Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!! €20M Euros for the season? United weren't lacking in attacking talent. It's their defence that needed attention. I'm quite happy for them to have absolutely no solidarity at the back! Completely baffled, but delighted at the same time. Be my f**king guest!
On a more important note. Delighted with our window. Quality added, depth added, a solid window for us. Hopefully get that competition for Migs in too
It is not their most pressing issue but they certainly have difficulty finding the net as well. Their problem, IMO, is a lack of fluidity. With a front three of Rooney, RVP and Falcao, I genuinely cannot see too much improvement. What stands out to me is their lack of pace in attack. The lack movement off the ball has also hurt them. Can you coach an old dog new tricks? AFAIK, in this era of football, they are old dogs. Them getting Falcao does not concern me.
They need to ping the ball about more and look for that run in behind the defence. Right now they don't do this. They pass the ball slowly out to the wings and then have the ball crossed into the box. Even Di Maria was guilty of this against Burnley. It is predictable 1990 style of football.
IMO they should drop a number of players who are currently holding them back. Van Persie should be dropped as should one of Rooney or Mata (they are too similar). They ought to keep Welbeck as he's their only striker with pace. They should maybe even try Shaw at RB and see how that works out.
De Gea
Shaw Jones Rojo Blind
Herrera
Fletcher Mata
Januzai Falcao DiMaria
Rooney is the kind of player who gets on the score sheet every now and then, but totally disrupts their style of play. Same goes for that old Robin Van sh*te.
