Fergie calm on Berba future

"I do not need to herald the abilities of Dimitar Berbatov, he is a fantastic talent," said Ferguson.

"Last season he didn't quite get the amount of football he wants. At his age, it was difficult for him to accept his position in the forward line.

"He had Rooney, Welbeck and Hernandez in front of him, and they are all young men.

"The boy has a future, but if he wants to leave it is a different matter.

"I am easy about it if he stays. I would be happy with that. But if someone comes in and Dimitar wants to leave, we will assess it."

Sky Sports

I bet he does move this summer.

Got it on today

[manutdfan]

Cool!!

My brother got the Kagawa shirt too.

I've used it as a table cloth too - excellent value for money.

And people call the Glazer's greedy, releasing a multi purpose shirt = great value for money.

have we really made a bid for him? macheda can be our 4th choice and we need that money spent in a CM

[Tutankhamun]

Seems strange to me, what would signing RVP mean to Welbeck and Hernandez?

It says Arsenal wants £25-30m to me that's a lot for a player that hasn't been fit for several seasons in a row.

Big names set for Man United switch

Yes, some bright spark had the idea to create this electrifying bit of Man United merchandise, meaning you can now get a host of big Man United names on your light switch. Perfect if Fergie is preparing to turn out the lights on some of his top players

Agreed, stay at Arsenal RVP!

Only way I can see it fitting is if are 3 strikers are RVP, Welbz and Chicho. Rooney and Kagawa rotating between the CAM position, but Kagawa would never get to play as Rooney is pretty much undroppable in Fergie's eyes.

I really don't want RVP to be honest, as good as he is.

[manutdfan]

Yeah I don't think we're really bidding for R.. V... P using United to bump the price up.

Money would be better spent on a midfielder.

[Tutankhamun]

I want an LB and a midfielder that can chase down the opposition and recover the ball. We especially need a CM if Fletcher can't play for the whole season.

I feel we have enough offensive talent with Kagawa coming in.

Or start coaching the team to do that, like they used to. Not sure a ball winner is the way to go, especially in Europe.

Most ball winners these days, just end up looking like a headless chickens.

so its official

Clas, player, but we would 2/3 seasons out of him if we are lucky? and we have more pressing issues LIKE FUCKING CM....and that would mean we would stick to the dreaded 4,4,2 with a gaping hole in CM

Thats what I like about Fletcher. He can actually play the ball forward too. Really hope he can fully recover but I, unfortantly, doubt it.

Boss confirms van Persie bid

"Obviously Arsenal have given out the fact that we've made a bid for him," the manager told MUTV.

"We try to keep business as close as possible to us until the moment we conclude a deal. There's no point talking about something that might not happen.

"There are other clubs interested in the player. We've shown an interest and that's where we're at at the moment."

Damn.

[three3-times]

ALL WE need is a CM that can get up and down, kick people and have some bollocks about him, no one really plays with DMC's anymore. just need a PRESCENCE in CM, which is what we dont have and if we dont get, wont get no20

Piss off Dan, i beat you to it!

[R3D D3V!L]

I don't know what Fergie is thinking to be honest.

[Tutankhamun]

Piss off Dan, i beat you to it!

Haha, things always seem to go down when I'm eating dinner lol.

I honestly expect us to get RVP now. Don't think SAF would have said anything unless he felt a deal was imminent.

Hopefully a deal for RVP does not hinder other deals this summer or next. Might just be the right midfielder isn't available this summer.

i think you might be right on that one, but then again, he said we wanted nasri, but then didnt he say he will go elsewhere?

Hmmmm.

PLease just get a CM ffs SAF!

I can't remember what he said about Nasri exactly but he might have confirmed an interest. Not sure.

I just don't know how we can keep Rooney, RVP, Welbeck and Hernandez happy. All four should be regulars. Rooney is obviously untouchable since he's our best by a mile and he can play 90% of the games in one campaign.

What about Shinji?! he is a PURE AMC, i assumed us signing him would mean a 4231, we really need to get away from the tired 442. If Shinji ends up on the wing, ill be fuming.

Maybe we'll use RVP and Kagawa in games that suites them. But neither seems like bit players to me.

[manutdfan]

Could play 4-4-1-1

With young, Kagawa, Carrick, val in midfield. Then Rooney and RVP up top. I think Rooney and RVP would work well together.

[santinomarella]

We won't get RVP, City know we're after him now, they will throw all kinds of money his way.
