So I mentioned my FIFA '11 ManU squad -

Hugo Lloris - GK
Rafael - RB Ferdinand - CB Vidic - CB (C) Evra - LB
De Rossi - CDM
Hulk - RW Nani - LW (though I often flip them back and forth)
Sneijder - CAM
Rooney - CF (Sneijder plays to the right and back of Rooney - Rooney plays at the top of the D)
Hernandez - ST

I win a lot.

My bench includes DeGea, Valencia, Berbatov, Smalling, Fabio, Park, and Carrick.

 

sorry man:

It's ok.

Back on topic, Ashley Young was impressive in his debut for United vs. the NE Revolution. Kiki Macheda was also excellent - both of his finishes were top-notch.

 

Considering he's another one of the guys I purchased for my squad, I found this article ironic:

Insert anyone's name instead of Ashley Young and you'd have the same result against the Revolution...lol

 

Did you watch? He was playing very well - his passes were well-weighted, he showed good vision... Obviously the competition will get tougher, but I was pleased even against lowly NE.

 

But for real, imagine if he didn't play well. Basically it's a good sign that they're doing at least that, just coming onto the squad.

 

i hope this is true
but this is exactly how most big signings happen, innit?

I am praying to God above. Sneijder would be magic in SAF's scheme.
