      Ed I don’t see as many United games as you do but I don’t get Smalling ,is he a work in progress or better than I think.Also whenever I see Rashford he seems far more dangerous than Lukaku on paper you should be neck and neck with City.

        Bricklayersarms, Smalling is probably the first one I’d be looking to replace in that side. He’s steady and a decent defender but we should be looking for a better partner for Bailly really. I like the look of Tuanzebe who has just gone on loan to Villa so I’d like to see him given a chance. Mourinho has been quite good this season at playing the academy lads.

        The last few times I’ve seen Rashford play centrally, I haven’t been as impressed. I much prefer him cutting in from the left and going past players than playing on the shoulder of the last defender. He could well mature into the central role though. Lukaku is definitely a confidence striker. His build up play has really improved the last few months even if his goals have dried up somewhat. His record in front of goal suggests hell be back scoring regularly again soon though.

          lukaku is a flat track bully and nothing else. will often score the 3rd or 4th goal in a 3 or 4 nil win. so far this season his goals have earned united 5 points. rarely makes the difference and his hold up play is poor. united definitely need to think about getting an effective striker in next season.

              I don’t buy that flat track bully stuff Paxton. Over the last 5 or so years I think he’s only behind Kane in goals scored. He might not have scored as many of his goals against other top sides as others, but he’s still scored more goals than most in that time and everyone plays the same sides. Most of the teams Utd play are, with respect, smaller sides than us so if he’s going to mostly bang them in against the smaller sides, that’s still a lot of goals.

              A lot of people say he’s not good enough for Utd but I’ve yet to hear anybody mention a player we should have got who would have been a better bet. Who could we have got realistically who has a better or as good goalscoring record. I’m all ears!

                Ed-If we start the next season with Valencia,Jones,Smalling,Shaw,Young amongst others,it will be another year of fighting to finish top4!

                  A possible alternative would have been Morata but I’d argue he’s been even less effective this season and so far looked lost at this level IMO
