It's not about number mate, it's about quality for the position needed. Di Maria is never going to pull the strings. He offers pace and the attacking potency to run at defences. But a playmaker, a box to box, or defensive minded midfielder he is not. Individually neither Herrera or Blind are strong enough or versatile enough to protect our defence or be that playmaker. Together they may work but that's yet to be proved and what happens if one is injured? What we needed was to sign a proper midfield general or a marquee playmaker. That would have allowed for our lack of depth in quality for the CM. But these two are not enough to cover that I'm afraid.

Blind is a dm who can also cover left back. He happens to be a very successful one at least in dutch football. A level of so below the premier league but as a 2 x dutch poty and at 13.8million, he could be a steal.

Herrera so far in his careers has the midfields of real madrid, barcelona and Manchester united in his pocket. Hes very capable of bossing the midfield. The best interception rate in la liga, the most tackles. High pass completion.

We missed vidal and i am disappointed. it could have been amazing but once they all get on the pitch, it will be special. Regardless, last seasons midfield is now truly second choice. Rejoice.

Completely agree with this <ok>
 
It's very easy for all us unpaid managers of Manchester United to come up with all these wonderful formations, but I think we all need to realise that LVG is paid megabucks to put together a side that can win.

Because he is paid more per week than we get in a year, it is reasonable to assume he knows what he is doing. So instead of all the possible combinations that might win a few games on X-box, can we leave the real decisions to the man who puts the team together.

Might be an idea to judge him after 10 games.
