Spanishsun: If Giggs and Scholes can still get a game what does that say about the younger players in the squad? They are just not good enough..and money cannot be an excuse...Man U have always had more than most teams....spent badly and overpaid in the past... 35 million for Berbatov...what a waste....anyone remember Djemba Djemba? So bad they named him twice...or Kleberson???


Personally I think Giggs and Scholes are playing well this season. Okay United may have no money to spend (Despite what Fergie and Gill both say) but who is available at this stage in this season? Man U have always had more money than most teams?? What about City? What about Chelsea? They have more money than United. Do I have to remind you that Chelsea are BELOW united in the premiership table? confused

As for spent badly and overpaid in the past, which team hasn't at one stage or another? Okay you mention Djemba Djemba and Kleberson and yes, you are right about those two but a better example would have been Veron. He wasn't worth half the money United paid for him. As for Berbatov, he was joint top scorer in the league last season. He hasn't scored much this season but its not easy to score from the bench.

Your argument is hardly very balanced now, is it? You mention the bad players but don't mention the good ones like Rooney, Vidic (although he is injured right now), Nani, Valencia, Welbeck, Young, Chicarito or Evra to name a few. Then you have young players like Cleverly, Pogba, Amos, Phil Jones, Chris Smalling, Ezekiel Fryers, The Da Silva brothers, Da Gea.

If United are so bad, please explain to me how they are second in the league....

Even without Pogba, my point still stands. The future for United is not as bleak as some people think.

Bad in comparison to previous United teams is what I suggested.
The premier league standard is not as good as before, so when u say United are second it's cause the other teams are crap. Are Arsenal and Chelsea teams as strong as previous years? No way... Try looking at Uniteds form in Europe....two wins in CL group stages against the romanian equivelant of shamrock rovers...and the away win was with two penalties...a good european side would have murdered utd. that night they were so bad.....and now the embarrassment of the europa league...and 2 consecutive home defeats..
Saying they are still second in the league doesn't prove anything.
Uniteds results in europe tell the true picture this year.

Maybe. But not the whole picture. United are still second in the league with only two points behind City with an easier run-in and still have to play City away. City have some tough games to play including Chelsea and Arsenal. Oh and United are not out of the Europa League yet. If United win 2-0 over there, then they go through.

DUBLINGUY1973: Strange how he was a second half substitute for United against West Brom today then
Worst utd team ever? Still top of the league by a point though. Doesn't say much for the other teams in the premiership, does it?

Chris Smalling is a good, young player. Okay so he hasn't become a household name yet but he will someday. He has already got a few england caps. Not bad for a nobody, huh?


I agree the premiership sides are crap...
Bayern Munich showed what should have been done to Basel..
7-0 for anyone who didn't see the result.
