Meh. Call me salty, but I think France shouldn't have won this. We were the better team for almost the entire match and had the better chances. We were just too stupid and unlucky to score. I really missed Gomez today. And an in-form Müller.

No... Please no more Michael Carrick... Have you seen any United games this year...

 

Oh man.  I know France is winning but you HAVE to take Olivier Giroud out of there.  He is garbage and he is slow garbage at that.  Coman is overrated and is not a striker.  They NEED Anthony Martial.

I just threw his name in there, it's not like Schweinsteiger or Schneiderlin did any better last year. Our best midfielder was Fellaini....

I hope he sells Fellaini, guy is a major liability. 

I'm so confused because you said Afroman was your best mid and then you call him a major liability.  Herrera is not an all-star but he is very good when playing most central midfield positions, including deeper roles (just not super-deep).  And with Bailly-Smalling combo you can push Blind back up to defensive mid again.

He was our best midfielder but the point was that's how $&!# our midfield was, someone who I don't think any United fan rates was our best midfielder. 

 

I love Herrera but his best football with United was when he played on the right/middle of our front 4. 

 

I don't know how much of a role Blind will have in the team, Mou even said in his presser that he prefers specialist to utility players.

I think Sky even reported that Mata and Blind are the first 2 players that Mou will look to sell.

 

I don't mind Blind, can play a lot of positions and he does the simple things right. I will never forget Blind goal against LFC off a free kick that went top bins. Won us the game as well IIRC.

PSG just signed Hatem Ben Arfa, who is, remarkably, only 29.

 

does anybody remember like 8-10 years ago when this kid was touted as being the next great midfielder? Lyon was pumping out talented midfielders left and right, but I remember seeing this guys named linked with every big club out there. 

 

Sorta reminds me of Gourcuff - the Zidane that never was

Give him a bit of a break.  He's come off a very good season and is set to enjoy a late peak.  Just look at Dimitri Payet.
