Haha, it seems the rag PR machine are preparing their hordes for disappointment in the transfer market.
They must have sold enough season tickets.

Robson: United don't need an overhaul this summer

Former Reds captain believes that small tweaks will make a huge difference and has his say on who could get the armband next season.
United’s squad does NOT need a major overhaul this summer according to club legend Bryan Robson.

Critics insist the Reds squad requires wholesale changes as they bid to hit back after their horror season.

But Robson backed the appointment of Dutchman Louis van Gaal as David Moyes’ replacement.

And he told the M.E.N says he thinks United only need two or three top players to turn them back into trophy challengers.

He said: “Everyone keeps saying it needs to be a major rebuild – I just don’t see it like that.

“I think we have some great players within the squad. We need three of four top-class players.

“If Van Gaal can get those players, in the positions we need within the squad, I think we have a great chance of bouncing back from the disappointment of this season.

“He’s vastly experienced with big clubs across Europe so I can only see him doing a good job.”

Robson singled out Southampton left-back Luke Shaw as one man he would like to see arrive at Old Trafford.

Shaw has been heavily linked with a £27million move to the Reds and Robbo said he believes having both Shaw and veteran left-back Patrice Evra would leave the club well-served in that department.

“I think he’s a very good young player, he has vast potential,” said Robson.

“Roy Hodgson wouldn’t have taken him to the World Cup if he didn’t rate him so I think he’d be really good to come in and challenge Patrice.

“I think that could only improve us.”

He also highlighted the centre of defence and midfield as areas United need to strengthen.

“With Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand going we definitely one, possibly two, centre-halves.

“Everyone has been talking about the centre of midfield and I think that's an area we can improve on in the squad.”

Robson, speaking after carrying the Queen’s baton around Old Trafford as part of the build-up to the Commonwealth Games, became known as 'Captain Marvel’ during his long stint as skipper of both United and England in the 1980s and 90s.

The armband is vacant after Vidic’s departure for Inter and Robson hopes any players new boss Van Gaal brings in are also leaders on the pitch.

On who should take on the role, he said: “Patrice Evra has been a captain for some time so he would be the obvious one.

“But it depends on the manager signs.

“Hopefully he can sign someone who’s captain material as well as being a great player.”

Tbf he is still stating they need 3 or 4 world class players.

That's obvious, though.

My first and ever piece of ITK.

Ashley Cole was approached to join them and point blank refused to even speak to them, even though he was offered a two year deal on £121,500 a week.

Nobody else in the top 7 are interested in him.

Oh fuck me let this be true........I'll rip the piss out of that fucking Rag in work! Mind you, it's probably because we don't have a Michelin star restaurant in Manchester.

Daft cunts taking Jones, Smalling and Wellbeck so that means fuck all.

100 percent true, either that or somebody very close to Ashley Cole has lied to my face.

Probably why Evra got another year out of them.

If I understand correctly, the Evra extension was a clause that the player could activate if a certain number of appearances were made this season. Don't think the club had any say in it. Club could only have refused if he didn't make the requisite number of appearances this season.

Cole will be 34 before Christmas, at his age he can't afford to be part of a "rebuilding" exercise, 1 year (or more) outside of the Champion's League isn't a total disaster to Manchester United (although it will hurt them), the same can't be said for a player in the final couple of seasons of his career.
