You also look at consequences for players for under performing. How long does city hold onto under performers? Would Martial last a decade at City?
For all the complaints about managers, there’s so many players not good enough that every new manager has to suffer fitting into their squads.
United is uniquely sh*t at squad management. Any well run club would have changed how its transfer dealings are being done and how players are identified, but not United.
F*cking clown shop club
If you go through our squad, it really is well below the requirements needed to succeed.
GK Onana - started of very badly then had a good run and then cost us again in the champions league. He was also poor against Newcastle yesterday. I have zero confidence in him, his GK technique is unorthodox to be kind or bad to be honest. Bombscare at crosses and often with simple shots
RB AWB imo is the better of the 2 but none of them would get into any of the top sides outside of Liverpool where I personally think TAA is the most over rated player to play the game.
LB shaw he's probably the only defender we have that is actually good enough for United but he does pick up injuries.
CB martinez I'm a fan, but is he really top class? Had a very good season last season and if he can repeat that when he gets back then he is a top player.
Cb varane, misses near half the matches per season. Top class operator but we need someone that can play 50+ games a season.
Cb lindelof good squad player, not good enough to be a regular
Cb maguire not good enough vs any top sides. Good against the lutons and Sheffield Uniteds of the world.
Cb Evans see maguire
Cm Ericsson past it and can't play 90 minutes or twice a week.
Cm casemiro fantastic last season poor this season. I'm personally hoping this is a team issue rather than cass being done.
Cm amrabat, hasn't started well
Cm mount, never understood this signing, also hasn't started well
Cm Bruno, love him but I do think his lack of care on the ball is hindering us. But unfortunately we haven't got anyone to take his place because no one is performing well enough to threaten him and Bruno does create and score if nothing else.
Mctominay can't understand why he's constantly picked by managers. He's at best a mid table player.
LW rashford, once upon a time he looked like he could be world class, but he's not. He's lazy, temperamental and vastly over paid.
Rw, are any of them actually good enough, they all seem to be different shades of average. Pellestri and amad, there's a chance one can come good, but I wouldn't put my house on it. Antony was a terrible signing and sancho has the ability but not the minerals to be a united player
Cf Rasmus, shouldn't be leading the line. He should be an understudy to an experienced top striker. Feel sorry for him
Cf Martial, too injury prone. Had all the potential to be a top player but any time he seems to be getting any form or rhythm he breaks down.
I purposely didn't mention mainoo, gore, garnacho etc because they're youngsters who are still developing and nothing to do with the rubbish we've been served up recently.
I've possibly missed a few out, some like VDB because he's not really part of it any more and will be going and others I've just overlooked. But if you go through are squad, it doesn't bode well. Obviously this is just my opinion and I'm sure plenty will disagree but I think we need nearly a full first team and squad.
