It's ridiculous when you know Fred can't do either side of the game.Key word there for me is trust he simply doesn’t trust his other midfielders to do both sides of the game.

I mean it says it all to be honest about that United midfield. That needs to be addressed before United can contend for the PL.
They aren't getting 85 points this year bud.Precisely. That's why 85 points and a title challenge is a good season
Fred's work rate is not impressive. Any decent United midfielder over the years has put in as much effort, if not more. I don't care that he runs around a lot, he just isn't very good.
Anyone from several. Christ I'd even take the Barnstoneworth utd no.6Interesting. Money no object who do you buy to replace him?
I'd much rather see us sign Phillis from Leeds. Rice, fantastic young player but Phillips at 25 yr old on a 5 year deal.Think injuries are catching up with Kante a bit he's struggling to stay fit so Chelsea might see it as an opportunity to cash in and reinvest they've not been afraid to do that in the past especially if big bids are around. He's turning 31 this season is on massive wages and is coming into that last 2 years of his deal so they might see what's on the market for him.
The challenge will be to find the new Kante because he's a special player.

The lad just has something very very special about him!
I don't think McGinn or Gallagher play the position we r discussing. Apparently Bielsa is leaving Leeds next year for back home. Phillips, yeah Leeds all the way, the Yorkshire Pirlo I've heard him called, but has to experience Euro football. Must do something to fill that void, and yes it will cost big bucks but, if u pay peanuts u get monkeys!Yeah I think there's a few good uns knocking around in the league outside of the current big 4 that could move up to the bigger clubs Bissouma, Tielemens, Ndidi, Rice and Phillips all impress me whenever I see them but they are so expensive to buy. McGinn at Villa as well I really like him but I think he's got fitness issues.
One who's starting to catch the eye is Connor Gallagher who's on loan at Palace from Chelsea he was also very good on loan at West Brom last season expect he might be one who actually gets a bit of a chance at Chelsea next season if he keeps going the way he is.
Big issue for us with Phillips is he's Leeds through and through so it would need them to be in serious trouble for him to jump to us but I do agree he's a fine player.
There's going to need to be a big pot of money next summer to sort this problem as for me it need 2 or 3 new players to transform the midfield as the current lot aren't going to cut it no matter who's in charge.
That’s the thing we don’t seem to be identifying these guys before they get their initial move, then they kick ass and then they are going to cost a bomb. We should be looking at getting Kante before he even joins Leicester.Think injuries are catching up with Kante a bit he's struggling to stay fit so Chelsea might see it as an opportunity to cash in and reinvest they've not been afraid to do that in the past especially if big bids are around.

If, and when, we sign someone to fill that void e.g. Phillips, Rice, Bissouma, Ndidi, Tielemans, or indeed Kessie( fantastic player) were gonna have to pay well in excess of 40 mill, closer to double.I've seen Gallagher playing box to box which is what we really are looking for and I'd say McGinn is a similar player but both are playing in 3 man midfields not the two man system we play.
Pogba will be gone next season think that ships sailed to be honest and that potentially is a problem solved in my book unless he's shunted to the left he's a problem and if he's on the left we are missing a wide player.
Kessie is another at Milan and Barella at Inter the former is on a free this summer as his contract is up and Inter are skint.
Thing is we have't paid peanuts for players McTominay aside all those CM players cost over £40m.

Who? The Barnstoneworth No. 6?Too one paced, got the tactical discipline of Pogba and he's got Liverpool FC tattooed on his nose, so it's a no from me.
I think the list of players better than him who would instantly improve us is as long as you'd care to make, you could list players until your fingers grew numb. Even halfway decent players like Rice or Maddison would be a massive upgrade. I like Bissouma, I like Kessie. I don't even know who Gallagher and McGinn are but I like them better than Fred already.Interesting. Money no object who do you buy to replace him?
