feck Ashley Young. If he's starting games next season, you can be sure that 70% of the time, he'd be shite.
Ashley Young - Captain of Manchester United
- Thread starter Rajma
- Start date
And we're trying to get the two want aways, De Gea and Pogba to stay on the promise of captaincy!
Like it's the 1970s and the players see it as a huge honour!
If Young is the starting rb next season we can forget about excelling in football
A deadwood squad player Ashley Young captain again! will this madness ever end?
Yep. Far too much sentimentality. Ole has to show some courage and tell some they have to go, not just some going who want to go anyway. Herrera has gone of his own accord, Darmian wants to go, Fellaini was sold, him and Valencia were the only ones given the boot. Some of the others will hang around for ever unless someone does something. They are in no hurry to go.
I love Carrick, but I always have this nagging feeling that he's too close to his old team mates like Young etc. I just wonder how much influence he has? I just wish we'd mix things up a bit and get in some more back room staff who've had nothing to do with United. SAF did it, so I hope Ole takes that on board. Sentimentality don't win football matches.
Maybe in fantasy land he would announce he is leaving United because he is not good enough, or announce retirement. Not his fault the club has failed to find a better replacement.
Well hopefully we’ll not see you back if and when the club becomes successful again.
Yep, we're fecked. Ole's judgement out the window.
We've tried the outsider route, so maybe they decided to go full on 'United Way'. Although there has always been a United influence there of course, first Giggs now Michael Carrick. Giggs to learn off Moyes and then LvG. Carrick learning of Jose, but Ole is not really going to pass much on to him, so I suppose that is why Phelan is there.
No I meant our backroom staff. Carrick is still learning, Phelan we don't know how much of the modern game he's clued into. Need someone else with McKenna offering new ideas etc. Someone without any bias and will just look at things objectively. I just think it's too 'cosy' at the moment imho.
At least he speaks English. More than you could say about the last one
This is an absolute farce. Also include Pogba (again) and DeGea who barely even want to be here for good measure!?
Don't know why he doesn't just give it to Lindelof.
We won't even pick an outsider to help with transfers so I wouldn't hold out too much hope. Ashley is a SAF man, so Ole is surrounding himself with them. He is going back to the past.
But Ashley wasn't even an important part of SAF's United, he was a bit player.....
Ah well, we will see.
smalling would be the safe bet I guess. Pogba isn't arsed about it, he was captain early this year then gave one of his apologies about not being focused. Nonsense
He might just think he can remember how it was. As you say he wasn't even a big player for us, yet has not got better but is now a regular, although that could change and is being made the club captain. All those trophy winning campaigns he has been part of recently.
95% of foreign Managers/Coaches give the Captaincy to the longest serving player, so nothing to get too upset about, unless....
Haha, well next season it will be interesting to see what excuses are used if he does start for us.
That's a pretty common reason why managers lose their jobs, even outside of football.
At least it means he’s still running the tunes in the dressing room. J-Mingz won’t get his Vanessa Carlton on pre-match.
But seriously how the hell Young survived 4 managers?
Thanks.. Dont know how that helps?
Dont know how you were raised but I know my mom told me that if I couldnt say anything positive or constructive I shouldnt bother saying anything at all. I think me being off the Caf when Ashley Young captains Utd next season shouldnt really matter much as we will have enough people ready to spew poison over him, Ole and the club without me.
I have supported Utd since 84 and will keep on supporting Utd till I die but I really dont want to spend my time next season spewing profanities online every week, if you see that as supporting your club I guess you could do with a break too.

Offering Pogba bribes to stay is a bad idea, but one way or another someone other than Young has to be captain next season.
I'd be surprised if even 1 player in our dressing room has any true respect for Ashley Young as a captain. And I just mean the type of respect a captain would typcially command, not that they all bully him.
The managers were clueless.
But still 4 of them with completely opposing styles and he still made the starting line up.
Jones and Young must have some kind of inside secrets files. How else did they still make the cut after all these years playing for United?
Just looked at United's twitter to see the fan reaction... let's just say they are pissed off about this
Because the managers deemed other positions to be more important for improvement and they all got sacked before getting round to RB.
I am sure they are getting some sort of perverted joy in annoying the fans.Just looked at United's twitter to see the fan reaction... let's just say they are pissed off about this
Other than Rojo he is the player I most want to see leave, how can our other players look up to someone like this.
I have every faith this isn't true, Ole just isn't that stupid.

And yet Ashley Young having a fairly unimportant armband is the thing that tips you over the edge? Perhaps your mother should’ve taught you to grow up.
It's not that the armband is important, it's that the wearer of the armband tends to start games.
Ashley Young still Captain and starting next year...I just can't. We are already the longest running comedy since Friends.
The last club captain didn’t.
He's going to be here long after everyone else has left. You know what it reminds me of?
Seeing Young or Smalling with the armband on next season will see my blood rising to boiling point. I just hope that OGS is not that naive.
If he is I doubt he will still be in the job for the following season.
