Do we think Messi could finally free up Pogba?Actually, they could I reckon. Imagine Messi playing with Ronaldo and Pogba in midfield...
your obsession is admirableI agree, but Pochettino, elite coaching staff, DoF and/or a transfer committee would. We don’t know how to play football at United. That is embarrassing and no world class players can fix that, but a top class manager could. When you looked at how poorly we performed this season when Ole got the contract it should be apparent that we don’t have a gameplan.
On a side note, Rooney might have a career as a manager or a BT/Sky pundit after his career is over. He also rightly claimed that we should have moved heaven and earth to land Pochettino.
The way he sneaked that in.your obsession is admirable
They saw the rot before we all did.Whatever happened to the Punjabi Reds? They were a fixture for a long time.
Surely, we also need:I reckon we could make a title challenge at least with Messi and Ronaldo upfront and Ramos in defense. Pogba to feed them
He has a very good football brain. He’s understood loads of different positions and roles over the course of his career and has played all of them to a high level. He doesn’t come across as the smartest guy outside of football related matters, but when it comes to football he has a very very good brain.For all the derision of his intellect, I think he's quite a smart and capable guy. Would make a good manager in another decade's time.
Hodor.I agree, but Pochettino, elite coaching staff, DoF and/or a transfer committee would. We don’t know how to play football at United. That is embarrassing and no world class players can fix that, but a top class manager could.

Rashford over Bale? Smalling over Ramos?Of course they fecking would.
-------------Dea Gea-----------
Dalot----Lindelof---Smalling--Shaw
-----------McTomminay-----------
--------Pogba------Fred-------
Rashford----------------Messi
-----------Ronaldo--------
900 goals in that team.

Wouldn’t be a half bad option at all, Ish. I mean we could even throw one on for Lingard for the last ten when we’re chasing a game.They’d solve a fair few of our problems tbf. Not all of them, obviously
ouch.Wouldn’t be a half bad option at all, Ish. I mean we could even throw one on for Lingard for the last ten when we’re chasing a game.
So you think Ramos alone would have a bigger impact than Messi, Ronaldo and Bale combined?They'd solve a lot going forward and create even more defensively
What? Do you disagree he has a great football brain? Surely notSilent domination?
Maybe I phrased it badly. I meant we'd have more issues defending than we do currently with Bale, Ronaldo, Messi and Ramos in the team.So you think Ramos alone would have a bigger impact than Messi, Ronaldo and Bale combined?
I’ve no idea? He’s said some common sense stuff that 90% of the Caf would agree with. Not sure that makes him a genius.What? Do you disagree he has a great football brain? Surely not
That he needed to be told very basic stuff by LVG in his 30’s.Having played with Wayne Rooney for 10 years, having worked with him for England for three or four years, I can say he is a street football player who can chase the ball, wants to be involved and wants to be everywhere on the pitch.
But I think Louis van Gaal must have him on a lead in training, and says to him: ‘That’s not your position, that’s not what you're there to do’.
Fergie said the same in his book. He doesn't take instructions well, and reverts to what he knowsI’ve no idea? He’s said some common sense stuff that 90% of the Caf would agree with. Not sure that makes him a genius.
Even in Neville’s ”silent domination” speech he pretty much called him stupid if you read between the lines:
That he needed to be told very basic stuff by LVG in his 30’s.
That's not really how Neville meant it That's taking reading between the lines to a ridiculous levelI’ve no idea? He’s said some common sense stuff that 90% of the Caf would agree with. Not sure that makes him a genius.

That’s true. It maybe hard to win CL, but the League with those attacking GOATS? We were 2nd with Lukaku, Rashford, Martial, and Lingard in attack.Rooney is an idiot if he doesn’t think we’d p*ss the league with those four in it.
He’s not the brightest and this sort of nonsense reaffirms it.
Not in a malicious way, but in a ”look how well the adorable ball chaser is behaving under LVG, that’s a good boy, I’m so proud of him for following instructions for once in his life” kind of way.That's not really how Neville meant it That's taking reading between the lines to a ridiculous level
It sounds as though he’s talking about a 12 year old and not a 30 year old.“Everyone who left Old Trafford may have said: ‘Didn’t see much of Rooney today,’ but I think Louis van Gaal would have loved that performance. I would think Louis van Gaal will have watched that game back and might think that was Rooney’s best performance for Manchester United under him.”
