A lot has been said about the poo poo show that is utd. I’m not here to delve into it we all know it is what it is. That being said, the change required to this team isn’t all that drastic according to me, they need to trade up in 4/5 players to get this starting 11 to compete again. let me explain De Gea – needs to be kept. Even if he made a few mistakes towards the end of this season, the team was a shambles anyway and this man has single handily won us more games in the past 3 years than any out field player. Shaw – start him at left back next season, hope he stays injury free. Lindelof – Seems to be a player in there somewhere, he deserves another season as the starting CB. New CB – ok so the options here are Koulibaly (too expensive) Varane (not happening) Godin(gone to italy) Maguire (possible) Alderwield (possible) Skrinar(possible). Seems to be an option of going for youth or experience. I would say youth, so go with Maguire New RB – Dalot is good but he will need support, Wan Bissaka is a great option here. CM – Pogba – keep him. He is the highest scorer and the fulcrum of the team going forward, yes he switches off, but people have to allow for that, look at the teams where he was successful and compare the midfielders he had around him. Pirlo Vidal marchisio (Juve) kante matuidi (france) in Manchester the only good midfield support he has had is Herrera who is no longer there. Getting the best out of pogba means getting good midfielders around him. CM – options: Milinkovic Savic(expensive), Ndombele(expensive), Bruno Fernandez(expensive), Witsel(available), Parejo(available), Ndidi(available), Rabiot(available), (any of the first 3 would be excellent long term additions. I think Witsel would do a good job stabilising the midfield for a year or two, Rabiot would bring in elite experience but he would probably hold out for a better club, Parejo has proven himself this season, or maybe Ndidi of Everton to add bite to the midfield) CM – Rotate Mctominay and Fred LW – Martial or youth player RW – options: Jadon Sancho(expensive), Jao Felix(expensive), David Neres (available) Hriving Lozano(available) Nicolas Pepe (available). Here I would really like to see us go for Neres or Lozano. I know what people say about players who come from the Eredevisie and not being able to cope with the premier league, but these two players are quick, skilful, and brave and I think would work well with rashford and martial. CF: Rashford Get rid of: Sanchez (at any cost) Young (at any cost) Lingard(sell to Newcastle of Everton) Matic, Jones, Darmian. Keep Lukaku and Mata for another season. So the key targets should be as follows: Maguire, Wan Bissaka, Savic, Neres. Those are my thoughts at least. I tend to believe there is a good core group of players already available at the club as well as good young prospects coming through the academy (Gomes, Garner, Chong etc). Just need to add 4 new players to the starting line up and things could look up earlier than expected if all pieces are put in place soon enough. We don’t need to break the wheel, just tweak it. KC (dreaming of a new midfield of Savic – Pogba – Ndombele)

If long range goals were worth double but no-one mentioned it until after the season was over

Saw an advert today looking for writers for a football league blog. The only requirement was that you churn out 5 articles a day, every day. The content, its length or its quality didn't really matter. It's all about headlines, clicks and ads.

At least every single reply to that tweet is a different flavour of mockery, although any conversation is probably good conversation as far as brand marketers and advertisers and social media engagement and every other combination of words I despise are concerned

Genuinely trying to think of what "long range" goals we've even scored this season. Salah v Chelsea is the obvious one but... it's not as if we've been know for scoring screamers this season? What I'm saying is this is loving weird.

If it wasn't complete nonsense of the worst kind, of course.

I said we should sell Kane for £150m+ and re invest ito the squad and I still stand by that you kiddy fiddling oval office. Funny how you have to attack my post history just because I made you feel stupid about your VAR statement. Grow up you twat, the last thing I want is this place becoming a bitter embarrassing cringe fest like certain other forums. ---------------------- The big difference between liverpool and our team is that they have fit black players but we have asian.
