It's ridiculous how much success teams are having pressing Utd's midfield, Fellaini is so hesitant on the ball and everyone including Carrick often dwells on it for way too long. The having everyone clog up the middle tactic vs. Stoke obviously failed, but every winger except Januzaj have been useless. Fergie probably got the best out of the squad last season but Moyes certainly has made everyone play their worst. | ||

Compared to when Ronaldo first arrived, Januzaj is not as quick but makes better decisions, is way more productive, and equally gifted technically. You can tell even aside from his goals and assists, the touches he gets, the way he sees the pitch, etc. For the past three games he's much pretty carried the team when everyone around him has played shitty, which is sorta reminiscent of Ronaldo's good games in his first and second seasons. Utd were pretty bad back then too.

Kagawa has been better in all CL games, hadnt much starts in PL... | ||

He is great going forward and more than suitable defensively for the premiership. The only reason he isn't world class/tested is because he has been 2nd choice to Ashley Cole internationally xD If that wasn't the case he would be even better imo. Fair enough, we'll see what he brings to United. | ||

Its a shame though that he never left England or Everton for champions league football. Humm... Roberto Carlos, Lizarazu, Maldini? I'd say even Abidal was better than him! | ||

Carlos - Great offensively, not so great defensively Maldini - Great defensively, poor offensively Lizarazu - Not in the same league Abidal - Not in the same league Cole - Great offensively and awesome defensively Right now Ashley is only exceptional defensively and has lost his crossing at top level. But still his job is defend and he is still awesome at it. Add a Poll see what we get; Poll: Best Left Back? Roberto Carlos (16) Lizarazu (5) Maldini (4) Ashley Cole (2) Abidal (0) 27 total votes Your vote: Best Left Back? (Vote): Ashley Cole | ||

Kagawa has been better in all CL games, hadnt much starts in PL... he only really played well vs. sociedad, januzaj scored 2 vs sunderland, made the goal vs Southampton, provided the energy vs. stoke when kagawa and nani were ineffective, it's not an exaggeration to say januzaj has carried united. | ||

They already have Rooney for free kicks D: And yeah, I don't really know any good young left backs that United could get, but I personally wouldn't buy Baines, unless he was very cheap, because of his age. | ||

Well Maldini kinda sorta falls in there. But there has been a bit of a dirth in terms of fullbacks in general the last decade, everyone has something glaring that lets them fall short, so in that respect there isnt much competation for Ashley Cole. | ||

Nope did nothing offensively and was just a good defender He hasn't even been rated by FIFA and doesn't get a look in in any world squad or anything "/ He played in an awesome France team at the team. The Bayern team he played in was the beast team that bottled it vs Yanited in the final. He was a good defender but not in the class of Maldini Carlos or Ashley cole | ||
