As a Man Utd fan and having had time to take in their transfer dealings, Im experiencing a combination of excitement and trepidation - as well as regret at seeing Danny Wellgood, Little Pea and Shinji Kagawa go without really having fully reached their potential at United. Never again will a United striker register goals with both his face and the back of his head, like Little Pea managed. They were my personal three favourite current United players, mostly because they all seemed like nice guys, so its a shame to see them depart. However Im excited about what should be an incredibly interesting season. Everytime I try to work out what LvGs first team will be, I realise Ive left one of Herrera, Di Maria, Mata, Januzaj, Blind, RvP, Falcao or Rooney out of the team. If LvG can make it all click, it will be spectacular. If not, well have one of the most talented squads (in attack, at least) to fail in the Premier League. If I were in charge, Id be absolutely terrified of missing out on the top four now - I presume LvG is a little more sure of himself. Either way it should prove pretty amazing to watch - potentially racking up records in both the goals scored and goals conceded columns (considering we have our weakness in defence), and ending either in (relative) glory or phenomenal disaster.
