re: Manchester United 2014/15 Season Long Thread : Hitting the Reset Button

I was gone all weekend but I heard we looked good again and lil keano did some work

Yah, it certainly wasn't the best game. Rooney and Mata had individual moments of brilliance, but other than that it was a pretty lackluster performance.

So LvG is making Luke Shaw train alone bc he is not fit enough to be with the first team.

I watched his interview with sky this morning before work. O man dis gon be good.

New Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal insists he will not buy players just for the sake of it.

The Dutchman adds that is he yet to fully assess his new squad of players and won’t be rushed into making changes.

For the opening two matches of their pre-season north American Tour, van Gaal says he opted for a system best suited to the players at his disposal – which is why wingbacks played a prominent role against LA Galaxy and Roma.

Talking about his squad, van Gaal said: “I don’t buy players for the sake of it. I buy players to improve my selection.

“First, I must see what I need in all the positions from the system we shall play and, at this moment, I don’t know for sure.”

Anyone get an email about their orders from the United Shop shipping?

Im sure ill get mine before everyone else does but I have not heard anything. I think the white top will actually look good b/c the chevy logo doesn't take away from the color scheme.

Wish he did sky but will probably end up on BT once their coverage starts next year. Going to be interesting what sky does with its 5 fricking channels now.

Yeah, I read the plan was for him to do CL for BT when they start next year.

Vidal isn't coming. He is set to hold talks with Juventus on his future in the next couple of days. Marotta came out yesterday and said Juventus won't sell unless Vidal puts in for a transfer. Sounds like it's headed toward a new deal for Vidal.

I'm tired of all the speculation. Hopefully, we will get on a new CM soon.

Just landed in DC. Spotted a few other United jerseys on the flight from Atlanta.

Let's put up another touchdown tonight, Devils.

Enjoy my home town bro, wish I was there to show you around. I got a few friends going to the game tonight. Are you staying in DC proper or what? How you getting to the game?

It breaks my heart, but I'm officially out on Kagawa too. Send him back to Dortmund with cash and bring us Hummels. He's too valuable an asset to have as a third choice number 10.

The papers today saying LVG is out on Kagawa too. I was hoping he could find another role in central midfield but if the papers are right it won't happen.

I will say that if we are going to sell Fellaini and Kagawa, along with Ando and possibly Cleverley, we will probably need to add a couple of CMs this summer as replacement.
