We have to say that we are really enjoying Manchester United under Louis van Gaal. Apart from anything he is upholding United’s image as a club that is nothing if not interesting.
He’s sprung so many surprises already that pundits have learnt to simply observe and report rather than try to pre-empt the whims of the manager.
Noone saw Falcao coming did they? It was pretty much the last name on anyone’s lips in relation to United until deadline day. And his use of Paddy McNair and Tyler Blackett has shown a buccaneering eagerness to experiment that so suits this great club.
How many managers would have stuck a midfielder like Fletcher or Fellaini in there against Everton and West Ham rather than risking untried youth? Most would surely be the answer.
The latest rumour regarding Manchester United pertains to another brilliant youngster. The Guardian reports today that LvG quite likes the look of Anderson Talisca, a Brazilian who has exploded onto the scene at Benfica since his summer move from Bahia.
He’s essentially an attacking midfielder who is full of goals – he’s scored a remarkable 6 in just 7 games since he joined the club for 4m Euros. According to the source he now has a release clause of 23m Euros.
Let’s take a look at the lad in action. Manchester United fans: does the club need yet another attacking player?

Yea! Pls do not delay in doing so, atleast lets have a team of midfielders that can shield up for our defenders, who will now have time and space to really do their job till 90mins.
