Yep Fergie changes his mind depending on who he falls out with...that's not hard to see....Deep down he knows that Keane was his 2nd most influential player after Ronaldo but he'd never admit that in public with Keane ridiculing Fergie's legacy with every opportunity.....And the 2007-2009 team...

You got that part spectacularly wrong anyways.....I remember we played Bayern Munich during the years you mentioned of Keane's supposed underachievement. Fergie's very words after we lost in Europe yet again in that Munich game was 'If only we'd had 11 Roy Keane's on the pitch.' ......From 97...

I think we have plenty of options for the No.10 role going forward. Barkley prefers the No.10 role but he's not really creative enough as a play-maker for that role. If he was coming here then it would be as a No.8. He's quite similar to Gerrard in a lot of respects and Gerrard moved seamlessly...

True but Rooney's ability to maintain maximum fitness has always come into question......Barkley could possibly be a much more natural athlete meaning he is maintaining peak performance at 29 years of age which is the age Rooney seems to be totally burnt out at

Rodgers had the same major issue that Moyes had at Utd in that he was not able to attract big names from abroad....I'd rate Rodgers as a much better manager than Moyes as his methods are more up to date with the modern game but they both had that major issue.....Foreign managers have that huge...

Unless Januzaj suddenly turns into the most feared young winger in Europe at Dortmund this season then I think Mane with his pace and sort of goal threat would be a decent addition......and wouldn't cost insane money......shame about losing him for the 6 weeks every 2 years to the African cup...

The difference being that Barkley is clearly up to speed with the pace of the premier league...and next season he'll be even stronger.....It will be next season before we even get close to seeing what Memphis will be able to offer and he's gonna be huge for us a year or so down the line

Carrick is a true Man Utd legend. He's been controlling opposition midfield's for many years....This season he looks like he's gone down a level sadly....He barely is doing enough to be a first teamer now....maybe that can change as the season progresses

I'd take Martins Indi over Rojo any day. At the end of the day you do not miss a massively important US pre-season tour because you forgot that your passport was about to expire...That is unheard of in modern professional football and I don't believe the excuse for a second. At least with...

If Rooney could play any role in getting Barkley possibly here next summer and help the fellow Scouser settle then I'd be happy for Rooney to stick around for another couple of seasons on 300,000 a week even though he's only worth half that salary these days

I totally agree...that's why I said what I did in this debate because others were saying Robbo was clearly better and let's be honest here...it's disrespectful to either of them to make such a clear statement like that and almost impossible to separate them

The reality is that there is no contest...Keane was on a different level altogether. Robbo was a master but Fergie managed them both and often said that Keane was his best ever player......If Keane had have bene English then there'd be no one arguing that Robbo was better

He'll keep Sunderland up. Himself, Pardew and Pulis are the best in the business and turning relegation candidates into comfortable mid-table teams

I think we won't see consistency from Darmian until next season. It's a whole new level of intensity for him. We were exposed at Arsenal mostly because Van Gaal put 2 granddads in central mid instead of having the defensive energy of Scheiderlin in there and that gave Arsenal a free license to...

I'd have Valencia as back up behind Mata on the right wing ahead of Nani yes.......I don't think either Valencia on current form or Nani are good enough for a starting role in the team. But Valencia can also play right back so that's probably why he got kept. But I believe it was the right...
