Kagawa was always my first choice in anyways

- better in the MF role
- Not as skillful as Hazard but a very clever player who is capable of pulling the strings
- Rooney is our number 10
- The price allows us to have more available for other players, like a DMF
 
Hazard is an amazing player, but yes he wants to play the same role as Rooney. So Hazard would've been stuck on one of the wings where he would soon start throwing a hissy fit.

Kagawa is the exact type of player we need. No doubt. Would love if we signed Kevin Strootman to partner up with him. Kagawa and Strootman passing balls out wide to our wingers and up front to our strikers, man oh man that would be awesome. Not to mention Strootman can play the holding position quite well.
 
Watch him play for Holland in the Euros. 22 years old and has 10 caps for a Dutch team which is loaded with midfield talent. He's a great player.

Wth happened to Gaitan? I thought he was coming to us but now nothing. Just goes to show, damn media.

I doubt we'll get Munian. He's only 19 so Bilbao will want to hold onto him. If they do sell him, $$$. Martinez would also be a great buy.
 
haha yeah him too ...i just see now some deal was meant to happen with fabio and macheda moving

but alot of talk

until they with fergie holding the shirt i dont get hopes up
 
United is world's most popular FC

New international survey finds 19-times English champions have 659 million followers

The largest global football follower survey ever conducted has today named Manchester United the world’s most popular club, with 659 million followers worldwide.

The survey was carried out by leading market research agency, Kantar, and gathered 54,000 respondents from 39 countries. The club that Forbes recently named the most valuable in world sport was identified as the favourite team of 659 million followers around the world. Kantar found that football remains the world’s most popular sport, with 1.6 billion followers globally, reinforcing the results of a recent FIFA survey which produced a similar figure.

Richard Arnold, the club's Commercial Director, commented on the long-term strategy that has made Manchester United the number one club in the world’s number one sport:

"Manchester United has built on a tradition of iconic players, iconic teams and iconic achievements – Beckham, Busby, Benfica ’68. Now our games are broadcast to 1.15 billion households globally, to an audience of over four billion a year.

Manchester United resonates with followers all over the world, and it’s their passion and support that means year after year we can continue doing what matters most to everyone at the club: playing attacking football and competing for trophies.

"The growth in our followers since 2007 correlates with what we have seen as we have rolled out our new approach to reaching fans. From the increase in TV viewership from two to four billion last season, to the demand from millions of media subscribers in 72 countries through our media partnerships, to the way the footage of Wayne’s overhead kick echoed around the world on social media, we can see that the connections to the club are growing exponentially.

"With the DHL Champ19ns Trophy tour we have seen that passion from our community of followers face to face in 38 cities across the globe, and there does not seem to be a beach or street in the world where you do not see the Aon and Nike shirt.

"This survey shows that our family of followers is going from strength to strength."

At least we have a manager. And Champions League football. And no racist twats. And didn't end the season 37 points behind the leaders. And a future.
 
Always wondered how they do these surveys though? How do they get 659 million from 54 000 respondents? Don't get me wrong, I don't doubt it but just don't understand the process behind it. I don't remember being asked which team I support. Yeah I understand it's not feasible to ask every single person on the planet which club they support

It's possible, but I really don't see SAF coming down here for a friendly against mid table teams... he'll just send the reserve league thru

United always send the reserve team down. When they were down here a few years ago to play against Chiefs and Pirates in that mini tournament, some of the players in the team I had never even heard of, and haven't heard of since. One or two first team players will come with. Rooney usually does.
 
Rooney won't come. I don't think any of the players going to the Euros will.
