Dr. Gonzo Posted July 27, 2021 Posted July 27, 2021 Yeah that's a serious signing that addresses one of the areas on the pitch they needed addressing. AWB Slabhead Varane Shaw is a pretty solid back 4 on paper - maybe AWB's the weak link there but he's still young and they spent a lot on him for his potential, and I think with Shaw there's a decent example of why it might be good to stick with a player you've spent a lot of money on for the potential. After a few seasons of steady improvement for Solskjaer... I think this season is where there's the most pressure for him to deliver results immediately. They've had a big summer and made two very good signings in Sancho and Varane - I'm not saying they should be nailed on title winners, because City's squad still makes them favourites in almost every regard imo, but they should be looking to have a more serious title challenge and at least a long run in the CL. Dunno if they've got the depth in the squad to do both of those and go on at least one good domestic cup run, but the CL and the league are the more serious things they should be going for on day one of the season. Obviously if they suffer some sort of horrible injury crisis, expectation should be scaled back (although that didn't really happen with us other than amongst Liverpool fans) - but they should be looking to actually challenge City domestically and to go further in the CL than they've been able to now.
LFCMike Posted July 27, 2021 Posted July 27, 2021 It is a big signing. GK still a problem for them though
Smiley Culture Posted July 27, 2021 Posted July 27, 2021 On paper a starting XI as good as any, right now. They and OGS simply have to deliver this year.
Chaaay AFC Posted July 27, 2021 Posted July 27, 2021 Amazing window from United so far. They really have improved the first XI, interesting to see if OGS is the man to take them to that next level. No excuses for him now as mentioned.
Lucas Posted July 27, 2021 Posted July 27, 2021 Solid signing, but when Bamford shrugs him off to put it in the bottom corner on the opening day, questions will be asked if he can do it in this league.

Subscriber JoshBRFC+ Posted July 28, 2021 Subscriber Posted July 28, 2021 Some defence for United. Some team... if they had a proper manager they'd be winning the league. Anything less than 2nd is a failure with the players they have.
