Haha I know but after the disaster that was the last season I'm overjoyed by these results. Still, we couldn't beat Southampton last season and now we've already beaten Roma, Inter and Real Madrid that too with Jones, Evans, Young and Cleverley in the team!
It's been a great pre season but the club still needs two defenders along with Mr Vidal!!
Andy Carrol out for 4 months !! Any one else a hammer here ? im more of an arm chair hammer these days
I bet fat Freddie is laughing his bollocks off at flogging him to the bin dippers a few seasons ago, saying that Kenny did get a good wod of cash for Torres as well.
Di Maria rumours surfacing again since PSG have withdrawn their bid. Would be a great signing for United if it does happen.
I'm not really a fan of him, the system that LVG is playing wouldn't accommodate a player like him. Attacking options I feel we are fine with, it's just the defence which could do with strengthening then I think we should be ok for the season. Remember that we don't need that big of a squad this season because of not qualifying for the Champions League and the squad is too big already in my opinion.
if the reports are true about LVG not wanting to do a swap deal involving Smalling for Vermalen then my opinion of him has dropped rapidly!

Despite a good pre season Smalling was very poor last season tbh, Vermaelen is infinitely better than him. Though I'm still hoping we're able to sign Hummels. He's exactly the person we need. Other than that Jones, Evans and especially Tyler Blackett has been very impressive in pre season. Let's see what happens, these are all still rumours so far.
Also, by this time I've completely given up on Vidal.

Smalling is terrible, everytime I see him on the team sheet I cringe. Jones needs to step up, far too error prone for a centre back but I think if you give him a good run in the team he might improve. Blackett and Keane are the other 2 that has been playing in pre season, I like what I see of Keane so far and Blackett needs to go on loan for the season to get some experience.
Vidal won't happen, I don't think we need him tho. Fletcher has done well in pre season, with him, Carrick and possibly Fellaini (unless he goes to Napoli) we should be fine. We just need at least 1 world class defender, Hummels fits the bill nicely.
Van Gaal starts off well at Old Trafford. A win against Valencia. Also Rooney named captain and Fletcher vice captain for United. Good choices IMO.
Rojo the Argentinian left back wants to join United. Hope that happens because he really impressed me at the World Cup. Vidal also edging closer but Juve want Chicharito and one other player. The Daley Blind deal also looking certain now. Looks like our defence is shaping up. We need these guys because LvG announced that Evans, Shaw and Valencia have picked up injuries and may miss the opening weekend.
Liverpool also planning to snap up Samuel Eto'o. What a squad they're building. Going to be tough this season, Chelsea, City and Liverpool have great squad depth.
