Manchester United FC

So yesterday I read that Fabregas and Kroos wouldn't fit into LVG way of playing because they're not mobile enough to play in a 4-3-3. Now I'm reading that hes interested in Schweinsteiger :S As much as I like him, he's not exactly mobile either! And he's 29 (I think) surely it makes sense going for kroos than him, no?

I would not pay much attention to the shite they write in the sports pages. Every year we are linked to around 30 odd players. Just as long as we don't spend all summer chasing after Fabregas again only to end up panic buying an inferior player at the last moment. I'm sure deals will be being worked on behind the scenes but with United they are not usually made public until the last moment.

I think he had been ill for quite some time and has looked decidedly frail for the last couple of years. While it will be a sad day for his family the business empire won't really be affected as the sons effectively ran the business.

sad news for their family but hopefully we don't get affected as a club

Although described as the owner in many media reports, Malcolm Glazer didn't own even a single share in Man Utd. His 6 children own 15% of the club each, with the remaining 10% listed on the New York stock exchange.

It wouldn't be make that much difference I would have thought. Just surprised that even being the owner, Malcolm Glazer never took a look inside Old Trafford. I would think it'll be business as usual even though he has passed away.

He wasn't the owner. It was Avram Glazer's idea to invest in European football and Malcolm was never involved very much with the project. He'd been been in poor health anyway since suffering 2 strokes in April 2006.
