Nemanja Vidic has released a statement to ManUtd.com, that he has made the decision to retire after just recently being released by Internazionale at the age of 34. Nemanja Vidic represented Manchester United between January 2006 and May 2014 helping the team to win five premier league titles, three league cups, the Champions League and the Club World Cup. The Serbian commented on his retirement: "The injuries I have had in the last few years have taken their toll." He also said: "big thank you to the fans for their support over the years." He has had a wonderful career and is mos definitely, my favourite player all time. FACT.

THIS IS EMBARRASSING

If you have me on your facebook or Twitter, you might have seen my recent post of a video showing an interview with a United fan who is complaining about Manchester United, the players, the manager and just recently the executive of the club, Ed Woodward! And yet they call themselves Manchester United fans! It's crazy and embarrassing for such a highly respected club. Now there are two arguments to do with the crisis with the club at the moment. Some people are in support of it because they hate Van Gaal, literally. And the other side, like me, support whatever manager is there, as long as we are sitting high up in the table and actually notice the good things e.g David De Gea staying. Three years ago, Sir Alex Ferguson retired and released his autobiography. I picked this quote out from it: "The club stood by me. All my staff stood by me. The players stood by me. So your job now is to stand by our new manager. That is important." Have us United fans done that in the last three years? In order for Manchester United to succeed, the fans need to back the manager. Yes, David Moyes struggled, but he wasn't given the chance or the support and neither is Van Gaal.

FULL BACKS IN DEMAND

Louis Van Gaal has revealed his longing for full backs in a recent press conference. And he's right, Manchester United are lacking full backs. This season and last season, Ashley Young has been shifted into the role of a left back. However, Ashley Young has been ruled out for a very long period of time, after picking up an injury. This means that the only full back that is fully fit is Matteo Darmian. Louis Van Gaal said: "I need full-backs. We are looking for a level but clubs don't want to sell. It is difficult. You think it's so easy." But it was easy selling Patrice Evra and Rafael. But we need to move on, who is fit to add depth to our full backs? Here's my list:
1. Jose Luis Gaya
2. Ricardo Rodriguez
3. Mattia De Sciglio
4. Fabio Coentrao (We might here this one in the papers non-stop!)
5. Seamus Coleman

Is there any players that I have missed out? comment below! I really enjoy reading them.

ATTENTION LOUIS!

Edinson Cavani has been rumoured with a move to Manchester United in the last two years, and I think now, we actually need to consider signing him up, immediately. There are so many teams in for this guy and there's so many reasons why. In the last couple of posts, I have mentioned Wayne Rooney working well alongside another striker, and Edinson Cavani is the best option. The Uruguayan has scored 12 goals in 21 appearances. Fantastic! But what's the chances of Manchester United signing this goal machine? Well, if you don't already, Edinson Cavani plays for Paris St Germain. The first connotation of PSG is Zlatan Ibrahimovic! So, most of the time, Edinson Cavani is pushed out on the wing in order to cater for the Swedish legend. So this frustrates him. As we all know, Manchester United are struggling to score goals, but Edinson Cavani is a player that can turn this all around. Which goalscorer would you like to see at Old Trafford? Comment Below!

GOODBYE VALDES :(

It's official now that Victor Valdes is departing Manchester United after signing a loan move to Belgian side Standard Liege. He tweeted: Thank you all for your support over during these months of hard work for me. I will never forget! See you soon!" David de Gea responded: "We learn a lot from the best! Good luck my friend in this new stage!" This was expected after the quarrel between Louis Van Gaal and the ex Barcelona keeper over playing him for the reserves team. It seems as if it's not only Valdes who hates Van Gaal but also Angel Di Maria who left after one season at the club! The only ever game Valdes played for the first team was the final game of the season when he came on as a substitute and boy, oh boy, he shined, and really sent a message to Louis van Gaal! It's sad when Manchester United lose great players like this, but we hope for all the best for him and the rest of his football career.

Nemanja Vidic - Come Home - Manchester United

THE RETURN OF 'THE WARRIOR'?

Nemanja Vidic has been released by former club Internazionale. If you don't know who Nemanja Vidic is, put simply: He is a legend, yes, a Manchester United legend. Since August the Serbian defender has been battling a back injury.

