The Man Utd fans in the Football Transfer Tavern have enjoyed a mixed spell to the Premier League so far…
An electric start was knocked back after a defeat to Manchester City, but a dominant win against Premier League champions Leicester has got the Man Utd fans in the Tavern hoping for the best again.
Players like Ibrahimovic and Juan Mata are firing on all cylinders, whilst Eric Baily appears to be one of the shrewdest Premier League acquisitions in recent memory.
However, our landlord thinks that there are a few Man Utd players that are simply not good enough to be playing every week.
He has put United’s recent poor run of form down to their inability to deliver on the highest stage; and he thinks that Jose Mourinho must act quickly and drop them if he wants to succeed this season.
With that said, Mourinho must drop these 2 Chelsea Man Utd in every game from now on – agreed?
Wayne Rooney
Wayne Rooney’s fall from grace has been well documented in recent weeks, after a poor run of form for both club and country.
The Englishman has been a near constant in the Man Utd set up for the best part of a decade, but his recent form suggests that he is past his best.
Often unable to pass, shoot or score, Rooney has become a liability in parts – and there are players in far better form sitting on the bench waiting for a chance.
Players like Juan Mata have come in so far this season in the absence of Rooney and excelled – and that just adds more fuel to the fire.
Rooney has been an excellent servant; but his time as a starter at Man Utd is up.
Daley Blind
Daley Blind is a good player – but he should not be starting each week for Man United.
The Dutchman is a great utility player, and is able to play anywhere across the United defence; but in his versatility comes his flaw.
He might be good in lots of positions – but you cannot describe him as being great in any single position. It is that outstanding quality that separates the players that should be playing for Man Untied, and the players that should be playing for Stoke.
He is currently taking the place of Luke Shaw in the Man Utd first team, and it is hard to see why. Shaw has impressed since his arrival in Manchester – and he will likely come straight back into the first team fold.
Simply not good enough.
