Manchester United are yet to face the big guns but have still earned only 5 points from the first 5 premier league games.
The brilliant win against QPR now means absolutely nothing as the defensive fragility were once again on show against Leicester.
United have earned 4 points out of possible 9 against newly promoted teams. Van Gaal could not have asked for better starting fixtures but the results are even worse than Moyes.
In 5 games, United had 7 points under Moyes with relatively much difficult fixtures with the likes of Chelsea and Liverpool.
Manchester United desperately need world class defensive signings such as the likes of Hummels but also a versatile midfielder as well.
Van Gaal is determined to sign Kevin Stroorman from Roma but the Italian side are making things difficult for the Red Devils.
According to Mirror, Manchester United have been asked to fork out 60 million pounds to secure the services of the Netherlands international.
As per the provided link, the midfield star has his heart set on Old Trafford move to unite with his compatriot van Gaal but Roma are in no hurry of selling one of their best players.
However, they are willing to let him leave if United can somehow splash that heavy amount. They are going by well without Kevin as he still remains out injured and would not mind the idea of selling him if they can get that huge amount of cash.

There are better players that position who who can be acquired even cheaply. Man u needs revamping.
Pls Van Gal shud get us a good Goal Keeper,we don’t have Goal keeper yet,and we need 2experience central defenders den a good central midfielder den we are ready to gi
You sir are a idiot. De gea is class how can you say he ls not good
It id true that Manchester United need two seasoned central defenders and a box to box midfielder but I do not see where it is going. The formation is a serious let down. They seem not yo know how to play under attack
Man utd needs another goal keeper.
Van gaal manchester united can never succed under that formation and van persle already finish we need sharp striker with falcao and never subtitude your key player when the match is still tough so our coach made a great mistake on our last match.
It’s great to see all opinions being respected, as opinions are fully entitled to all true supporters . However , from a mangers point of view (COLENSO FC , South Aftica) , I’d like to extend my own opinion on this matter .
United currently face two problems , one rather small , infact more a blessing than a problem , and the second catastrophically large !
Problem one is what formation should be used in order to best utilise the nuclear attacking force at our disposal . RVP may have scored against leister but did little else during that game , he’s had literally only two good seasons as a striker in the top flight in his career , one for arsenal and one for United . Had his career not been constantly stunted by injuries he could may well have gone on to be a Thierry Henry type of legend striker , but that requires week in week out , season in season out , world class performance . At 31 years of age , that ship has sailed . RVP has lost his pace and energetic burst and at 31 I cannot blame him , but I can bench him . The formation should rest in an unconventional yet highly effective 4 2 1 3 .As Rooney , sometimes frustratingly , loves going deep to either fetch the ball or collect to move up , FALCAO would remain the out and out striker . Adding to that , during rooneys spells of dropping deep , di Maria would be afforded the opportunity to move even further up , drift attacking space or even be available to collect a ball in the box and finish . Mata\januzaj should play the “1”in this formation , the role of a crafty minded floating attacking mid. The two in central midfield would comprise of various available combinations including fletcher,blind,carrick and Herrera to choose from up until more quality in strootman/ Vidal is added .
Problem two is defence , and it is an absolute mess. After losing both vidic and Ferdinand , united should have definately gone all out to sign an experienced , MADE, CB. Itis imperative 4 are played at the back, and Rojo is no CB.fullbacks we have in large quality , yet they mean nothing to a strong defense without commanding experienced CBsof which we have NONE .the proof lies in the pudding with Blackett ,completely and utterly inexperienced , being a starter for all 5 games . Yes, jones may be injured ,but even he still needs to be mentored further before we go about labeling him our defensive lieutenant . Time and time again out defenders are found out of position and off guard . Vermaelen would have been a great signing simply based on experience , and if rumours remain true , Hummels is truly the missing piece here .till such time it is up to our coaching staff to ensure the defense we have now ,KNOW AND UNDERSTAND their duties .
#Manchester is my heaven
