Defensively against Swansea, Manchester United were all over the place. But forget three at the back or four at the back. They could play any system they want but it would make no difference — the players are just not good enough. So much has been said about Louis van Gaal and how he is going to take the 3-5-2 that worked so well with Holland at the World Cup and use it with United. But I’m already sick of talking about systems. It doesn’t matter what formation United play, it’s about the quality of the players and at United that quality is sorely lacking at the moment It sounds simplistic, but how many of the United team who started on Sunday would get into the Man City or Chelsea teams? Maybe Wayne Rooney at a push, but that’s about it. In a way having a decent pre-season was the worst thing that could have happened to Van Gaal as all it did was raise expectations. The good news for him, though, is that he still has time to bring in some new faces, but who is going to want to come in? The way United are at the minute you could get Van Gaal, Bob Paisley and Jose #Mourinho to manage them together and even they would have a job getting them back into the top four. Arsenal did not play that well against Crystal Palace but Ramsey is starting to become like their own Frank #Lampard. Frank was so good at scoring vital goals for Chelsea, particularly late on. Now Ramsey is doing the same. He’s full of confidence and he is like a magnet to the ball in the area. He is a phenomenal athlete, as his running stats below show. He covered more ground than any other player in the game and that energy and athleticism is why he is finding himself in the right place at the right time so often. #mcfc #mufc #afc #lfc #thepremiership2 #epl #bpl #footballnews Read more: dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2727370/JAMIE-REDKNAPP-Louis-van-Gaal-Jose-Mourinho-AND-Bob-Paisley-struggle-Man-United-team-Wayne-Rooney-make-Chelsea-Man-City-s-team.html#ixzz3AkX749gN
