Manchester United began the year 2015, on the same note they ended last year. United’s first match of the year was a 1 – 1 draw with Stoke City, in a match that United’s Ashley Young suffered a hamstring injury. The team’s second game was a hard earned 2 – 0 F.A Cup victory over Yeovil Town, again the match saw United lose Rafael and Luke Shaw to different injuries while McNair needed staples on his head. In the first six days of the year, United have suffered about four injuries.
The first half of United’s season have been marred with poor defensive performances, and with the January transfer window now opened, United have been linked to a number of defenders and midfielders that can no doubt improve the team. Players like Ron Vlaar, Mats Hummels, Raphael Varane, Sergio Ramos, Benedict Höwedes, Coleman, and a host of others have been rumoured with a move to the theatre of dreams. It however remains to be seen if Van Gaal, would see in line with the fans and media, and get a defender.
Is the title out of United’s reach? Van Gaal once conceded that United are no more in the title race following the team’s recent below par away performances. Ironically, United have failed to fully capitalize on Chelsea’s current dip in form, while Manchester City have done just that and are currently levelled on points with the once invincible league leaders. For United it’s a never say never situation, but the team must significantly improve to stage a late fight for the title.
One striker United fans would love to see much longer at United is Radamel Falcao, the Colombian international didn’t have the best of starts at United, but is gradually improving, getting the important goals, assists and putting in all round brilliant performances. The final decision to sign the El Tigre lies with van Gaal and United’s coaching staffs.
If you were given the fantasy opportunity to have ONE wish that would come to pass for United this season, what would that be?
- That United injury woes stop?
- That United sign a certain player? Which player would you want to sign this January?
- That United win the Premier League?
- That United win the F.A Cup?
- That United sign Falcao?
What’s your ONE WISH?
