Official: Manchester United sign Juan Mata

Do you all think Luiz and Ramires is much better than what Man Yoo have?

Because i don't, yet i don't see anyone saying how Chelsea needs to desperately strengthen it.

They get away with it because they have Oscar, Willian and Hazard between that and what ever striker they play.

Mata, Roonay and who ever else they decide to play is not exactly anything to sniff at either.

The X Factor is Moyes, but if he can find the balance there's no reason why he can't make it work irrelevant of the midfield.

Not everyone has a midfield duo of Bayern levels and are still successful as Chelsea prove.

People overrate how important it is.

Maybe because they don't agree with you.

Mole if Juan does officially transfer to United; can you please provide your thoughts on how he should be implemented realistically within Moyes semantic? How would you allay his presence with the fringe players and the current starters, along with his role. Would he need to evolve his role to integrate or continue in his natural fashion?

Do you see him as a Boxista/LWB in the United tradition or slotted in a role built around him?

A concrete offer? Rumours were abound that they and PSG had an interest, but they have had three weeks to pursue any transfer.

Yeah because Ramires and Luiz a centre back by trade.... is a fantastic midfield pairing   

Arq i have no idea, but i know what i would do.

As i keep saying Moyes is the X-Factor, the players in the front 4 is excellent and a top class manager would get the best from them but Moyes i'm not so sure.

Mole, Luiz has only recently been playing CM. And he's terrible at it. Ferguson would have exploited that weakness on Sunday. Mostly the CM partnership this season has been Lampard-Ramires. Lampard is not great there but provides great stability. Anyways, now Chelsea has Matic.

Get rid of Moyes, bring in AVB. That's a guy that can get the attack firing on all cylinders.

Exactly my point lol.

No one mentions how average your midfield pairings are though.

There's a few reasons why, for starters Mourinho doesn't make it about them like SAF did for many years.

And they have fantastic attacking midfielders who can do it all.

Arguably Man Yoo have this now, the issue can Moyes do what SAF has done for many years and what Mourinho is doing.

The players are not the issue.

Yeah, because what works for one will work for all.   

You'll be telling us how Newcastle are the 8th biggest club in the world next.

Ed Woodward NOT ‏@woodward_ed 32m
Just a reminder, the deal is subject to agreeing personal terms. Mind you, Mata is unlikely to turn down our £20k pw offer #mufcmata #mufc

sorry but i have to laugh

great follow on twitter

You're underrating Ramires & Mikel for some reason.

Ramires is possibly the most underrated midfielder in the Premier League.

I remember some folks saying Denilson was better than him.

Wonder why Spurs struggled badly, then.

I can only assume CBarca was just joking!

The only thing I like more than blatant sarcasm is when it flies over someone's head.

in August about the Rooney's deal Mourinho said  more or less " Moyes considers him as second choice therefore it doesn't make sense  to keep him , there is nothing of wrong to give a player to a rival in the same league"

I thought he was hypocritical to be fair, I thought "let alone if Mourinho would sell an important player to a rival club " .. and instead given the recent event, I have to say that I was wrong, it was really sincere and coherent. I did not think he ever sold Mata in January to an English club

But, you know, Man Utd are not a direct opponent this season. I'm sure Mou would not have sold Mata to Arsenal or Man City.

It would be a shame if Liverpool somehow sign Salah and Chelsea refuse to sell Mata to United...

Dat class to charge the highest ticket prices for a team that hasn't won anything in years  

Why is an ajax fan talking about being relevant? Go away watch your poverty team in the poverty league.

Only if you do the same.
