A lot of talk from my wifes family in Buenos Aires.They say gonzallo higuain to utd, this can't be true, surely we have as good as him on the bench.

I can't see why, he's a terrible finisher. Using Hernandez would be a better option than him.

haven't seen a lot of him,but he had a terrible world cup.

I'd like to see Hernandez be back up. He is a great impact player and could do a good job for us.
I maintain that we won't sign another striker though and will head into the season with Rooney, Chicharito and Wilson with Depay playing up front also as well as Januzaj and maybe a move for Pedro.

Agree with fresh, depay and Pedro add goals from wide and are versatile. Rooney, pea and Wilson for one spot. Big name striker next summer

With Rooney in the team and a 4-3-3 I have never been able to see how a new striker fits in. Rooney can only play through the middle, and I doubt Van Gaal will go to a 2 in the middle. We will see as the season goes on but I imagine it will be 3 from Herrera, Carrick, Schweinsteiger and Schneiderlin most games.

Fresh, you forgot Blind.
20 Jul 2015 13:13:50
I agree with Fresh, with Rooney in the squad I can't see another big name striker coming in. I always thought it would be a right winger/forward.

It will certainly be a right sided forward.
The left is well stocked: Memphis, Young, Januzaj and Di Maria if he stays.
The centre has a guaranteed starter in Rooney with Hernandez and Wilson back up.
The right is the weakest side, Januzaj could play there and Mata does a good job out there but it is neither players best position. Valencia is awful going forward and simply cannot be effective there. So we need a new starter on the right side.
I see us flogging Di Mara for near enough £55 million - we are in a good position to hold out for the fee we want. We will sign Pedro in the coming days for £22 million and also finalize a deal for Otamendi. Selling Di Maria will pay for Pedro and Otamendi in other words.
That will leave a first choice front 3 of Memphis - Rooney - Pedro with Mata, Young, Januzaj, Chicharito, Wilson all to come in.
We also must not forget the progress of Pereira who I hope really shows what he can do this year.
