    Shaw Jones Smalling and Darmian <laugh>
    Darmian is decent, but the other 3.
    2 journeymen and someone who ate a journeyman.
    They aint winning any titles with that defence.

    The rest of the XI is pretty damned good though

    Good start, Shaw if he can get fit will be ok and I'm wondering or worrying that the center backs will be better with the 2 ahead of them. #stillworried

    The only way they are going to get anywhere with that defence is to play "ultra defensive hoof ball protect the back four because they are so ****" tactics, which is what LvG did for a large portion last year.

    Look what happened when LvG changed it up and tried to make them more open, they got mullered by Leicester ffs!! Conceding 5 to Leicester!

    Don't get me wrong, they will finish top 4 without question, and possibly a cup, but not the PL and certainly not the CL, with a weak ass defence like that.

    Shaw turning down Chelsea really did upset you! You're like the geeky kid in the playground who can't get the attention of the girl he fraps over every night!

    We didn't even put in an offer for Shaw for a start <doh>
    And even if we had, I wouldn't have wanted him for the price United paid.
    Footballers shouldn't be bought by the lb, like fruit and veg
    Thats the only reason I can see why his fee was so high.

    But then I guess when your club is desperate and you don't have a decent manager anymore to run the thing, just throwing money at everything will work eventually....
    Even we got a European Cup in the end after a billion quid spend. United are a third of the way towards their next CL win <ok>

    Calm down yourself, luv. We've no control over what others do so let's just concentrate on our own (not that we, as fans, have any control over them either :( )
    They have a good collection of players, wait and see how they do as a team.

    <laugh> please play this team Van Gaal

    GK is walking away on a free so not sticking himself in where he might get injured
    Back 4 basically doesn't exist
    Schweinsteiger is crocked
    Herrera as 10? <cheers>
    Depay won't start, Van Gaal has already done a fat Shaw on him and warned he's not good enough
    Mata is the only decent player #moyesboys

    That's a fat team you've listed Gonz :)

    Jones, Rooney and Shaw must weigh more than most clubs whole first 11 combined.

    You can't drop their main threat from last year! Where's fellaini? Who's going to win the headers from the hoofball they play?!

    The defence with a keeper several levels above any other in the league. Last season it was the 4th best in the division with a right winger at rb.

    I think its just fine but it will improve. van Gaal confirmed it today.

    We also battered City and Liverpool while making Spurs look like a League Two side (not league one, they beat us)

    Sure you didnt bid for Shaw. You had no chance of getting him but you were certainly interested.

    Shaw is a Chelsea fan. If they wanted him they could have had him for half what Man Utd spent.

    Absolutely wrecks of desperate fear and worry. Stinks of it.

    You're looking at a side that will literally wipe the floor with your lot, in reverse gear. Last seasom should have been a lesson when you were humiliated twice. This teams significantly better.
