Maybe Van Gaal is right about being happy with the current squad.
We need another defender at least. We get injuries for fun in that position and with 3 of them playing all at once we're guaranteed to pick up a few

Is that really Ashley Young out there? He's looked like a useful player this tour.

Not as if you've been playing Exeter and Stevange. These are World Class teams you're outplaying
In pre-season though. All that this will do is give us confidence and fitness going into the league. You can't say we're favourites just yet.

We still need an experienced central defender. Don't think Keane is ready to start regularly just yet.
A CB like Vermaelen and we'd be fine I think. Another holding midfielder too if we want to seriously compete for the title.

Our intensity and general composure is so good. Ridiculous how two weeks with van Gaal has improved us this much.

If Bale scored that they'd be going on about it for ages. Good effort and save

The lack of European fixtures this season may really give us an edge in terms of fitness.

We could do with a CB and that's it. As far as depth goes, with Van Gaal's system we actually have a decent midfield. I think Anderson will flourish in a three man midfield as well, assuming he stays.
