The mods has tagged me, I have a reputation now to ensure that MMM succeed here at United:). However, it will be short lived if we are getting Haaland. I can’t see a formation that will fit MMM and Haland in it.
I can see one, Martial playing a free electron 10 role, and Pogba going one down to pair with Scott or Fred.

Yes I was thinking about Martial playing the number 10 role too... today with him dropping off really showed signs that he could really do a job there, need to see more of it. He is so creative and skillful, he doesn't need any space to create wonders.

Wow, when you take their ages into consideration, thats outstanding. I feel next year, with extra squad depth and more quality alongside Pogba behind the 3 of them, they will become more lethal.

Other than consistency, which isn't surprising when seeing the squads average age, I don't see much wrong with this season on a whole and feel Ole is putting together a squad worthy of United again. The playstyle is so close to old United and current Liverpool, with Tony taking up Firmino's role almost identically. With abit of patience and the addition of a couple of missing pieces, we will get there. Surely along with MMM, there are enough positives for people to see to just atleast hold onto abit of patience.

So excited for their development and hope we see the 3 of them again tomorrow.

Martial and Rashford have 20 goals in 16 apps between each other according to Sport bible. Sounds true to me?!

All credit to them and Ole for this

MMM.......?? Embarrassing. BBC? MSN? It’s all pathetic. I remember when I used to be impressed with SAS in the 90’s then I thought “what am I doing with my life being impressed by that?” I changed for the better and I really hope some of you can find it in yourselves to rise above ‘MMM’ before it’s too late.

34 goals in all competitions.

It's pretty impressive for a front three with an average age of 21.3 years.

Lets hope they can hit the 60+ mark this season.

If Halaand comes it will be a big HMMM.....
Hmmm sounds like something geralt the blaviken butcher would say.

Anyway, impressive stats for our young strikers. This could be backbone for years to come.

I never knew that is what BBC stood for. My girlfriend has been searching for it on loads of sites. She got dead weird when I asked her about it. Must be getting something for my birthday.

On topic, I saw on Instagram today that our front 3 has as many goals as Firmino, Mane and Salah.
Yep, pretty impressive. Yet our fans still underestimate the quality of our team. As someone mentioned, if we put in two quality 8 behind them or a top class ten, we will have one of the best attack in England.

Mctominay/Fred
Fabian Ruiz - Pogba
Mason - Martial - Marcus

mmm is that the future of United? Impressive display by Mason, Macus and Martial. They are arguably our strongest attacking trio and they are still developing. I don’t want to overrate our players, but it is hard to argue that these player don’t have the talent to take us back to glory.
My friend, I assure you that MMM are not the same as BBC.
I remember when people were talking about Martial winning the Ball on Dor.
I also remember when Luke Shaw was the best LB in the country and when he got injured, he became one of the best in the World and that he could single handedly win us the league.
And now (based on a win against Burnley), I see that MMM is being talked up.

Put it this way, if MMM improve beyond our wildest expectations, they would still fall well short of BBC (or MSN of Barcelona).
To put this into context, as to just how bad/good our attackers are: LFC have scored 46 goals. We have scored 32. And LFC have played 2 games less than us.

People need to start managing their expectations, otherwise they are in for massive disappointment.

A few good example happened a only a few hours ago: I read that Haaland has signed for Dortmund. Many fans had absolutely convinced themselves that he was joining us and have now been left dejected.
We need to be realistic and accept that board would like us to be a 4th place club, though realistically, we are a top 6 club, where if results go our way, we could make 4th place. I believe our average finishing place since SAF retired is 5th, which falls in line with this. The playing staff we buy, will be in line with what you'd expect of a 4th-6th place team.
