Man U get through, Depay looked good. They still need a defender though.

It would be nice if United would buy Laporte from Bilbao, but Blind was simply wonderful yesterday! He even assisted Memphis' second goal.

True but you need a solid strong central defender for whom it's their natural position. Do you have any of those at all? I'm not sure Smalling or Jones fit the bills. Blind is good but he should be playing along sign Schneiderlin in DM. Morgan works best with a partner (see Wanyama, Alderweirald etc last season), someone who is comfortable to run up while defensively they form a great partnership to stop counters and players getting through at all.

There's Rojo, but he is not too consistent and is also very injure-prone. Also, I don't really see Blind ever playing as a DM due to Carrick and Schweinsteiger. I also can't see Blind play as a LB because we have Shaw! Until we buy a new centre back ( if we buy one in the first place) we have to stick with Blind as a CB.
