United to play 3-4-3 says LvG

I'm surprised you weren't in for Lovren, although Val Gaal probably didn't bother as a bigger club were in for him 😀

Same as that I did think we would be in for him.

You might have enquired and been told that he wants CL football. If the papers are to be believed, he wouldn't have been the only player to turn them down for that reason this summer.

If the papers were to believed we would have a squad of about 50 players at this stage.

Turned down Spurs and Arsenal

@GarethBale22: Tom Cleverley is captain tonight. Give Van Gaal the freedom of Manchester, his devotion to #banter is admirable

This man utd formation is terrifying. 3-4-3 is almost impossible to counter.

For Roma or scum?

Scum doing pretty well. I know not to put much importance on preseason games but compare this to last preseason. Think they'll be a completely different proposition this season.

They'd need to be with their net spend so far, and they'll undoubtedly strengthen further.

I know it's only pre-season but the scum attack looks night and day different so far.

Funniest thing from the Roma match was that Cleverly started the second half as the captain.

 

[cloggypop]

This was the funniest thing. Pjanic scoring from his own half. Fabio Borini just retweeted it!

The formation Van Gaal is playing does seem to be getting the best out of our attack.
Herrra, not nearly as good tonight but he was playing much deeper, has also made a massive difference to our play. Will be interesting how RVP links up with both Mata, Rooney and Herrera.

But we badly need another CM especially with Carrick injured. Strootman would be ideal but not sure we would be willing to take the risk with his injury/recovery.

Largely proves that Moyes, like Hodgson before him at Liverpool, was way out of his league. That Man U team last season wasn't 7th-in-the-league bad-- just badly put together.

3 goals from 3 shots and people worry. Its pre season ffs.
Arsenal got beat by NY Red Bulls last night( WHY ISNT THERE A THREAD ABOUT THIS)?
Does that mean Arsenal are much worse??

 

[Ryan]

Vermaelen is the one I see being linked the most, but there hasn't been much else.

I'd fucking love it if they bought Vermaelen.
