Caf meltdown she kan'ee take the strain captain
He's worth it though, looked class for France at the WC and had a very good season last year. Hope he whispers to them about Zaldua.

He's a top talent, no doubt. Just surprised to see Atletico spend all the Costa money on him. Who's Zaldua?

Young RB that broke through last season at Sociedad.
As if his 45 mins of complete anonymity against an MLS reserve team wasn't enough.
In less than 24 hrs we have had ...
- Van Gaal say he trains minds more than legs.
- Cleverly suggest he is LVG's kind of player, right in front of LVG
- Cleverly made captain
- Rumours the Vidal deal is off

I don't see the big deal about giving Cleverley the armband in a pre-season friendly.
Wouldn't it be class if Cleverley started to really perform well every game. I think he has it in him.
Cleverley as captain... thats, umm, unusual lol
Hopefully it's van Gaals farewell gift to him
Makes sense. He's been ridiculed and abused for the past year. LVG has to conduct a rebuilding process and that includes bringing confidence back to players like Cleverley.
We've already seen evidence of it, LVG is high fiving and hugging players left right and centre. Cleverely probably has one of the worst cases of no confidence in our squad so why not make him feel valued.
Clevz23 for captain meltdown ahoy!
meltdown ahoy!Cleverley as captain... thats, umm, unusual lol

Its as simple as giving it to the one that's gonna play 90mins. Bloody hell, the shit that he gets here.
LvG giving Cleverley a confidence boost. Good man management. Hopefully he can get th best out of him.
Unfortunately, Cleverley's best, still isn't good enough.
We actually don't know that, as he hasn't yet reached his best.
One needs to be really thick not to understand that Cleverley might be made captain tonight only because he is one of two players who are going to play full 90 minutes and other is Blackett. Hardly a big deal.
We don't know he hasn't reached his best yet.
Lad had a real purple patch a few seasons ago but didnt kick on. Has all the attributes to be a very good player. If Van Gaal & Sir Alex see something in him that you dont, maybe you need to reassess your opinion of him!
Personally will be very happy if he kicks on & shows what he's capable of on a regular basis, can be a very useful squad player & might be very good in Van Gaals system.
Correct we don't know either, nor does Van Gaal, so its great he's giving him a proper chance to continue developing.
I disagree, in one match Herrera has set the standard of what's required, and Cleverley is nowhere near him.
Pretty much the same age as each other as well.
I agree, give him these 4 games to see if he can show anything, making him captain should surely boost his confidence.
Jesus christ Herrera played a great game yes, but it was against a pub team with nothing to play for and we're ready to hand him a spot in the line-up??.. I'm more than willing to start Cleverley and try to help him discover his ability again..
They're definitely not a pub team. They're a decent side in mid season form, who may have otherwise gotten something out of the game. We simply performed at a different level.
Herrera's a special player. You won't find many as good as him around the world. You just don't find midfielders who can do it all like he can. His close ball control and range of passing is reminiscent of Scholes, Xavi and Iniesta. His skill ceiling is higher than Toni Kroos' and he can do the defensive side of the game too.
Not every player in your squad will be like that. Whoever we put in midfield with Herrera will be there to complement him. He's going to be the fulcrum of our midfield and in Mata, we have another wonderful player technically.
What ability? Cleverley did not seem to impress that much against this pub team you speak of anyway. It's already obvious Herrera is twice the player Cleverley is. This pub team were meant to be a lot fitter than us considering they are in the middle of their season.
2/10 for WUM attempt. Must try harder.
Cleverley played against the same team and got nowhere near Herrera's level of performance.
Herrera became BY FAR our best midfielder the second we signed him. It's not even up for debate. The position up for debate is who will partner him. We're putting him in the lineup because like Mata, or Van Persie, or De Gea, he's just a class above the others.
Were Utd a pub team when he played against us in 2012?
The lad is class, this is the quality we should be aiming to have in our midfield, Cleverley has never played at this level, even in his so called "purple patch" and at 24 I just don't see it happening.
I haven't got at bummer on Cleverley, he's an academy product, I just don't think he's good enough.
Talk about exaggeration.
Imagine the scenes if you don't sign another midfielder because of Cleverly. Van Gaal really isn't making it easy for himself.
