You think Zaha will push Valencia for that spot?

I'm clamoring to see Kagawa this season. I think he's going to be a major standout.

Yep. And let's not forget about Nani.

Sweet baby Jesus, let us get Fellaini.

I do, Zaha is going to be special, but I think Valencia will still be our go to RW for the big fixtures.

I expect to see A LOT of Zaha this year though.

WTF even happened with Nani. He was fully fit but SAF still wouldnt use him (much). I expected him to move on tbh.

Nani is an elite athlete that's prone to making boneheaded mistakes.

I wouldn't be dissapointed if we parted ways.

Nani is either on or off. He seems to not have mediocre games. He played some games last season where he did some bonehead stuff. This went on for a string of 3 or 4 fixtures if I remember correctly. SAF got fed up with it and basically benched him for the remainder of the season.

ETA: I will add that when he is on, he is a very dangerous player that can assist and score from the wing. There have also been interviews from the team and he is apparently far an away the fastest player on the team (last season at least).

Sell him to a rich club in Mother Russia, turn that into another Zaha.

I know they were interested at some point, not sure if they still are.

Where does Cleverly fit into this midfield?
3rd choice behind Kagawa and Carrick?

while Kagawa is capable of playing CM, I think he's destined to be a winger or play as a CAM in the 4-2-3-1, or underneath van Persie in the 4-4-1-1.

If United fail to sign another CM, Cleverely, Kagawa, and Carrick will likely all be starters.

Which explains the need for a Fellaini (or a Cesc, but let's be real).

Guardian says we've opened up negotiations with Everton for Fellaini.

You know, I was thinking about that the other day. That is odd to me.

not sure he and carrick pair well, personally. fellaini probably a little more so.

on rooney, i thought earlier in the summer Moyes said he was second string striker behind RvP and second string no. 10 behind Kagawa.

I think they pair well, actually. Carrick isn't a great tackler but he's a good passer and can control tempo. Goose is a phenomenal tackler and he's actually an underrated passer.
