won't make top 4: they have no European distraction. LVG will play a 5-3-2, OT will become the fortress it used to be, RVP will be even better, Fellaini will be just as pants, and Utd will finish in the top 3.

First sport team in UK to have 4 million followers on twitter. Definitely irrefutable evidence there that we're the biggest sporting team in UK.

absolute nonsense, plays this atm for Holland for the first time due to injuries and a severe imbalance in attacking/defensive quality.

he will play 4-2-3-1 or some similar variant thereof

5-3-2 when you have 3 CBs in the squad? Lol.

Apart from RVP, Mata, Rooney, De Gea and Rafael Uniteds squad is dire. And even then you can't play the first 3 at once without a massive imbalance. :lol:

And to Kruz, no I don't think they will. Herrera is decent, but nothing special, Shaw is one for the future but too raw right now. And apart from that they've not changed anything except their star players are a year older. LVG is a good manager but not the second coming of Jesus like some United fans think he is. He's very controversial and outspoken which could easily backfire just as much as it could work.

Lool, Arsenal fans own the internet. Anyone who says anything sideways about us has gooners in their mentions for days! I almost feel sorry for them!

Yeah this. Honestly not scared of United at all. They have less games but in reality their defence needs to be sorted, their midfield is still atrocious even with the herrera signing.

LVG depends anyway, we all remember his first time at Barca was a success but the second time he left them a few points above the relegation zone by January.

You're right. Arsenal are the best club in the world <3
They own English football and it is their inalienable right to win everything, anything other than that is down to a conspiracy, like Liverpool not winning their PL title.

Yup, he'll probably go and do 4-4-1-1 anyway. Looking at his bayern days and even at holland, he is a fan of fast wingers, so rather than play Mata on the right he'll play him in the middle, same with Kags.
Hope we win the league or the champions league this year the FA cup is all well and good but let's be honest it's a bit of a Mickey Mouse cup. European success would be special but I think I'd rather win the league. With our current transfer activity and reported targets it's unlikely though

You know Sam Wallace the Journalist for the Independent. I remember when AVB's Tottenham side beat us back 2012/13 season. He made an article saying we're finished. Still to this day Arsenal fans are still in his mentions about an article he wrote a year ago :lol:.

Yeah LVG's a weird one he tends to do well in his first season then the other season don't turn out so well. 2009-10 he did well finish the season with the double. Next season he was not very good and Bayern ended up finishing 3rd. So it'll be interesting to see how he'll be at Man Utd.

You got a problem with my post brah?


Just wanted someone to explain the diagram comparing the 2 strikers. However you want to dress it up Giroud really isn't good enough to lead the line for a title challenging club. You NEED a striker, it's really that simple. It's like when we bought Obertan the season after Ronaldo left. If Giroud is leading the line you finish 4th. Quote me if you like.

I've read in multiple places now that we're closing in on a "triple swoop" of Bender, Sanchez & Debuchy. £60m

Imagine :O

Meh, 60m is fair enough, decent players.
I assume it's most of your budget though (don't you have about 100m?).
So you better hope they hit the ground running if you got them.

And still no striker. Lul.

Alexis Sanchez is pretty much a done deal considering Juventus have withdrew any interest they initially had (they were never going to meet asking price/personal terms so not sure why they even bothered).
