Young, Lingard and Carrick have earned spots in our squad. You need some experience from players who've been there like Carrick. Young can also deputize at LB if Shaw returns. I also believe you need academy players like Lingard in the squad. Lingard in many ways can be an annoying prick with the dabs and snap chat posts but he was raised at this club and there is a use for him. I hope Jose calms down Ed on the "Galactico" project. We need players who will fit the club and manager. If that means bringing in Perisic, Keane and other less "star" studded signings then I'm for it. Who were Vidic, Evra, Solskjaer, Hernandez, etc. before they came to our club? I'm sorry but I hate all this he's a squad player crap. Young and Carrick are way passed their sell by date. They DID A JOB this year. Young put in effort, but he is so limited gor what we need and Carrick has got away with mediocre for years Well I do think there is a practical difficulty in bringing up to 8 players in one transfer window unless you believe some of our youth are ready to be promoted to the first team. Our transfer budget isn't unlimited. Not everyone will be sold and it is okay having players like Young and Carrick in your squad if they aren't expected to play everyday. |

Do you get annoyed that De Gea can't play on the wing? No, but I think you've missed the point. Not really. Fletcher was never a winger, he was a CM. Fergie tried to convert him, Fletch did as he was told. But that doesn't make it the players fault. |

You should look at where Fletch debuted for United. He played a bit on the right wing for Fergie before being converted to CM. My point is that Lingard may be frustrating to watch at times, as was Fletcher early in his career, but he eventually turned into an important player for us in big games. There is a use to having a player like Lingard in the squad when he's had some big moments for us already. |

Fair enough he's helped us in a couple of big games but that should be what hes doing every week, even as a squad player. At the moment he is all kinds of limited and at 90k+ a week we can do a lot better - in fact we need to be if we are to get back to the top. Edit: As for Fletch, Fergie may have debuted him at RM, but considering he spent his time in the reserves and that in CM, it doesn't make him a winger. Hence he was moved back to his proper position. |

Oh what a night Late in May in nineteen ninety nine Ole scored a goal in injury time Some big moment sign him up. I was one of Lingard's strongest supporters coming through the youth system and was delighted to see him getting a chance under van Gaal. He got his chance. He isn't getting significantly better than right now. He's a waste of a squad place. |

Lingard got a rating of 3 yesterday. Same as Rooney.
Good job we don't have any particularly big matches coming up soon, that they should be fighting for a place in.

Tracked down some decent enough highlights (in length at least) Martial looked dangerous when played wide left. I for one would prefer him over Lingard and Miki in the final, but it seems like his front 3 has been decided. Also, as we mentioned before, Romero hasn't let us down but this final is off the charts, potentially worth countless millions, important. It seems even more of an unnecessary risk not playing the best player we have.

Also, I hate to say it, but it could be De Gea's last game for the club and I'd like him to go out on the high of a trophy. |

Couldn't care less if De Gea goes out on a high, if he helps us to lift the trophy, great - after that cheers, won't get sentimental about another bastard heading to Madrid, especially one that played for their biggest local rivals. |

I think Jose is too much of a winner to not play DDG out of spite if he indeed asked to leave. Winning the EL at this point is WAY more important than Romero's feelings or DDG's potential transfer.

If he does go, the main thing IMO is to use his transfer to hold them to ransom the way we have been in years passed. It would be a bit of a pain to have to stump up for a new keeper and disrupt things, but it's harder to get top players who can score and create so we should be talking 1 or two of theirs |
