Man Utd XVI: Quest of the Title - Return to winning way.

[vengels]

This Rojo is a walking timebomb..
God knows when he will do smth silly..

Just watched the pre match press conference.. LVG didn't sound and appear as confident as last week.. He was very relaxed in his seat last week but not this week.. Guess he is feeling the pressure..

Rumors United is gonna sell Welbeck.. Hope he doesn't go.. United should just break the bank and sign both Di Maria and Khedira.. But without selling any players I think it's difficult to sign these two players from Madrid..

looks like he not buying...

seriously I don't think its easy to persuade World Cup winners / finalists to switch from a decima-winning team into one where Europe competition is limited to visiting Swansea in Wales

Yeah... he wanted to concentrate in grooming our new 19 yr old no.11 stating if he sign di maria will affect Adnan Januzaj growth ... hmm... looks like he already have plans after he fail to get what he wanted in the transfer market.

Louis van Gaal explains United's injury problems

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has provided an update on the list of injuries at the club, saying he could have as many as seven players missing for the Reds' trip to Sunderland.
While the return of Robin van Persie and Antonio Valencia will be a welcome boost for the Dutch coach after the opening-day defeat to Swansea, knocks to midfielders Marouane Fellaini and Ander Herrera have given van Gaal another selection headache.

"We have seven injuries, so that is a lot," he said. "In my career as a trainer-coach, we've never had seven injuries in my selection, and the last game it was nine, so we are progressing! But okay, seven injuries, plus Fellaini who has an ankle problem, so we'll have to wait and see because [on Saturday] he'll have a scan. It is always better to do that after two or three days and not at once. I cannot say anything about that - but he is injured, yes.

"Herrera is also injured, so we have four midfielders out. [Michael] Carrick, Herrera, Fellaini and [Jesse] Lingard. So we are a little bit thin in midfield and it's a problem that I have. I already explained at the last press conference that it is very difficult when you have a trip to the United States to be prepared for the season.

"[Jonny] Evans has recovered and trained today for the first time, so he's not available for selection yet. Valencia is back. With Herrera - it is too early to say because it happened [on Thursday] in the training session and it's still too early for him to have a scan. The same thing as Fellaini."

Boss only mention injured midfielders


Think LVG is trying to say not to expect too much from tomorrow's match... and Rojo's work permit still not available yet.

hopefully he won't be sacked as quickly as Moyes even if the results are equally dismal

Man Utd make second bid for Vidal as they look to lower price tag with player swap deal


Manchester United have been heavily linked with a move for Vidal all summer, with new boss Louis van Gaal eager to bring the Chilean ace to the Premier League.

And new reports claim United have offered Juve £32m and a player swap deal for the playmaker.

It is understood the player in question is neither Mexican striker Javier Hernandez or England international Danny Welbeck.

Van Gaal has told Welbeck that he can leave United which has sparked interesst from other clubs.

It is believed that he is behind Wayne Rooney, Robin van Persie and Hernandez in the pecking order.

Juventus chief Giuseppe Marotta meanwhile has insisted the midfield star is going nowhere this summer.

"We have no ongoing negotiations, nor have had requests the player to leave," he said.

"Vidal has always said he wanted to stay here and we are more than happy to keep him."

Hopefully can go through

EXCLUSIVE: Manchester United in DOUBLE SWOOP for Dutch stars Daley Blind & Nigel de Jong

LOUIS VAN GAAL is set to go Double Dutch before the transfer window closes with a DOUBLE SWOOP for Nigel de Jong and Daley Blind.

The Manchester United boss wants to strengthen his squad by signing two members of his Dutch World Cup squad.

The Daily Star Sunday revealed on June 29 that former Man City midfielder De Jong, 29, was a £10million target for Van Gaal.

The AC Milan hardpan is the holding midfielder the United boss is seeking.

Van Gaal currently has four midfielders Injured – Michael Carrick, Ander Herrera, Marouane Fellaini and Jesse Lingard.

That prompted United’s Dutch boss to admit United are “thin” in midfield.

And despite signing Argentina defender Marcos Rojo from Sporting Lisbon, Van Gaal still wants Ajax’s Blind, 24.

Blind, who can operate as an orthodox left-back, as a wing-back or at the centre of the defence, is valued at £16m.

United are also eyeing a £50m deal for Real Madrid’s Argentina winger Angel Di Maria, 26, before the window closes a week tomorrow but he is also a target for PSG and Barcelona.

Yay for double swop :bsmilie:;p

Danny Welbeck keen to join Tottenham either on a £15m permanent deal or on loan

The Manchester United outcast is keen to join the north Londoners any way possible - and could move this week

Danny Welbeck wants a move to Tottenham – and the north London club are keen to take the Manchester United and England forward either on a permanent £15million move or on loan.

United are closing in on the signing of Angel Di Maria , which would further limit Welbeck’s chances of first-team football at Old Trafford.

And the 23-year-old player has told pals that he is keen to join Spurs this week.

United admit they will allow the striker to leave – but publicly claim they will not do business with one of their rivals in the Premier League’s top seven.

Yet Welbeck will refuse moves to lower Premier League clubs, including interested parties like Sunderland and Hull, and insist he wants to join the White Hart Lane outfit.

...


All the best to Welbeck

MU is past Moyes and Louis can only improve things but it will be a great uphill task as MU has sunk so low. It is also not the fault of the Chosen One but the fault of those who have chosen him.
