    ha ha ha overrated. The lad is a class above any of your CM. He's just had his best season for us. He has amazing version and 2bf he's not really a DM. Masch does all the dirty work and gives the ball to Xabi you won't see Xabi doing many tackles

    Out of your CM who would you say is better than Xabi and don't be bias

    Before though he's been in the shadow of Scholes Carrick and last season Hargreaves.

    This year he's played more than he's ever done, and he's been phenomina... more to come IMO

    Not much between him and Carrick... and as a DM which is where he does play for Liverpool Hargreaves is better.

    Fergie won't spend much money this season on more than 2 or 3 players... we need a Winger and a forward, and if we get a CM he needs to be someone who makes something hapen, like Iniesta, not another passer of the ball tbh.

    yeah he plays DM for Liverpool but doesn't really do the DM job. He's not a Masch or Essien type of DM

    Agree with the fact that man utd need someone like iniesta they have too many midfielders that are the same as in; Fletcher, Scholes, Carrick, Anderson and occasingly O'Shea

    With Iniesta playing like he did yesterday then every team could use him

    Thats a reason as to why he is considered overrated. Because too often he gets labelled as a DM, when infact its not his natural position. He is a Creative Central Midfielder and the fact that he plays alongside a player that loves to reign foward with the ball in Steven Gerrard he gets stuck doing alot of defensive cleanup work in the midfield.

    In all honestly he is one of the most creative CM's in world football, up there with the likes of Xavi.

    And LOL @ Hargreaves > Xabi.

    Although I do think Xabi Alonso is overrated by some, to suggest that there is little difference between Carrick and Xabi is laughable.

    Ronaldo - Tactics not good

    United winger admits best team won in Champions League final


    Cristiano Ronaldo felt Manchester United's tactics were 'not good' during the club's 2-0 defeat by Barcelona in the final of the UEFA Champions League.
    United set out at the Stadio Olimpico with the same formation which overcame Arsenal in the semi-finals, with Ryan Giggs replacing the suspended Darren Fletcher.
    However, after a positive start, the Premier League champions failed to recover from conceding a 10th minute Samuel Eto'o goal and were outplayed for the remainder of the game.
    Sir Alex Ferguson altered his tactics at half-time by bringing on Carlos Tevez for Anderson, but the change failed to improve United's performance.
    Ronaldo started the match up front before moving out to the wing and the Portuguese ace felt 'everything went wrong'.
    "I cannot explain," he told RTP. "We, the players, were not well, the tactics were not good... everything went wrong.
    "We have to give credit to Barcelona, but they were a bit lucky to be here because Chelsea did not deserve to lose and no-one has mentioned that.
    "I have to congratulate Barcelona, they were better, but football is just like this: only the winners get talked about."
    Future

    The former Sporting Lisbon man also refused to comment on his future amid fresh reports linking Real Madrid with a renewed interest in his services.
    He added: "My future now is the national squad, so that we can win, so that we can be in a good position in our qualifying group.
    "About clubs, I do not want to talk about that, I want to rest, go on holiday, I am very tired, I have played a lot of games, a lot of pressure.
    "The future, we will see."
