United have had easily the most injuries of any top team in Europe...for most of the season we played with 3 or 4 fit defenders, 2 of whom had no previous European experience...
We had a GK fresh to English football who needed time to adapt...half of you clowns were calling for him to be sold halfway through the season...1 goal conceeded in 6 games later and a string of brilliant saves and suddenly not a peep...
In the last 10 games we've managed to keep a steady back line and have been magnificent since...
We're leading the league by 5 points after a season in which a few young inexperienced players were brought into the team and half the squad was scratched off by injury...what more could you want?
Why should he play Pogba now? Until he signs a contract he is only risking losing the league with no assurance of any long term payback...pointless...And why would you ever want to sell Fletcher? Because he's ill? When on form he could stop almost any midfield in the world fro playing, why would you wanto lose that?
Scholes is worshipped by the likes of Xavi and Iniesta...you think SAF wouldn't play him? At 37 he is still the best midfielder in the EPL.
And those hating on Welbeck... last game was classic example as to why SAF has played him all season...he hustles the other team's defense and forces them into mistakes better than anyone else...not the best finisher but it will come with time...has done an excellent job and helped us win alot of games this year...
As for the European talk..yea we did badly..so what? Part of making the young players grow and learn...Smalling, Jones and co would only be better for it...when Butt, Scholes, Giggs, Beckham got schooled in 96-97 in europe and everyone was saying how they're such rubbish, what ended up happening?
We lost one game...so what...every team has their bad days...5 points ahead with 5 games left...plenty to look forward to...and i'm sure in summer SAF would be bolstering his squad and looking for a midfielder...
Btw alot of reporters on twitter have said the Gaitan talk is BS...alot more credibility to Hazard rumours right now as Meulensteen has admitted to...

POO POO TIME!!!
Sir Alex Ferguson is closing in on Nicolas Gaitan and Eden Hazard as he goes in search of a world-class playmaker for Manchester United this summer. The United manager will resume his hunt for a long-term successor to Paul Scholes after failing to land Wesley Sneijder and Samir Nasri last year. Despite Scholes’ sensational form since stepping out of retirement in January, the need to find his replacement remains.
Ferguson always planned to hit the transfer market again this summer and has spent the season narrowing down his targets. Gaitan has been on his radar since United faced Benfica in the Champions League – while he made a personal check on Hazard last month. Ajax’s Christian Eriksen is another name on his shortlist – and he has a long-standing interest in Luka Modric. Gaitan is valued in excess of £20m – but Benfica could be tempted by a deal involving Fabio on loan and a permanent move for Federico Macheda.
The Argentine international has been linked with a move to Old Trafford since December. And despite Ferguson running the rule over a host of alternative options, he remains one of the top names on United’s wanted list. There is a growing belief inside Old Trafford that Modric does not score enough goals to be considered a like for like replacement for Scholes. That, combined with the £40m-plus price tag that Tottenham will hold out for has left Ferguson looking to the continent for other options. Lille’s 21-year-old star Hazard is greatly admired at United and Ferguson watched the Belgian personally watched the Belgian last month as he continues to weigh up a formal bid.
But with Real Madrid, Barcelona, Tottenham, Arsenal and City also interested, Hazard’s price could sky-rocket in the summer and Ferguson would be reluctant to enter an auction. He is confident he could land Eriksen – admitting that Dutch clubs struggle to keep their top talent – but there are question marks over whether the Dane is ready for such a big move yet. Scholes’ incredible form, which has been one of the key factors in United’s charge towards a 20th title, has bought Ferguson more time when it comes to finding another playmaker. But he still intends to move into the transfer market at the end of the season.
