    Need to buy Benzema Kjaer and Sam centre half at Stockport recommended by OLe

    Sell Carrick Hargareves Brown Owen Neville Foster

    haha @ Mr E – Sell neville ? Are u clueless, he just signed a year contract, then he will retire. Brown is a good squad player and hargreaves hasnt played due to injury, but will be back next season. If you watched United and followed them, you would know they need to sell Carrick and Berbatov.

  3. Mr S says:

    United would never even think about selling Neville. Keeping Hargreaves is important. He will provide strength in the midfield next season. Sell Carrick and Anderson. Sir Alex needs to buy a winger, a central midfielder who can create, and a striker. David Silva has recently expressed his desire to come to old trafford. Sir Alex needs to buy him. He would be very useful. Fergie should also look at Marek Hamsik. Young and very talented. And under fergie’s guidance, it would bring the best out of him. For a striker, fergie should make a move for Higuain. Benzema doesnt look like he wants to come. And Higuain is equally talented and he proved it this season. If fergie also wants to make a smart move which would not cost a penny, he should make a move quickly for Joe Cole. He is a proven talent and would bring different class in the united team.

  4. ManU says:

    MU lost the title by a single point thanks to the officials of the match against Chelsea and also Steven Gerard for giving away Liverpool match against Chelsea. Last but not least Fergi the thick headed manager relaying too much on his senior players Giggs,Scholes and worst of all Gary N and John Oshea. They were not consistnt due to ageing and Fergi kept the younger players on the bench only. When are they going to have their chances when the four old blokes are arround ?

  5. ManU says:

    To build a new younger team these four old blokes Giggs,Scholes,Gary N and John Oshea should not be among them.They should retire grcefully or relegated to the reserved team.Buy players like Benzema,Divid Villa and a goal keeper will be enough to strenghten the team.Players like Pak,Brown,Berba and Foster should be able to fetch a good price from other premier league teams.
