Monu I agree with all of that including the scouts. As for Ashley Young, it could have been worse. I genuinely thought he'd bought him as an option to play in m/f after his last season at Villa. Thank fork that hasn't happened...yet Yeh it's like he thinks we're AC Milan ffs! |

You say it could've been worse but I look at Young's overall style of play and impact he has on Utd and barring a few wonder strikes he's very different to the rest. He hasn't adapted his style of play so in a sense I believe he's a bit of hinderance to Utd. I certainly wouldn't look to him like I do if Valencia or Nani have the ball at their feet. Ashley Young in AM would make me so happy.

Yes I'd agree which is why I've lost some passion for football as I've taken a bigger interest in boxing. Sometimes I think why should I let the results effect me emotionally but my point for woody was I'd never celebrate a possible cup exit no matter the circumstances. |

Ashley Young anywhere in and around the 16 yard box in quick interplay (or the wonder strike) is good. Ashley Young on the wing, passing his way up from midfield has not been effective. Nani on the other hand is the opposite, great working the ball up to the 16 yard box, but forks up when he gets there Valencia, overall is good at getting the ball or himself into the box, but since his injury hasn't been consistent (seems a bit less courageous???) Combined they all get the job done somehow lol.

The more I think about it, the more I see how Rooney keeps Utd alive. His deep play and short passing at times rescues the midfield. Yes sometimes he is too hollywood and makes the wrong pass but he is why players like Nani and Valencia can get the ball early to make moves towards the box. When he does that for Young he tends to deliver too early or play a one two. Interesting to see how Utd overcome this. |

Pogba again in the squad, must have agreed a new contract? I'm going for a 2-0 United win, similar professional performance to the one against Ajax away from home |
