Yeah, so Carrick is out. I guess this partnership is next in line.

Herrera and Fellaini
- Thread starter Shark
- Start date
Fellaini will be sold as he in noway fits van Gaal's system.
Kill me.
Pretty sure we'll get someone in. Obviously, as LVG says, he'll want to start looking at our current players first. But I'm fairly sure he already knows he needs a new CM, and after a few days of training he certainly will.

I think Herrera and Cleverly could work
feck
Herrera - Cleverley - Anderson 
My first thought exactly.
I'm getting used to use being cursed in midfield now though. Whoever put that curse on us is an evil fecker. Probably Jamie Jackson.
Luckily there is a transfer window at the minute.
I'd rather see Herrera and Pearson to be honest. I'd rather have Jones in there as well. Possible even Lou Macari really, as long as it's not Fellaini.
Fellaini won't start in central midfield. More likely we'll play Fletcher there IMO, or even Jones. Fellaini is a target man, not a midfielder.
This is depressing to say the least.
I think it would be Clevs to accompany him....shocking, or Fletcher? That CM he was playing in th WC Wijerhelm or something was useless but he constantly played him. Clevs itt would seem or Rooney.
Herrera and Carrick (even if he was fit): no
Herrera and Fellaini: no
Herrera and Cleverly: no
Herrera and Fletcher: no
Herrera and a CM who isn't at the club yet: yes.

Fellaini is not a Manchester United player full stop. And Herrera and Fletcher? Really? Fletcher's a good squad player to have like Carrick but neither of them should be starters anymore.
£60 million CM partnership, we'll walk the title
I'm saying that if Carrick is injured then either Jones or Fletcher are the next choice for the defensive mid. Who else would? None of them are very good really but we might have to make do.
Jesus Christ, I'd rather put Rooney there.
Herrera - Rooney
Mata

Mata
I would rather see Herrera start alongside Cleverley as two exuberant #8's in an unbalanced midfield than see Herrera start alongside a very poor #6 in Fellaini.
Van Gaal wants intelligence, speed and creativity Fellaini's only skill is chest control.
Is this serious? If anything Clev or even Rooney should be there before Fellaini
Well yes of course they are. But why in earth would we have to make do? There's still over a month of the transfer window left. We'll be seeing new midfielders come in even if we have to pay over the odds for them. And when Van Gaal said 3/4 weeks for assessment in his conference, I think for some players, he'll only need 1 or 2.
No it's not serious at all.
In all seriousness though, he did cost 26m, so considering that, he'd be next in line.
I still think, Fellaini will be one of the first players LvG wants to get rid of. He is just useless in his system and we won't find a place for him. I don't expect him to leave anyway, because we will also struggle to find a club, who pays us a decent fee. But I really can't see him as starter, wouldn't be surprised if he rather prefer Rooney, Jones, Cleverley or a young player^^
Yeah I call bull.
I dont rate Fellaini as a pure DM so I dont have much faith in that middle 2.
I can see this. I can see Van Gaal trying to use Cleverley as he used Classie in the semi final and third placed play off once De Jong got injured again. Herrera will do the Wijlnaldum/De Guzman role and Mata/Rooney/Shinji will do the Sneijder bit.
This would suck ****** balls, we'd be aiming to simply hold our position from last season if this happened, thankfully I am certain it wont.
Anyone and Fellaini is a recipe for disaster. You would need Xavi and Iniesta at their peaks in the team to form some sort of a midfield with him in it
I'd rather Powell than any if Cleverley, Anderson, Flecther or Fellaini.
Fellaini won't be playing.
Fellaini, Jones in midfield, Anderson... I'd rather Louie to promote Pearson and show the lad how things work in the first team.
Herrera definitely needs someone more aware in defensive tasks to cover his ass when he's attacking from the depth of formation. So far Fellaini simply can't guarantee that.

I think Pereira has more chances of becoming a regular under van Gaal than Fellaini.
On what?
"etc, etc, etc, we are the best technically.... what was the question?"
I actually think Cleverley and Herrera will be a good CM pairing and they will work great together. I think we might see the best of Cleverley and he's one player in this Clear out i don't want to let go and LVG will really like him, he's an ideal player to the style of play he wants to implement along with Herrera that we possess right now.
If that's the midfield we go into the season with, I wouldn't expect much from Herrera at all. He'll spend half his time picking up the pieces after the microphone headed one's valiant but fruitless effort at a controlled first touch.
How do you know what he wants?On what?
Actually they compliment each other
Herrera is good, Fellaini is shit
