Here's one for you. What would be your Manchester United Team of the Season?
Mine would be;
De Gea
Valencia Bailly Rojo Blind
Herrera Pogba
Lingard Mata Rashford
Ibrahimovic.

Harry
I would pretty much agree with that, maybe the wig in for linders.
11 May 2017 14:13:14
If the Wig doesn't make the top 11 he is surely runner up. those red cards really screwed us. also Romero in the EL needs a nod as well.
11 May 2017 14:23:13
Agree with Jred. Like it or not Fellaini has been one of our better players this season.
11 May 2017 14:45:15
Interesting when you lay the team out like that Harry. We have played well over 60 games and looking at the team (which fundamentally is hard to argue too much with, the cases for replacements are there, but nobody would be going crazy about it), can't think of too many stand out performances from half that team.
Rashford, Mata, Lingard - done pretty much nothing this season, played in fits and starts so to speak. Blind done absolutely nothing as well but still makes the team, shows how bad the others have performed if they are all making the team of the year.
Then you have Pogba who has done no more than ok, with Rojo another late comer to the party this season who has done well no doubt.
Makes you realise that if that is our best performers (or close to it) then no wonder we have been rubbish most games this season because most of them have been anonymous most of it. Half that team will all be thinking they have had poor seasons or certainly know they need to do more. The ones not mentioned need to take a long hard look at themselves (Fellaini possible exception) .

Would agree with that Harry, how about dream team for next season? (realistic)
De Gea
Semedo Lindelof Bailly Tierney
Herrera Pogba
Mkhitaryan Griezmann Rashford
Belotti.

Beast
I agree with that a lot of them have been under par .
I was really looking forward to seeing miki this year but he has struggled, with a bit of luck he will kick on next season .
He will have to tho, he is 29 next year so time not on his side needs to find his feet early next season.
11 May 2017 14:58:12
De Gea
Semedo Lindelof Bailly that young Spanish fella
Fabinho Pogba Herrera
Griezeman Mhiki Martial.
11 May 2017 14:59:33
Dear gea,
Tony v Bailly smalling Shaw
Kroos fabinho pogba
Bale rashford martial.
11 May 2017 17:13:53
Have to agree with you Beast.
Very sad that not a lot of those players would get over a 6/ 10 for this seasons displays. I think Bailly/ Herrera and Tony V the only ones close to an 8.
Just voted for Herrera Player of the Year as well.
11 May 2017 17:22:57
Fellaini has three functions:
A: loose the ball
B: commit a foul
C: pass backwards
90% of the time he does one of the afore mentioned and I for one cannot wait till he's gone. I find him extremely frustrating to watch, I'm surprised this doesn't now appear to be the general consensus. Agree with all the other comments though.
11 May 2017 18:46:24
DDG
Valencia, Bailly, nobody, nobody
Carrick, Herrera
nobody, nobody, Rashford
Zlatan.

Agree with the team pretty much - only others with a shout would be Carrick, Fella and Mikhi but none of those have excelled. Also agree with Beast that this is the stark reality of why we've been so poor, as half of that team have not been great this season! Only Ddg, Tony V, Bailly, Ibra and Herrera have played to the required level or higher. I don't blame this all on the manager - I think both player and manager share responsibility when it comes to individual performance levels. To be fair, some players have done better than expected when played e. g. Rojo, Tony V, Jones, Fella, Lingard. Again the praise for those performances should be shared between the manager and the players themselves.
It's interesting to note that none of the three behind the ST have excelled this season when this area has often been seen as a strength! Maybe we do need Griezmann after all - either that or the likes of Martial, Rashford and Mikhi must step up. We will certainly need to spread the high performance levels out further next season in order to compete on all fronts. One shining light is that the likes of Pogba, Martial, Mikhi and Rashford should naturally improve with age and/ or EPL experience.