Now there has been a lot of rumours about Vidic returning to Manchester United, which don't get me wrong, I'd love to see - he's my favourite player! However, Nemanja Vidic is 34. The Premier League could be too demanding for his capabilities especially at his age. However, Manchester United need experience to add to the defence. Chris Smalling, amazing, Daley Blind, okay, but what is lacking is experience. Nemanja Vidic could be the missing fire power to the team and the final piece to the defence jigsaw. 

Sadly though I don't think a move like this will ever happen. But you never know, Louis Van Gaal might want to shut us up about how boring the team is!

THE RETURN OF ADNAN!

Manchester United have cut short the ridiculous loan of Adnan Januzaj to Borussia Dortmund and will soon rejoin the first team despite scoring no goals and three assists in 12 appearances for the German side. So what next? What is Louis Van Gaal looking to try with him?

If you've read the previous posts, I always say how Louis Van Gaal needs to change up the 
formation a bit. Sir Alex ferguson always used Wayne Rooney as a Centre Forward behind the striker and that's where he plays best. He done this with strikers such as Robin Van Persie and Danny Welbeck and it worked. 
At the beginning of the season, Adnan was played as a striker and that position suited him very well. So i'm predicting that instead of buying another striker, Louis Van Gaal might put Adnan Januzaj just in front of Wayne Rooney. In the previous game we saw how the partnership of Wayne Rooney alongside another striker works against Swansea how Anthony Martial and Wayne Rooney worked together. 

Also recently Louis Van Gaal cut short the loan of Will Keane, so maybe he's just looking to add more depth to the United attack or he might've just decided "I've seen enough now, I'm putting you on the transfer list!" I'm anxious, Louis Van Gaal is so unpredictable during the transfer windows!

What would you do if you were Louis Van Gaal? Do you think he should have cut short the loan? How would you use Adnan Januzaj? Feel free to comment!

SADIO MANE WANTS OUT?

Sadio Mane or Sadio money? Sorry guys, I just had to write that. Anyways, Sadio Mane was dropped in Southampton's fixture today against  Norwich City, despite the team positioned at 13th in the league. In the end Southampton went on to lose to Norwich 1-0. Right now you might be thinking, "well what's that to do with Manchester United?" There's a lot of rumours in the articles about Sadio Mane making a move to possibly Manchester United. It might sound ridiculous but what other striker is out there in the market apart from Aubameyang and Lewandowski, who are top scorers in the world but are perfectly settled in Germany, or Javier Hernandez who is shining radiantly! - what an embarrassment! It would be a dream for Manchester United to sign Sadio Mane. He's pacy, quick, strong and small and can bag goals after goals. Isn't that all we need? In conclusion, Manchester United is the home to the theatre of Dreams. Where dreams happen. Anything can happen.

THE WINDOW IS OPEN!

The January transfer window is officially open. So who should Louis Van Gaal release and who do you think he should sign?

To Sell:

1. Wayne Rooney needs to be sold. He is expected to be the best striker in the world and he's unable to perform, he's unable to score goals and I think he's time should be up. Every week the captain of the club is being paid £300,000 every single week! And only to score two goals. If we were to let go of Wayne Rooney, we would have to buy another striker. But who?
 The other option is to change up the formation a bit. This season, every game Louis Van Gaal has stuck with the 4-2-3-1. However Wayne Rooney only works well paired with another striker. Sir Alex always played Wayne Rooney and Robin Van persie together. What a partnership! Even last season when Falcao played alongside Wayne Rooney they played well. Maybe if we bought another striker he'll improve as he feels his position is under threat.

To Sign:

1. Adnan Januzaj needs to be re-signed. Louis Van Gaal played him as a striker at the beginning of the season, and I still don't why he was loaned out to Borussia Dortmund. We all know how good he is, his shooting and dribbling ability and under David Moyes that was really shown.

To be honest with you, Manchester United are in a big trouble. We need a top goalscoring striker, but I just don't who. Please comment below who you would like to see at Manchester United realistically. Do you think we should be looking in a different position please leave what you think in the comment section and maybe your wish will come true.
