Shit a windmill
Time for more "Kamikaze spending" in January... I'm sure the hypocrite Fergie will approve.
But they have shot themselves in the foot. By spending so much, Roma have cranked the price for United's #1 target Kevin Strootman up to ca. £60m (he's worth maybe half at most) because of United inflating the market during the summer. Although Roma publicly say he's not for sale, they'd probably budge for a stupid offer like that and just maybe United are stupid enough to pay it.
Not sure what defenders they can get in January. Hummels will not move in January, so maybe someone like Joel Matip.

I'm trying not to laugh about them, it's not easy.
Val Gaal has looked like a total idiot so far this season and especially yesterday.
Going away from home and playing 3 strikers?
Taking on attacking players like Januzaj and Mata instead of Fletcher and Shaw to see out a game?
Rojo (who really struggled) ahead of Shaw (one of the best left backs in the league) at left back?
After talking so much about a back 3, why didn't Van Gaal switch to that yesterday to see out the game? Bring on Shaw for RVP - back 3 of Smalling, Blackett and Rojo with Rafael and Shaw wing backs. Surely that's more solid than a back four with both full backs flying forward, horribly exposing two very average centre backs.
Yesterday's result was all about Van Gaal struggling to adapt to this league and making very poor tactical decisions.

Ironically - and as good as he is - Di Maria is part of the problem. Don't know if there are heat maps/average position maps available anywhere, but he seemed to spend most of the game far too far forward, ahead of Rooney even. Coupled with Rojo's disastrous performance, meant they were wide open down that side.
I'm honestly not sure I've ever seen a more unbalanced side in the Premier League (although I think I recall Mancini going with a midfield three of Vieira, Zaba and De Jong once, which was arguably as unbalanced, just in a very different way!)
