Manchester United Season Review by fan

Manchester United is looking to contract Thiago Alcantara for next season. It will not even have to enter into negotiations with Barcelona if it stumps up a figure of €18 million, a proposal under serious consideration.

That is the total for the player's current buy-out clause. Thiago renewed his contract two seasons ago when his release fee was set at €90 million. This amount was reduced, however, to €18 million if he did not play a fixed number of games. And that is exactly what has happened.

The player's salary should also not present a problem for his departure. The midfielder currently earns €1.8 million a season, a sum which could easily be topped by a number of European clubs.

Bayern Munich would be another option. Guardiola was always one of his supporters when at Barcelona. In fact it was Pep who backed the payment of his salary, breaking from the general footballing norm that players of his age who moved up to the first team received between €1 million to €1.5 million.

Thiago has not been happy with the way this season has gone for him, a factor that could hasten his exit. Vilanova has not used him very much, at least, not as much as the player wanted. He ranks sixteenth in terms of minutes played throughout the season.

Robin retains Golden Boot

Robin van Persie has won the Barclays Golden Boot for the second season in a row after scoring 26 Premier League goals for Manchester United in 2012/13.

The Dutch striker finished above Liverpool's Luis Suarez (23 goals) and Tottenham's Gareth Bale (21 goals) in his maiden campaign at Old Trafford to help Sir Alex's side win a 20th title.

Van Persie netted with his first shot in the red shirt in August's 3-2 home win over Fulham and his haul included several other memorable goals, including his stunning volley in the title-clinching win over Aston Villa.

The left-foot strike, following a 40-yard pass from Wayne Rooney, completed his hat-trick and was unsurprisingly voted United's Goal of the Season last week.

Robin received the Barclays Golden Boot trophy after the 5-5 draw at West Brom and will be given £30,000 by Barclays to donate to a charity of his choice.

He also won the award last season after bagging 30 goals for Arsenal, three more than Rooney managed for the Reds.

Sorry but then that's just silly. Everyone looks good on Youtube, even Bebe. Of course from Youtube videos, Strootman looks better than Fellaini. In full games you can see the mistakes players make while in Youtube videos, it's only their highlights. To base that 1 player is better than the other purely based on Youtube (or FM attributes), is plain out silly.

Which is why I also asked the person who spoke about our youth players. If we've seen them play in full matches and came to a conclusion then great! I would also like to watch them. But if it's purely based on Youtube then
