ROY KEANE UNIMPRESSED BY DIVE

I really wanted to edit out the ref's face to Roy Keane with his beard but I can't edit! Any tips?

Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane after Ashley Young diving repeatedly.

On Tuesday Ashley Young dived yet again against CSKA Moscow in order to request a penalty but the ref wasn't interested either. Roy Keane has been questioning whether Young has the credentials to represent the football club calling him "an absolute disgrace." And of all people Paul Scholes had more to add saying to BT Sport: "Ashley needs to stop doing this. He knows himself, but it's just a habit and he can't get rid of it."

 However before Ashley's dive, Wayne Rooney and Ander Herrera forced a similar somersault or remark yet no criticism. Racism by the Manchester United legends? In my opinion diving to save your team from dropping in the group stages of the Champions League,
i'm fine with it. Ashley Young is not the only player to dive, of course there's others such as Arjen Robben, Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Luis Suarez. So I think the criticism from everyone especially the Manchester United legends are biased and are truly unfair. I honestly think it's dedication!

CRITICISM FROM SCHOLES?

Former Manchester United player and legend Paul Scholes has criticised Louis Van Gaal's side style of play, describing it as a lack of creativity and risk. 

Paul Scholes retired the same time as Sir Alex Ferguson at the end of the 2012/13 season, but before that the English Midfielder was the heart of creativity in the squad. Ever since that artistry has been lost. Louis Van Gaal has tried to resolve this issue by adding Ander Herrera, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Morgan Schneiderlin. However this season in total Ander Herrera has only made one assist, and Bastian Schweinsteiger and Morgan Schneiderlin have made no assists! Paul Scholes is 100% correct. The question is who is the resolve to the midfield crisis?

Here's my list: Parejo, Victor Vazquez, Eremenko or Dimitri Payet. Later, Louis Van gaal responded saying: "I don't agree with his opinion," although his opinion is surely fact. Who would you put in your shopping list for a creative midfielder?

MANCHESTER UNITED SCHNEIDERLIN AND SCHWEINSTEIGER! - PROBLEMS?

Manchester United are off to USA for preseason with two new faces! 

Manchester United have officially announced the signing of Bastian Schweinsteiger and Morgan Schneiderlin from Bayern Munich and Southampton. Bastian Schweinsteiger is a highly experienced midfielder, captain of Bayern Munich and the German National who he led to win the World Cup last year in Brazil. He has worked along side Louis Van Gaal and perfectly matches and fits his style and philosophy, i cant wait for next season! Morgan Schneiderlin is a player that fans of the Barclays Premier League would have known already. The French midfielder was previously linked to Arsenal but joined Manchester United. Manchester United's defence has very much improved. Morgan also represented the French National team and also, as far as i remember won BPL team of the season for 2014/15 (?). Now the bad news. What about Ander Herrera, Mata, Marouane Fellaini, Michael Carrick etc. Where do they fit on the jigsaw? I can't wait to find out how Louis Van Gaal might test out different formations during the preseason tour. Also i've heard people say: "Oh what about their strikers, Manchester United don't have any strikers!" Well when you have midfielders like this and this do you really need much strikers, all you need is Wayne Rooney! But at least for now, i am pretty sure that Louis Van Gaal won't spend £39.4 million without knowing how to use. I am really enjoying this window! Now, who's next?

MANCHESTER UNITED TRANSFER - FACT OR FICTION?

1. Mats Hummels (fact) - Mats Hummels, has been on the Manchester United radar for a long tim e now and i think Hummels might be joining Manchester United this summer. I remember when Ander Herrera was linked to Manchester United for one or two seasons and eventually he joined, and i think that might  happen with Hummels. And it makes sense winning the  World Cup last season and the decreasing value of Borussia Dortmund with all the big German stars leaving and even the manager!

2. Nathaniel Clyne (fact) - Manchester United have a lack of option in that Right back position, from the playing of Antonio Valencia in that position we know there's a missing piece in the Jigsaw! And Nathaniel Clyne fits that role. He has also had a few spells and appearances for England so he could be a another player on his way to  "ye" Old Trafford!

3. Gareth Bale (fiction) I have nothing to say regarding this!

4. David De Gea (fiction) On my opinion i don't see David De Gea leaving Manchester United, at this time anyway. He loves Manchester United! But its still up to him!

Manchester United in the lead to sign Laporte!

A host of clubs are looking for the signature of Aymeric Laporte. But guess who's leading? Manchester United! If we want another centre back this is the one. He represents the U21 French National team,, 20 years of age and plays for Ander Herrera's former club Athletico Bilbao. Who needs Varane?

Manchester United boost - Injury comeback

Ander Herrera is ready to return back to the Premier league next Monday as Manchester United clash against West Bromwich Albion. The Spaniard is returning from an injury to his rib but will need to take a pain killing injection before the match

. 

New Physio to solve Injury Crisis?

Louis Van Gaal is trying to solve he injury crisis by signing new Physio from Southampton, Matt Radcliffe. At the moment 9 first team players are stuck on the injury list, that includes: Michael Carrick, Phil Jones, Ashley Young, Johnny Evans, Chris Smalling and Ander Herrera. Matt Radcliffe will replace Rob Swire who retired in the summer.

Manchester United considering midweek Friendlies?!

In the absence of Champions League football, Manchester United can lose about 40 million pounds. So in replacement of that Manchester United are considering midweek European friendly football. Money can be earned from us United fans! It will improve players fitness and improve tactics. Finally we will not be losing money and can buy a defender for once!

Just to add that not only Wayne Rooney will be missing the next game against Everton but also Ander Herrera because of an injury.

Manchester United vs West Ham

Manchester United parked the bus till the end of the  minutes keeping the score 2-1. But sadly Wayne Rooney was given a red card whilst West Ham were on the counter attack. Some people might say that he didn't need to do that but if not that ridiculous,  clumsy challenge we wouldn't have got those 3 points today.  But that also means Wayne Rooney will miss the next game which is against Everton who will be very tough contenders. But we still got Radamel Falcao who hasn't scored yet for the club and Robin Van Persie. Ander Herrera is injured but we still have Juan Mata. So hopefully everything will be alright.
After that win we are now standing at 7th in the league.

Paul Scholes debut anniversary!

On this date 20 years ago. Paul Scholes made his debut for Manchester United scoring two goals in 2-1 game at the age of nineteen! Ander Herrera said: 'I hope one day I can play like Paul Scholes'. And just to add that the 5-3 lose to Leicester City was truly unfair and bad refeering by Mark Clatenburg once again!
