‘I know one or two of the press boys that cover Manchester United, and they were saying there are whispers that Van Persie might have asked for a transfer the other night.’
 
is it Man Utd vs Man Utd today ??? I thought Saudi Sportswashing Machine were playing but BT Sport have failed to mention them so far, big club bias just like Sky

That just comes with the 'Man Utd' brand. But a Man Utd team that consists of Nani, Cleverly, Jones, Januzaj and Evans in their starting eleven is no where near title contenders under Moyes. They still even have the likes of Anderson on the bench and even if Ryan Giggs pulls out 1 good performance in 20 games that gets blown out of proportion due to his age, he isn't good enough. Ferdinand is 35, Vidic is 32, Evra is 32. You have the likes of Ashley Young around the squad who isn't up the standards, Welbeck who was a promising youngster but is far too inconsistent and Zaha who for some reason can't even get in the starting line up for whatever the reason.

Carrick - ?

van Persie​

They need to build around that. So as you can see they need two new centre halves who will take them through the next 5 to 10 years. I don't even mind Evans actually, I think he is a solid dependable player but so was O'Shea for them but I think he can definitely be improved upon. Man Utd could have quite easily have gone out and signed Vertonghen for example for £8,000,000 but they didn't, that would have sorted them out. They need to go out and get a new left back too.

Carrick is fine, he's getting older but he's still crucial for them, what they need next to him is someone that will compliment him, funnily enough someone like Paul Pogba who has just been crowned Europes Best Youngster, oh how I bet they never got rid of him now. Rooney is fine playing off of van Persie, although they will need to start looking for a RVP replacement, unless they just decide to stick Rooney up top like they did one year and he scored over 30 goals. Kagawa should always be around the team. But the left hand side is where they need to strengthen, Rafael on his day is one of the best right backs in the league, has found it tough with injuries but his quality will prevail. This is where Zaha could probably come in, the guy is very talented and the sort of spark the United team need. I like the look of Januzaj too but I think he's one for the future, have him come off the bench and excite the fans, be a youngster who COULD come on and change the game but for me Zaha is more accomplished.

In fact whilst writing this I thought of that promising youngster they have on loan at Wigan.. Nick Powell. He has a very bright future in the game and I actually feel he could slot in nicely next to Michael Carrick if I am honest with you, I think he's already better than Cleverly and has ridiculous potential to be a top England international. If not, then I imagine Moyes will do his best to try and get Barkley to sign as he'd be equaly impressive next to Carrick.
