He's absolutely a Manchester United type of player. Amazing hit on the ball, great positioning, pragmatic passing, a real box to box midfielder, can keep his cool in any situation.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Fabinho and this guy and we're set for midfield.
Fact, throw in Dier too for good measure, not that I desperately want him but just because it would be nice to be overstocked with cm's for a change.
If he can do similar amount of things Vidal is doing, it's a grand slam for United and could also unlock Pogba.
I agree:
box to box like to vidal (but vidal at his best is stronger)
defending like kante
probably our most important player in this 3 years (I would like he remains with us)
His best is in a midfield of 3. In Man utd:
pogba nainggo
verratti (eh.. or why not a bid for Marchisio? smart player)
He is 29, so he can leave Roma, 40m€
yes, he smokes, drink, go to disco, etc but until now you would not say it, in the next years who knows..
Ah stop would ya your giving me a wettie
Would rather Naby Keita. Probably not as good at the minute, but much younger and would be much cheaper I would guess.
Hmm would be a good signing but signing players from Roma is like trying players from spurs. like pulling teeth.
He'd be my favoured option too. Really don't like the sounds of paying a big fee for a 29 year old disco dancing smoking drunkard to do the legwork in our midfield.
I like this guy. He has a very unique way of tackling!
Midfield throwback. Proper box to box. Really like him and have suggested him a few times on the forum. Would love him at the club. If we could get him and a holding mid to replace Carrick, then we'd be looking very strong in the midfield department.
Pogba
Herrera
Nainggolan
Fellaini
Fabinho
Carrick
This would be a perfect set of midfielders if we were to play a midfield three next season, in my opinion.

Nainggolan can also play as a holding midfielder, but like Herrera, he is so much better as a number 8, where he is able to get up and down the pitch.Fabinho/Carrick
Very few midfielders out there who does what Fellaini does. He's very unique, and because of that, I'm hoping Jose keeps him.
Excellent is an understatement
Nainggolan and Fabinho would be immense.
Unique at what exactly? He's mediocre at almost everything.
Replace Fellaini with Pereira and it would be perfect.
God please no!
Would be amazing for us in a 3 man midfield with Pogba. Doubtful that we can sign him though.
Why not?
I said in another thread that I think we should keep him this summer but that involves bringing in two midfielders and having him as the 5th.
Pogba, Nainggolan, Fabinho, Herrera and Fellaini. Fellaini gets to leave in January depending on how we are doing in the cups.
I'd rather have Pogba, Herrera, Nainggolan, another CM(?), Pereira, Carrick as last choice.
Or you could just give Pereira game time
Great player, but imo his best form was a few seasons ago and he plays more as a CAM now. If he's brought in to play as a box to box, he's still a very good player, but his level will drop very soon (if it hasn't already), given his age and play style.
Good player, but not great and nothing like what United need in midfield. Would make little sense to spend big money on a player around his peak, when a long-term, high-tempo sitting midfielder is what the club need to partner Pogba long-term. A Keane to his Scholes.
The link to Thiago Maia in the press today is something I think would be far far better.

And he won't completely take herrera's starting spot unless he performs really well! Great backup option with the potential to get the starting spot based on performance, great mention that.
This is the problem, we never want players in their prime and always want young players with great potential so if we sell them we'll make money We constantly moan on here these days about not challenging for the title and going backwards but don't want any established players either.
Well, you only have to watch him and see.
Target man when we attack, gets back and defends when not in possession.
He's just different. Teams really struggle to handle him, at times. So much so that he's had the respect of being man marked.
Definitely someone I'd like to have on the bench to bring on.
Be nice to see Pereira, but I would prefer to see him as a roaming winger i.e. Coutinho, Mata, Isco, etc, rather than a centre midfielder.
If we play with a three man midfield, even as 5th choice, Fellaini will still get more than enough minutes.
Me likey
May i add he is a beast in Fifa 17, which is absolutely relevant when choosing players to sing irl
Agreed.
What a signing he would be for us.
Always had him down as the perfect midfield signing. Along with Vidal.

Haven't watched a lot of Roma games this season, and even the ones I did manage to catch, didn't really pay any attention to Nianggolan.
So I did the typical transfer muppet thing and looked at a few heat maps of him, looks more like a player who plays #8. We would still need a player to play in front of our back 4.
Can't say if he'd be any better than Herrera but we could certainly do with a little depth in midfield. Anyone but Fellaini please.

He's class. Why don't we sign players with this profile a few seasons earlier and bed them in slowly though? It will be big money and he's hit his peak now. I would still like to see him here though. He looks very similar to Vidal who was my muppet breakdown point (sorry Paul)
I'd probably rather keita due to his age and potential but once again that will probably be silly money too.

Nainggolan and Fabinho, that would be perfect
It would, although it may make for a crowded midfield with Pogba, Herrera, and Carrick here. Also, we would almost certainly have to get rid of Fellaini and loan Perreira out yet again.
Probably yeah. I've always liked Fellaini and he brings something unique to the squad, but he hasn't been at his best for a long time so I wouldn't really mind selling him. Loaning out Pereira again isn't ideal, but if it is because we're bringing in two top class midfielders then I wouldn't complain. Pogba, Nainggolan and Fabinho is close to the perfect midfield in my eyes.
Chesting Elbowing Fouling...err and a few others
Prefer Veratti
