I have no objection to letting Vermaelen go if we get a good (ideally young) replacement in, but letting him go to Man U shouldn't be on the table - aside from the fact that they're a massive bunch of cunnies, I think van Gaal is trying to implement the same 3 CB system that he used with Holland, and Vermaelen, as a guy who can play CB and LB, would be a good fit for that.

Ideal scenario: we dick ManUre around until deadline day, and then sell Tommy to Barca.
