    Is there only me that would like to see Kagawa get a run of games at No10? i would like to see an attack of

    Welbeck Rooney Adnan/Nani
    Kagawa

    you would have a fast flowing front four with three play-a-makers also involved.

    Your wish might just come true on Wednesday if Rooney is injured.

    In the league I would still prefer Mata

    Is that for the Bayern game, or just in general? If it is in general, what about Mata?

    I would like to see it tried in general for a run of games to see if they clicked. I would go with Kagawa because he is faster in the build-up than Mata and i think that could make a big difference. You could ask the question "what about" in terms of many players, it is a squad game now and unfortunately only eleven can play at one time.

    So you wouldn't tinker with Mata in the first XI? Personally I think we should try and get Mata, Rooney, and Kagawa on the field at the same time. With either Nani/Januzaj/Welbeck as the 4th option.

    On the few occasions Mata and Kagawa have been on the pitch together they have been trying to take up the same possitions and often been within two yards of each other, their thinking is too similar but of the two Kagawa is faster of thought and movement.

    Was the first time the 3 started together against West Ham? I thought they were excellent. What was really good was that everytime Mata got the ball, both Kagawa and Rooney knew exactly where to run for him to be that playmaker. I thought the way they read each other was very good. Unfortunately Young was on the other side and that was the only reason we couldn't score more as our right side was virtually redundant.

    My short term memory is shot but pretty sure we have started Rooney, RVP, Mata and kagwa all together in a couple of games and Mata and Kagawa looked like their laces were tied together :D

    Kagawa and mata would fast become unstoppable. In the short time they have played together their football and understanding of each others game, movement and wherabouts is brilliant.

    Obviously moyes will sell kagawa and buy another young/valencia.

    Kagawa is ****ing brilliant.

    It was their first start together without RVP. The movement by each of Kagawa and Rooney in front of Mata was very good tbf, it pulled WH's defence apart. If Januzaj/Nani had played on the right, we would have created so much more.

    Thats better :)
    The reason i left Mata out of my front four is because i believe Welbecks pace causes more problems to teams when we have just Rooney up front. Today, with the pace of Hernandez up front we didn`t need Welbeck.

    This is why I thought United would not be acting irrationality if they sacked Moyes. Your squad contains a pretty good starting XI, with a potentially brilliant attack, but its taken injury to make Moyes play it.

    Newcastle were **** today, but that should not detract from the fact that you were very impressive.

    Yep, Fergie picked players for the game not for the name.If you are going to be under pressure and have to play on the break then players like Welbeck and Valencia are important, if you are up against a parked bus then players like Mata, Kagawa and Hernandez are much more suited.
