United are probably going to sell Rafael.

Why can't he get a game for United this season. He's more of a true RB than Valencia.


I'm still a fan of Rafael, as was SAF. I hate he can't even make the bench for some games when healthy. However, his positional awareness is, and has always been, poor. And LvG's philosophy relies heavily on positional awareness. So I get why he has been deemed not to fit in.

The Pogba rat race will be interesting this summer. I know United would love to splash the cash to get him back if we could. There is apparently strong in doing that, so we'll join the rest of the world in courting him.

I don't see United pulling the trigger on Falcao. The rumored 45M pound option is a lot of money for a player who hasn't produced this season amid doubts he will never fully recover from injury to hit his previous heights. I think United will be in for a right back, center back, striker (if, no Falcao), and midfielder (yeah, so everything) this summer. We'll also see a few more players move on (Rafael, Evans should make that list). The decision on Nani will be interesting, considering he seems to have found form for Sporting Lisbon.

Also, I'm still paranoid that RM will come in for DDG this summer. He's so damn good, I'd hate above anything else to lose him. We'd be in sixth or seventh in the table at this point without him.

Agreed with Rafael. He's the type of player that shows moments of thinking he could easily be a great player, then he will try and go through three defenders not track back on defense fast enough and give up a goal.

I'm one of the few Utd. fans that don't think we need a new midfielder. If need be we can drop Rooney to mid field (if he doesn't threaten to leave).
Blind, Di Maria, Mata, Fellini, Januzaj, Herrera, Young, Valencia (if need be), Phil Jones (if need be) is a pretty amazing mid field.

We need to drop Falcoa and RVP (while we can still get something for him) and go after one or two more strikers. Hopefully Wilson will see more PT next season.

It would be stupid to sell De Gea. I have no Idea why Valdev came in, but unless its Ronoldo or Messi any move we make won't be worth it in my book.
