We understand that Louis van Gaal clearly feels that his team needs more experience.
Last season there were too many unforced errors and you simply won’t win things playing like that.
But he has added Bastian Schweinsteiger to the midfield and he will make big difference if fit.
But latest reports suggest that Manchester United are considering bringing an antique to The Premier League.
MANCHESTER UNITED are considering making a bid for Real Madrid defender Pepe, according to reports.
At 32 this guy would cost a fortune in wages and surely wouldn’t get away with the cynical tricks from which he has become notorious in La Liga.
He’s a canny defender but he doesn’t have great technique and we wouldn’t be at all surprised if the story has been generated in order to get him a better deal at Madrid. We have seen those tactics before!
A successful team is about balancing youth with experience. But surely Manchester United would be far better off spending their money on the brilliant young Englishman John Stones.
He may make a few mistakes here and there and doesn’t have Pepe’s experience. But he is a long term investment who would get better year on year and be a future captain for Manchester United.
Rio Ferdinand certainly thinks that he should join Manchester United:
“If he goes to Man United, he plays every week so that’s the right club for him,” Ferdinand said. “If he goes to Chelsea, he’s not playing every week. He’s at that stage of his development where he wants to play every week. If you say to any young footballer to leave a club to sit on the bench, you’ve got to be a lunatic. You have to be.”
Absolutely right. Manchester United shouldn’t even be thinking about Pepe – sign Stones and have a cornerstone for the defence for the next decade.

At this stage Pepe will not be ideal choice for MU. He has past his prime and Madrid wants to get rid of him at a very high cost. MU should concentrate on Stones and Otamendi. If MU pays handsome transfer fees for Pepe, it should be spent for Stones and Otamendi who will be real value addition to MU.
