    You wouldn't pick Wilshere (if he is ready to play by then)?

    He's so injury prone though. Unreliable.

    On his day England could definitely use him.

    I like a fit on form Wilshere in the box to box CM position but i choose Barkley ahead of him because he has had a good season and i believe players should be picked on form

    One of the biggest fall from graces ever, since Fergie left.

    It really is an eye opener when you look at the David Moyes comparison to Van Gaal. The fact that Van Gaal spent a lot more money and had a worse record than him is crazy.

    I hated Moyes at the time because his sides gave up the same as Van Gaals did, but at least they went to attack the game. Overall though both Moyes and Van Gaal are as deluded as each other.

    I dno exactly what Man Utd need, but chopping and changing managers and spending millions every few seasons isn't going to work.

    Changing their manager to someone who can fix the team for the next 3-4 years is whats needed.

    Fam, We get him in July and then he steers the ship and we can challenge for the title next year with transfers.
    Jose probably gonna be at United for 3 years then we can think about changing to someone like Giggs. By then the new squad would be established and good enough for someone like Giggs who can then put their touch on the team

    Every time Jose has left a team it has been tired and needed reshuffling. He tends to wear out players. Sure you'll win, but it comes at a cost. There's no long term guarantee with Jose.
    Mauricio Pochettino is who i'd want. Someone who has a clear style of play and is proven to bring in youth. Someone who can get under performing players up to their potential and isn't afraid to drop stars for youth.

    Jose will for sure bring instant success but it will come at the cost of youth development & style of play.

    He'll probaly tone it down once he's at United, but his constant whining about refeeres and a supposed agenda against him was so annoying.
