    I've seen pics of him playing for Braga and Valladolid and he actually looks a lot younger, think Atletico took a lot out of him.

    A quick count shows he has the same number as Messi.

    I would say Cambiasso has won more "real" trophies than Messi though.

    I dont really count Supercups or those Club World Cups as real trophies, they are really glorified friendlies and one off games.

    So Cambiasso has won 12 League and Cups to Messi's 11.

    I would count the Uefa super cups, those are serious, tough matches making it 13-13 each. Either way, Di Stefano has more Leagues + European cups if you take away the smaller ones.

    Just looking at how United could line up on SSN. If I was Van Gaal, persisiting with his formation I'd go....


    De Gea

    Evans Jones Rojo

    Valencia Di Maria Herrera Blind

    Rooney

    Van Persie Falcao​



    Hard to leave Mata out but that team is incredibly attacking as it is, Valencia and Blind can get up and down the park but don't shy defensively, Herrera has a bit more bite than Mata I think and Di maria has already proven he is equally comfortable at CM.

    This also allows RVP to play as well with Falcao, can't leave him out.


    That back 3 is still dodgy as * but serves them right for spunking money on the attack:56:

    Id play

    De Gea
    Rafael Jones Rojo Shaw
    Blind
    Herrera Di Maria
    Mata
    Falcao Rooney

    No matter what kind of line up I put their players in though it just doesnt look right to me. The back 4 and Blind dont seem Man U class to me. Also Rooney/Mata/Van Persie for whatever reason don't seem to click together, so theres no proven partnership between either of them. Di Maria id rather have on the right-wing too but theres no way to fit players into a team with a left-winger as well as there arent 2 solid enough centre-mids to play together to play 4-2-3-1. I think whatever they do it probably wont work out correctly until they have better defenders and two more solid centre-mids.

    They are still lacking probably ideally 2 defenders, 2 centre-mids and 1 winger. And could let go of Smalling, Evans, Anderson, Cleverley and Young. Ideal replacements would be the likes of Varane, Hummels, Vidal, Gundogan and Reus

    De Gea
    Rafael Varane Hummels Rojo
    Vidal Gundogan
    Di Maria Mata Reus
    Falcao

    Lindegaard, Jones, Shaw, Blind, Herrera, Januzaj and Rooney.

    That is a Man U class team/squad.

    If you do that then there are a few from that Boca side of the last decade that would be ahead of them, like Sebastián Battaglia and Martín Palermo.

    On surgery reports Van Persie told @FOXSportsnl "I am impressed that people have the imagination to invent something like that.

    I think Danny Welbeck will be a hit at AFC.

    Had to laugh when the reporter on SSN said last night 'Arsenal finally have their top quality striker' When referring to Welbeck. My lord.
