Second position? Does he mean right back (often the number 2 shirt in the good old days)?? Valencia first choice still then??Ali64 wrote:LVG "We have brought Darmian for the second position behind Valencia"
Hard to predict their line up ?

The back 4 is the problem.Edmondson wrote:Maybe one or two arrivals to come, but what's the feeling on Man Utd strongest XI and understudies for this season?
-----------------De Gea--------------
Darmian----Jones---Blind----Shaw
--Herrera--Schneiderlin--Schwein
---Mata------Rooney-----Depay----
Di Maria?
Carrick?
Smalling?
Rojo?
Fellaini?
Regarding Blind, it seems that LVG is favouring a left footed player playing on the left side of central defence. As it stands it would appear that Blind will play against Spurs as the left sided central defender unless Rojo is match-fit - which appears unlikely given his late return after the Copa America. With this in mind it appears Smalling and Jones will be fighting for the same spot on the right side of defence. Evans is not even in the frame now. Of course if United manage to pull-off the Sergio Ramos signing we could be looking at a Ramos and Rojo first choice pairing.Darbyand wrote:Baffling to me he'd play Depay centrally and Mata still wide. If he goes with that personnel seems to make sense to play Young and Depay wide and restore Mata to his favoured number 10.
Also I'd be surprised if Blind keeps Smalling out of the team despite yesterday's starting XI.
Do I trust an article that thinks Ashley Young was first choice RB????llama wrote:LVG says he has already decided 3 of his back four that will start the season.
" I think I shall play Shaw with Blind and Matteo Darmian and then the right central defenders position I have to consider"

Yep but tricky to know context from the article (first game? all season?) especially with them translating LVG's dodgy English.llama wrote:It was LVG's comments I thought were of interest, rather than the article itself.
