Doesn't it just.

De Gea is already really solid, Van Persie, Rooney and Mata are all of unquestionable quality, Di Maria will only add to that. He had a superb year last season, when most expected him to be dropped because of Bale's arrival.

In between the two ends of the pitch? Ridiculously low on quality. It doesn't matter whether Van Gaal plays 2 or 3 centre backs, they've got no quality in the middle of the defense or midfield. Fullback/wing backs are also problem positions he has nothing in bar Luke Shaw who is very young.

I just don't get the Di Maria signing tactically. He was meant to be playing this 3-5-2 formation he used for Holland. But in that system you need wing backs like Baines/Coleman not out and out wingers like Di Maria who won't defend.

Priority for United has to be centre back and centre midfield? Yet he seems happy with Blackett, Jones and Smallling and is even talking about giving Smalling a big pay rise

Any other lower-league side smashing us 4-0 and I'd be congratulating them... But not MK Dons. Still a joke of a club, and the added 16k on their attendance tonight was hilarious. Where's that Dons apologist who came on here calling Man Utd 'Franchise FC'

That guy was a ****ing ****head.

I hate the relocation of clubs and think it shouldn't be allowed. But I don't blame MK Dons for it. IMO the fault lies with Sam Hamman and the FA. Sam Hamman wanted to move Wimbledon somewhere else because then he'd get more money for flogging the club. He wanted to move the club to Dublin but the Irish FA told them where to go. The English FA weren't bothered though and would have probably allowed it, which just shows what they are.

If Dublin were allowed in the PL then they'd have probably been a massive club, and it would have probably meant Rangers and Celtic joining up too.

Crystal Palace are going down.

Manchester United are a laughing stock at the moment

Hopefully this signing for United will end all the sanctimonious self righteous ''our success is pure because we didn't buy it......like chelsea'' that we've had to endure over the years.

Spent a ton in the last year on fellaini, mata and di maria and they are a real pile of sh*t. The latest signing makes no sense at all. It's like they thought ''hey we've kind of bombed in the last 18 months in the transfer market, who can we sign that makes a statement?''

Will it 8o11ocks.

They'll still claim purity because they've "earned" all their money through football.

But hopefully they won't be getting any success anyway with the ridiculous way they've been buying.

It will be interesting what role Balotelli is given at Liverpool. Whether he can form a partnership with Sturridge. I suspect they'll both want to play the same role.

Despite all of the off field craziness that surrounds Balotelli, the basic problem is that he has far too many stinkers. There aren't enough moments of magic to compensate for the days when he's totally ineffective or worse.

If Rodgers can convert the 3 out of 10 performances into 6 out of 10, he'll be a bargain. But nobody else has managed it.

Man United now have the most expensive squad ever assembled according to the press. I haven't checked if their figures are correct. I love the way van gaal admits he doesn't know where he will be playing di Maria lol
