Quite a bit of talk that the Community shield game might be one played internationally in the near future. Not surprised, still see the EPL becoming like the NFL with a couple of meaningful International games.

QUOTE (kurtsimonw @ Aug 16 2014, 01:17 PM) Moyes first league game in charge was a 4-1 win away at Swansea. So if this holds up and United lose at home, van Gaal could be in trouble. United do look horrific. Did they actually make any improvements to the squad? They look the same as they did last season... And what is up with the formation Van Gaal is using, they look so awkward out there

Herrera looks questionable at the moment, all I've heard is praise for him. He seems to not want to be tackled too, goes over and complains every single time.
Januzaj and Young have been the only decent-ish players for United.

And what is up with the formation Van Gaal is using, they look so awkward out there They signed Herrera who, as Ash mentioned, looks crap so far. The only other notable signing was Shaw, who's injured. Fletcher, Lingaard, Jones, Smalling and Blackett aren't good enough. Stupid to play a 3-5-2 when you got rid of your 2 regular starting CBs and didn't replace either.

I don't understand why they have players like Fletcher and Jones on the pitch, for us one can understand having duds like Muntari and the like, we don't have any actual money to spend. But United? They reportedly gave Van Gaal an unlimited budget to work with this summer and yet they still have these kind of players starting games for them, their midfield is probably worse than ours if you count Mata as an attacker.
There are top players like Khedira and Di Maria not wanted by Real, Reus has a buy out they can easily activate, they could easily improve their squad with the resources that they have at their disposal

The team is far worse than last year too without Vidic & Evra, even Rio is an improvement on some of those defenders.
Aside of Januzaj & Rooney in fits & starts that United team is horrendous.
Also Herrera looks bang average, but he's little & Spanish so you can't criticse.
