Van Gaal has pruned the squad now. Since he has arrived 14 players have gone with Cleverley now being loaned out today to Villa. We now actually have a better balanced side than we have had for a few seasons. People keep on saying how poor the defence is yet we have not seen how the defence will peform under VG as it has not yet taken to the pitch. Once Shaw, Rojo and Blind are added to the mix who knows, it might provide the very stability we have been missing.
One thing is for sure Di Maria will add a new dimension and Falcao should be a 20 goal a season player. If Rooney plays behind the forward line and RvP stays fit then scoring more than we let in is a very real possibility....he says optimistically
