people are acting like it's Ronaldo who is leaving.

I'm watching this space closer than Lee Cattermole watches for a chance to boot someone.
Nah, Ronaldo would never leave mate.
Just refuse to believe this. If we sell Chico and Welbeck, surely we would need another striker, in which case Mario at £16mil wouldn't have been bad business 
Seriously though, I don't see the point in weakening an area we are strongest in!

I didn't say that. I said I won't be overly bothered if he leaves. Same goes for Hernandez.
Hernandez is invisible for 80% of the time he's on the pitch. He barely contributes as much as Welbeck does.
And if you're going off goal tallies, I hope you took into account that Welbeck was playing on the left wing a lot of the time at United.
Sell Hernandez and keep Welbeck. He is important to the way we play. He offers much more than your typical striker like Hernandez. Hernandez is totally out of form at the moment. Madness if true.
Would be the wrong move for so many reasons. Feel like he'd be one of the players who'd benefit the most from LVG.
He's never been that good out wide. Very much comes across as a central striker forced to play out wide, which he is.
Does a good job as a high energy high pressing attacker in games when we sit back though.
There's also the possibility Welbeck still wants away as he isn't first choice and this is the club putting their spin on things... Not much we can do if he wants to leave.
Do you honestly think the club will just keep spending away without attempting to generate any noticeable money from sales?
I think we can all agree that he is behind Rooney and RvP in the pecking order. Perhaps he wants to play and has asked to leave?
For sure. I just think it was so obvious in pre-season that we were a better side with Welbeck on the pitch than without him. It's actually true for most of the last couple of seasons. So long as he's playing as a striker anyway. On the relatively rare occasions in the last two seasons when we've looked good against quality opposition it's almost always involved Danny playing up top. Mind you, this is all linked to Rooney and RvP never looking like they could form a partnership. Which is not a bullet I can see Van Gaal being willing to bite, now that he's made Rooney captain.
Probably bullshit, but he's 100% ahead of Hernandez. Maybe he was told that he wasn't going to be first choice and he wants to go somewhere where he is?

This 'more' we're harping on about is build up play, high pressing, decent in the air and giving us a great option to stretch the defence with his pace. Chicha's goals have dried up, so he doesn't even contribute that any more.
Definitely possible.
Fecking shame, if true. Especially with RvP reverting to his former "man of glass" persona in the last 12 months or so. Not as though Rooney is unbreakable either,
Quick passing, movement, energetic pressing, dynamism, better technique, ability to hold up the ball and dribble. Hernandez is not good enough for United in my opinion. Besides, it's been a while since he scored a lot.
Pretty much spot on. We look miles better when he's in the team.
I think rumours were circulating last season that he wanted out. If that is the case, at his age, it is hard to blame him.
Would be disappointing. On his day, he is a very good player for us.
Now RVP is back, maybe LVG has told Welbeck that he is our #3. If he wants to leave, then you can't blame him. With Wilson making a sudden rise with a lot of momentum behind him, he could easily outperform Welbeck and as LVG has said, it doesn't matter regarding experience, if a younger player is playing better than an older player he will play.

Yeah he will make getting the Rvp and Rooney partnership to work one of his main priorities. He's made Rooney and captain and he clearly rates RVP very highly. Plus, on paper they're actually ideal for each other. More than a couple of passes to each other would be a good start.
This could be the case and if it is, there's nothing we can do. He's not going to actually be first choice for us any time soon.
Not great news to hear...but it is easy to see the arguments for and against the move from both sides!
Seems to me like he got it spot on. We just didn't agree a fee.
Plus, if it meant Di Maria coming if Welbeck left (because Welbeck has essentially been a winger for us anyway), then I'd be leaning towards that sadly. I adore when our academy players come through, but I just can't see Welbeck keeping a first team spot with us. He's not clinical enough unfortunately. Sure, he's played on the wing a heck of a lot of times for us so his goals/games ratio will obviously not be fantastic. But even when he's performing well for us up front, he's eventually shifted out to make way for Rooney and RVP. There's a reason he can't hold down a position up there and that may be down his decision making (which isn't awful by any means) or the clinicality (?) that's missing from his game.
I'd be very annoyed to see him go. He's quality and our only 1st team striker with real pace. He was also very good in pre-season so I see no reason why LVG would want to let him go.
This would make no sense. If we want to sell a striker it has to be Hernandez.
Yeah, he's not good enough for United, it's your opinion though so that's fine.
Wouldn't be overly fussed if he goes. He's a good player and all but nowhere near as good as some on here like to make out. In saying that, I would rather keep him than get shafted and sell him for £16m. The hysteria on here if he left would be hilarious, though.
Playing on the left wing is not a reason to scoff simple shots, fall over inside the 18 box and miss easy chances, too many excuses being made for him.
Church.
If this was to free up a space for Cavani, then I really would start to lose hope for this season.
Exactly my point and some see it as an opportunity to criticize Hernandez. I'll be pissed off if we sell Welbeck and keep the likes of Young and Anderson.
In a world where someone like Borini can be loaned out to a mid-table side, score 7 goals and suddenly be worth £12 million why wouldn't we just loan him out for a year whilst we address other areas? If £12-15 million is his value then we may as well hold onto him, he's 24, English and still has plenty of potential.
I think we're getting over-excited over a piece of bullshit.
Myth.
I'd be seriously pissed off if we sold Welbeck.
I don't think it's true.
Largely because I don't want it to be true.

It's not a myth, it's perfectly true.
In terms of having home-grown players for Europe, it makes absolutely no sense.
