#52386 mattyboy93 : What are you going to do now that your 5 year plan is up? Are you going to carry on with Man Utd? Or leave and manage someone else?

Just finished reading the story, its an interesting story. I have brought some of the young players you signed in mine game. Thank you.

Thanks for reading and hope you like it.

I plan to stick with United as my plan was to build not only a 1st team but also a strong reserve and academy teams. Then I will simply ask my players to step up when needed. I am very happy with the squad that I have built and also I have several really good young players coming through. The future looks red!

League Cup Final – Sunderland – Wembley – 28.02.16

Will be going into this game with a strong team as I am looking to build up momentum for the end of season run in. Also looking to get revenge for the defeat in the League.

I decided to play Hazard behind Hernández in the hope that he will create some chance for Hernández who has struggled for goals this season.
